  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. All right, well, we've got
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: some news as to where Cardinal Dolan will go next.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: According to the Good News Room, two of the best
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: clergy in New York City are coming together to be
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: co chieftains of the MPD chaplain and I've got to
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: know both of them over the last fourteen, twelve, thirteen years.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Cardinal Dolan, after he has now retired from Saint Patrick's
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: as the Cardinal well now and this is such a
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: natural fit to me become the chaplain of the NYPD
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: alongside Aar Bernard, who I've gotten to know over the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: years at WMCA. And we just had the women's event
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: at the Christian Cultural Center. We just had PAE last
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: year at the Christian Cultural Center, home of a Ar Bernard.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: So I feel like the NYP is in great hands
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and I love that this is the way Cardinal Dolan
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: will stay in New York. A lot of people were saying, well,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: where was he going to go next after Archbishop Hicks
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: now takes over at Saint Patrick's Cathedral. Well, this next
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: step just is perfect and we knew for a long
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: time he wanted to stay in the city after his retirement.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And as you know, both men have always supported the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: NYPD through tragedy through success, and I'm really happy Commissioner
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Tish is keeping them on board as chaplain and so
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: as someone who did not want Cardinal Dolan to leave
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the city because of the impact he had in New York,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I'm very happy with this news. I mean you should
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: be too. And it's two of the great clergy coming
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: together here to lift up the spirits of the NAPD,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to pray for them, for every officer that hits the streets.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And I don't want to say under him, I'm Donnie
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: New York, but I under a New York city where
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: they're not sure if their backs are gonna be protected
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: from city Hall. Let's just be honest here. I'm very
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: happy to see these two picked by Tish. And reason
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: i'm talking about that today is because it's starting tomorrow, Tuesday,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: February tenth, and I just I'm happy. I'm happy that
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: these two minds are going to come together. And you
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: know what's amazing, Ryan, is how connected we are. I
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: mean Air Bernard's on radio in New York on WABC.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I could say that's separate of Salem because there's not
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a Salem sanctioned show, so I could say, yes, he's
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: on WABC with Rev and the Rabbi. Cardinal Dolan comes
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: on often with John Katzimatidas and others throughout the city,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: so I their presence is magnanimous here and the back.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: They both impacted my life through the last thirteen years.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: It's good to see neither of them are leaving the city,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: that they are digging in the trenches here and becoming
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: part of the NYPD, and more importantly the Cordinal Dolan
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: after celebrating his birthday the other day and literally handing
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: it off to Archibridge of Picks with the installation, which
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: was covered on every channel by the way here in
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the city. It's awesome. It is a great move and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a smart move, and this is why Commissioner Tish need
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to stay along as she as long as she can.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: She is a very smart woman. She's a very smart
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: commissioner and I was happy she stayed on board in
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the transition period, but I hope the lasts longer than that.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: A move like this is why we need Commissioner Tish.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: She keeps common sense in the city and this move
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: is indicative of that. And why even during maybe some
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: spats with Mam Donnie along the way, she needs to stay.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: This move right here a month after the inauguration, a
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: month after that commitment to stay in charge of the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: NYPD shows me she needs to stay longer than just
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a traditional period. She needs to be the commissioner for
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: as long as we can have her, because the city
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: feels safer under her. I mean, I haven't felt as
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: safe since the Breton era since, you know, I just
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: feel safer now. I feel safer under this may under
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: this commissioner. And I got a hand into to Mayor
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Adams who picked her. That was his pick and it's
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: made an impact. So whatever you want to say about
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Mayor Adams, this pick of Commissioner Tish will last, will
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: make an impact for the greater good. And just look
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: at this Chaplaincy pick right there. It shows she needs
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to be in this role for a long time because
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: she knows what she's doing. She's bringing together two men,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and I bet you Ryan they all met through the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: pl I mean, Dolan's been at the PL a lot,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Bernard's been on there through radio and all that. I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: have to believe John Katz is sort of behind this
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: because they He brought those two together and now they're
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: going to be leading the NYPD chaplaincy in a time
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: which is facing uncertainty in this first couple of months
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of the Mamdan administration, and you need that certainty given
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: through the guidance, the wisdom, the presence of Cardinal Dolan
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and r. Bernard, who we've known forever. Ugh. This is
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a home run of a pick and even and you know,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Jessica in about a year since she's taken over, this
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: is one of the best moments of her administrator, her
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: MIYPD commissionership, and it's why she needs stay in office
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: as long as she can through the ups and downs
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of this Nanny administration, because she is the glue that
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: is keeping us together as a city and keeping us safer.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And these two picks oh to be co chiefs of
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the chaplain See. I don't want to even talk about
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: this for both today. I don't even care about that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: This is what's happening in this our city. It's impacting
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: us better than some performance that might be criticized from
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: bad Bunny. I don't care about that today. I want
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: this to be the focus because we can enjoy all that.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: But if we don't have a safe city to even
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: get to a watch party in New York, then we're
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: in trouble. So these two, no matter how long the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Jessica Tish era is, it tells me we're gonna be
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: in good hands through the spiritual hands and words of
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: both these men. And yes, maybe because I've known them forever,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: it feels even more special to me. But as a city,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: we should be applauding this move. And I am so
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: thankful that Mayor Adams picked Commissioner Tish. I am so
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: thankful Commissioner Tish has stayed in the first couple of months.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: And I've been thinking about this that there's a thing
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: called the Order of Milkisa Deck. You have to look
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: it up. But I feel like this natural order of
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: how things have happened since that other NYPT Commissioner Kaban
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that was a disaster. This is now falling into place
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: for us, and that pick by Mayor Adams leading to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: this moment right here and tomorrow when it happens officially,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: it's going to make a lasting impact and keeping our
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: cities safe. This is how we know we're on a
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: better track than what the media is telling us, and
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I pray that guidance seeps through to every part of
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: this Mamdani administration. I actually pray that their guidance can
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: lead us through what's happening with the frozen deaths, which
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: is now eighty that's horrible, But you have these two
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: in charge, inspiring the NYPD to do to be safe,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to be the guardians of our city, the protectors of
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: our city. This is bigger news than I've talked about
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: in a while, and I really hope that people can
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: listen to something like this and pay attention to a
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: move like this, because when something hits my desk as
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: important and as magnanimous as this, I put everything aside.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I literally put everything aside and say this matters more
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: than some halftime performance on either side, or some football
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: score and some prediction that went wrong for me because
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I thought Drake May was gonna do it yesterday. But
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: boy am I happy for Sam Darnold. And that twenty
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: eighteen Jets pick makes New York happy because they knocked
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: off the Patriots with it six what eight years later,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I guess, But that doesn't matter right now, because we
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: are in a flux of whether our city will be
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: safe for the next four years. We are in a
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: you know, period of evaluation. This Mom Donnie transition is
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: an evaluation of whether we can handle what he's been
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: talking about the last few months and years. And so
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: in a way, by Tish staying on board, by Mom
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Donnie keeping him at her, and by Adams picking her
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to begin with, has led to this moment and Pope Leo.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: You could say it was political pushing out or a
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Cardinal Dolan. I don't want to get into that, but
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: it's like this divine order to keep us together as
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: a city is finally coming into play with this moment.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I always say God's got the wheels spinning up there,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and I really I feel this even now talking about it,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: because when Pope Leo was picked, we know Cardinal Dolan
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: was the reason why he was picked. When he was
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: pushing out Cardinal Dolan, we were all confused about it.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: But what if there is a higher calling to now
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Cardinal Dolan's role in the city. What if this is
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: it to be the chaplain in the NYPD, to keep
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: us safe, to bring morale up in the department that
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: doesn't know what to do next because they don't know
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: what's gonna happen on her Mamdani. You need those morale
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: boosters in a very spiritual way. Dolan and Air Bernard
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: will bring that. We'll bring that. So this all goes
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: back to Mayor Adams's pick of Jessica Tish and the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: pick keeping of Tish Shore, but also the invisible hand
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: that has got there's no way to explain this. The
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: two men who have been making an impact in the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: city for a very long time on radio, in the pulpit,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: at the altar, you know, whatever you want to say,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: at the cathedral for a very long time, are coming
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: together here and this is going to be a pivotal
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: point in the Tish era. These two picks right here
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: to be co chieftains of the MIPD Chaplaincy, are going
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to be helping us have one leg up in New
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: York and it starts tomorrow, and I want to report
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: on it today. And because I've known them personally, I
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to talk about it more and give that endorsement
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: even more and say this is a great moment and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: should be highlighted over some stupid halftime show, which was great, okay,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: but the arguments about it stupid. This impacts us. This
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: pick is so important I might even call off Tarmanhao's
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: take Talkstaberl tomorrow because I want this to take precedent
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: today because it has to be known that these two
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: men are coming together. And Ryan, I think you agree.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I've been in a unique position to be at MCA
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: for all these years to know about this, and to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: also be in a position with with John cass see
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: how Cardon Dolan talks. I'm in a unique position to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: talk about this, and so of course it would hit
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: my wire that these two men are coming together. And
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I'm sure as a city guy yourself, you're happy that
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: these two are coming together and picked by Pictish. No,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I mean the fact that she's gonna be staying on
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: to oversee this, and not only that, but see Ar
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Bernard and Cardinal Dolan take on these new positions, especially
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: in a time of uncertainty for the city. I mean,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: you really hit the nail on the hammer, or that
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: you really hit the hammer on.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: The nail head.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it hit me, but no, it sums up perfectly
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: what these next few months could look like for the city,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: and especially you having the inside track, the inside connection
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: to these people. And I mean look, we've had similar connections.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I don't really know them as well as say you,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: but even having mutual connections through John Katzmatitis.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: First, Cardinal Dolans remember my dad and when my dad
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: wasn't well, he asked Margo kats Matitis, how's my dad doing?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: And I thought, here's a guy that runs the city's
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: archdiocese and is one of the busiest people in New
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: York and he remember my dad. I mean, this is
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the kind of guy Cardinal Dolan is and who he
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: will be with the chaplains. And remember, unfortunately in his term,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: we've had numerous funerals there for police and firefighters.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: This also really just goes to show, though, how personable
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: that these new hires can be, and you know, especially
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: having that personal connection to them just makes it feel
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: all the more special. So you know, that's not something
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I can really say firsthand because I don't know Cardinal
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Dolan personally. I don't know we are, but our personally
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I know you do, of course, but you know, even
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: to you know, have mutual acquaintances, let's put it that way,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: that makes it feel all the more special.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: And I know you're feeling that right now. I am
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: because I'm thinking of the timeline here. Tis gets appointed
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: by Adams. Unfortunately, then a couple of months later, Pope
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Francis passes Dolan campaigd for Pope Leo, which I don't
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: want to say was his demise because I don't know.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe Pop Leo and other plans for cardinald besides being
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the cardinal of the same pat of the Archdia says
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: of Saint Patrick's. But Cardinal Dolan asked to resigned by
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Pope Leo. Again, not going to speculate. At the same time,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: as this far left socialist is about to be elected
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: in the city, We're saying here we're losing one of
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the biggest faith leaders while this transition is going on,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: what do we do? Tis comes up with the idea
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: to bring him on as NYPD chaplain starting tomorrow co chaplain.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I think this move will set the course for the
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: NYPD for the protection of our city for a long time.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: And this is the biggest move since Jessica Tishrue took
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: office that she's done, and I am so proud of
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: her for making this move. I'm proud of Cardinal Dolan
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: for stay in the city. I'm very happy staying in
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the city and for Air Bernard to join forces. Here.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Quite a moment, and it's worth the one leg up
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Alex News update because it's beyond faith. It is a
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: call to action to keep our city unified through these
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: two men, and to keep our city safe through these
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: two men starting tomorrow as chaplain of the NPD. It's
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: such a New York story, but it feels national at
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the same time, because if you want to save city,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you have these two men leading the charge in the
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: most spiritual, christ like religious way. And I have to
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: believe because he is I have to believe cause he
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: is on the air with him. Maybe Rabbi Potasik also
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: makes an appearance here and there as part of the
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: NYPD Chaplain c team, so I can say in the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: first couple months with authority, Azrite says, I've known these
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: people forever. We're in good hands and I haven't felt
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: this kind of assurance in a while, But we are
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: in good hands thanks to these picks. It's monumental and
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I hope to one day get to one of those
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: chaplain meetings at one Police Plaza to see these two
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: men in action, boosting them around of the NYPD. And
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna send this to him. I want to say
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: thanks to John Katz. I really feel this connection happened.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: He's had Commissioner Tishawn before, he's had Cardinal Dolan on,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: he has aar Bernard on the radio. I think he
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: played a role in this. I really I gotta give
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: him credit here. And he may say no, but I
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: think he's got role in this because he's so connected
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: to the city like that, and he's brought these forces
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: together and you bet yeah, he's so connect with Cardinal.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. He was saying, how do I keep this
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: man in the city? And this is how he does it,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: you know, through this and Jessica just listen. That's my
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: deduction here, so we'll see if I'm right. I'm Alex Scarett.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: One leg up news. We'll talk about the super Bowl tomorrow,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: but this is this is major that I blew out
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: everything else I was going to talk about to deal
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: with this. And that's how breaking news goes. You put
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: everything aside when you know something is the right move
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and the right thing to talk about and the godly
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: thing to talk about, because this is godly for New
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: York and spiritual too, and should keep us feeling assured
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be okay, even as the temperatures are below
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: freezing right now. We're gonna be okay starting tomorrow of
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: February tenth, for the better. I'm Alex Garett. Once again,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: talk to you on the one look Up Network. Thanks
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: to Ryan for chiming in with me today on this
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: breaking news story. Thanks to Good Newsroom,
