Speaker 1 (00:00):
And it's good to be in. Larry actually is off today.
It's Ken Rosano filling in the TV news guy. No
longer TV do well. I do TV news, but in
New Jersey in a different fashion. But it's good to
be filling in at the vicrophone for the wonderful Larry Mente,
who has some car trouble today. You'll be back tomorrow.
The promise he's one hundred percent perfectly good. He's just
upset with the car and I don't blame him, Larry.
I didn't mean to pour that stuff in your gash tank.
(00:21):
I promise seven to ten. WOAR, the Voice of New York.
We'd love to take your calls at eight hundred three
to two one zero seven ten eight hundred three two
one zero seven ten, or you could use the talkback feature.
Go to the iHeartRadio app, go over to WOAR and
on the upper right you'll see a little red microphone.
Click on that. You could leave a up to thirty
(00:43):
second message or a question or comment, whatever you would like.
We'd love to hear from you. And remember, the best
talk back of the day is going to win a
Menti in the Morning T shirt. So we'd love to
hear from his seven to ten wor. We had a
lot going on over the weekend. Of course, we had
problems at Newark Airport once again. Aviation officials had to
order a groundstop yesterday morning, and it was a third
(01:05):
such incident in two weeks. The FAA says that there
had been a telecommunications outage of some sort that impacted
communications and radar at the Philadelphia tray Coon. Tray Con
is the organization of the group of individuals who manage
air traffic control for all of the airspace around Newark.
Now this is part of the New York tri State Airspace,
(01:25):
one of the busiest airspaces on the planet. FAA advisors
are showing the groundstop lasted about forty five minutes and
the report comes, of course after the ninety second long
radar and radio outages it just happened on Friday, and
then the other one that happened on April twenty eighth.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says that he will entirely revamp
the system. He's a New Jersey resident himself a user's
(01:48):
Newark Airport, but he said it's going to take time
for now. The FAA says there are backup systems in place,
you think, just to keep travelers safe, but let's hope
it'll be faster rather than slower. And a part of
Homeland Security released bodycam video from several angle Saturday night
showing a scuffle during the arrest of Newark Mayor Ross Baraka.
That scuffle appears to show Baraka and members of Congress
(02:10):
allegedly resisting arrest. Baraka is also a Democratic gubernatorial candidate.
He's running in the Democrat primary, which, by the way,
I'll be one of the MC's one of the interviewers
on the panel starting this coming Sunday night. It's going
to be on the channel that I do in television
on in New Jersey ONNJ and you could stream that
at ONNJ dot com on Sunday evening for the Democratic primary. Baraka,
(02:34):
by the way, you never heard much of except for
in and around Newark until he decided to run for governor.
Then he can't get out of the news. He's clashed
with federal immigration officials ever since. The privately owned detention
facility where they want to house ice detainees, people who
are going to be deported. This is a privately owned facility,
and he's been very loud against it. However, it should
(02:54):
be noted that facility was used under Obama to house
thousands of illegal migrants for deportation, and Ross Baraka and
the Democrats said nothing. Then then it was used by
Essex County Jail, which is right next door to house
halfway house people people who are about to be integrated
back in society. Not a word was said. The minute
(03:14):
a private organization took over this organization, this jail, I
should say, this halfway kind of jail, and was used
by the Trump administration. That's when, all of a sudden,
the Essex County executive, Joe Devincenzo, who's a friend of mine.
It's like Joe, come on, all of a sudden, he's
now against it. Joe, if you talk to him privately,
says one thing you talked to publicly. I'm sorry, but
(03:35):
he says quite another. He wants to appear buddyuddy with
all his Democrats, and all of a sudden he's in
support of Mayor Ross Baraka and saying that he should
not have been arrested. Well, guess what you know. The
Democrats at the party that say that nobody is above
the law. You break the law, you get arrested. Sorry
about that. That's a federal facility is being used as
a federal facility. And if you want to have oversight
(03:58):
and see inside and make sure, like Ross Baraka does
code violation inspections on the side, right, if you want
to make sure there's no code violations, you can make
a call to the federal government. They will set up
an appointment you come on in. You can't bum rush
a federal facility without being admitted by those people and
taken on a tour. If I want to listen, I'm
(04:19):
a taxpayer. I want to go in a public school
that I pay taxes for. You think I could just
walk on the front door. Hey, I'm a taxpayer. I
want to walk around the school while kids are here. No,
I would be arrested, and Ross got arrested for that reason.
You can't just do that. Well with us on the
phone right now is Ariy Hoffman, who's the associate editor
of The New York Sun, and he has a lot
to talk about. He could talk about that, but he
(04:39):
also wants to talk about legal issues surrounding Qatar. Wanting
to give President Trump a new air force one I
guess it would be called Katar Force one. Ary Hoffman,
good morning.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
To you, Good morning, and I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Good to have you.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
If Larry had had Guitar Force one, you might have these.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Probably then he would have to pay it the gas
every day. I don't think you'd want to do that.
So let's talk about this. I mean, this is a
four hundred million dollars jumbo jets at seven forty seven
eight hundred, which is one of the largest seven forty
sevens ever created. They don't make seven forty sevens anymore,
but this is twenty some odd years newer than the
(05:22):
current Air Force one two jumbo jets that they use.
So is this even legal for President Trump to take
it over? And how long would it take to convert
one of these things to be used by the president?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
And you know, the first thing to say is that
this plane is made by Boeing, And of course Boeing
also had the contract to replace Air Force one and
his years and years behind schedules. So an Air Force
one is in desperate need of a renovation and of
a replacement. So there is a problem here, and there's
a bigger issue with our ability to make things and
(05:56):
you know, build navy ships and build airplanes and all that. So,
you know, there's a way in which this does solve
for one problem. It does though create, you know, more problems. Now,
even if it could be ready tomorrow, there's going to
be real court challenges here. And the place to look
(06:17):
in the Constitution is the emoluments clause. Emoluments is kind
of a weird archaic word, but basically it means that
the president is not supposed to take gifts except by
the approval of Congress. This came up in Trump's first
term around the use of the Trump Hotel and in DC. Ultimately,
(06:38):
the Supreme Court decided not to intervene there. I think
the thinking there is people were paying kind of market
rates right for a hotel. It wasn't really a gift
in that way. It was more kind of just using facility,
using a service. It's hard, though, to get around, you know,
the fact that this looks like a gift, especially because
(06:59):
after President Trump's term it's going to revert to his
presidential library and presumably be available for his use as
a private citizen. Now, this plane that you know we're
hearing can see more than five hundred people. So this
is really flying around in style, you know, with five
hundred of your closest friends.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It only costs like twenty thousand dollars an hour in
fuel to fly too, So it's a bargain. Such a deal, Harry,
I got to ask you though, the I mean, it's
got to cost millions to kind of super fit this
thing with with chaff and and you know, you have
to make this thing ready to be air Force one.
It's not a matter of just the President getting on
(07:41):
any plane and flying right. This has to pass all
the security muster and the communications.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Absolutely and and my understanding is that those contracts are
already in place that different companies have already sort of
agreed and gotten a chance to kind of look at
look at the specifications. Remember it's at hom Beach International
Airport as we speak. Uh, So you're absolutely right to
say that it's going to need state of the art
(08:08):
security uh redesign.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
You know, and there's going to be a question here.
Of course. The president is the trojan horse right from
all the way back, you know, from the Trojan War.
And and you know you don't want some you know,
espionage or you know some Katari spy stowed away, you know,
in the in the room somewhere on the plane. So
this is this is going to require a real thorough vetting.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
But I said to Natalie off the air before, I said,
if I were Trump and I got on that plane,
I'd immediately close the doors to see if there's a
mic somewhere and say, drop the bombs Onktar, drop the
bombs on guitar, and see if there's any reaction from
the Katari government. Just getting God forbid. But also we
have a couple of minutes left here. I just want
to talk about Trump and Habeas Corpus suspension.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Talk about that, yeah, absolutely, Well. We had on Friday
Stephen Miller, who rumor have it might be the next
National Security Advisor after Mike Waltz shuttled over to Turtle
Bay to the UN and saying that the President is
seriously considering suspending Habeas Corpus. Now, I think when a
lot of folks hear that, they say, well, that seems illegal, right,
(09:19):
suspending a right or suspending some kind of legal process.
The truth is that's exactly the language of the Constitution,
and the Constitution does allow for the suspension of habeas corpus. Remember,
habeas corpus is just the ability to appeal your unlawful
detention right. So it literally means present the body, and
(09:40):
it means I'm in prison. I shouldn't be here. I
want to have my voice heard now.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
It literally translates us that you should have the body,
that you should have the body. In Latin, that's the
literal translation from my Latin days. I'm sorry, are you there?
Did I cut you off? What did I do? Look
what I I did to Ariy? I think I cut
off Ariy? Are you still there?
Speaker 5 (10:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
My gosh, all right, I'll see We'll go back to Larry.
Arie rather sorry about that. That was Ary Hoppin, associate
editor of the New York Sun seven ten WR. We'll
see if we can get him back on. Unfortunately, we
just lost communications with him. There. Have you ever gone
down the YouTube rabbit hole? Well, I actually did this weekend.
I found some great stuff that I want to share
with you, if we're going to talk about that next
(10:25):
when we get back seven ten WR. Had a very
good Monday morning too. It's Ken rozanto in for Larry
on your Monday morning. It's going to be a beautiful
day to day by the way, Sunshine, Hi's around eighty.
Definitely get outside and enjoy the fresh air if you can.
You will thank me for it later. So we have
so much going on today, you know. I don't know
if you've ever gone down the YouTube rabbit hole? Have
(10:46):
you done that? Natalie? You click on one thing and
all of a sudden, four hours later you're watching videos
about snails fishing in the Taconic. What it is?
Speaker 6 (10:54):
What is pretty hard thing not to do when you're
on social media of any sort?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, it really, you know. So, I mean one day
I was on I had one of those fire sticks
and ID like, I'm nighty, one of those dad firestick things.
And I had had it in the back of a
new TV because I hadn't hooked up cable yet. When
I moved and I just started going down. I started
looking at food. By the way. I'm a foodie like
Natalie also is into food and cooking. She's a phenomenal cook,
(11:21):
by the way. And I have a website called Thefooddude
dot Us. Thefooddude dot Us there are literally links to
millions of recipes around the world. So I like to
look at other people's food websites. So I typed in
pasta and what popped up on YouTube was a show
called Pasta Grammar, like grammar School, Pasta Grammar. It's this
(11:43):
adorable husband and wife. The husband is from Maine, the
wife is from Calabria, Italy, and they met when he
was over there because his father was on like the
equivalent of Top Chef in Italy. So he went over
to see his dad and his dad was studying Italian
and she was teaching in English, or teaching Italian to
English speakers if you could find follow all this anyway,
(12:05):
the guy ends up falling in love with her. They
get married and they do this pasta show together every week.
It's like another thing about and it's authentic because they
are living in Italy now. They bought a restaurant in Italy.
They are the most adorable, loving couple. No politics at all, nothing,
It's nothing but food, that's all it is. So I
(12:26):
promise you it's called Pasta Grammar. Go on YouTube and
check it out. I'm sure they got millions of hits now,
but they have probably two hundred, two hundred and fifty episodes.
Everything I'm looking at right now, everything from it's his
biggest Italian cheese mistakes and misconceptions, the lost Deep Dish
pizza recipe that is actually made in Italy for Italians.
(12:49):
We didn't, you know, you don't think of deep Dish
is being an authentic Italian thing. You think of it
as Chicago. But apparently there is a part of Italy
where it's it's from and that's how it made its
way to Chicago. How to make lasagna like an Italian
northern versus Southern. That'll be very controversial because the North
and in the South they cook very differently, and they's fascinating.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
We must have been in the same mindset this weekend
because last night I watched the Netflix show a movie
called Nana's which I don't know if you've heard about.
This is based on the Staten Island restaurant where grandmother's
Italian grandmothers are cooking dinner for people. I mean, for
real life, this happened, and it's a movie based on
the story.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
A crazy cast.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Okay, so it's Vince Vaughan, Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Broco.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I mean, I'm like, what am I watching here?
Speaker 6 (13:37):
And you know it's very touching. I'll have to say
parts of it, I've kind of felt like I was
watching a Hallmark movie. But then I'm like, this is
no Hallmark movie. Look at these actors that are in this.
But the story is just lovely, very very touching.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I had to do a piece on that for Channel
seven about four or five years ago, and I met
Sanona's For those who don't know, you go to the
State n Island restaurant. It's in the northern part of
Staten Island. There are women from their their real grandmas,
from all different backgrounds, not just Italian it right, right,
They're all different ethnicities and they literally they're in their
eighties and nineties, but they go in there in an
(14:14):
open kitchen and they're like making pastas and kougoul and whatever.
There's one who is from Israel who makes google and
it's and it's all by handy. You could watch them
and they will cook your actual meal in this place.
They take different nights, different nunnas, right.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Different countries, different non as.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Wonderful and you know the story why that happened. The
owner of the restaurant lost his grandmother and was pining
from the laws so much that he wanted to embrace
Grandma's and that's how he brought them in. Yes, I
just love that you got That.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Movie just landed on Netflix this week.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
So awesome. Nana's all right. We got a couple of
talkbacks who want to bring on. There was a person
who called talking about other airports and the challenges that
we've been having in New York. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
This is ed from New Jersey.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
I've been a technician for over forty years, and I
can tell you that the upgrades to know it can
be done quite easily and can be done in less
than four years.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
We've done these upgrades.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
I've done them anyway with the team, with medical systems,
with government systems, with the banking system. So they just
need to have the right people take over.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
We could use him, right, that's it. Well, we could
use him definitely with the federal government anyway. We'd love
to hear what you have to say. Ka always use
the talkback feature at the iHeartRadio app. Go to war
and click on the red microphone. Well, it is now
time twenty nine. It is time for Larry Kowski and
for Jackal and Carl with the nine thirty News. Good morning,
Larry Well, Good morning, Ken.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
We have sixty five degrees under bright sunny skies at
nine thirty. Negotiators for NJ Transit and the union representing
its locomotive engineers are in Washington today where a federal
mediator will try to help resolve their long standing contract dispute.
The engineers could strike as soon as Friday, bringing NJ
Transit rail service to a halt. Delays and cancelations mounting
(16:05):
once again at Newark Airport, where a telecommunications failure resulted
in a forty five minute ground stop yesterday. The latest
numbers from flight aware dot com show sixty two outbound
flights either the later canceled, and sixty six inbound flights. Tenafly,
New Jersey eagerly awaiting the release of Eton Alexander, the
last remaining hostage held by Hamas in Gaza. Amas said
(16:28):
Sunday that it was releasing Alexander to help reach a
ceasefire agreement. Alexander graduated Tenafly High School in twenty twenty two,
after which he joined the Israeli Defense Force. And there's
the opening bill on Wall Street. The stock market charging
out of the starting gate on word that China and
the US agreed over the weekend to slash their reciprocal
(16:49):
tariffs for ninety days down industrial starting with a gate
of one thousand, forty seven points, the S and P
five hundred up one hundred and seventy and the NASDAC
up seven hundred and eighty two. Ken, a good dame
to check that four to oh one k.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
What do you think, Oh heck, it's going to be
a four h two k by the time all a sudden.
That's a good thing. We appreciate that, Larry, definitely. It
is now nine thirty and we had the opportunity to
speak with Cardinal Dolan earlier this morning about what it
was like in the conclave to select the new pope.
We're gonna revisit that interview coming up next. And a
very good Monday morning to you. It is so good
(17:21):
to be here. Larry had a little car issue this morning,
so it's a pleasure to be pinch hitting for him.
Ken Rozotto in in a big old studio that is
in my basement, transmitting remotely today, but it's good to
be part of the show. It's going to be beautiful
day to day. Sunshine HIGs around eighty degrees, so get
out definitely and enjoy this incredible weather. Hey, earlier we
got to speak with Cardinal Dolan in Rome about how
(17:44):
the new Pope is doing. You're Eminence, It's so good
to have you on and I know you're in one
of my favorite places on the planet. You've had a
busy couple of weeks. By the way, if you haven't
gone to breakfast yet, you know, I mean, I know
it's afternoon. There. There's a place called Cafe della Comari,
which I h recommend.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Well, you know there's another one here Ken called Home Baked,
which has American breakfasts which aren't bad, and I've learned
to find it. I can get some pancakes, eggs, bacon,
not bad at all, not as good as New York diners.
But anyway, I miss you, guys. I'm homesick. I've been here.
Now it'll tomorrow it'll be three weeks since I departed
(18:24):
from my beloved New York City for Rome for the
funeral of Pope Francis, and then of course to stay
for the preparations and then the conclave and of art
now already beloved Pope Leo the fourteenth, and I decided
ken the formal they call it the Mass of inauguration.
I mean the minute, he says at the Sistine Chapel
(18:45):
at Chepto, after he's after the ballots have been counted
and shown to be in his favor, The Cardinal Dean
says to him, You've just been nominated as Supreme Pontiff
of the Roman Catholic Church. Do you respond? And the
minute he says that cepto, he becomes the successor of Peter,
the Bishop of Rome, our holy father of the pope.
(19:07):
So he's officially been pope since said, But the formal
Mass of inauguration will come this coming Sunday in Saint
Peter's Square at ten in the morning. Tough for you
guys to cover, but I thought i'd better stay for that.
It'll be an honor to pray with and for him.
I want to show him all the support and enthusiasm
that I can. So I'm going to stick around and
(19:27):
then come back a week from today. Is that all right?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
That works? Cardinal will have to ask you just between us,
nobody else is listening as you and me. Okay, you
obviously got to cast one of the votes.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
INDI, did you vote for Leo, listen that I know
your ratings, and it probably is between you up for
you and me.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Honestly, I have to, for real, I have to ask
you for a serious question when you want you're obviously
you've been through several of these now as cardinal. Does
it still send chills down your spine?
Speaker 4 (20:03):
When you bet it does, Ken, I've only been through one.
I was there twenty thirteen after the surprising resignation of
Pope Benedict. The conclave that elected hore Bogolio the arch
Chishop of Baitis a Pope Francis, So there's only my
second one. But you're right. I was kind of looked
upon now as a senior because I'd say eighty five
(20:25):
percent of the cardinals and the conclave were rookies. So yeah,
but you are correct. It still does not fail to
I mean the whole thing, Ken, just walking into the
Sistine Chapel, being there in prayer and doing the votes,
and when he went over the required eighty seven to
(20:47):
win that we just all burst into tears when he
said that, chep Tho. The tears continued when he went
in by what name will you be chosen? Is there?
Will you be called was the next question. When he responded, Lee,
we were all kind of surprised or wasn't one of
the names one would have thought of, but it makes
eminent sense. Again, the tears continued. He goes into the
(21:09):
corner room to change into the white robes. They bring
out the chair that the Holy Father in which he sits,
which had been empty. We use that Latin term sade
vicante empty chair at the death of a poem. They
put it in the center in front of the altar.
And then he comes out of what they call the
(21:29):
room of tears. He comes out clad as the new
Roman pontiff, and we cried again, and no, you know,
we were all of a sudden reduced to kind of
kind of like kids on Christmas morning. And it does
not fail. And then I tell you, ken, you watched it,
you guys reported it, well, uh it. Then, of course,
(21:52):
when we then process out to get to the square,
we're there when we hear the cardinal deacon tell the crowd,
how Amus Popham, we have a pope, which sends up
this this towering eruption of applause and exuberants, and then
of course the minute he walks out, it goes on
and on and we're just again, We're like kids opening
(22:14):
Christmas present. It was an exhilarating experience.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Well, I'm we got about ten seconds left that I
have to ask one quick question here he is. He
has shown I think that he is as centrist as
centrist can be, because he has he has uh of
course coming out with with the mozetta, when he came
to the balcony, to the loggia, and when he's when
he prayed in Latin, when he prayed in Italian. He
(22:39):
just he seems to be reaching out to everybody, and
I think I haven't heard a negative word from a
lot of people, even laps Catholics. You're falling in love
with this man.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Let's let's hope that could last. And I think you're
onto something. Ken. He is you know, he use the
word a temperate.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
A moderate.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
He's just kind of a measured, shy, simple, humble, thoughtful
sense of listening. Tella, we've all fallen in love with him.
Obviously we would have or he wouldn't have gone out
on the balcony. But I think you're on target, Dick.
Yet he's winner.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Well, our fingers crossed and our prayers for him and
for you. We want you back safe and sound asap.
Will be looking for the installation Mass and God bless you.
God bless the College of Cardinals, and of course God
bless you you all. I'm a lifelong Catholic. I will
keep praying for him. You bet your awn all right.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Thanks to all the hometown crowd. I miss you and
I highly appreciate all the assurances of prayer and support.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Thanks you're Eminent's Timothy Cardinal Dolan live from Rome. Thanks
for being on seven to ten WOR. That was exciting.
I feel bad for our Larry Mente, who was supposed
to interview the cardinal today. He was all set to
interview him and I got the pinch ship. But thank
you for the honor of doing that. I used to
be a priest one hundred years ago for real, and
so it's always exciting to be able to interview somebody
(23:54):
in the church of that authority and the idea that
the Cardinal Dolan who you just heard was one of
the people who cast the ballots. He cast one of
the at least seventy eight that got Pope Leo elected
to the pope with the Holy Spirit's influence.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
He could have been one a person who actually got votes.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
I mean he may have had seven votes. Yeah, I
five votes in exactly. So it's pretty amazing place to
be in. When he said that, they were, you.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
Know, there at the sixteen Chapel in prayer if anybody
who's ever been there, and I did have the opportunity,
which is just absolutely amazing. But I was there with
about a thousand people squished into one little small because
it's not a big room.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
No at all. Rectangle. Yeah, at a rectangle, that's all.
But to think of being in there.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
With just about one hundred people, it has to be
absolutely incredible.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
And when you walk in there. And by the way,
when if you head to Europe and you intend on
on visiting the Vatican, you want to take a tour,
you have to tour that. It's hard to get in
because of security. You have to wait on the long line.
Sometimes it's two three hours to get there is early
as possible, but once you get into the Sistine chapelain.
My group was the last admitted that morning. For whatever reason,
I think it was the beginning of COVID. That's why
(25:09):
we were the last ones in. They wanted to limit
the people in there, and you literally just get chills.
You can feel the spirit in there, and it's such
a beautiful feeling to think of the history in that
place that even though the Vatican as it stands has
only been around for you know, the fourteenth, fourteenth century,
fifteenth century, et cetera, you had prior to that, you
(25:31):
had pre Vaticans, smaller Vaticans that stood there. So there
has always been going back to the time of Peter
in this about eighty seventy eighty eighty, there's always been
a temple there of some sort too, in honor of Christianity,
but it only became what is now the Vatican between
the fourteenth and the seventeenth centuries. That's when that was
built the way it is now. But it's amazing to
(25:52):
see and you definitely need to check it out at
some point. It is absolutely beautiful and we hope for
this pope. We hope the best and hope that every
everything works out. When we come back, we will have
a recap of today's show and my final thoughts. Here's
Larry Minty with some final thoughts. Well, Larry has the
day off today. I had in card trouble This is
Ken Rosano sitting in for Larry. They good to be
(26:14):
here on this beautiful Monday sunshine today with highs around
eighty degrees. In our final thoughts today, something that we
just we heard Larry Kovski do in the news a
little while ago, and he's in for Jackal and Carl
today talking about how the Dow Jones industrial average has
surged up over a thousand points at the open in
light of a US China trade agreement. And we knew
this was going to happen. I mean, this is the
(26:36):
mother of all trade agreements is going to be between
the US and China, and the hope is that this
may go beyond what is currently going to be a
ninety day halt in the giant tariffs that were imposed
on China. But remember China was the one who started it.
They had enormous tariffs on many of our industries going
to China, so it was almost impossible for US to
(26:57):
sell American goods in China. But yet their stuff was
come in for pennies on the dollar. And on top
of that, they were stealing all of our technology, making
it cheap there and selling it to us really really cheap,
so that made it very difficult for our own companies
to survive. That's why this whole trade war began. But
I just love the naysayers and the wall streets so
called experts and analysts who insisted the president doesn't know
(27:18):
what he's doing. He's doing this is I'm sort of
channeling Rush Limbau, the late Great right now. These people
don't know what talking about, how the President was just
off the rails and this wasn't going to work. Well,
guess what. It's only been like a month since since
the big announcement of the tariffs, and we went from
a stable high market to the tanks. It went really
(27:39):
down and we're basically back to where the market was
a month ago. So you know, but the difference is,
right now you have countries lined up willing to talk.
So can somebody who is a so called financial expert
maybe acknowledge that Trump might be wiser than us, that
maybe there's something going on in that brain of his
that's a lot different from the rest of us. We know,
he's not like the typical guy, the typical New Yorker.
(28:02):
There's something in that brain that knows how to make
people move that you and I can't get you tell
your kid get up off the couch and take out
the garbage. He doesn't or she doesn't. Trump says, tell
you what, outside, there's a pile of gold. And the
kid goes up and runs out and goes there's no
pile of gold. But yet they go. Maybe he knows
how to motivate people in a way that we don't.
(28:24):
So you have to give him at least credit for that.
So this rally comes again for those who are just
tuning in, this is a rally on the stock market,
a thousand points up at the open. This is after
the United States and China agreed to temporarily slash tariffs
following negotiations over the weekend in Switzerland. Treasury Secretary Scott
Bessant says that both countries have agreed to cut reciprocal
(28:47):
tariffs by one hundred and fifteen percent for a ninety
day period. And believe me, if this thing works out,
you watch, both countries will make it permanent. This brings
UF tariffs on Chinese goods down to thirty percent and
Chinese tariffs on US imports to ten percent. All right,
now we're in the ballpark. Ten percent, thirty percent, before
it was entirely on one side and none on the other,
(29:09):
So it's kind of exciting we see where this is
go keep our fingers crossed. Hey, coming up next, Mark
Simone welcomes New York Post journalist Michael Goodwin, one of
my absolute favorite interviews when he does him twice a week.
Love to listen to him and CNBC contributed to Jake Novak,
also one of my faves. Truthfully and Plus, listen for
the keyword after the ten am news, then head to
(29:30):
seven to ten WR dot com for your chance at
one thousand dollars. Now we have a recap of today's show.
Award winning columnist Mike Kelly explained just how big the
dangers of Newark Airports technical issues are.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
What's also sad about this, or tragic or outrageous is
the fact that Newark Airport is located in a very
crowded spot on the planet. You've got very dense housing
in towns all around it. If a plane crashes, the
people on that plane are not going to be the
only ones who die. There's going to be a lot
(30:03):
of people on the ground who are going to.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Be in danger.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
And WR National correspondent Rory O'Neil asked a couple of
important questions regarding the plane that Qatar is gifted to
Donald Trump. Is this a violation of the laws?
Speaker 10 (30:17):
The other question, you know, the Constitution has the Emolument's
Clause which specifically prohibits gifts from foreign governments to US
presidents unless Congress approves of the gift. And there's also
the question of why.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
And we also have, of course, the big issue of
whether we are impressed with the other potential options for Well,
listen to this, the newly named Utah Mamma. There are
all sorts of questions about who, what the name would
be take a lesson.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
They had the name Outlaws, which by the way, came
in first, the hockey club, which came in second.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
And wait a minute, the hockey club. That was as
creative as they can get.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
The hockey club, well that's what they were known as.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Imagine being named the hockey club. That's your name, hockey.
What do you put on the jersey one the jersey
the hockey club. Maybe they could spell it right. Well,
thank you for those awesome talkbacks too that we had.
Here's somebody, by the way, who wanted to talk about
Elon Musk.
Speaker 11 (31:24):
Hi, This is Ireen from Staten Island passing along some info.
Have you heard Elon Musk has granted the rights to
build a small town for his SpaceX employees. Starbase will
be a part of Boca Chica Beach, just for SpaceX employees.
He's taking care of his own.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
That's fascinating. And today's Talk Back in the Morning, by
the way, was an easy pick today. Anybody who thinks
they could solve the issues at Newark Airport deserves a
Minty in the Morning t shirt. So thank you to
a guy named Edwin who says I can solve this
problem in like twenty minutes. She's give me a couple
of minutes. Coming up tomorrow morning on Menty in the Morning,
WR White House correspondent John Decker is going to be
in with Rich Lowry from National Review. You can talk
(32:05):
about Trump's trip to the Middle East, plus former New
York City Council Minority leader Joe Burrelli and New York
Post entertainment columnist John Oleksinski and more Beach Boys tickets
to give away at eight twenty five. Larry will be
back tomorrow morning. Thanks for letting me sit in and
spend this Monday morning with you. This is Ken Rozato.
Have a wonderful day now the ten o'clock News
And it's good to be in. Larry actually is off today.
It's Ken Rosano filling in the TV news guy. No
longer TV do well. I do TV news, but in
New Jersey in a different fashion. But it's good to
be filling in at the vicrophone for the wonderful Larry Mente,
who has some car trouble today. You'll be back tomorrow.
The promise he's one hundred percent perfectly good. He's just
upset with the car and I don't blame him, Larry.
I didn't mean to pour that stuff in your gash tank.
(00:21):
I promise seven to ten. WOAR, the Voice of New York.
We'd love to take your calls at eight hundred three
to two one zero seven ten eight hundred three two
one zero seven ten, or you could use the talkback feature.
Go to the iHeartRadio app, go over to WOAR and
on the upper right you'll see a little red microphone.
Click on that. You could leave a up to thirty
(00:43):
second message or a question or comment, whatever you would like.
We'd love to hear from you. And remember, the best
talk back of the day is going to win a
Menti in the Morning T shirt. So we'd love to
hear from his seven to ten wor. We had a
lot going on over the weekend. Of course, we had
problems at Newark Airport once again. Aviation officials had to
order a groundstop yesterday morning, and it was a third
(01:05):
such incident in two weeks. The FAA says that there
had been a telecommunications outage of some sort that impacted
communications and radar at the Philadelphia tray Coon. Tray Con
is the organization of the group of individuals who manage
air traffic control for all of the airspace around Newark.
Now this is part of the New York tri State Airspace,
(01:25):
one of the busiest airspaces on the planet. FAA advisors
are showing the groundstop lasted about forty five minutes and
the report comes, of course after the ninety second long
radar and radio outages it just happened on Friday, and
then the other one that happened on April twenty eighth.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says that he will entirely revamp
the system. He's a New Jersey resident himself a user's
(01:48):
Newark Airport, but he said it's going to take time
for now. The FAA says there are backup systems in place,
you think, just to keep travelers safe, but let's hope
it'll be faster rather than slower. And a part of
Homeland Security released bodycam video from several angle Saturday night
showing a scuffle during the arrest of Newark Mayor Ross Baraka.
That scuffle appears to show Baraka and members of Congress
(02:10):
allegedly resisting arrest. Baraka is also a Democratic gubernatorial candidate.
He's running in the Democrat primary, which, by the way,
I'll be one of the MC's one of the interviewers
on the panel starting this coming Sunday night. It's going
to be on the channel that I do in television
on in New Jersey ONNJ and you could stream that
at ONNJ dot com on Sunday evening for the Democratic primary. Baraka,
(02:34):
by the way, you never heard much of except for
in and around Newark until he decided to run for governor.
Then he can't get out of the news. He's clashed
with federal immigration officials ever since. The privately owned detention
facility where they want to house ice detainees, people who
are going to be deported. This is a privately owned facility,
and he's been very loud against it. However, it should
(02:54):
be noted that facility was used under Obama to house
thousands of illegal migrants for deportation, and Ross Baraka and
the Democrats said nothing. Then then it was used by
Essex County Jail, which is right next door to house
halfway house people people who are about to be integrated
back in society. Not a word was said. The minute
(03:14):
a private organization took over this organization, this jail, I
should say, this halfway kind of jail, and was used
by the Trump administration. That's when, all of a sudden,
the Essex County executive, Joe Devincenzo, who's a friend of mine.
It's like Joe, come on, all of a sudden, he's
now against it. Joe, if you talk to him privately,
says one thing you talked to publicly. I'm sorry, but
(03:35):
he says quite another. He wants to appear buddyuddy with
all his Democrats, and all of a sudden he's in
support of Mayor Ross Baraka and saying that he should
not have been arrested. Well, guess what you know. The
Democrats at the party that say that nobody is above
the law. You break the law, you get arrested. Sorry
about that. That's a federal facility is being used as
a federal facility. And if you want to have oversight
(03:58):
and see inside and make sure, like Ross Baraka does
code violation inspections on the side, right, if you want
to make sure there's no code violations, you can make
a call to the federal government. They will set up
an appointment you come on in. You can't bum rush
a federal facility without being admitted by those people and
taken on a tour. If I want to listen, I'm
(04:19):
a taxpayer. I want to go in a public school
that I pay taxes for. You think I could just
walk on the front door. Hey, I'm a taxpayer. I
want to walk around the school while kids are here. No,
I would be arrested, and Ross got arrested for that reason.
You can't just do that. Well with us on the
phone right now is Ariy Hoffman, who's the associate editor
of The New York Sun, and he has a lot
to talk about. He could talk about that, but he
(04:39):
also wants to talk about legal issues surrounding Qatar. Wanting
to give President Trump a new air force one I
guess it would be called Katar Force one. Ary Hoffman,
good morning.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
To you, Good morning, and I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Good to have you.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
If Larry had had Guitar Force one, you might have these.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Probably then he would have to pay it the gas
every day. I don't think you'd want to do that.
So let's talk about this. I mean, this is a
four hundred million dollars jumbo jets at seven forty seven
eight hundred, which is one of the largest seven forty
sevens ever created. They don't make seven forty sevens anymore,
but this is twenty some odd years newer than the
(05:22):
current Air Force one two jumbo jets that they use.
So is this even legal for President Trump to take
it over? And how long would it take to convert
one of these things to be used by the president?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
And you know, the first thing to say is that
this plane is made by Boeing, And of course Boeing
also had the contract to replace Air Force one and
his years and years behind schedules. So an Air Force
one is in desperate need of a renovation and of
a replacement. So there is a problem here, and there's
a bigger issue with our ability to make things and
(05:56):
you know, build navy ships and build airplanes and all that. So,
you know, there's a way in which this does solve
for one problem. It does though create, you know, more problems. Now,
even if it could be ready tomorrow, there's going to
be real court challenges here. And the place to look
(06:17):
in the Constitution is the emoluments clause. Emoluments is kind
of a weird archaic word, but basically it means that
the president is not supposed to take gifts except by
the approval of Congress. This came up in Trump's first
term around the use of the Trump Hotel and in DC. Ultimately,
(06:38):
the Supreme Court decided not to intervene there. I think
the thinking there is people were paying kind of market
rates right for a hotel. It wasn't really a gift
in that way. It was more kind of just using facility,
using a service. It's hard, though, to get around, you know,
the fact that this looks like a gift, especially because
(06:59):
after President Trump's term it's going to revert to his
presidential library and presumably be available for his use as
a private citizen. Now, this plane that you know we're
hearing can see more than five hundred people. So this
is really flying around in style, you know, with five
hundred of your closest friends.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It only costs like twenty thousand dollars an hour in
fuel to fly too, So it's a bargain. Such a deal, Harry,
I got to ask you though, the I mean, it's
got to cost millions to kind of super fit this
thing with with chaff and and you know, you have
to make this thing ready to be air Force one.
It's not a matter of just the President getting on
(07:41):
any plane and flying right. This has to pass all
the security muster and the communications.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Absolutely and and my understanding is that those contracts are
already in place that different companies have already sort of
agreed and gotten a chance to kind of look at
look at the specifications. Remember it's at hom Beach International
Airport as we speak. Uh, So you're absolutely right to
say that it's going to need state of the art
(08:08):
security uh redesign.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
You know, and there's going to be a question here.
Of course. The president is the trojan horse right from
all the way back, you know, from the Trojan War.
And and you know you don't want some you know,
espionage or you know some Katari spy stowed away, you know,
in the in the room somewhere on the plane. So
this is this is going to require a real thorough vetting.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
But I said to Natalie off the air before, I said,
if I were Trump and I got on that plane,
I'd immediately close the doors to see if there's a
mic somewhere and say, drop the bombs Onktar, drop the
bombs on guitar, and see if there's any reaction from
the Katari government. Just getting God forbid. But also we
have a couple of minutes left here. I just want
to talk about Trump and Habeas Corpus suspension.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Talk about that, yeah, absolutely, Well. We had on Friday
Stephen Miller, who rumor have it might be the next
National Security Advisor after Mike Waltz shuttled over to Turtle
Bay to the UN and saying that the President is
seriously considering suspending Habeas Corpus. Now, I think when a
lot of folks hear that, they say, well, that seems illegal, right,
(09:19):
suspending a right or suspending some kind of legal process.
The truth is that's exactly the language of the Constitution,
and the Constitution does allow for the suspension of habeas corpus. Remember,
habeas corpus is just the ability to appeal your unlawful
detention right. So it literally means present the body, and
(09:40):
it means I'm in prison. I shouldn't be here. I
want to have my voice heard now.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
It literally translates us that you should have the body,
that you should have the body. In Latin, that's the
literal translation from my Latin days. I'm sorry, are you there?
Did I cut you off? What did I do? Look
what I I did to Ariy? I think I cut
off Ariy? Are you still there?
Speaker 5 (10:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
My gosh, all right, I'll see We'll go back to Larry.
Arie rather sorry about that. That was Ary Hoppin, associate
editor of the New York Sun seven ten WR. We'll
see if we can get him back on. Unfortunately, we
just lost communications with him. There. Have you ever gone
down the YouTube rabbit hole? Well, I actually did this weekend.
I found some great stuff that I want to share
with you, if we're going to talk about that next
(10:25):
when we get back seven ten WR. Had a very
good Monday morning too. It's Ken rozanto in for Larry
on your Monday morning. It's going to be a beautiful
day to day by the way, Sunshine, Hi's around eighty.
Definitely get outside and enjoy the fresh air if you can.
You will thank me for it later. So we have
so much going on today, you know. I don't know
if you've ever gone down the YouTube rabbit hole? Have
(10:46):
you done that? Natalie? You click on one thing and
all of a sudden, four hours later you're watching videos
about snails fishing in the Taconic. What it is?
Speaker 6 (10:54):
What is pretty hard thing not to do when you're
on social media of any sort?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, it really, you know. So, I mean one day
I was on I had one of those fire sticks
and ID like, I'm nighty, one of those dad firestick things.
And I had had it in the back of a
new TV because I hadn't hooked up cable yet. When
I moved and I just started going down. I started
looking at food. By the way. I'm a foodie like
Natalie also is into food and cooking. She's a phenomenal cook,
(11:21):
by the way. And I have a website called Thefooddude
dot Us. Thefooddude dot Us there are literally links to
millions of recipes around the world. So I like to
look at other people's food websites. So I typed in
pasta and what popped up on YouTube was a show
called Pasta Grammar, like grammar School, Pasta Grammar. It's this
(11:43):
adorable husband and wife. The husband is from Maine, the
wife is from Calabria, Italy, and they met when he
was over there because his father was on like the
equivalent of Top Chef in Italy. So he went over
to see his dad and his dad was studying Italian
and she was teaching in English, or teaching Italian to
English speakers if you could find follow all this anyway,
(12:05):
the guy ends up falling in love with her. They
get married and they do this pasta show together every week.
It's like another thing about and it's authentic because they
are living in Italy now. They bought a restaurant in Italy.
They are the most adorable, loving couple. No politics at all, nothing,
It's nothing but food, that's all it is. So I
(12:26):
promise you it's called Pasta Grammar. Go on YouTube and
check it out. I'm sure they got millions of hits now,
but they have probably two hundred, two hundred and fifty episodes.
Everything I'm looking at right now, everything from it's his
biggest Italian cheese mistakes and misconceptions, the lost Deep Dish
pizza recipe that is actually made in Italy for Italians.
(12:49):
We didn't, you know, you don't think of deep Dish
is being an authentic Italian thing. You think of it
as Chicago. But apparently there is a part of Italy
where it's it's from and that's how it made its
way to Chicago. How to make lasagna like an Italian
northern versus Southern. That'll be very controversial because the North
and in the South they cook very differently, and they's fascinating.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
We must have been in the same mindset this weekend
because last night I watched the Netflix show a movie
called Nana's which I don't know if you've heard about.
This is based on the Staten Island restaurant where grandmother's
Italian grandmothers are cooking dinner for people. I mean, for
real life, this happened, and it's a movie based on
the story.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
A crazy cast.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Okay, so it's Vince Vaughan, Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Broco.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I mean, I'm like, what am I watching here?
Speaker 6 (13:37):
And you know it's very touching. I'll have to say
parts of it, I've kind of felt like I was
watching a Hallmark movie. But then I'm like, this is
no Hallmark movie. Look at these actors that are in this.
But the story is just lovely, very very touching.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I had to do a piece on that for Channel
seven about four or five years ago, and I met
Sanona's For those who don't know, you go to the
State n Island restaurant. It's in the northern part of
Staten Island. There are women from their their real grandmas,
from all different backgrounds, not just Italian it right, right,
They're all different ethnicities and they literally they're in their
eighties and nineties, but they go in there in an
(14:14):
open kitchen and they're like making pastas and kougoul and whatever.
There's one who is from Israel who makes google and
it's and it's all by handy. You could watch them
and they will cook your actual meal in this place.
They take different nights, different nunnas, right.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Different countries, different non as.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Wonderful and you know the story why that happened. The
owner of the restaurant lost his grandmother and was pining
from the laws so much that he wanted to embrace
Grandma's and that's how he brought them in. Yes, I
just love that you got That.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Movie just landed on Netflix this week.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
So awesome. Nana's all right. We got a couple of
talkbacks who want to bring on. There was a person
who called talking about other airports and the challenges that
we've been having in New York. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
This is ed from New Jersey.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
I've been a technician for over forty years, and I
can tell you that the upgrades to know it can
be done quite easily and can be done in less
than four years.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
We've done these upgrades.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
I've done them anyway with the team, with medical systems,
with government systems, with the banking system. So they just
need to have the right people take over.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
We could use him, right, that's it. Well, we could
use him definitely with the federal government anyway. We'd love
to hear what you have to say. Ka always use
the talkback feature at the iHeartRadio app. Go to war
and click on the red microphone. Well, it is now
time twenty nine. It is time for Larry Kowski and
for Jackal and Carl with the nine thirty News. Good morning,
Larry Well, Good morning, Ken.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
We have sixty five degrees under bright sunny skies at
nine thirty. Negotiators for NJ Transit and the union representing
its locomotive engineers are in Washington today where a federal
mediator will try to help resolve their long standing contract dispute.
The engineers could strike as soon as Friday, bringing NJ
Transit rail service to a halt. Delays and cancelations mounting
(16:05):
once again at Newark Airport, where a telecommunications failure resulted
in a forty five minute ground stop yesterday. The latest
numbers from flight aware dot com show sixty two outbound
flights either the later canceled, and sixty six inbound flights. Tenafly,
New Jersey eagerly awaiting the release of Eton Alexander, the
last remaining hostage held by Hamas in Gaza. Amas said
(16:28):
Sunday that it was releasing Alexander to help reach a
ceasefire agreement. Alexander graduated Tenafly High School in twenty twenty two,
after which he joined the Israeli Defense Force. And there's
the opening bill on Wall Street. The stock market charging
out of the starting gate on word that China and
the US agreed over the weekend to slash their reciprocal
(16:49):
tariffs for ninety days down industrial starting with a gate
of one thousand, forty seven points, the S and P
five hundred up one hundred and seventy and the NASDAC
up seven hundred and eighty two. Ken, a good dame
to check that four to oh one k.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
What do you think, Oh heck, it's going to be
a four h two k by the time all a sudden.
That's a good thing. We appreciate that, Larry, definitely. It
is now nine thirty and we had the opportunity to
speak with Cardinal Dolan earlier this morning about what it
was like in the conclave to select the new pope.
We're gonna revisit that interview coming up next. And a
very good Monday morning to you. It is so good
(17:21):
to be here. Larry had a little car issue this morning,
so it's a pleasure to be pinch hitting for him.
Ken Rozotto in in a big old studio that is
in my basement, transmitting remotely today, but it's good to
be part of the show. It's going to be beautiful
day to day. Sunshine HIGs around eighty degrees, so get
out definitely and enjoy this incredible weather. Hey, earlier we
got to speak with Cardinal Dolan in Rome about how
(17:44):
the new Pope is doing. You're Eminence, It's so good
to have you on and I know you're in one
of my favorite places on the planet. You've had a
busy couple of weeks. By the way, if you haven't
gone to breakfast yet, you know, I mean, I know
it's afternoon. There. There's a place called Cafe della Comari,
which I h recommend.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Well, you know there's another one here Ken called Home Baked,
which has American breakfasts which aren't bad, and I've learned
to find it. I can get some pancakes, eggs, bacon,
not bad at all, not as good as New York diners.
But anyway, I miss you, guys. I'm homesick. I've been here.
Now it'll tomorrow it'll be three weeks since I departed
(18:24):
from my beloved New York City for Rome for the
funeral of Pope Francis, and then of course to stay
for the preparations and then the conclave and of art
now already beloved Pope Leo the fourteenth, and I decided
ken the formal they call it the Mass of inauguration.
I mean the minute, he says at the Sistine Chapel
(18:45):
at Chepto, after he's after the ballots have been counted
and shown to be in his favor, The Cardinal Dean
says to him, You've just been nominated as Supreme Pontiff
of the Roman Catholic Church. Do you respond? And the
minute he says that cepto, he becomes the successor of Peter,
the Bishop of Rome, our holy father of the pope.
(19:07):
So he's officially been pope since said, But the formal
Mass of inauguration will come this coming Sunday in Saint
Peter's Square at ten in the morning. Tough for you
guys to cover, but I thought i'd better stay for that.
It'll be an honor to pray with and for him.
I want to show him all the support and enthusiasm
that I can. So I'm going to stick around and
(19:27):
then come back a week from today. Is that all right?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
That works? Cardinal will have to ask you just between us,
nobody else is listening as you and me. Okay, you
obviously got to cast one of the votes.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
INDI, did you vote for Leo, listen that I know
your ratings, and it probably is between you up for
you and me.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Honestly, I have to, for real, I have to ask
you for a serious question when you want you're obviously
you've been through several of these now as cardinal. Does
it still send chills down your spine?
Speaker 4 (20:03):
When you bet it does, Ken, I've only been through one.
I was there twenty thirteen after the surprising resignation of
Pope Benedict. The conclave that elected hore Bogolio the arch
Chishop of Baitis a Pope Francis, So there's only my
second one. But you're right. I was kind of looked
upon now as a senior because I'd say eighty five
(20:25):
percent of the cardinals and the conclave were rookies. So yeah,
but you are correct. It still does not fail to
I mean the whole thing, Ken, just walking into the
Sistine Chapel, being there in prayer and doing the votes,
and when he went over the required eighty seven to
(20:47):
win that we just all burst into tears when he
said that, chep Tho. The tears continued when he went
in by what name will you be chosen? Is there?
Will you be called was the next question. When he responded, Lee,
we were all kind of surprised or wasn't one of
the names one would have thought of, but it makes
eminent sense. Again, the tears continued. He goes into the
(21:09):
corner room to change into the white robes. They bring
out the chair that the Holy Father in which he sits,
which had been empty. We use that Latin term sade
vicante empty chair at the death of a poem. They
put it in the center in front of the altar.
And then he comes out of what they call the
(21:29):
room of tears. He comes out clad as the new
Roman pontiff, and we cried again, and no, you know,
we were all of a sudden reduced to kind of
kind of like kids on Christmas morning. And it does
not fail. And then I tell you, ken, you watched it,
you guys reported it, well, uh it. Then, of course,
(21:52):
when we then process out to get to the square,
we're there when we hear the cardinal deacon tell the crowd,
how Amus Popham, we have a pope, which sends up
this this towering eruption of applause and exuberants, and then
of course the minute he walks out, it goes on
and on and we're just again, We're like kids opening
(22:14):
Christmas present. It was an exhilarating experience.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Well, I'm we got about ten seconds left that I
have to ask one quick question here he is. He
has shown I think that he is as centrist as
centrist can be, because he has he has uh of
course coming out with with the mozetta, when he came
to the balcony, to the loggia, and when he's when
he prayed in Latin, when he prayed in Italian. He
(22:39):
just he seems to be reaching out to everybody, and
I think I haven't heard a negative word from a
lot of people, even laps Catholics. You're falling in love
with this man.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Let's let's hope that could last. And I think you're
onto something. Ken. He is you know, he use the
word a temperate.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
A moderate.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
He's just kind of a measured, shy, simple, humble, thoughtful
sense of listening. Tella, we've all fallen in love with him.
Obviously we would have or he wouldn't have gone out
on the balcony. But I think you're on target, Dick.
Yet he's winner.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Well, our fingers crossed and our prayers for him and
for you. We want you back safe and sound asap.
Will be looking for the installation Mass and God bless you.
God bless the College of Cardinals, and of course God
bless you you all. I'm a lifelong Catholic. I will
keep praying for him. You bet your awn all right.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Thanks to all the hometown crowd. I miss you and
I highly appreciate all the assurances of prayer and support.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Thanks you're Eminent's Timothy Cardinal Dolan live from Rome. Thanks
for being on seven to ten WOR. That was exciting.
I feel bad for our Larry Mente, who was supposed
to interview the cardinal today. He was all set to
interview him and I got the pinch ship. But thank
you for the honor of doing that. I used to
be a priest one hundred years ago for real, and
so it's always exciting to be able to interview somebody
(23:54):
in the church of that authority and the idea that
the Cardinal Dolan who you just heard was one of
the people who cast the ballots. He cast one of
the at least seventy eight that got Pope Leo elected
to the pope with the Holy Spirit's influence.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
He could have been one a person who actually got votes.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
I mean he may have had seven votes. Yeah, I
five votes in exactly. So it's pretty amazing place to
be in. When he said that, they were, you.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
Know, there at the sixteen Chapel in prayer if anybody
who's ever been there, and I did have the opportunity,
which is just absolutely amazing. But I was there with
about a thousand people squished into one little small because
it's not a big room.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
No at all. Rectangle. Yeah, at a rectangle, that's all.
But to think of being in there.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
With just about one hundred people, it has to be
absolutely incredible.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
And when you walk in there. And by the way,
when if you head to Europe and you intend on
on visiting the Vatican, you want to take a tour,
you have to tour that. It's hard to get in
because of security. You have to wait on the long line.
Sometimes it's two three hours to get there is early
as possible, but once you get into the Sistine chapelain.
My group was the last admitted that morning. For whatever reason,
I think it was the beginning of COVID. That's why
(25:09):
we were the last ones in. They wanted to limit
the people in there, and you literally just get chills.
You can feel the spirit in there, and it's such
a beautiful feeling to think of the history in that
place that even though the Vatican as it stands has
only been around for you know, the fourteenth, fourteenth century,
fifteenth century, et cetera, you had prior to that, you
(25:31):
had pre Vaticans, smaller Vaticans that stood there. So there
has always been going back to the time of Peter
in this about eighty seventy eighty eighty, there's always been
a temple there of some sort too, in honor of Christianity,
but it only became what is now the Vatican between
the fourteenth and the seventeenth centuries. That's when that was
built the way it is now. But it's amazing to
(25:52):
see and you definitely need to check it out at
some point. It is absolutely beautiful and we hope for
this pope. We hope the best and hope that every
everything works out. When we come back, we will have
a recap of today's show and my final thoughts. Here's
Larry Minty with some final thoughts. Well, Larry has the
day off today. I had in card trouble This is
Ken Rosano sitting in for Larry. They good to be
(26:14):
here on this beautiful Monday sunshine today with highs around
eighty degrees. In our final thoughts today, something that we
just we heard Larry Kovski do in the news a
little while ago, and he's in for Jackal and Carl
today talking about how the Dow Jones industrial average has
surged up over a thousand points at the open in
light of a US China trade agreement. And we knew
this was going to happen. I mean, this is the
(26:36):
mother of all trade agreements is going to be between
the US and China, and the hope is that this
may go beyond what is currently going to be a
ninety day halt in the giant tariffs that were imposed
on China. But remember China was the one who started it.
They had enormous tariffs on many of our industries going
to China, so it was almost impossible for US to
(26:57):
sell American goods in China. But yet their stuff was
come in for pennies on the dollar. And on top
of that, they were stealing all of our technology, making
it cheap there and selling it to us really really cheap,
so that made it very difficult for our own companies
to survive. That's why this whole trade war began. But
I just love the naysayers and the wall streets so
called experts and analysts who insisted the president doesn't know
(27:18):
what he's doing. He's doing this is I'm sort of
channeling Rush Limbau, the late Great right now. These people
don't know what talking about, how the President was just
off the rails and this wasn't going to work. Well,
guess what. It's only been like a month since since
the big announcement of the tariffs, and we went from
a stable high market to the tanks. It went really
(27:39):
down and we're basically back to where the market was
a month ago. So you know, but the difference is,
right now you have countries lined up willing to talk.
So can somebody who is a so called financial expert
maybe acknowledge that Trump might be wiser than us, that
maybe there's something going on in that brain of his
that's a lot different from the rest of us. We know,
he's not like the typical guy, the typical New Yorker.
(28:02):
There's something in that brain that knows how to make
people move that you and I can't get you tell
your kid get up off the couch and take out
the garbage. He doesn't or she doesn't. Trump says, tell
you what, outside, there's a pile of gold. And the
kid goes up and runs out and goes there's no
pile of gold. But yet they go. Maybe he knows
how to motivate people in a way that we don't.
(28:24):
So you have to give him at least credit for that.
So this rally comes again for those who are just
tuning in, this is a rally on the stock market,
a thousand points up at the open. This is after
the United States and China agreed to temporarily slash tariffs
following negotiations over the weekend in Switzerland. Treasury Secretary Scott
Bessant says that both countries have agreed to cut reciprocal
(28:47):
tariffs by one hundred and fifteen percent for a ninety
day period. And believe me, if this thing works out,
you watch, both countries will make it permanent. This brings
UF tariffs on Chinese goods down to thirty percent and
Chinese tariffs on US imports to ten percent. All right,
now we're in the ballpark. Ten percent, thirty percent, before
it was entirely on one side and none on the other,
(29:09):
So it's kind of exciting we see where this is
go keep our fingers crossed. Hey, coming up next, Mark
Simone welcomes New York Post journalist Michael Goodwin, one of
my absolute favorite interviews when he does him twice a week.
Love to listen to him and CNBC contributed to Jake Novak,
also one of my faves. Truthfully and Plus, listen for
the keyword after the ten am news, then head to
(29:30):
seven to ten WR dot com for your chance at
one thousand dollars. Now we have a recap of today's show.
Award winning columnist Mike Kelly explained just how big the
dangers of Newark Airports technical issues are.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
What's also sad about this, or tragic or outrageous is
the fact that Newark Airport is located in a very
crowded spot on the planet. You've got very dense housing
in towns all around it. If a plane crashes, the
people on that plane are not going to be the
only ones who die. There's going to be a lot
(30:03):
of people on the ground who are going to.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Be in danger.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
And WR National correspondent Rory O'Neil asked a couple of
important questions regarding the plane that Qatar is gifted to
Donald Trump. Is this a violation of the laws?
Speaker 10 (30:17):
The other question, you know, the Constitution has the Emolument's
Clause which specifically prohibits gifts from foreign governments to US
presidents unless Congress approves of the gift. And there's also
the question of why.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
And we also have, of course, the big issue of
whether we are impressed with the other potential options for Well,
listen to this, the newly named Utah Mamma. There are
all sorts of questions about who, what the name would
be take a lesson.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
They had the name Outlaws, which by the way, came
in first, the hockey club, which came in second.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
And wait a minute, the hockey club. That was as
creative as they can get.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
The hockey club, well that's what they were known as.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Imagine being named the hockey club. That's your name, hockey.
What do you put on the jersey one the jersey
the hockey club. Maybe they could spell it right. Well,
thank you for those awesome talkbacks too that we had.
Here's somebody, by the way, who wanted to talk about
Elon Musk.
Speaker 11 (31:24):
Hi, This is Ireen from Staten Island passing along some info.
Have you heard Elon Musk has granted the rights to
build a small town for his SpaceX employees. Starbase will
be a part of Boca Chica Beach, just for SpaceX employees.
He's taking care of his own.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
That's fascinating. And today's Talk Back in the Morning, by
the way, was an easy pick today. Anybody who thinks
they could solve the issues at Newark Airport deserves a
Minty in the Morning t shirt. So thank you to
a guy named Edwin who says I can solve this
problem in like twenty minutes. She's give me a couple
of minutes. Coming up tomorrow morning on Menty in the Morning,
WR White House correspondent John Decker is going to be
in with Rich Lowry from National Review. You can talk
(32:05):
about Trump's trip to the Middle East, plus former New
York City Council Minority leader Joe Burrelli and New York
Post entertainment columnist John Oleksinski and more Beach Boys tickets
to give away at eight twenty five. Larry will be
back tomorrow morning. Thanks for letting me sit in and
spend this Monday morning with you. This is Ken Rozato.
