What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey there, Lemon Nation. We got a woke pope. Sort of. Kind of. Maybe. We can discuss it. It's woke-ish. Woke-ish. He's got a tinge of woke, a patina of woke. A tinge of woke. For a pope, we'll say woke. Okay. As woke as you can get, reasonably speaking, for a pope. We're going to discuss it. We got the Lemon Legends coming up in just a minute. But yeah, in case you have been under a rock, we have a new Pope. We got it earlier this afternoon. What, Nikki, around maybe two o'clock-ish, three o'clock-ish, a little earlier?
A lot quicker than I think a lot of people were expecting.
I crunched the numbers, actually. Do you want to guess how many Scaramoochies it took?
Well, let's see. That would have been like one-fifth or one-sixth of a Scaramoochie.
Almost. So Scaramucci's 11 days. So per my calculations, and granted, they're not down to the minute, but if we say it's two days, I think that's 0.18 Scaramucci's.
Not long. Not bad.
All right, let's dive right into things. I'm sorry, guys, it's going to be a slightly shorter show tonight because I have to run to an event. We'll be clocking out of here around 5.40, but let's have fun. Let's watch a CBS News report on our new Maybe Woke podcast.
Hi, everyone, and thanks for joining us here on CBS News 24-7. I'm Lindsay Reiser. A truly history-making day at the Vatican, where the Catholic Church has elected its new leader. This was the scene just a short time ago when Cardinal Robert Prevost of the United States came to the balcony in St.
Who is the newly elected Pope and when was he announced?
Peter's Square after being announced as the new pope of the Roman Catholic Church. Cardinal Prevost, who was chosen the name Pope Leo XIV, blessed the crowd after his speech shortly after the conclave made its final decision.
how we can together be a missionary church, a church that builds bridges, that is always open to receive everyone, just like in this square, to receive everyone, to welcome everyone, our charity, our dialogue and love.
Pope Leo XIV is the first American-born pope to be elected ever. The 69-year-old was born in Chicago before doing his missionary work in Peru. He went on to be elevated to a cardinal by Pope Francis in 2023.
Now, it took at least four rounds of voting over the course of two days to see this, the white smoke billowing out of the chimney on the Sistine Chapel announcing the selection of the 267th pontiff. OUT OF THE 133 CARDINALS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE VOTING, TWO-THIRDS OF THEM, PLUS ONE, HAD TO AGREE IN ORDER TO SOLIDIFY THE DECISION. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THESE IMAGES, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE RUSHED TO ST. PETER'S SQUARE TO WITNESS THIS SPECTACLE AND TO CELEBRATE THE MOMENT. NOW WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE OF THE NEW POPE, CBS NEWS PAPER CONTRIBUTOR FRANCIS ROCCA IS IN ROME AND CBS NEWS PAPER CONTRIBUTOR CANADA MOSS IS WITH ME HERE IN STUDIO 57. FRANK, WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND START WITH YOU. First, just your reaction, what you make of the new pope and the reaction in the crowd.
Well, it's remarkable. I mean, he was on some of the lists. This doesn't come entirely out of the blue. But late in the game, everybody assumed that if we had a result this quickly, it would be Cardinal Parolin, because he was the frontrunner without question. And we thought, if somebody else is going to emerge, it's going to take longer. But that turned out not to be true. And, you know, as journalists, I think we were hoping for an exciting story, you know, an Asian pope, an African pope. But this is no less exciting. How would you describe him ideologically in terms of many of the issues that will be facing the church and that he will have to contend with his pope? Well, it's an interesting question.
He served for a little bit more than two years at the end of Francis' pontificate. He ran the office for the selection of bishops. So he was in charge of advising the pope on what bishops to appoint. He kept a low profile on the most contentious, neuralgic, sensitive, controversial issues. But when he was in the previous pontificate under Pope Benedict XVI, and he was the head of the Augustinian order, a religious order, he spoke in a more—
