Speaker 1 (00:00):
I gotta tell you, it's a beautiful sunrise. I would
like to hope that when they started building this Wood
Radio studio, they did it at this time of the
day and somebody said, what a perfect spot for whomever
will be in this room to see the sunrise every day.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
White smoke billowed from the chimney atop the Sistine Chapel
before Cardinal Robert Prevost emerged from the Vatican as Pope
Francis successor. Reaction yesterday, I think it's a starting for America.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I went to Leonova so happy about it.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Actually, it's the first American pope in history. So I
was saying to a friend in the office, of all
the crazy things we've seen over the past few years
of the first like the pandemic in nine to eleven,
at least this is a happy surprise this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Rory O'Neil at the Vatican again will join us in
one hour to talk more about what we've learned about
the first American to ascend.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
To the papacy in history.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yesterday a jury said it could not reach a verdict.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
That you're unable to reach a verdict as a panel, okay,
And so what I'm going to do is declare a mistrial.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Jury deliberated about twenty one hours before. That happened yesterday
in the deadlock case of Christopher Sure and the death
Patrick Leoya. This morning at seven thirty six, Professor Lewis
Langham will join us once again to answer the question
what happens next? And yesterday a trade deal between the
(01:50):
USA and UK.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
This is not just a headline deal.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
This is thousands and thousands of products that are going
to unleash five million dollars of our ability, our farmers,
our business people.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
We can now sell to the UK that we've never
been able to do before. That is Secretary of Commerce
Howard Lutnik. Will have Morewoodradio dot Com.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Also trending this morning, of course, the world continuing to
react to the election of the first American pope, but
now because he's an American pope, the media has a
little bit of unprecedented access to his siblings. His brother John,
still living in a suburb of Chicago, had these words
to say about what he thinks his brother is going
(02:33):
to do as pope.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
A regular run of the mill person. I think because
he was trained in missionary work in South America for
so many years, he will be looking out for the disenfranchised.
He will be looking out for the poor. He will
be looking out for those that don't have a voice.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Yeah, so I'm pretty excited about this pope. I texted
Steve yesterday. I did not have an American pope on
my BINGO card, but it's very exciting to have an
American born pope.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Listen, I'm the Pope.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I call my siblings before I walk out on the
balcony at the Basilica and say, hey, listen, guys, press
are going to start showing up on your door.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Enough well in being the sports guy. If I'm Pope
Leo coming back to America. Ever, I better be getting
front rower suitet tickets for sports. And he's got a
great tie that is cool that the sports world is
loving when the announcement came down yesterday. So he grew
up on the south side of Chicago. Wrigleyfield already put
up on their digital board that he's a Cubs fan.
Oh no, he's not. He's a White Sox fan. Just
(03:32):
to ask his brother as he did an interview, they
grew up there. If you're on the South side, that's
a big thing. You're a White Sox fan usually not
a Cubs fan. The other tie is he graduated back
in the late seventies from the University of Villanova, and
so he's got a tie in there. And you know
who's loving that the Knicks fans right now, because they've
got three of the stars of that national championship team
(03:53):
playing for them. They're up two to zero after winning
those games in Boston. So maybe a little divine intervention.
This could be the year the Knicks. Courtesy of Pope Leo.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I got a brother in Chicago, and I got one
in Florida. I call the Florida brother to stop doing
interviews first.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
That's just me. Those are just some of the stories
we are following for you.
