Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know, it shouldn't be a shocker, but it is.
In the Big Three, Pope Francis has died on Easter Monday,
after wishing the faithful a happy Easter from the balcony
of Saint Peter's Basilica yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Fatelli Bona Pascua.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Sitting in a wheelchair and sounding frail and weak. The
Pope has been fighting pneumonia. Pope Francis was eighty eight
years old. Natalie Migluri right now is at Saint Patrick's
Cathedral talking with the faithful. We'll have her coming up
in just a few minutes, and ABC's Jim Ryan will
be with us at seven o eight to remember the
(00:43):
life and legacy of Pope Francis. In other news, Democratic
Senator Chris van Holland is feeling some heat after going
to El Salvador to try and free a deported MS
thirteen gang member, and he admits when he met with
Kilmar Abrago Garcia, how could you not bring it up?
(01:04):
He never even brought it up.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
You didn't ask him.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I didn't ask him that because I know what his
answer is. What he told me was he was sad
and traumatized that he was being in prison because he
has committed no crimes.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
It was an incredible interview. We'll play more of it
coming up, But it was the fact that he wouldn't
answer a question about him. It sounds like it was
a love meeting between the two of them because he
didn't ask him one significant question. Mayor Adams does an
interview on Fox News to explain why he left the
(01:42):
Democratic Party. I think it's just common sense. You know,
what does every day New Yorkers want? And you know,
I use the terminology all the time. People say, well,
you know you left the Democratic Party. You know the
party left me. Sianna has another poll out by the
way showing Andrew Cuomo way out in front and some
of the other cat that's for to be exactly are
teaming up to take down Andrew Cuomo. Alexandria Ocasio Cortes
(02:07):
is under fire for neglecting her congressional district in the
Bronx as she tours the country with Bernie Sanders. It's
just horrible.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Human trafficking is at an all time high in our area,
and it's almost as if the politicians in the area
are trying to make it legal and make it a
regular thing. We're trying to stop this at all costs.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And should today, Easter Monday be a holiday.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
No.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
I don't view this as a Republican thing or a
Democrat thing. This is a very American thing, honoring a
holiday that's celebrated by eighty one percent of Americans, and
I just think it would give people an opportunity as
there if they're traveling to spend time with loved ones
and celebrate Eastern.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
There's a bill in the Senate right now that would
make today, the day after Easter a holiday starting next year,
and you would think that movement gets a little bit
of fuel considering what happened today with Pope Francis. I
want to read to you, but you must have heard
the news by now that Pope Francis and I just
(03:10):
did it in the Big Three a second ago. Pope
Francis is dead at the age of eighty eight. I
want to read the statement put out by the Vatican
this morning. It was nine forty five in Italy, so
it was nine forty five in the morning there, and
they're a little bit behind us. Cardinal Kevin Farrell read
(03:32):
this from Cassas Santa Marta, where Pope Francis died. He wrote,
dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow, I must bounce
the death of our holy father Francis. At seven thirty
five this morning, the Bishop of Rome. Francis returned to
the house of his father. His entire life was dedicated
(03:55):
to the service of the Lord and out of his church.
He taught us to live the values of the Gospel
with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of
the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his
example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we
commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful
(04:19):
love of the One and True God. So today is
the day that Pope Francis died. We're all going to
remember him as a pope who came into office and
really changed everything, especially after Pope Benedict. He was a progressive,
he was a reformer. He clashed with the conservatives at
(04:41):
the Vatican constantly. They did not like that he told
priests all around the world to make certain that they
bless and give communion to gay Americans and gays around
the world. He addressed and came up with new edicts.
(05:02):
He was the first pope to really address the church
scandal and came up with rules for priests around the world.
He was different even when he first walked into office,
well even when he first was elevated to pope and
took the office. He was so different than the past
(05:24):
popes because he grew up in poverty in Argentina. There
was no designer shoes, there was no pomp and circumstance.
This pope absolutely was a man of the people. And
I hope that they choose the next pope at the
conclave thinking of Pope Francis, because if you think about it,
(05:49):
the pope is supposed to carry on the work of Jesus.
He is supposed to be Jesus on earth, to live
the same type of life. And for popes in the past,
it was pomp and pageantry. There was a lot of
riches that came with being the pope. This pope rejected
(06:11):
at all, and I hope they think about that when
they picked their next pope. This pope grew up in
poverty on the streets of Argentina. Hack He was a
bouncer for a while in a bar before being elevated
up to where he is right now, I'm looking at
(06:33):
some of its as we're talking. I'm now looking at
some of the things he did throughout his life. And
it was absolutely, really amazing that this man became pope.
He was the first pope in the Southern hemisphere. He
is the first pope from the Americas. He was the
first and if you're Catholic, you're going to understand what
(06:53):
this means. He was the first Jesuit pope. There was
so many things that were different about this pope, but
the most stark difference about this Pope is that he
wasn't as conservative as the Catholic Church had become. He
wasn't as stringent as the Catholic Church has become. You
(07:15):
saw it, remember the Pope mobile where they had the
Pope protected because of an assassination attempt. He got into
office and said, get rid of that. There will be
no more of that. He wanted it opened aired. And
if he was going to be someone he felt like
he was protected by God. He said that, But but
if somebody was going to kill him. As he was
(07:36):
driving through town, he said, so be it. I needed
to be with the people. I needed them to be
able to see and touch me. What is truly amazing
about him dying is that one of the last meetings
he took, maybe the last meeting he took, was with
(07:57):
the American Vice President JD. Vance and feeling great, but
it's good to see you and get health right. There
wasn't a lot to it. It was only about a
minute meeting. The escorted JD. Vans and his wife in
the Pope didn't look well. He was sitting in a wheelchair,
barely spoke during the meeting. Others spoke for him. So
(08:19):
after a minute JD. Van said goodbye, thank you very
much for your visit, of course, of course, and thank
you for seeing me. That was him being excused, did
you hear that? Like after a minute, it was thank
you very much for your visit. Now you can leave,
and JD. Vans understood and moved out of there. I
want to play for you a couple of messages from
(08:40):
Pope Francis over the last couple of weeks, because they're
important now. He really took in children. He was really
concerned about children in the world. He was concerned about poverty,
and he thought countries didn't do enough to pull children
out of poverty. He grew up in poverty himself.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Acious opportunity for all of us to listen to her
hopes and concerns. We are also challenged to reflect on
how well we are testmitting our values to the next generation,
and on the kind of war and society we are
(09:24):
preparing to handle on to them.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
He called helping children of pilgrimage of hope for the future.
He was the shame of it is there was language barriers,
but he was just a wonderful, wonderful speaker. And of
course after the funeral, it's not going to happen right away,
but all the cardinals are going to be going to
the Vatican depict the next pope.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
They fly in from all over the world. They pray.
There's a space between the time that the pope dies
and they actually start the conclave, and then they're locked
behind the closed doors until they can reach a two
thirds majority.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Right, we all saw the movie, right, and the white
smoke and the black smoke telling you if they have
picked the next pope.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
This is the most important thing that they do. So
many cardinals are bishops and archbishops and are on dioceses.
But once you become a cardinal, your main role is
not only to advise the pope but to elect the
next one.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
So obviously we're going to be talking about this throughout
the day. How are New Yorkers feeling this morning after
hearing the news of Pope Francis's passing. W r's Natalie
Migliore is at Saint Patrick's Cathedral right now speaking with
the faithful. We'll talk to her next.
Speaker 9 (10:36):
Service and a seamless luxury car buying experience, whether you're
searching for a new or certified pre owned outing or
need expert service from their highly true.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Well, we're all waking up to the news that Pope
Francis has died at the age of eighty eight. I'm
certain that it's Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan. There is
going to be a crowd throughout the day, people showing
up to pray. People show up up just because that's
where you go. Where you go when you're a Catholic
(11:06):
and something turns is bad, or when the pope dies,
you go to your local church. You go to your
local cathedral. You're hoping there's a mess, and you pray,
and you light some candles and you pray for the
soul of Pope Francis, although I'm certain he's going to
be fine. I'm certain he's already in heaven right now
(11:27):
out at Saint Patrick's Cathedral to find out what's going on,
and she'll be out there throughout the morning, is our
own Natalie Migliori. Natalie, what's it like out there right now?
Speaker 10 (11:38):
AERI?
Speaker 11 (11:38):
There are a lot of camera crews out here, Larry,
as sparse mourners stand in front of the cathedral right
here in the smack dad middle of Manhattan. You know, Larry,
the church, the cathedral is not open to the public yet,
so as the door's open, I'm sure people will come
(11:58):
and droves, whether like you said, to pray for the
Pope and his soul or to just see this iconic
cathedral since it really is a tourist attraction here in Manhattan.
But very sparse prayers throughout the prayers throughout the morning
from people who stop in front of smack dab in
the middle of this giant cathedral, in the middle of
(12:20):
the steps to say a prayer. A lot of reflection
this morning. I'm talking to a lot of people who
have stopped and as they start to walk away, you
know we approach, we let them say their prayers and
their condolences and just talking to them about what they
want in the next leader of the Catholic Church, reflecting
on Pope Francis's life and all of that stuff. So
(12:41):
we'll definitely have more of that as the morning goes on.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Larry, wonderful. Natalie, we will check in with you again again.
That's Natalie Miglioroi out at Saint Patrick's Cathedral. It's too
early in the morning right now, but she did set
the scene. She's not, as she said, the only one
out there. There are lots of television care who's out
there waiting for the faithful to show up in the meantime,
(13:04):
And I would think that there'd be a bigger push
for this. Now there is a call in Congress right
now for this day to become a holiday, and now
with the events of today with Pope Francis dying, I
would think that that push would get a little bit
more momentum. I didn't realize this, but around the world,
(13:28):
Easter Monday is a holiday. It just hasn't been in America.
And New Yorkers think it's a wonderful idea.
Speaker 12 (13:36):
Absolutely, it should be a federal holiday.
Speaker 9 (13:38):
Why not?
Speaker 7 (13:39):
I think a Monday after the Super Bowl, after Easter,
anytime there's a holiday on a Sunday, give everybody Monday off?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yes, because then I can travel to see my family
from school. Right, exactly, of course it should be. And
as I said, around the world this is already a holiday.
Why not here I'm.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
French and we have a national holiday, so it's called
landing the bike and so on.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
On Monday.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
You don't work and you don't go to school.
Speaker 13 (14:07):
I'm from Denmark, so in Denmark we have Thursday, Friday
and Monday off.
Speaker 9 (14:12):
Do you have off that day in Ireland? Yes, we do.
Speaker 14 (14:15):
How do you use that day.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
To recover from the day before? So why don't we
Around the world.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
They have off on Easter Monday. Doesn't it make so
much sense?
Speaker 10 (14:27):
I think we should leave right now.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I'm certain that the resistance that would really go over. Well.
Speaker 12 (14:35):
My daughter has off today. She goes to Seaton Hall University.
They had Thursday, Friday and Monday off. They have their
spring break early and then they have the Holy Days off.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Just like Denmark. I mean around the way.
Speaker 12 (14:48):
In the world, Oh, it is absolutely I mean I
remember traveling in Spain, and it's absolutely as important as Easter.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Well, next year we might have it off because Senator
Eric Schmid has a bill to make Easter Monday a holiday.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
In my view, it shouldn't be that controversial. We hope
to get support on this in a bipartisan way. It's
pro worker, it's pro faith, it's pro America. So I
think this is something that in a world where everything
seems to be controversial, hopefully we can come together and say,
you know what, the Monday after Easter to be a
national holiday. We already have a national day of prayer.
I think this would be a really good thing for
us to do.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Absolutely, don't you think. I mean, I don't think anybody
in the world would be against us. This should goes
through the Senate pretty easily. So next year, what do
you think about that? Next year we might have off nice. Yeah,
isn't that great? Thank goodness for Senator Eric Schmidt. He
has my full and unmitigated support, and so does Jacqueline.
(15:46):
Carlo's time now for the news at six thirty Jacqueline.
Speaker 9 (15:50):
Good morning.
Speaker 10 (15:50):
Pope Francis is dead at the age of eighty eight.
The Vatican announced he passed away earlier today, about a
month after leaving a hospital in Rome where he was
being treated for various respiratory ailments, and a former New
York police officer, Michael McMahon, was sentenced to eighteen months
in prison for acting as an illegal agent for China.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Prosecutors say that Michael McMahon pressured a New Jersey resident
to return to China as part of Operation Fox Hunt.
He was convicted of interstate stocking and acting as an
agent without notifying the US Attorney General. Additionally, he received
an eleven thousand dollars fine for his actions. Now, McMahon
claimed that he believed that he was recovering embezzled funds
(16:33):
for a company and wouldn't have participated had he known
China's involvement. Bill Traferro wr News.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
Now this kind of this is this story makes me
a little said less unless people are moving down South.
According to redfind, major cities like Florida, Texas have been
huge domestic migration in the past, but Sun Belt destinations
like Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Dallas, Orlando, San Antonio, and others
have been seeing substantial slow.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Down population growth.
Speaker 10 (17:01):
Reasons are said to be a rise and cost of living,
natural disasters and the cost of insurance to deal with them,
decreasing abilities to work remotely affecting mobility, competition from more
affordable locales, the overall cost of moving, and uncertainty with
the current economy. So it used to be like so
kind of easy to decide to go where to go
(17:22):
after you retire? Now what do you do, especially if
you can't afford to say where you are? Like to
have either of you thought like, this is where I'm
going to go when I retire. Have you picked a place?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Well, I'm going to head down the Jersey. Sure, I'm
pretty easy, but I have friends in Florida and they're
trying to get out because the insurance rates are insane
right now. They just they skyrocket, It's like three hundred
percent they went up.
Speaker 10 (17:47):
I know things will change, but I find myself asking
everybody where are you? Where would you retire? Where would
you retire? Because it's like it used to be a
pretty easy call. If you wanted to go down south,
then you wanted a lower cost of life living. But
now it's it's really tricky where to go?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, I think the Carolinas are hot, which is where
Joe Bartlett went to that's it seems where everybody went
to Florida is now trying to go to the Carolina.
Speaker 12 (18:10):
Right, and then that won't be affordable either, and we'll
be moving to Iowa.
Speaker 10 (18:14):
So true, no more.
Speaker 12 (18:17):
You know what, maybe that'll be great, a slower pace
of life, so Florida to live, Yeah, but we can't
afford it.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I know when I lived in California, I had two
friends that moved to Wyoming and started a ranch and
I was like, what, why do you want to work more?
Ranches are a little bit difficult.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
How did it work out for them?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
They love it. They just still there. So oh yeah,
they're still there. They absolutely love it. They do they
need a ranch hand when I'd be the worst ranch
hand you could possibly hire. But I'll think about it.
That's a good idea, thanks, Jacqueline Carl. California Governor Gavin
Newsom calls out his own party for rallying around the
(19:02):
deported gangbanger. We'll talk about it next and also, don't
forget you can leave us at talkback all morning long.
Go to seven ten wor on the iHeartRadio app and
just click the microphone and when you're there, put seven
to ten wor on your presets. So Chris Van Holland,
the Senator from Maryland who traveled down to El Salvador
(19:26):
trying to say the kilmar Abrego Garcia, one of the
worst political moves in recent history, was everywhere this weekend.
And I'm sure he didn't appreciate the questions he was asked.
Even at friendly places like CNN, they went after him,
even from his own party. He was taking incoming look.
(19:50):
It was a bad look, and it was a bad move,
and he really wanted to increase his stock in the
Demoocratic Party and it didn't work. It just didn't work.
You can't be on the wrong side of this issue.
I know, I know there's people out there that going, well,
(20:11):
what about his constitutional rights? Well, he has limited constitutional rights.
He's not a citizen, he's never been a citizen. What
about due process? He has limited due process? And especially
if they can use the Alien Enemies Act, which has
to be decided by the Supreme Court, then they can
just send them out of the country when they want to.
So it's a losing battle, but it's a losing battle
(20:33):
for a senator because the one of the number one
issues this last election was getting rid of the millions
and millions of people that came here and are causing
cities and states to have financial problems, and the crime
rate went up. And so I don't know what Chris
(20:56):
van Hollen was thinking. There's a point where you almost
feel bad for him. Well, he did go on Fox
News and admit that we paid for his trip. Who
did pay for this trip?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
This was an officially clear you know, congressional trip. Clear, Yes,
like every other trip.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
This wasn't like every other trip. This is something you
chose to do. And I don't know how this was
official US policy. It was absolutely a political trip. So
the fact that we paid for his trip, which seems
to be a campaign trip, is even more insulting to
America and to US. And then he went to CNN.
(21:41):
Now I'm sure he thought, I'm on safeground. Now I
have Dana Bash. I'm sure she's gonna be kind to me.
And then Dana Bash was kinder than they were in
Fox News. But when you don't answer a question, any
journalist is going to follow up.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Can you say with absolute certainty that he is not
nor has he ever been a member of the MS
thirteen gang And did you ask him point blank.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Well, Dan, what Donald Trump is trying to do here
is change the subject. The subject at hand is that
he wait.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
A second, No, he's trying to change the subject. He
didn't answer the question.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Can you say with absolute certainty that he is not,
nor has he ever been a member of the MS
thirteen gang? And did you ask him point blank?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Well, what Donald Trump is trying to do here is
change the subject. The subject at hand is that he
and his administration are define a court order to people
to give a Brago Garcia his due process rights.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Now he went on from there. He just started talking.
He just threw words together and never answered the question.
And I'll give Dana bash a lot of credit. She
followed up.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
You didn't ask him.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
I didn't ask him that because I know what his
answer is. What he told me was he was sad
and traumatized that he was being in prison because he
has committed no crimes.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Sad and traumatized is not saying no, I'm not an
MS thirteen member. Sad and traumatized doesn't mean he's not
a gangbagger. I will tell you what. I rarely agree
with Gavin Newsom, but he was holding a news conference
because the state of California is going to sue the
(23:29):
Trump administration over the tariffs because it's costing them so
much money. But while he was there, one of the
reporters asked him about Chris van Holland going to El Salvador,
and he had what I think is a brilliant answer.
He laughed first of all and said, are you kidding me?
(23:49):
And then this was his answer.
Speaker 13 (23:51):
This is the distraction of the day, the art of distraction.
Don't get distracted by distractions, we say, and here we
sig and zag. This is the debate they want. This
is their eighty twenty issue, as they've described it. You know,
those that believe in the rule of law defending it.
But's tough case because people are really are they defending
(24:13):
ms R thirteen? Are they defending you know, someone who's
out of sight, out of mine in El Salvador. I mean,
we're perfect sheep.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
We're perfect sheep. We do exactly what Donald Trump leads
us to do. That's what he was saying. He was saying,
this was perfectly set up by Donald Trump to put
the Democrats on the wrong side of an issue that
eighty percent of the public agree with. That's what he
was talking about when he said the eighty twenty issue.
(24:43):
So the Democrats are forced now forced to encircle Kilmar
Abrego Garcia and make him their cause, celeb an MS
thirteen member who is in the country illegally, and this
is exactly what but the American people voted against. They
(25:04):
want him out. They want people like him out of
the country. Only a handful of Democrats are ready to
support this, and it's a horrible issue for them. In
the meantime, the other guy that was all over the
news yesterday on a related issue was Tom Homan. The
(25:24):
Borders are and he handled Jonathan Carl on ABC extremely well,
including this embarrassing question by Jonathan Carl.
Speaker 14 (25:35):
Not even a US Senator could get any information about
his whereabouts or the condition of his incarciation without actually
going down and making the trip to El Salvador himself.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
We obviously knew his where else.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
He's went there to see him.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
He doesn't know his whereabouts, but he just went to
El Salvador. I'm sure, Jonathan Carl, you have to sit
there and not make a face like I was just stupid.
But Jonathan Carl must have felt stupid, but he made that.
You know, he was like he just looked at him
sternly and didn't give in at all, but he was
(26:10):
he was embarrassed by that.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
What bothers me more than that as a US center
of travel, off cellar on taxpayer dime to meet with
an MS thirteen gang member, public safety threat terrorists and
in the meantime, the day before he traveled, illegal alien
was arrestled from murder were leased to the streets rather
than honoring an ICE detainer in his very own state.
(26:32):
What concerns me and Van Hallen never went to the
border the last four years on Joe Biden when he
had six hundred percent increase in sex trafficking women and children.
You have a record number of no inspected terrorist across
that border.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Now, Jonathan Carl was getting frustrated with Tom Hollman because
Tom Holman had an answer for everything he said, including
the fact that there's no due process. You know, you
didn't follow the law, and he said under the Alien
Enemies Act, none of that stuff we have to do.
And so after a while Jonathan Carl actually got into
(27:05):
a fight with Tom Holman.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
We probably enemy Zach and you you're talking like it's
a Title eight removal. Isn't a Title eight removal. That's
a different procedure without tress, without enemies.
Speaker 14 (27:16):
That so no extended proceedings, no chance to prove their innocence.
Somebody's got a bad tattoo, somebody's I mean your acknowledge.
Tattoos are part of the calculation.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
Here, I manufacturer on the manufacturers, I worked, have you?
Have you been an alien gang cous gark? I have
Tattoos are one of many factors that's going to determine
from the king.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, it looked like Homan was going to strangle him
at one point. I felt bad for Jonathan carl I
like him, but he was in a bad situation there.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
In the meantime, how about Alexandria Cassio Cortez. She is
touring the country while her own district in the Bronx suffers.
We'll talk about that next. Alexand Andrea Cassio Cortez has
basically left New York City. She's forgotten all about New
York City. She's going to be president, or she's going
to be senator, or she's going to be something else.
(28:12):
And she's certainly not a good representative of the Bronx.
She's forgotten about the Bronx as she travels the country
and tests out, much like Kamala Harris test out some
new accents.
Speaker 8 (28:29):
Seven.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
So that wasn't her, by the way, although she can
speak fluent Spanish, it could have been her. But I
don't know if you've seen as she's traveled the country
of every single time she talks to a particular crowd,
her accent changes. And she of course is traveling the
country with Bernie Sanders, and the two of them right now,
(28:55):
you you're going to argue, are the leaders of the
Democratic Party. They're the only ones that aren't really doing
something stupid. I mean, you can look at Corey Booker,
you can look at Chris van holland you can look
at Schumer. Every one of them have stepped in it,
which is why the Democratic Party has historically low approval numbers.
But AOC and Bernie Sanders, at least they're out there
(29:18):
and they're attracting huge crowds. But at the same time,
while AOC is out there, she is completely forgotten where
she came from. She's completely forgotten the Bronx and her district.
And so Rachel Campo stuffy. You've seen her own Fox News.
(29:39):
She speaks fluent Spanish. She's married to Sean Duffy, who's
now the Transportation Secretary and used to be an anchor
also at Fox News. And she's Hispanic. And she went
to the Bronx to ask people what it's like there
in AOC's district.
Speaker 12 (30:00):
Within that Burki after seven pm, you cannot walk around here.
Speaker 9 (30:03):
Is the government. Every like a week you heard like
somebody was killed, somebody was like Vidan.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Someone in se I feel very unsafe, truly.
Speaker 12 (30:15):
I've had three times someone tried to assault me, try
to pull my gold chain.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah, it looked awful. I saw all the video. It
just looked awful.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
It was.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
There's prostitution, there was brothels, there's gangs that are on
the streets and run certain areas. There's stolen goods being sold.
So all the businesses are leaving, and AOC is going
across the country with Bernie Sanders because she has bigger aspirations.
She doesn't care about her district in the Bronx. But
(30:44):
Ramsey's Frios does. He ran against AOC as a Republican
and now he's running for city Council District twenty five,
and he is taking AOC to task and saying that
she forgot her district completely.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
He's an absentee landlord. She never comes around. She doesn't
want to, you know, face the facts that this community
is going under. We are facing so many issues from prostitution,
violent crime. Gangs are just taking over our streets, putting
their tags up everywhere and making things so uncomfortable for
(31:22):
all of our community members.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Have you heard AOC talk about that at all? Have
you heard her talk about her district at all? Have
you seen her in her district except when she's running
and she'll make like one appearance. She's now Washington. She
now has bigger aspirations. If you live in the Bronx,
I'm sorry she forgot completely about you. And one of
(31:49):
her big issues used to be human trafficking. Well, guess
what ground zero for human trafficking in New York is
her district. It's just horrible.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
Human trafficking is at an all time high in our area,
and it's almost as if the politicians in the area
are trying to make it legal and make it a
regular thing. We're trying to stop this at all costs.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah, he's impressive. Ramsey's free Us is his name, And
as I said, he's running for city council.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
Well, I'm running for city council District twenty five and
that's versus Sheikhar krish Nuan. And what I have to
do is try my best to restore the balance here
and bring back a community that's well loved and has
so much to offer. We're tired of being stepped on,
we're tired of being used, and we just want to
(32:40):
live peaceful and tranquil lives just like everyone else. Everyone
here wants the American dream.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I wonder when it's going to happen that Democratic voters,
who have been sold a ball at bill of goods
for years about how they were going to be helped
and people just use them as a stepping stone, are
going to wise up and vote for a Republican. That's
the only way things are going to change. So I
(33:06):
wish Ramsey Free Us all the luck in the world,
but he's got a tough job ahead of him in
that district. Let's get back to our big story of
the day. Pope Francis has passed away, leaving millions around
the world. In Mooring and we're going to talk with
ABC's Jim Ryan on his life and legacy after the
seven o'clock News
You know, it shouldn't be a shocker, but it is.
In the Big Three, Pope Francis has died on Easter Monday,
after wishing the faithful a happy Easter from the balcony
of Saint Peter's Basilica yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Fatelli Bona Pascua.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Sitting in a wheelchair and sounding frail and weak. The
Pope has been fighting pneumonia. Pope Francis was eighty eight
years old. Natalie Migluri right now is at Saint Patrick's
Cathedral talking with the faithful. We'll have her coming up
in just a few minutes, and ABC's Jim Ryan will
be with us at seven o eight to remember the
(00:43):
life and legacy of Pope Francis. In other news, Democratic
Senator Chris van Holland is feeling some heat after going
to El Salvador to try and free a deported MS
thirteen gang member, and he admits when he met with
Kilmar Abrago Garcia, how could you not bring it up?
(01:04):
He never even brought it up.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
You didn't ask him.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I didn't ask him that because I know what his
answer is. What he told me was he was sad
and traumatized that he was being in prison because he
has committed no crimes.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
It was an incredible interview. We'll play more of it
coming up, But it was the fact that he wouldn't
answer a question about him. It sounds like it was
a love meeting between the two of them because he
didn't ask him one significant question. Mayor Adams does an
interview on Fox News to explain why he left the
(01:42):
Democratic Party. I think it's just common sense. You know,
what does every day New Yorkers want? And you know,
I use the terminology all the time. People say, well,
you know you left the Democratic Party. You know the
party left me. Sianna has another poll out by the
way showing Andrew Cuomo way out in front and some
of the other cat that's for to be exactly are
teaming up to take down Andrew Cuomo. Alexandria Ocasio Cortes
(02:07):
is under fire for neglecting her congressional district in the
Bronx as she tours the country with Bernie Sanders. It's
just horrible.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Human trafficking is at an all time high in our area,
and it's almost as if the politicians in the area
are trying to make it legal and make it a
regular thing. We're trying to stop this at all costs.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And should today, Easter Monday be a holiday.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
No.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
I don't view this as a Republican thing or a
Democrat thing. This is a very American thing, honoring a
holiday that's celebrated by eighty one percent of Americans, and
I just think it would give people an opportunity as
there if they're traveling to spend time with loved ones
and celebrate Eastern.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
There's a bill in the Senate right now that would
make today, the day after Easter a holiday starting next year,
and you would think that movement gets a little bit
of fuel considering what happened today with Pope Francis. I
want to read to you, but you must have heard
the news by now that Pope Francis and I just
(03:10):
did it in the Big Three a second ago. Pope
Francis is dead at the age of eighty eight. I
want to read the statement put out by the Vatican
this morning. It was nine forty five in Italy, so
it was nine forty five in the morning there, and
they're a little bit behind us. Cardinal Kevin Farrell read
(03:32):
this from Cassas Santa Marta, where Pope Francis died. He wrote,
dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow, I must bounce
the death of our holy father Francis. At seven thirty
five this morning, the Bishop of Rome. Francis returned to
the house of his father. His entire life was dedicated
(03:55):
to the service of the Lord and out of his church.
He taught us to live the values of the Gospel
with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of
the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his
example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we
commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful
(04:19):
love of the One and True God. So today is
the day that Pope Francis died. We're all going to
remember him as a pope who came into office and
really changed everything, especially after Pope Benedict. He was a progressive,
he was a reformer. He clashed with the conservatives at
(04:41):
the Vatican constantly. They did not like that he told
priests all around the world to make certain that they
bless and give communion to gay Americans and gays around
the world. He addressed and came up with new edicts.
(05:02):
He was the first pope to really address the church
scandal and came up with rules for priests around the world.
He was different even when he first walked into office,
well even when he first was elevated to pope and
took the office. He was so different than the past
(05:24):
popes because he grew up in poverty in Argentina. There
was no designer shoes, there was no pomp and circumstance.
This pope absolutely was a man of the people. And
I hope that they choose the next pope at the
conclave thinking of Pope Francis, because if you think about it,
(05:49):
the pope is supposed to carry on the work of Jesus.
He is supposed to be Jesus on earth, to live
the same type of life. And for popes in the past,
it was pomp and pageantry. There was a lot of
riches that came with being the pope. This pope rejected
(06:11):
at all, and I hope they think about that when
they picked their next pope. This pope grew up in
poverty on the streets of Argentina. Hack He was a
bouncer for a while in a bar before being elevated
up to where he is right now, I'm looking at
(06:33):
some of its as we're talking. I'm now looking at
some of the things he did throughout his life. And
it was absolutely, really amazing that this man became pope.
He was the first pope in the Southern hemisphere. He
is the first pope from the Americas. He was the
first and if you're Catholic, you're going to understand what
(06:53):
this means. He was the first Jesuit pope. There was
so many things that were different about this pope, but
the most stark difference about this Pope is that he
wasn't as conservative as the Catholic Church had become. He
wasn't as stringent as the Catholic Church has become. You
(07:15):
saw it, remember the Pope mobile where they had the
Pope protected because of an assassination attempt. He got into
office and said, get rid of that. There will be
no more of that. He wanted it opened aired. And
if he was going to be someone he felt like
he was protected by God. He said that, But but
if somebody was going to kill him. As he was
(07:36):
driving through town, he said, so be it. I needed
to be with the people. I needed them to be
able to see and touch me. What is truly amazing
about him dying is that one of the last meetings
he took, maybe the last meeting he took, was with
(07:57):
the American Vice President JD. Vance and feeling great, but
it's good to see you and get health right. There
wasn't a lot to it. It was only about a
minute meeting. The escorted JD. Vans and his wife in
the Pope didn't look well. He was sitting in a wheelchair,
barely spoke during the meeting. Others spoke for him. So
(08:19):
after a minute JD. Van said goodbye, thank you very
much for your visit, of course, of course, and thank
you for seeing me. That was him being excused, did
you hear that? Like after a minute, it was thank
you very much for your visit. Now you can leave,
and JD. Vans understood and moved out of there. I
want to play for you a couple of messages from
(08:40):
Pope Francis over the last couple of weeks, because they're
important now. He really took in children. He was really
concerned about children in the world. He was concerned about poverty,
and he thought countries didn't do enough to pull children
out of poverty. He grew up in poverty himself.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Acious opportunity for all of us to listen to her
hopes and concerns. We are also challenged to reflect on
how well we are testmitting our values to the next generation,
and on the kind of war and society we are
(09:24):
preparing to handle on to them.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
He called helping children of pilgrimage of hope for the future.
He was the shame of it is there was language barriers,
but he was just a wonderful, wonderful speaker. And of
course after the funeral, it's not going to happen right away,
but all the cardinals are going to be going to
the Vatican depict the next pope.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
They fly in from all over the world. They pray.
There's a space between the time that the pope dies
and they actually start the conclave, and then they're locked
behind the closed doors until they can reach a two
thirds majority.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Right, we all saw the movie, right, and the white
smoke and the black smoke telling you if they have
picked the next pope.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
This is the most important thing that they do. So
many cardinals are bishops and archbishops and are on dioceses.
But once you become a cardinal, your main role is
not only to advise the pope but to elect the
next one.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
So obviously we're going to be talking about this throughout
the day. How are New Yorkers feeling this morning after
hearing the news of Pope Francis's passing. W r's Natalie
Migliore is at Saint Patrick's Cathedral right now speaking with
the faithful. We'll talk to her next.
Speaker 9 (10:36):
Service and a seamless luxury car buying experience, whether you're
searching for a new or certified pre owned outing or
need expert service from their highly true.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Well, we're all waking up to the news that Pope
Francis has died at the age of eighty eight. I'm
certain that it's Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan. There is
going to be a crowd throughout the day, people showing
up to pray. People show up up just because that's
where you go. Where you go when you're a Catholic
(11:06):
and something turns is bad, or when the pope dies,
you go to your local church. You go to your
local cathedral. You're hoping there's a mess, and you pray,
and you light some candles and you pray for the
soul of Pope Francis, although I'm certain he's going to
be fine. I'm certain he's already in heaven right now
(11:27):
out at Saint Patrick's Cathedral to find out what's going on,
and she'll be out there throughout the morning, is our
own Natalie Migliori. Natalie, what's it like out there right now?
Speaker 10 (11:38):
AERI?
Speaker 11 (11:38):
There are a lot of camera crews out here, Larry,
as sparse mourners stand in front of the cathedral right
here in the smack dad middle of Manhattan. You know, Larry,
the church, the cathedral is not open to the public yet,
so as the door's open, I'm sure people will come
(11:58):
and droves, whether like you said, to pray for the
Pope and his soul or to just see this iconic
cathedral since it really is a tourist attraction here in Manhattan.
But very sparse prayers throughout the prayers throughout the morning
from people who stop in front of smack dab in
the middle of this giant cathedral, in the middle of
(12:20):
the steps to say a prayer. A lot of reflection
this morning. I'm talking to a lot of people who
have stopped and as they start to walk away, you
know we approach, we let them say their prayers and
their condolences and just talking to them about what they
want in the next leader of the Catholic Church, reflecting
on Pope Francis's life and all of that stuff. So
(12:41):
we'll definitely have more of that as the morning goes on.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Larry, wonderful. Natalie, we will check in with you again again.
That's Natalie Miglioroi out at Saint Patrick's Cathedral. It's too
early in the morning right now, but she did set
the scene. She's not, as she said, the only one
out there. There are lots of television care who's out
there waiting for the faithful to show up in the meantime,
(13:04):
And I would think that there'd be a bigger push
for this. Now there is a call in Congress right
now for this day to become a holiday, and now
with the events of today with Pope Francis dying, I
would think that that push would get a little bit
more momentum. I didn't realize this, but around the world,
(13:28):
Easter Monday is a holiday. It just hasn't been in America.
And New Yorkers think it's a wonderful idea.
Speaker 12 (13:36):
Absolutely, it should be a federal holiday.
Speaker 9 (13:38):
Why not?
Speaker 7 (13:39):
I think a Monday after the Super Bowl, after Easter,
anytime there's a holiday on a Sunday, give everybody Monday off?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yes, because then I can travel to see my family
from school. Right, exactly, of course it should be. And
as I said, around the world this is already a holiday.
Why not here I'm.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
French and we have a national holiday, so it's called
landing the bike and so on.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
On Monday.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
You don't work and you don't go to school.
Speaker 13 (14:07):
I'm from Denmark, so in Denmark we have Thursday, Friday
and Monday off.
Speaker 9 (14:12):
Do you have off that day in Ireland? Yes, we do.
Speaker 14 (14:15):
How do you use that day.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
To recover from the day before? So why don't we
Around the world.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
They have off on Easter Monday. Doesn't it make so
much sense?
Speaker 10 (14:27):
I think we should leave right now.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I'm certain that the resistance that would really go over. Well.
Speaker 12 (14:35):
My daughter has off today. She goes to Seaton Hall University.
They had Thursday, Friday and Monday off. They have their
spring break early and then they have the Holy Days off.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Just like Denmark. I mean around the way.
Speaker 12 (14:48):
In the world, Oh, it is absolutely I mean I
remember traveling in Spain, and it's absolutely as important as Easter.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Well, next year we might have it off because Senator
Eric Schmid has a bill to make Easter Monday a holiday.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
In my view, it shouldn't be that controversial. We hope
to get support on this in a bipartisan way. It's
pro worker, it's pro faith, it's pro America. So I
think this is something that in a world where everything
seems to be controversial, hopefully we can come together and say,
you know what, the Monday after Easter to be a
national holiday. We already have a national day of prayer.
I think this would be a really good thing for
us to do.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Absolutely, don't you think. I mean, I don't think anybody
in the world would be against us. This should goes
through the Senate pretty easily. So next year, what do
you think about that? Next year we might have off nice. Yeah,
isn't that great? Thank goodness for Senator Eric Schmidt. He
has my full and unmitigated support, and so does Jacqueline.
(15:46):
Carlo's time now for the news at six thirty Jacqueline.
Speaker 9 (15:50):
Good morning.
Speaker 10 (15:50):
Pope Francis is dead at the age of eighty eight.
The Vatican announced he passed away earlier today, about a
month after leaving a hospital in Rome where he was
being treated for various respiratory ailments, and a former New
York police officer, Michael McMahon, was sentenced to eighteen months
in prison for acting as an illegal agent for China.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Prosecutors say that Michael McMahon pressured a New Jersey resident
to return to China as part of Operation Fox Hunt.
He was convicted of interstate stocking and acting as an
agent without notifying the US Attorney General. Additionally, he received
an eleven thousand dollars fine for his actions. Now, McMahon
claimed that he believed that he was recovering embezzled funds
(16:33):
for a company and wouldn't have participated had he known
China's involvement. Bill Traferro wr News.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
Now this kind of this is this story makes me
a little said less unless people are moving down South.
According to redfind, major cities like Florida, Texas have been
huge domestic migration in the past, but Sun Belt destinations
like Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Dallas, Orlando, San Antonio, and others
have been seeing substantial slow.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Down population growth.
Speaker 10 (17:01):
Reasons are said to be a rise and cost of living,
natural disasters and the cost of insurance to deal with them,
decreasing abilities to work remotely affecting mobility, competition from more
affordable locales, the overall cost of moving, and uncertainty with
the current economy. So it used to be like so
kind of easy to decide to go where to go
(17:22):
after you retire? Now what do you do, especially if
you can't afford to say where you are? Like to
have either of you thought like, this is where I'm
going to go when I retire. Have you picked a place?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Well, I'm going to head down the Jersey. Sure, I'm
pretty easy, but I have friends in Florida and they're
trying to get out because the insurance rates are insane
right now. They just they skyrocket, It's like three hundred
percent they went up.
Speaker 10 (17:47):
I know things will change, but I find myself asking
everybody where are you? Where would you retire? Where would
you retire? Because it's like it used to be a
pretty easy call. If you wanted to go down south,
then you wanted a lower cost of life living. But
now it's it's really tricky where to go?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, I think the Carolinas are hot, which is where
Joe Bartlett went to that's it seems where everybody went
to Florida is now trying to go to the Carolina.
Speaker 12 (18:10):
Right, and then that won't be affordable either, and we'll
be moving to Iowa.
Speaker 10 (18:14):
So true, no more.
Speaker 12 (18:17):
You know what, maybe that'll be great, a slower pace
of life, so Florida to live, Yeah, but we can't
afford it.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I know when I lived in California, I had two
friends that moved to Wyoming and started a ranch and
I was like, what, why do you want to work more?
Ranches are a little bit difficult.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
How did it work out for them?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
They love it. They just still there. So oh yeah,
they're still there. They absolutely love it. They do they
need a ranch hand when I'd be the worst ranch
hand you could possibly hire. But I'll think about it.
That's a good idea, thanks, Jacqueline Carl. California Governor Gavin
Newsom calls out his own party for rallying around the
(19:02):
deported gangbanger. We'll talk about it next and also, don't
forget you can leave us at talkback all morning long.
Go to seven ten wor on the iHeartRadio app and
just click the microphone and when you're there, put seven
to ten wor on your presets. So Chris Van Holland,
the Senator from Maryland who traveled down to El Salvador
(19:26):
trying to say the kilmar Abrego Garcia, one of the
worst political moves in recent history, was everywhere this weekend.
And I'm sure he didn't appreciate the questions he was asked.
Even at friendly places like CNN, they went after him,
even from his own party. He was taking incoming look.
(19:50):
It was a bad look, and it was a bad move,
and he really wanted to increase his stock in the
Demoocratic Party and it didn't work. It just didn't work.
You can't be on the wrong side of this issue.
I know, I know there's people out there that going, well,
(20:11):
what about his constitutional rights? Well, he has limited constitutional rights.
He's not a citizen, he's never been a citizen. What
about due process? He has limited due process? And especially
if they can use the Alien Enemies Act, which has
to be decided by the Supreme Court, then they can
just send them out of the country when they want to.
So it's a losing battle, but it's a losing battle
(20:33):
for a senator because the one of the number one
issues this last election was getting rid of the millions
and millions of people that came here and are causing
cities and states to have financial problems, and the crime
rate went up. And so I don't know what Chris
(20:56):
van Hollen was thinking. There's a point where you almost
feel bad for him. Well, he did go on Fox
News and admit that we paid for his trip. Who
did pay for this trip?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
This was an officially clear you know, congressional trip. Clear, Yes,
like every other trip.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
This wasn't like every other trip. This is something you
chose to do. And I don't know how this was
official US policy. It was absolutely a political trip. So
the fact that we paid for his trip, which seems
to be a campaign trip, is even more insulting to
America and to US. And then he went to CNN.
(21:41):
Now I'm sure he thought, I'm on safeground. Now I
have Dana Bash. I'm sure she's gonna be kind to me.
And then Dana Bash was kinder than they were in
Fox News. But when you don't answer a question, any
journalist is going to follow up.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Can you say with absolute certainty that he is not
nor has he ever been a member of the MS
thirteen gang And did you ask him point blank.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Well, Dan, what Donald Trump is trying to do here
is change the subject. The subject at hand is that
he wait.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
A second, No, he's trying to change the subject. He
didn't answer the question.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Can you say with absolute certainty that he is not,
nor has he ever been a member of the MS
thirteen gang? And did you ask him point blank?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Well, what Donald Trump is trying to do here is
change the subject. The subject at hand is that he
and his administration are define a court order to people
to give a Brago Garcia his due process rights.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Now he went on from there. He just started talking.
He just threw words together and never answered the question.
And I'll give Dana bash a lot of credit. She
followed up.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
You didn't ask him.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
I didn't ask him that because I know what his
answer is. What he told me was he was sad
and traumatized that he was being in prison because he
has committed no crimes.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Sad and traumatized is not saying no, I'm not an
MS thirteen member. Sad and traumatized doesn't mean he's not
a gangbagger. I will tell you what. I rarely agree
with Gavin Newsom, but he was holding a news conference
because the state of California is going to sue the
(23:29):
Trump administration over the tariffs because it's costing them so
much money. But while he was there, one of the
reporters asked him about Chris van Holland going to El Salvador,
and he had what I think is a brilliant answer.
He laughed first of all and said, are you kidding me?
(23:49):
And then this was his answer.
Speaker 13 (23:51):
This is the distraction of the day, the art of distraction.
Don't get distracted by distractions, we say, and here we
sig and zag. This is the debate they want. This
is their eighty twenty issue, as they've described it. You know,
those that believe in the rule of law defending it.
But's tough case because people are really are they defending
(24:13):
ms R thirteen? Are they defending you know, someone who's
out of sight, out of mine in El Salvador. I mean,
we're perfect sheep.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
We're perfect sheep. We do exactly what Donald Trump leads
us to do. That's what he was saying. He was saying,
this was perfectly set up by Donald Trump to put
the Democrats on the wrong side of an issue that
eighty percent of the public agree with. That's what he
was talking about when he said the eighty twenty issue.
(24:43):
So the Democrats are forced now forced to encircle Kilmar
Abrego Garcia and make him their cause, celeb an MS
thirteen member who is in the country illegally, and this
is exactly what but the American people voted against. They
(25:04):
want him out. They want people like him out of
the country. Only a handful of Democrats are ready to
support this, and it's a horrible issue for them. In
the meantime, the other guy that was all over the
news yesterday on a related issue was Tom Homan. The
(25:24):
Borders are and he handled Jonathan Carl on ABC extremely well,
including this embarrassing question by Jonathan Carl.
Speaker 14 (25:35):
Not even a US Senator could get any information about
his whereabouts or the condition of his incarciation without actually
going down and making the trip to El Salvador himself.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
We obviously knew his where else.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
He's went there to see him.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
He doesn't know his whereabouts, but he just went to
El Salvador. I'm sure, Jonathan Carl, you have to sit
there and not make a face like I was just stupid.
But Jonathan Carl must have felt stupid, but he made that.
You know, he was like he just looked at him
sternly and didn't give in at all, but he was
(26:10):
he was embarrassed by that.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
What bothers me more than that as a US center
of travel, off cellar on taxpayer dime to meet with
an MS thirteen gang member, public safety threat terrorists and
in the meantime, the day before he traveled, illegal alien
was arrestled from murder were leased to the streets rather
than honoring an ICE detainer in his very own state.
(26:32):
What concerns me and Van Hallen never went to the
border the last four years on Joe Biden when he
had six hundred percent increase in sex trafficking women and children.
You have a record number of no inspected terrorist across
that border.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Now, Jonathan Carl was getting frustrated with Tom Hollman because
Tom Holman had an answer for everything he said, including
the fact that there's no due process. You know, you
didn't follow the law, and he said under the Alien
Enemies Act, none of that stuff we have to do.
And so after a while Jonathan Carl actually got into
(27:05):
a fight with Tom Holman.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
We probably enemy Zach and you you're talking like it's
a Title eight removal. Isn't a Title eight removal. That's
a different procedure without tress, without enemies.
Speaker 14 (27:16):
That so no extended proceedings, no chance to prove their innocence.
Somebody's got a bad tattoo, somebody's I mean your acknowledge.
Tattoos are part of the calculation.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
Here, I manufacturer on the manufacturers, I worked, have you?
Have you been an alien gang cous gark? I have
Tattoos are one of many factors that's going to determine
from the king.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, it looked like Homan was going to strangle him
at one point. I felt bad for Jonathan carl I
like him, but he was in a bad situation there.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
In the meantime, how about Alexandria Cassio Cortez. She is
touring the country while her own district in the Bronx suffers.
We'll talk about that next. Alexand Andrea Cassio Cortez has
basically left New York City. She's forgotten all about New
York City. She's going to be president, or she's going
to be senator, or she's going to be something else.
(28:12):
And she's certainly not a good representative of the Bronx.
She's forgotten about the Bronx as she travels the country
and tests out, much like Kamala Harris test out some
new accents.
Speaker 8 (28:29):
Seven.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
So that wasn't her, by the way, although she can
speak fluent Spanish, it could have been her. But I
don't know if you've seen as she's traveled the country
of every single time she talks to a particular crowd,
her accent changes. And she of course is traveling the
country with Bernie Sanders, and the two of them right now,
(28:55):
you you're going to argue, are the leaders of the
Democratic Party. They're the only ones that aren't really doing
something stupid. I mean, you can look at Corey Booker,
you can look at Chris van holland you can look
at Schumer. Every one of them have stepped in it,
which is why the Democratic Party has historically low approval numbers.
But AOC and Bernie Sanders, at least they're out there
(29:18):
and they're attracting huge crowds. But at the same time,
while AOC is out there, she is completely forgotten where
she came from. She's completely forgotten the Bronx and her district.
And so Rachel Campo stuffy. You've seen her own Fox News.
(29:39):
She speaks fluent Spanish. She's married to Sean Duffy, who's
now the Transportation Secretary and used to be an anchor
also at Fox News. And she's Hispanic. And she went
to the Bronx to ask people what it's like there
in AOC's district.
Speaker 12 (30:00):
Within that Burki after seven pm, you cannot walk around here.
Speaker 9 (30:03):
Is the government. Every like a week you heard like
somebody was killed, somebody was like Vidan.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Someone in se I feel very unsafe, truly.
Speaker 12 (30:15):
I've had three times someone tried to assault me, try
to pull my gold chain.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah, it looked awful. I saw all the video. It
just looked awful.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
It was.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
There's prostitution, there was brothels, there's gangs that are on
the streets and run certain areas. There's stolen goods being sold.
So all the businesses are leaving, and AOC is going
across the country with Bernie Sanders because she has bigger aspirations.
She doesn't care about her district in the Bronx. But
(30:44):
Ramsey's Frios does. He ran against AOC as a Republican
and now he's running for city Council District twenty five,
and he is taking AOC to task and saying that
she forgot her district completely.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
He's an absentee landlord. She never comes around. She doesn't
want to, you know, face the facts that this community
is going under. We are facing so many issues from prostitution,
violent crime. Gangs are just taking over our streets, putting
their tags up everywhere and making things so uncomfortable for
(31:22):
all of our community members.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Have you heard AOC talk about that at all? Have
you heard her talk about her district at all? Have
you seen her in her district except when she's running
and she'll make like one appearance. She's now Washington. She
now has bigger aspirations. If you live in the Bronx,
I'm sorry she forgot completely about you. And one of
(31:49):
her big issues used to be human trafficking. Well, guess
what ground zero for human trafficking in New York is
her district. It's just horrible.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
Human trafficking is at an all time high in our area,
and it's almost as if the politicians in the area
are trying to make it legal and make it a
regular thing. We're trying to stop this at all costs.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah, he's impressive. Ramsey's free Us is his name, And
as I said, he's running for city council.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
Well, I'm running for city council District twenty five and
that's versus Sheikhar krish Nuan. And what I have to
do is try my best to restore the balance here
and bring back a community that's well loved and has
so much to offer. We're tired of being stepped on,
we're tired of being used, and we just want to
(32:40):
live peaceful and tranquil lives just like everyone else. Everyone
here wants the American dream.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I wonder when it's going to happen that Democratic voters,
who have been sold a ball at bill of goods
for years about how they were going to be helped
and people just use them as a stepping stone, are
going to wise up and vote for a Republican. That's
the only way things are going to change. So I
(33:06):
wish Ramsey Free Us all the luck in the world,
but he's got a tough job ahead of him in
that district. Let's get back to our big story of
the day. Pope Francis has passed away, leaving millions around
the world. In Mooring and we're going to talk with
ABC's Jim Ryan on his life and legacy after the
seven o'clock News
