Speaker 1 (00:00):
And it's Friday, the end of the week. And by
the way, for every mom out there, hope you have
a great weekend. Hope they have something nice planned for
you this weekend. It's going to be nice on Sunday.
After all this rain. It's supposed to be really nice
for moms on Sunday. So I hope you have a
wonderful day in the Big Three today, a lot going
(00:21):
on before Mother's Day weekend. We have a new pope
for the first time. The pope is an American Cardinal,
Robert Francis Prevost born in Chicago, is now Pope Leo
the fourteenth.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
He has a heart of as large as the whole world.
He has a heart that immediately gravitates to the people
who are the most overlooked forgotten.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
At seven oh five, we'll talk with Wrs. Rob Astorino,
who is at the Vatican. The New York US Attorney
and the Justice Department has officially opened a criminal investmenttigation
into New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
They're claiming that I engaged in mortgage fraud, that I
somehow decided that I was a resident of Virginia, which
would be some commute every morning to the office of
twenty eight Liberty.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, she actually used Virginia as part of the mortgage fraud.
We'll get more into that later on. Help is coming
from the Trump administration to Newark Liberty International Airport.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Immediately.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
We're in the process of bringing together all the airlines
that serve Newark and putting them in a room and
having a conversation about how they reduce their capacity in Newark.
So if you book a flight, you know it's not
going to be delayed or canceled. You're actually going to
get on that fight and it's going to fly.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
That's the short term help, followed by a nationwide major
upgrade to the air traffic control system all across the country.
Tom Holman says, any of the students with visas who
took part in the violent protest at Columbia Butler Library
yesterday or this week will be deported.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
So if they want to come here and support our enemies,
a terrorist organization, they want to take over college campuses,
they want to sell now security guards, they want to
damage college property, They're going to be deported.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And Donald Trump announces the first major trade deal since
the tariff wars began.
Speaker 7 (02:25):
This was the president's deal and people think, oh, that's
not the way it works. If you got to sit
next to him, I have the best deal.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Maker to my left.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
And if you don't think that we take advantage of
him calling the Prime minister getting that deal done, you
don't understand who's the president of United States.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Trump says more deals are expected in the coming weeks
and this weekend Scott Bessett will be in Switzerland and
start formal talks with China. And former President Joe Biden
was on the BBC. He was on the View. It's
the comeback that nobody wanted, not even Democrats.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
Democratic voters are over him. Democratic lawmakers are angry at him,
and Democratic donors are over him. They're passed and they're
done with him. They don't want him around.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
He is still stumbling and bumbling and Jill had to
save him more than once on the View. You'll hear
for yourself. We'll be talking about it coming up at
eight thirty five. And a reminder for any of the
topics we just talked about, for anything we talked about
during the show, would also love to hear from you.
Go to iHeartRadio. They are Heart Radio App, and then
(03:35):
leave us a talkback. You could win a limited edition,
very highly sought after Mentie in the Morning T shirt
which is extremely valuable. Oh there you go. Natalie to
my left is modeling one right now on which he's
actually just holding it up, which will be awarded each
day to our favorite talk back of the morning. And
(03:57):
while you're on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure to
set a pet for seven to ten wo r Man.
That is really nice. I mean I almost have to
shun my eyes because it's just it's just so beautiful.
It's almost overwhelming. It is it is. And look at luxurious.
H you're caressing it. That's it. You got a little
(04:18):
far on this thing. Anyway, how about that? We I
thought it was going to be like five six days.
Everybody was predicting this is going to be much longer.
It was two days, having the bells ringing, the crowd
cheering and all kind of mixed together. And then we
(04:40):
had a huge surprise. The first American ever chosen, and
even the Americans they were talking about didn't get it.
It was Robert Francis Prevost from Chicago.
Speaker 9 (04:54):
Nobody really knows how the Holy Spirit is going to
move among the cardinals and the conclave. They don't walk
in with a set plan or a set agenda. They
go in with a spirit of prayer, seeking the guidance
of the Holy Spirit. And therefore it's a surprise in
that sense every.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Year, every single in that year. Doesn't happen every year,
but every time they're going to select a new pope.
Every single time, all of the experts are wrong. They're
always wrong. The betting odds are always off. That's why
you should always pick the field, which I wish I
would have done. I said a million times I was
(05:31):
going to do it, and then I didn't do it.
If I would have picked the field, I would have
got this guy and I'd be I'd be rich off
the pope.
Speaker 10 (05:42):
But the surprise of people, I mean, first off, when
the announcement happened, I happened to be in the newsroom.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Natalie migli Ory was going nuts, like, we got a bob,
we got a bull. That was great. That was a
really good impersonation. By the way, I can see doing
exactly that. No, it was I was driving home and
it came across as a you know, an alert and
I was like, I was on the phone with my
(06:09):
wife at the time, and I said, we just got
a pope. She goes already.
Speaker 11 (06:12):
I know.
Speaker 10 (06:13):
My family was going back and forth, and then when
they found out it was an American, my phone was
going nuts.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
This is so brilliant. I'm not sure this is why
they did it, but the Americans needed to have a pope.
The American Catholics were losing their way, and I really
think this is important to bring people, bring the flock
back together because people across the country were losing their way,
not going to church, not taking the sacrament. So I
(06:41):
think this is really important. And this guy seems brilliant.
He seems like the perfect choice. I'm not sure why
they hadn't talked about him. He is both fluent, by
the way, in Spanish and Italian, and when he addressed
the crowd, he spoke Italian.
Speaker 12 (06:56):
Graziapa Francisco, that was thank you, Pope Francis.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
And then of course it was an interpreter, so you
get to hear a little bit and understand a little
bit of what he had to say.
Speaker 12 (07:09):
We have to be a church that works together to
build bridges and to keep our arms open like this
very piazza, welcoming.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
And you could Apparently you couldn't hear the pope because
people cheered the entire time that he spoke. He was
like Elvis to the Catholic Church. You can't no matter
what he did, you weren't going to be able to
get to hear him. Apparently the name is extremely significant,
and how he came out yesterday and in all of
(07:42):
the traditional garnishes, all the traditional attire, and so he
is taking us back. Remember, Pope Francis was more humble.
This man is humble too, but has respect for the church.
So the fact that he went back so many years,
over one hundred years to take Leo, who by the way,
(08:02):
was a great pope, Apparently he was one of the
igat No. I guess it was the first Leo that
fought back at Tilla the hun from coming into the Vatican.
So but he is reaching back and saying we have
to respect our traditions, calling us back to the tradition
of Catholic social teaching.
Speaker 13 (08:22):
Every Catholic scholar and student of Catholic history will know
who Leah the thirteenth is. And so he's in a sense,
I would think he's aligning himself with that great tradition
of Catholic social teaching.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
But stealing the show all day yesterday were the Pope's brothers.
They are a riot. They are so funny. So there's Lewis.
Lewis was one of the brothers, and he said something fascinating. Apparently,
(08:54):
this Pope Robert has been very wholly, very Catholic his
entire life, to the point where his brother Lewis said
to him.
Speaker 14 (09:04):
We used to tease him, you're going to be Pope someday.
You're too holy and you know, joking, ribbing, and when
he went into the seminary, it's like, oh wow, okay.
And then a couple of years ago when the Pope
made him a cardinal, it's like this could happen.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Holy Come and his brother John helped him prepare for
this moment and I said, well, are you ready for this?
I said, did you watch the movie Conclass so you
know how to behave? And he had just finished watching
the movieclip. You know, he met with the press, he
met with the staff, he met with the other cardinals
and they were you know, they were all there together
(09:39):
for this meeting. So you hear that his brothers are funny.
You hear his brothers have a sense of humor. He
has one too, because in front of everybody he speaks,
he was thanking the flock, he was thanking the other cardinals,
he was thanking Francis. He was being very humble, and
then out of nowhere, he says.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
This is not a complaint headquarters, but we're under staffed.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
There are bunch of ary issues.
Speaker 14 (10:04):
But we don't need to go there.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
So it's good. This is what a wonderful choice. He's
got a sense of humor, he has a sense of tradition.
He's American, and I think this is great for the
American church. And by the way, it's Mother's Day this weekend,
and there's a new stamp to commemorate it. We'll tell
you who's on that stamp. Next plus tickets to see
the boot Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald at age twenty five,
(10:29):
Let's talk about the big story of the day with
the man who was there, Rob Astino, host of The
Rob Astorino Show on w r Saturdays four to five,
host of Saturday Agenda one to three on Newsmax, and
former Westchester County executive. So where were you for the
black smoke and explain the experience.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Well, that's what you mean, for the white smile. I
was there for the black smoke, but demily, the white
smoke yesterday.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I was three readers, three times for the black sloke. Right,
were you there each time?
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Okay, yes, So I saw the black smoke and then honestly,
nobody expected white smoke yesterday. That just was not in
the carts at least the conventional thinking, which is always
like throw it all out anyway, because nobody has really
any clue because they're so secluded what's going on in
That'sisteine Chapel with those one hundred and thirty three cardinals.
(11:24):
So everyone was speculating. But the conventional wisdom going it
was no way this is going to go at least
to Friday, maybe Saturday, and there was talk of Monday.
But you know what, they worked it out. They figured
it out. And so when that smoke went, I was there,
and as the afternoon started getting later, just thousands and
thousands of people were making their way in anticipation, and
(11:46):
then it was just like a lore, like a roar.
When people saw the white smoke, just excitement and it
was just great. And then of course we had to
wait until Cardinal Mom came out to make the announcement.
And when he said, you know, Robert Francis goddinal.
Speaker 11 (12:10):
Like Waly mackerel, it was an exciting day.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
You know what, it proves. It proves the experts are
wrong every single time about everything, about how long it's
going to take, about who it's going to be. Uh,
you can't guess at this kind of thing. You can't
bet on this kind of thing. I wish you're telling Natalie,
I'm always going to take the field every time we
have a new.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Cope, absolutely. And you know what, whenever there's the papability,
you know, the front honitors, they never make it. And
there's a reason for that. They I think both sides
almost want their their trojan horses. And and it's always
going to be somebody else. And you know, we were
going through the list of the ten Americans and I'm
(13:00):
when I said from the beginning, it's never going to
be a cardinal archbishop. So it wouldn't as much as
I wanted, it wouldn't be a Dolan or Toven, you know,
somebody running a diacese. It would be somebody like prevost
he would really be the candidate, but I never expected
that he would be picked as the American first pope.
But if you look at his credentials, if you look
(13:20):
at his resume, he checks a lot of boxes. You know,
he was in a diocese, he grew up in Chicago,
He did mission work as they do in the Augustinians.
He was worldwide, visited fifty countries. He spent time in
the Vatican in a very high position, so he knows
how it runs and how it works, and he knows
all the players. So he really did fit just about
(13:42):
every box.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
And he's just so likable, and I think that's a
big deal, the fact that all the cardinals seem to
like them.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yeah, and you know, he was in charge of the
dicastriph for the bishop, so basically he was the one
vetting all of the potential bishops worldwide, or I should
say candidates for bishop worldwide. So he would basically put
the dottee together, do the vetting, and present some candidates
who are the pope to make a pick in every diocese.
(14:13):
So just imagine everybody he knows. So he's walking in there,
you know, already knowing who he probably wants to elevate
his cardinal as he goes forward. But the one thing
I was disappointed in yesterday, Larry and is in his
I thought, really good first public announcements, if you will,
(14:33):
the prayer and everything. But it was an Italian. It
was in Spanish, it was in Latin, but I did
not hear a word of English, and I thought, I
thought that would be good. I didn't want to hear you,
but I think he could have said something in English
that would have just said to the world, you know, yes,
I'm an American. He speaks I think eight languages. But
(14:53):
other than that, I spoke to two very two conservative
cardinals and they said to me, he's going to be okay.
And I think because conservatives were like, oh no, we
got Obama too, we got Francis the sequel. No, I
don't think it's going to be that he is leftist
and he's missionary work. But I think he's going to
(15:14):
bring it back to the more central focus of what
the church is.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I believe that too. And I think it was significant
that he picked Leo the fourteenth because yeah, yeah, you
know why I'm saying that, because Leo is exactly the
way that you said the last Leo, the Leo the
thirteenth was exactly what you were talking about.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Yeah, And I remember reading Reream Navaram at one point,
and that in cyclical talked about the workers. It talked
about and this is where the left and the right
kind of tears it apart and picks at their view.
It denounced capitalism in some respects, but it also denounced socialism.
It was more about the human dignity and the worker
and those kind of things helping the poor. So there's
(15:56):
a little bit of everything in there. But I mean,
he's a traditionalist, and I don't think he's going to
go off and create chaos like Francis did.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
And you saw he was a traditionalist right when he
came out, just because he was the traditional garments he
put back on. I think that was a statement.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I think exactly a great point. And I think he's
going to live in the Vatican where Francis didn't. And
it'll be interesting if he makes a visit to the
United States.
Speaker 11 (16:24):
Maybe.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Wouldn't it be great next year for the two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of America if he showed up there.
I think that would be great.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
No, it'd be wonderful, and I'm sure he knows that,
and I'm sure he's thinking the same thing. So we'll
wait for the announcement and we'll give you credit for
calling it out before anybody else did. That's wonderful, Rob Astno,
thank you so much. Rob Astorino, host of The Rob
Astorino Show on WOR Saturday is from four to five,
host of Saturday Agenda on newsmac's former Westchester County executive. Hey, Rob, yeah,
(16:55):
I actually we have just a little bit more time.
Donald Trump said, yeah, yesterday that he was invited to
the Vatican and he's going. Have you heard anything about that.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I haven't heard that he's invited for the installation Mass.
Maybe what he's talking about, because we're all wondering when
that might be. The new pope had his first Mass
this morning with all the cardinals, but his installation Mass
could be a week from now or sooner. So that
would be great if Trump, If Trump came, No, Trump.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Was I thought Trump was perfect. I thought Trump said
how great it was to have an American It was
quite an honor. He said he was invited already. He
said he's going to go, So I even though there
are people, as you pointed out on social media, that
are upset and saying he's anti Maga and he's anti America.
I think you're absolutely right. Somebody changes when they become pope,
(17:48):
and I'm not sure I think either way. Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
You know, I don't if you saw this, but he
was a registered Republican, he voted in Chicago in the
presidential elections going back twenty years, and he's a dual
citizen and ship America and Peru. So he's a little.
Speaker 11 (18:06):
Bit of everything.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I thank you very much. Rob Astorino, host of The
Rob Astino Show on WR four to five. Thanks Rob,
just a recap for you. Former Justice Suitor has died
at the age of eighty five. He retired from the
Supreme Court back in two thousand and nine. He retired
when he was only sixty nine years old. They are
(18:29):
right currently right now, four Supreme Court justices who are
older than him. Soda Mayor, I believe it was Sonya
Soda Mayor replaced him on the Supreme Court. But we
got the news just today that former Justice Suitor David
(18:50):
Souter has died at the age of eighty five. Now
let's go to the movie guy, Joe Neumeyer. Thanks. He's
the host of wor Movie Minute. He's also a long
time film journalist, and where it's he's coming on just
in time for all of the summer movies, and I'm
(19:10):
sure he's seen most of them at this point. Uh,
first of all, let's start with this, Joe, talk about
what an important time it is right now for movies.
This is when they hopefully you'll make a lot of money.
This and Christmas.
Speaker 11 (19:24):
Right, that's exactly right, Lair. And and you know, it's
one of those things where it's you know, people sort
of talk about, you know, box office. Usually it's about
it's there's three or four major movies every year that
kind of, you know, lift up the box office. It's
so far out we've had, you know, the Minecraft movie
was a huge hit. Thunderbolts surprisingly, I'm was it was
a really big hit. It was a few others, but
(19:45):
but really, you know, Hollywoods were banks on it. It's
like it's like they're it's their big it's their big thing.
It's every summer. They've got to be able to kind
of have something to show for all that all that
all that junk that they put out, and to be honest, uh,
when when the when the summer movies hit, people say, Wow,
what a great summer that was. I don't know if
this summer is going to be that, but I think
there's some some good potential stuff. One of the things
(20:05):
that's sort of shocking is the big one that's coming out, obviously,
is Mission Impossible, the Final Reckoning. Now we assume it's
the Final Reckoning. They say it. You know, I'm sure
there could be some way that Tom Cruise would jump
out of an airplane and they'd be able to film
it and throw it out there as another Mission Impossible movie.
But this one comes out twenty nine years after the
first one he did. I was doing some research that
first Mission Impossible movie came out in nineteen ninety six.
(20:28):
A lot of the kids who are gonna be going
to the movie theater weren't even born then, probably not
even you know, ten years away from being born. So hopefully,
you know, it'll live up to the great stunt standards
of all the other movies in this series. And that
is something that that is true, Like all those all
those stunts and all these Mission Impossible movies have been great,
so that one's coming out from Memorial Day. Then you've
got a couple of other things that I think are
(20:48):
going to be you know, a lot of them are
reboots or sequels, but they're still exciting. Twenty eight years
Later is the latest in that zombie series that also
came out like in the early two thousand and twenty
eight days later. Then you've got Karate Kid Legends, which
is gonna bring Ralph Macho and Jackie Chan together. There's
gonna be a new film called f One, not a
(21:09):
sequel and not a reboot to anything. And it starts
Brad Pitt and he's like this down in his race
car driver who gets another chance on the track. That
looks kind of good. The big, the Big Fourth of
July movie is gonna be another sequel, but it's Jurassic
World rebirth. Same kind of idea. I wish they'd do
something new with these dinos. This is the same kind
of thing. Humans go to a dinosaur island and you know,
(21:30):
guess guess what bad stuff happens? You don't go to
the island where there's dinosaurs. Ow right, Well, she knows
this all Like seven movies in if they say go
to the Dinosaur Island. Don't go the opposite way. There's
a new Fantastic four movie comes around, which I feel
like every generation gets there, gets their Fantastic Four movie.
This one's called Fantastic Fourth first steps. Marvel's gonna try
(21:53):
and bring in the you know, that first family of
superheroes that they had back in nineteen sixty two into
the fold. We'll see if they can do it. There's
a reboot The Naked Gun, which is a great series
of the It was a sixth episode TV show that
became a series of films with Leslie Nielsen. This time
Liam Neeson plays the Goofy cop and then Superman. They're
(22:13):
reintroducing Superman as they again like they do every ten
years or so. I've got hopes for this one. It's
directed by James Gunn, who did the Guardians of the
Galaxy movies, and we'll see if it kind of lives
up to it's not going to live up to my
favorite superhero movie of all time, which is that first
Superman movie that Christopher Reeve did in seventy eight, which obviously,
you know, everybody remembers as a landmark come not a
(22:36):
summer movie though Superman back in seventy eight. It was
a Christmas movie, but it was magical.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I agree with you that was the best Superman movie.
It was just absolutely captivating. And I think a lot
of it's because of the actors, not just because it
was Superman. It was really well acted.
Speaker 11 (22:54):
That's right. And it also had it had a sense
of innocence and Americana to it, you know, thens of
them in small Villa or even before he ever puts
on the red and blue suit, like there's sort of
a set. There's an epic quality to that first movie
that I think is really hard to capture. But that
was also like that was before Hollywood kind of even
kind of knew what a summer movie was. Jaws and
seventy five, as we always know, kicks off the blockbuster era.
(23:18):
But even like even Star Wars, like that Summer of
seventy seven was sort of like Star Wars, The Spy
Who Loved Me and Smoking in the Bandit like that
was sort of it. Hollywood was still remembering, Oh, right,
kids in summertime have things to do. I guess back
in the seventies, said I was the seventies kid. You
went out and you played and you know, you ran
around the wart. Yeah, uh, you didn't.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Just right right, right right, you know, right back. Just
I want to talk about Superman for one more second,
because you tapped into something that I believe is true.
They didn't try to do too much with it. They
it was there was an innocence about it. It was
like it was like the cartoon or the comic book
you read as a kid. And I think that's what
(23:56):
power was. All these movies now try to do way
too much, and sometimes that gets the story gets lost
or the characters get lost in the story.
Speaker 11 (24:06):
I totally agree. And we were talking like that a
little bit on with Thunderbolts last week. You know that
it's like Thunderbolts, like all the superhero movies and all
these kind of big you know they call them IP,
all these big international you know, probably is that that
they're trying to bring in. Don't really, they don't really
have that same thing. And Superman as a story, I
mean it was part of the story was written by
Mario Puzo, who had written The Godfather. So it has
(24:27):
like a great, you know, a great sort of basis
to it. You had the you know, the comic books
that it really kind of adhere to and it was
about kind of doing good. Lex Luthor was a great villain,
but it was sort of it was about more than
it was more than about like just fist fights or
big explosions or things like that. So, you know, anytime
Superman's on TV and I and this sounds like a
cliche of the story, I will always leave it on.
Superman is Superman too. But Superman the first one is phenomenal.
(24:50):
But once they started to get into the eighties, then
you get the big summer stuff that you know. For
my money, and I've been on record for this for
a long time, the greatest summer for summer movies of
all time is nineteen eighty two. Are you ready for
this amazing list? Larry Rocky three, Poultergeist, Star Trek two,
(25:10):
The Wrath of Khan Et, The Extraterrestrial Conan, The Barbarian
Blade Runner, The Thing, Firefox, Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Tron which is not a good movie, but it's still
fun to watch, night Shift, which is a great comedy,
and even the best Friday the Thirteenth movie, Friday the
Thirteenth three D, which is ridiculous. What I would watch
any of those movies, or all of them right now.
(25:32):
I would just, you know, get a giant vat of
coffee and watch all of them right now. Those are
all amazing movies.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Let me since, since you're a critic, let me tell
you my favorite line ever from a critic. That was
from the late great Dennis Cunningham, who saw Conan the
Barbarian and said about Arnold Schwarzenegger, I'd call him a
great actor, but he's not that good yet. Excuse me,
I blew the line. I'd call him a bad actor,
but he's not that good.
Speaker 11 (25:58):
But he's not that good yet, right, But he's perfect
to go to the Barbarian. You know, he doesn't have
to do much. He just kind of hopes around. Yeah,
that's a great line, and that was a great summer.
I was like fifteen at that summer. What an amazing
summer to be fifteen to be watching all those all
those great films. We'll never have one like that, but
hopefully some of these, you know, will have the kids
who are fifteen now we'll be able to go and say,
(26:19):
oh I just saw Fantasm or oh I just saw Superman.
Chances are they won't have the same experience Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
There's nothing original anymore. So what you saw last summer
you might see this summer. So it's so disappointing but
I can't wait. At the same time, I can't wait
to see it. Joe Neumeyer, a film journalist, wo R
Movie Minute host. Thanks so much, Joe, have a good weekend.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
Thanks Larry, you too,
And it's Friday, the end of the week. And by
the way, for every mom out there, hope you have
a great weekend. Hope they have something nice planned for
you this weekend. It's going to be nice on Sunday.
After all this rain. It's supposed to be really nice
for moms on Sunday. So I hope you have a
wonderful day in the Big Three today, a lot going
(00:21):
on before Mother's Day weekend. We have a new pope
for the first time. The pope is an American Cardinal,
Robert Francis Prevost born in Chicago, is now Pope Leo
the fourteenth.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
He has a heart of as large as the whole world.
He has a heart that immediately gravitates to the people
who are the most overlooked forgotten.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
At seven oh five, we'll talk with Wrs. Rob Astorino,
who is at the Vatican. The New York US Attorney
and the Justice Department has officially opened a criminal investmenttigation
into New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
They're claiming that I engaged in mortgage fraud, that I
somehow decided that I was a resident of Virginia, which
would be some commute every morning to the office of
twenty eight Liberty.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, she actually used Virginia as part of the mortgage fraud.
We'll get more into that later on. Help is coming
from the Trump administration to Newark Liberty International Airport.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Immediately.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
We're in the process of bringing together all the airlines
that serve Newark and putting them in a room and
having a conversation about how they reduce their capacity in Newark.
So if you book a flight, you know it's not
going to be delayed or canceled. You're actually going to
get on that fight and it's going to fly.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
That's the short term help, followed by a nationwide major
upgrade to the air traffic control system all across the country.
Tom Holman says, any of the students with visas who
took part in the violent protest at Columbia Butler Library
yesterday or this week will be deported.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
So if they want to come here and support our enemies,
a terrorist organization, they want to take over college campuses,
they want to sell now security guards, they want to
damage college property, They're going to be deported.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And Donald Trump announces the first major trade deal since
the tariff wars began.
Speaker 7 (02:25):
This was the president's deal and people think, oh, that's
not the way it works. If you got to sit
next to him, I have the best deal.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Maker to my left.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
And if you don't think that we take advantage of
him calling the Prime minister getting that deal done, you
don't understand who's the president of United States.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Trump says more deals are expected in the coming weeks
and this weekend Scott Bessett will be in Switzerland and
start formal talks with China. And former President Joe Biden
was on the BBC. He was on the View. It's
the comeback that nobody wanted, not even Democrats.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
Democratic voters are over him. Democratic lawmakers are angry at him,
and Democratic donors are over him. They're passed and they're
done with him. They don't want him around.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
He is still stumbling and bumbling and Jill had to
save him more than once on the View. You'll hear
for yourself. We'll be talking about it coming up at
eight thirty five. And a reminder for any of the
topics we just talked about, for anything we talked about
during the show, would also love to hear from you.
Go to iHeartRadio. They are Heart Radio App, and then
(03:35):
leave us a talkback. You could win a limited edition,
very highly sought after Mentie in the Morning T shirt
which is extremely valuable. Oh there you go. Natalie to
my left is modeling one right now on which he's
actually just holding it up, which will be awarded each
day to our favorite talk back of the morning. And
(03:57):
while you're on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure to
set a pet for seven to ten wo r Man.
That is really nice. I mean I almost have to
shun my eyes because it's just it's just so beautiful.
It's almost overwhelming. It is it is. And look at luxurious.
H you're caressing it. That's it. You got a little
(04:18):
far on this thing. Anyway, how about that? We I
thought it was going to be like five six days.
Everybody was predicting this is going to be much longer.
It was two days, having the bells ringing, the crowd
cheering and all kind of mixed together. And then we
(04:40):
had a huge surprise. The first American ever chosen, and
even the Americans they were talking about didn't get it.
It was Robert Francis Prevost from Chicago.
Speaker 9 (04:54):
Nobody really knows how the Holy Spirit is going to
move among the cardinals and the conclave. They don't walk
in with a set plan or a set agenda. They
go in with a spirit of prayer, seeking the guidance
of the Holy Spirit. And therefore it's a surprise in
that sense every.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Year, every single in that year. Doesn't happen every year,
but every time they're going to select a new pope.
Every single time, all of the experts are wrong. They're
always wrong. The betting odds are always off. That's why
you should always pick the field, which I wish I
would have done. I said a million times I was
(05:31):
going to do it, and then I didn't do it.
If I would have picked the field, I would have
got this guy and I'd be I'd be rich off
the pope.
Speaker 10 (05:42):
But the surprise of people, I mean, first off, when
the announcement happened, I happened to be in the newsroom.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Natalie migli Ory was going nuts, like, we got a bob,
we got a bull. That was great. That was a
really good impersonation. By the way, I can see doing
exactly that. No, it was I was driving home and
it came across as a you know, an alert and
I was like, I was on the phone with my
(06:09):
wife at the time, and I said, we just got
a pope. She goes already.
Speaker 11 (06:12):
I know.
Speaker 10 (06:13):
My family was going back and forth, and then when
they found out it was an American, my phone was
going nuts.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
This is so brilliant. I'm not sure this is why
they did it, but the Americans needed to have a pope.
The American Catholics were losing their way, and I really
think this is important to bring people, bring the flock
back together because people across the country were losing their way,
not going to church, not taking the sacrament. So I
(06:41):
think this is really important. And this guy seems brilliant.
He seems like the perfect choice. I'm not sure why
they hadn't talked about him. He is both fluent, by
the way, in Spanish and Italian, and when he addressed
the crowd, he spoke Italian.
Speaker 12 (06:56):
Graziapa Francisco, that was thank you, Pope Francis.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
And then of course it was an interpreter, so you
get to hear a little bit and understand a little
bit of what he had to say.
Speaker 12 (07:09):
We have to be a church that works together to
build bridges and to keep our arms open like this
very piazza, welcoming.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
And you could Apparently you couldn't hear the pope because
people cheered the entire time that he spoke. He was
like Elvis to the Catholic Church. You can't no matter
what he did, you weren't going to be able to
get to hear him. Apparently the name is extremely significant,
and how he came out yesterday and in all of
(07:42):
the traditional garnishes, all the traditional attire, and so he
is taking us back. Remember, Pope Francis was more humble.
This man is humble too, but has respect for the church.
So the fact that he went back so many years,
over one hundred years to take Leo, who by the way,
(08:02):
was a great pope, Apparently he was one of the
igat No. I guess it was the first Leo that
fought back at Tilla the hun from coming into the Vatican.
So but he is reaching back and saying we have
to respect our traditions, calling us back to the tradition
of Catholic social teaching.
Speaker 13 (08:22):
Every Catholic scholar and student of Catholic history will know
who Leah the thirteenth is. And so he's in a sense,
I would think he's aligning himself with that great tradition
of Catholic social teaching.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
But stealing the show all day yesterday were the Pope's brothers.
They are a riot. They are so funny. So there's Lewis.
Lewis was one of the brothers, and he said something fascinating. Apparently,
(08:54):
this Pope Robert has been very wholly, very Catholic his
entire life, to the point where his brother Lewis said
to him.
Speaker 14 (09:04):
We used to tease him, you're going to be Pope someday.
You're too holy and you know, joking, ribbing, and when
he went into the seminary, it's like, oh wow, okay.
And then a couple of years ago when the Pope
made him a cardinal, it's like this could happen.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Holy Come and his brother John helped him prepare for
this moment and I said, well, are you ready for this?
I said, did you watch the movie Conclass so you
know how to behave? And he had just finished watching
the movieclip. You know, he met with the press, he
met with the staff, he met with the other cardinals
and they were you know, they were all there together
(09:39):
for this meeting. So you hear that his brothers are funny.
You hear his brothers have a sense of humor. He
has one too, because in front of everybody he speaks,
he was thanking the flock, he was thanking the other cardinals,
he was thanking Francis. He was being very humble, and
then out of nowhere, he says.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
This is not a complaint headquarters, but we're under staffed.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
There are bunch of ary issues.
Speaker 14 (10:04):
But we don't need to go there.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
So it's good. This is what a wonderful choice. He's
got a sense of humor, he has a sense of tradition.
He's American, and I think this is great for the
American church. And by the way, it's Mother's Day this weekend,
and there's a new stamp to commemorate it. We'll tell
you who's on that stamp. Next plus tickets to see
the boot Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald at age twenty five,
(10:29):
Let's talk about the big story of the day with
the man who was there, Rob Astino, host of The
Rob Astorino Show on w r Saturdays four to five,
host of Saturday Agenda one to three on Newsmax, and
former Westchester County executive. So where were you for the
black smoke and explain the experience.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Well, that's what you mean, for the white smile. I
was there for the black smoke, but demily, the white
smoke yesterday.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I was three readers, three times for the black sloke. Right,
were you there each time?
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Okay, yes, So I saw the black smoke and then honestly,
nobody expected white smoke yesterday. That just was not in
the carts at least the conventional thinking, which is always
like throw it all out anyway, because nobody has really
any clue because they're so secluded what's going on in
That'sisteine Chapel with those one hundred and thirty three cardinals.
(11:24):
So everyone was speculating. But the conventional wisdom going it
was no way this is going to go at least
to Friday, maybe Saturday, and there was talk of Monday.
But you know what, they worked it out. They figured
it out. And so when that smoke went, I was there,
and as the afternoon started getting later, just thousands and
thousands of people were making their way in anticipation, and
(11:46):
then it was just like a lore, like a roar.
When people saw the white smoke, just excitement and it
was just great. And then of course we had to
wait until Cardinal Mom came out to make the announcement.
And when he said, you know, Robert Francis goddinal.
Speaker 11 (12:10):
Like Waly mackerel, it was an exciting day.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
You know what, it proves. It proves the experts are
wrong every single time about everything, about how long it's
going to take, about who it's going to be. Uh,
you can't guess at this kind of thing. You can't
bet on this kind of thing. I wish you're telling Natalie,
I'm always going to take the field every time we
have a new.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Cope, absolutely. And you know what, whenever there's the papability,
you know, the front honitors, they never make it. And
there's a reason for that. They I think both sides
almost want their their trojan horses. And and it's always
going to be somebody else. And you know, we were
going through the list of the ten Americans and I'm
(13:00):
when I said from the beginning, it's never going to
be a cardinal archbishop. So it wouldn't as much as
I wanted, it wouldn't be a Dolan or Toven, you know,
somebody running a diacese. It would be somebody like prevost
he would really be the candidate, but I never expected
that he would be picked as the American first pope.
But if you look at his credentials, if you look
(13:20):
at his resume, he checks a lot of boxes. You know,
he was in a diocese, he grew up in Chicago,
He did mission work as they do in the Augustinians.
He was worldwide, visited fifty countries. He spent time in
the Vatican in a very high position, so he knows
how it runs and how it works, and he knows
all the players. So he really did fit just about
(13:42):
every box.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
And he's just so likable, and I think that's a
big deal, the fact that all the cardinals seem to
like them.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yeah, and you know, he was in charge of the
dicastriph for the bishop, so basically he was the one
vetting all of the potential bishops worldwide, or I should
say candidates for bishop worldwide. So he would basically put
the dottee together, do the vetting, and present some candidates
who are the pope to make a pick in every diocese.
(14:13):
So just imagine everybody he knows. So he's walking in there,
you know, already knowing who he probably wants to elevate
his cardinal as he goes forward. But the one thing
I was disappointed in yesterday, Larry and is in his
I thought, really good first public announcements, if you will,
(14:33):
the prayer and everything. But it was an Italian. It
was in Spanish, it was in Latin, but I did
not hear a word of English, and I thought, I
thought that would be good. I didn't want to hear you,
but I think he could have said something in English
that would have just said to the world, you know, yes,
I'm an American. He speaks I think eight languages. But
(14:53):
other than that, I spoke to two very two conservative
cardinals and they said to me, he's going to be okay.
And I think because conservatives were like, oh no, we
got Obama too, we got Francis the sequel. No, I
don't think it's going to be that he is leftist
and he's missionary work. But I think he's going to
(15:14):
bring it back to the more central focus of what
the church is.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I believe that too. And I think it was significant
that he picked Leo the fourteenth because yeah, yeah, you
know why I'm saying that, because Leo is exactly the
way that you said the last Leo, the Leo the
thirteenth was exactly what you were talking about.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Yeah, And I remember reading Reream Navaram at one point,
and that in cyclical talked about the workers. It talked
about and this is where the left and the right
kind of tears it apart and picks at their view.
It denounced capitalism in some respects, but it also denounced socialism.
It was more about the human dignity and the worker
and those kind of things helping the poor. So there's
(15:56):
a little bit of everything in there. But I mean,
he's a traditionalist, and I don't think he's going to
go off and create chaos like Francis did.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
And you saw he was a traditionalist right when he
came out, just because he was the traditional garments he
put back on. I think that was a statement.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I think exactly a great point. And I think he's
going to live in the Vatican where Francis didn't. And
it'll be interesting if he makes a visit to the
United States.
Speaker 11 (16:24):
Maybe.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Wouldn't it be great next year for the two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of America if he showed up there.
I think that would be great.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
No, it'd be wonderful, and I'm sure he knows that,
and I'm sure he's thinking the same thing. So we'll
wait for the announcement and we'll give you credit for
calling it out before anybody else did. That's wonderful, Rob Astno,
thank you so much. Rob Astorino, host of The Rob
Astorino Show on WOR Saturday is from four to five,
host of Saturday Agenda on newsmac's former Westchester County executive. Hey, Rob, yeah,
(16:55):
I actually we have just a little bit more time.
Donald Trump said, yeah, yesterday that he was invited to
the Vatican and he's going. Have you heard anything about that.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I haven't heard that he's invited for the installation Mass.
Maybe what he's talking about, because we're all wondering when
that might be. The new pope had his first Mass
this morning with all the cardinals, but his installation Mass
could be a week from now or sooner. So that
would be great if Trump, If Trump came, No, Trump.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Was I thought Trump was perfect. I thought Trump said
how great it was to have an American It was
quite an honor. He said he was invited already. He
said he's going to go, So I even though there
are people, as you pointed out on social media, that
are upset and saying he's anti Maga and he's anti America.
I think you're absolutely right. Somebody changes when they become pope,
(17:48):
and I'm not sure I think either way. Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
You know, I don't if you saw this, but he
was a registered Republican, he voted in Chicago in the
presidential elections going back twenty years, and he's a dual
citizen and ship America and Peru. So he's a little.
Speaker 11 (18:06):
Bit of everything.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I thank you very much. Rob Astorino, host of The
Rob Astino Show on WR four to five. Thanks Rob,
just a recap for you. Former Justice Suitor has died
at the age of eighty five. He retired from the
Supreme Court back in two thousand and nine. He retired
when he was only sixty nine years old. They are
(18:29):
right currently right now, four Supreme Court justices who are
older than him. Soda Mayor, I believe it was Sonya
Soda Mayor replaced him on the Supreme Court. But we
got the news just today that former Justice Suitor David
(18:50):
Souter has died at the age of eighty five. Now
let's go to the movie guy, Joe Neumeyer. Thanks. He's
the host of wor Movie Minute. He's also a long
time film journalist, and where it's he's coming on just
in time for all of the summer movies, and I'm
(19:10):
sure he's seen most of them at this point. Uh,
first of all, let's start with this, Joe, talk about
what an important time it is right now for movies.
This is when they hopefully you'll make a lot of money.
This and Christmas.
Speaker 11 (19:24):
Right, that's exactly right, Lair. And and you know, it's
one of those things where it's you know, people sort
of talk about, you know, box office. Usually it's about
it's there's three or four major movies every year that
kind of, you know, lift up the box office. It's
so far out we've had, you know, the Minecraft movie
was a huge hit. Thunderbolts surprisingly, I'm was it was
a really big hit. It was a few others, but
(19:45):
but really, you know, Hollywoods were banks on it. It's
like it's like they're it's their big it's their big thing.
It's every summer. They've got to be able to kind
of have something to show for all that all that
all that junk that they put out, and to be honest, uh,
when when the when the summer movies hit, people say, Wow,
what a great summer that was. I don't know if
this summer is going to be that, but I think
there's some some good potential stuff. One of the things
(20:05):
that's sort of shocking is the big one that's coming out, obviously,
is Mission Impossible, the Final Reckoning. Now we assume it's
the Final Reckoning. They say it. You know, I'm sure
there could be some way that Tom Cruise would jump
out of an airplane and they'd be able to film
it and throw it out there as another Mission Impossible movie.
But this one comes out twenty nine years after the
first one he did. I was doing some research that
first Mission Impossible movie came out in nineteen ninety six.
(20:28):
A lot of the kids who are gonna be going
to the movie theater weren't even born then, probably not
even you know, ten years away from being born. So hopefully,
you know, it'll live up to the great stunt standards
of all the other movies in this series. And that
is something that that is true, Like all those all
those stunts and all these Mission Impossible movies have been great,
so that one's coming out from Memorial Day. Then you've
got a couple of other things that I think are
(20:48):
going to be you know, a lot of them are
reboots or sequels, but they're still exciting. Twenty eight years
Later is the latest in that zombie series that also
came out like in the early two thousand and twenty
eight days later. Then you've got Karate Kid Legends, which
is gonna bring Ralph Macho and Jackie Chan together. There's
gonna be a new film called f One, not a
(21:09):
sequel and not a reboot to anything. And it starts
Brad Pitt and he's like this down in his race
car driver who gets another chance on the track. That
looks kind of good. The big, the Big Fourth of
July movie is gonna be another sequel, but it's Jurassic
World rebirth. Same kind of idea. I wish they'd do
something new with these dinos. This is the same kind
of thing. Humans go to a dinosaur island and you know,
(21:30):
guess guess what bad stuff happens? You don't go to
the island where there's dinosaurs. Ow right, Well, she knows
this all Like seven movies in if they say go
to the Dinosaur Island. Don't go the opposite way. There's
a new Fantastic four movie comes around, which I feel
like every generation gets there, gets their Fantastic Four movie.
This one's called Fantastic Fourth first steps. Marvel's gonna try
(21:53):
and bring in the you know, that first family of
superheroes that they had back in nineteen sixty two into
the fold. We'll see if they can do it. There's
a reboot The Naked Gun, which is a great series
of the It was a sixth episode TV show that
became a series of films with Leslie Nielsen. This time
Liam Neeson plays the Goofy cop and then Superman. They're
(22:13):
reintroducing Superman as they again like they do every ten
years or so. I've got hopes for this one. It's
directed by James Gunn, who did the Guardians of the
Galaxy movies, and we'll see if it kind of lives
up to it's not going to live up to my
favorite superhero movie of all time, which is that first
Superman movie that Christopher Reeve did in seventy eight, which obviously,
you know, everybody remembers as a landmark come not a
(22:36):
summer movie though Superman back in seventy eight. It was
a Christmas movie, but it was magical.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I agree with you that was the best Superman movie.
It was just absolutely captivating. And I think a lot
of it's because of the actors, not just because it
was Superman. It was really well acted.
Speaker 11 (22:54):
That's right. And it also had it had a sense
of innocence and Americana to it, you know, thens of
them in small Villa or even before he ever puts
on the red and blue suit, like there's sort of
a set. There's an epic quality to that first movie
that I think is really hard to capture. But that
was also like that was before Hollywood kind of even
kind of knew what a summer movie was. Jaws and
seventy five, as we always know, kicks off the blockbuster era.
(23:18):
But even like even Star Wars, like that Summer of
seventy seven was sort of like Star Wars, The Spy
Who Loved Me and Smoking in the Bandit like that
was sort of it. Hollywood was still remembering, Oh, right,
kids in summertime have things to do. I guess back
in the seventies, said I was the seventies kid. You
went out and you played and you know, you ran
around the wart. Yeah, uh, you didn't.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Just right right, right right, you know, right back. Just
I want to talk about Superman for one more second,
because you tapped into something that I believe is true.
They didn't try to do too much with it. They
it was there was an innocence about it. It was
like it was like the cartoon or the comic book
you read as a kid. And I think that's what
(23:56):
power was. All these movies now try to do way
too much, and sometimes that gets the story gets lost
or the characters get lost in the story.
Speaker 11 (24:06):
I totally agree. And we were talking like that a
little bit on with Thunderbolts last week. You know that
it's like Thunderbolts, like all the superhero movies and all
these kind of big you know they call them IP,
all these big international you know, probably is that that
they're trying to bring in. Don't really, they don't really
have that same thing. And Superman as a story, I
mean it was part of the story was written by
Mario Puzo, who had written The Godfather. So it has
(24:27):
like a great, you know, a great sort of basis
to it. You had the you know, the comic books
that it really kind of adhere to and it was
about kind of doing good. Lex Luthor was a great villain,
but it was sort of it was about more than
it was more than about like just fist fights or
big explosions or things like that. So, you know, anytime
Superman's on TV and I and this sounds like a
cliche of the story, I will always leave it on.
Superman is Superman too. But Superman the first one is phenomenal.
(24:50):
But once they started to get into the eighties, then
you get the big summer stuff that you know. For
my money, and I've been on record for this for
a long time, the greatest summer for summer movies of
all time is nineteen eighty two. Are you ready for
this amazing list? Larry Rocky three, Poultergeist, Star Trek two,
(25:10):
The Wrath of Khan Et, The Extraterrestrial Conan, The Barbarian
Blade Runner, The Thing, Firefox, Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Tron which is not a good movie, but it's still
fun to watch, night Shift, which is a great comedy,
and even the best Friday the Thirteenth movie, Friday the
Thirteenth three D, which is ridiculous. What I would watch
any of those movies, or all of them right now.
(25:32):
I would just, you know, get a giant vat of
coffee and watch all of them right now. Those are
all amazing movies.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Let me since, since you're a critic, let me tell
you my favorite line ever from a critic. That was
from the late great Dennis Cunningham, who saw Conan the
Barbarian and said about Arnold Schwarzenegger, I'd call him a
great actor, but he's not that good yet. Excuse me,
I blew the line. I'd call him a bad actor,
but he's not that good.
Speaker 11 (25:58):
But he's not that good yet, right, But he's perfect
to go to the Barbarian. You know, he doesn't have
to do much. He just kind of hopes around. Yeah,
that's a great line, and that was a great summer.
I was like fifteen at that summer. What an amazing
summer to be fifteen to be watching all those all
those great films. We'll never have one like that, but
hopefully some of these, you know, will have the kids
who are fifteen now we'll be able to go and say,
(26:19):
oh I just saw Fantasm or oh I just saw Superman.
Chances are they won't have the same experience Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
There's nothing original anymore. So what you saw last summer
you might see this summer. So it's so disappointing but
I can't wait. At the same time, I can't wait
to see it. Joe Neumeyer, a film journalist, wo R
Movie Minute host. Thanks so much, Joe, have a good weekend.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
Thanks Larry, you too,
