Speaker 1 (00:00):
Another New York morning is calling Minty in the Morning
is on sevent tenor in for Larry today is Ken
rosetto and so nice to be with you at six
oh five on your Friday. We've made it. Thank the
good Lord above for that. It is Friday, April the eleventh,
(00:21):
Am I right? The eleven? I think it's the eleven,
twenty twenty five of this is Minty in the Morning.
Our friend Larry's off again. I'm Ken Rosotto. You may
remember me from being on TV news in New York
for decades. Gosh, that makes me old. I was on
Channel seven, Channel five, Channel ten and fifty five. You
may also hear me filling in from time to time
for mister New York Mark Simone when he's off. And
(00:42):
these days I host a TV show on a New
Jersey streaming channel called on New Jersey that's really starting
to take off. Check it out if you want. You
could stream it from anywhere in America, in fact, at
ONNJ dot com on New Jersey. And I also have
a website that we're going to be talking about today. Yes,
Natalie and I will be talking food, so you want
to be here for that. The website is called thefood
(01:05):
Dude dot Us and apparently a lot of you have
checked it out. I took a look at these statistics
and I saw hundreds of new unique views coming apparently
from this from the radio station from WOR So thanks
for checking it out again. It's Thefooddude dot Us and
I have links to literally millions of recipes around the world.
It's one hundred percent free. This isn't a money making gimmick.
(01:27):
Well someday maybe. Right now it's not, though, So go
check it out. And we have we're going to be talking.
Can I tell them what we're going to talk about later? Sure?
So one of my favorite foods in the world is
spana copita. I'm not Greek, I'm Italian, but I am
in love with Spana copita. And so Natalie and I
are going to compare spanacopita recipes, so so thrilling, so thrilling.
(01:50):
But what you're also going to do is you're going
to tell people how to make the perfect egg. Yes,
because that seems simple, and it never is. No, it's
always the same splest things. Julia Child used to say
she judged a great restaurant by how they can make
a roast chicken, simply something as simple as that. Really,
Oh you need it's salt and pepper. But anyway, the
phone lines are open. We'd love to hear from you
(02:11):
at one eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten,
one eight hundred three to two to one zero seven ten,
or you could use the iHeart Radio talkback feature. Open
your iHeartRadio app, go to woor radio, look for the
little red microphone on the upper right. Tap on that,
follow the instructions leave a message or opine on things
we are talking about. We want to hear what you
have to say. Well, of course, our big stories today,
(02:35):
the Big Three this morning. First you here Herd Jacquelin
Carl talk about this just a moment ago, that horrible
helicopter crash in the Hudson River yesterday. Oh sunny, you
look up to the sky, it's just slowly falling apart,
and then you see the tail though, and you just
see a flip propeller still in the sky. Horrible. A
Spanish family of five, including the president of the Spanish
(02:56):
branch of the Seamens Technology Corporation, augostein Escobar, his wife
and three children, were killed when the helicopter they were
on appeared to split into pieces at one thousand feet
and tumbled into the waters of the Hudson River near
Jersey City. It sounded like an engine just dying, and
I just said, it was like doo doo, do doo doo,
and I just turned, I looked, and I saw the
(03:17):
helicopter crashing, splash into the water with the pilot. There
were a total of six people on board. Two of
the six originally may have survived the crash. That's not
yet confirmed. We do have later confirmation that once they
were taken to the hospital they were confirmed deceased. The
family took photos just moments before they got onto that helicopter.
(03:40):
They appeared so excited to be taking the trip. The
chopper flew sixteen minutes before going down. We have the
helicopter in the water, multiple five helicopters overhead, at least
four marine units of berries ducting such operations for victims
from the helicopter. It becurs I have at least one
victory removed on FDNY boats and we'll be talking to
(04:01):
some experts about this. Aviation experts. We have our race
stagic talking about weather conditions. While the NTSB is on
the scene today, and this does bring up questions about
the many helicopters flying over New York at any time
of the day and the extent of their required maintenance.
Does the humid environment of the river and the brackish
(04:21):
water have anything to do with maintenance. Tails are not
supposed to snap off of helicopters mid air, and you
don't want people to be unsure about getting onto a helicopter.
And as bad as this crash was, think about how
much worse it could have been if God forbid it
crashed even just one hundred feet further inland onto an
occupied building six nine seven ten WR. And this is
(04:44):
Ken Rozotto in for Larry on a Friday next. A
federal judge yesterday allowed the Trump administration to move forward
with a requirement that everyone in the US illegally must
register with the federal government and carry documentation that's key.
Judge Trevor McNeil Neil McFadden rather sided with the administration,
(05:07):
which had argued that officials were simply enforcing a requirement
that already existed for everyone who is in the country
but is not an American citizen. The deadline to register
for those who've already been in the country for thirty
days or more. Is right now as of twelve oh
one am this morning, and moving forward, the registration requirement
will be enforced period. Anybody who's pulled aside and asked
(05:32):
for ID, if they suspect that you are not here legally, etc.
If you don't have ID, you could be arrested. By
the way, there are over one hundred allied nations that
require all foreign visitors to carry ID at all times,
and they too can arrest you. This has always been
the case if you're stopped for whatever reason and ask
to produce your ID. Technically, like in France, if they
(05:54):
stop you and you don't have your passport, if say,
for instance, you haven't locked in the hotel safe, you
have to tell them in the hotels safe present some
kind of ID. France requires you to have something from
the government in the United States like a driver's license
on your person at all times, but they will require
your passport because how else would you've gotten here. They
will go with you back to your hotel if they
(06:15):
need to to get the passport. So understand that it's
not just a US or a Trump thing. This is
pretty much international. It's just that everybody is sort of
let it go by. But they're just enforcing law now,
one hundred allied nations requiring this. So, Homeland Security Secretary
Christinenoums said, quote President Trump and I have a clear
(06:36):
message for those in our country illegally leave now. If
you leave now, you may have the opportunity to return
and enjoy our freedom and live the American dream. Then
she went on, quote the Trump administration will enforce all
our immigration laws. We will not pick and choose which
laws we will enforce. We must know who is in
our country for the safety and security of our homeland
(06:58):
and all Americans. But that's not good enough of the left.
Immigration organizations that should really be called illegal immigration organizations,
because that's for the most part, whom they're helping, say
the government's enforcement of this law will lead to widespread abuse.
Widespread abuse. What by enforcing an eighty five year old
law that's been enforced again and again and again during
(07:19):
lots of Democrat administrations with no complaints from the left.
Widespread abuse as if illegally crossing into our country isn't
an abuse of our immigration laws and getting billions in
freebies on the backs of hard working US taxpayers, Like,
that's not an abuse of our immigration laws. No, it
seems only abuse when Orange man bad does anything that
(07:39):
the Left objects to, which is pretty much everything. So
be warned. Homeland Security officials announced way back on February
twenty fifth this was coming that all people in the
United States illegally must register with the federal government, and
said those who did not self deport or self report
could face fines or prosecution. It's just that now a
(07:59):
judge has enforced this and said, yes, anyone who's objecting
pound dirt because this is law. Failure to register is
considered a crime, and people will be required to carry
registration documents with them or risk prison time and fines.
People registering have to provide their fingerprints and address, and
parents and guardians of miners anyone under fourteen, actually under
(08:21):
fourteen must ensure that their kids are registered as well. Now,
before you left this LIBS screen discrimination resatta, Oh, this
is all discrimination. The registration process also applies to Canadians
who are in the US for more than thirty days.
Now I live in Florida part time. There are tens
of thousands of snowbirds in Canada. They used to come
down for three and four months at a time, no issue,
(08:43):
but technically they now must report themselves as well and
where they're going to be. Otherwise, if they're here more
than thirty days, they could get in trouble as well.
So Florida and Arizona very common for snowbirds to come
down and spend the entire winter season. And this is
nothing new. Federal immigration law has long required the people
who are not American citizens and live in the US,
(09:04):
whether here legally or illegally, register with the government. This
goes back to the Alien Registration Act of nineteen forty.
So now it's up to those here illegally register and
give your address to the Feds, thus risking a future
knock at your door, or choose to keep quiet, not register,
and then take the chance. If you are stopped and
it is discovered that you didn't register, you will be
(09:27):
subject to arrest. So that's the chance you must take.
Oh on the left, well, you have yourselves to blame.
You're the ones who order the borders to be wide open.
You invited the world in telling border patrol just stand
there and watch and help change the diapers of babies,
ordering them to do nothing other than that, and when
twenty million people stream in illegally, you yell at the
(09:47):
Trump administration for trying to do something about it, which
is why they got elected, by the way, by a
majority of the people. Now you can just sit and
be quiet. Stop trying to use lawfare tactics to slow
down the process. This is a price problem of the
left's making, and the Trump administration was specifically voted in
to remedy it. But I don't have an opinion on
this at all. We'd love to hear what you have
(10:07):
to say about it again, use our talkback feature. Go
to the iHeartRadio app, go to WOOR radio and then
click on the microphone and let us know what you
feel about it next. An op ed in the New
York Post says Governor Hochel and our uber leftist state
lawmakers are secretly moving to hike taxes once again, hitting
large companies in and around the city via the so
(10:28):
called payroll Mobility tax. The goal is to raise two
billion more for the bottomless pit that is the MTA
budget hole. Much of the tax would come from the
pockets of average New Yorkers, though, with companies raising prices
and holding down workers' wages in order to cover the
new two billion dollar costs. They don't just pull it
out of thin air. Folks. When you hear good tax
goos companies, those companies pass it on to you. And
(10:50):
the governor is keeping this all hush hush on purpose,
so nobody makes a stink about it. That way, state
lawmakers can rush the tax through and you won't hear
about it until it's a done deal. Why because the
gov Knows that people are sick of hearing the MTA
is forever in debt. This two billion dollar tax sike
would be on top of the one billion a year
that Hochel hopes to get from your pockets through congestion pricing.
(11:11):
How bad are things at the MTA? Their budget is
sixty eight billion dollars and their whole is half of that.
So there you have it. Six sixteen Is there time
brace yourselves for some soggy stormy weather today? Plus? How
will this affect the NTSB crash investigation in the Hudson
