ONNJ Mornings with Ken Rosato – Tuesday, August 4 2026
Join Ken Rosato every morning at 7AM for the best of New Jersey news, talk and weather. Today on ON New Jersey Mornings, Ken covers the latest national headlines, from falling oil prices and massive wildfires in Washington State to a deadly cyclosporiasis outbreak, new developments in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day breaking a box office record. We also remember The Sopranos actor Vincent Pastore and examine the nomination of Todd Blanche as Deputy Attorney General. In New Jersey, we look at a lawsuit led by Attorney General Jennifer Davenport challenging a Trump administration policy affecting TANF recipients, a three-alarm fire at an IHOP in Hasbrouck Heights, a New Jersey poker pro competing for a $10 million prize, new statewide housing resources for veterans, a rabid groundhog attack in Atlantic County, and a Cape May County Zoo contest to name a newborn zebra. Plus, we speak with Evan and Zack Dabby about Every Kick Counts and their mission to support athletes with special needs, Assemblyman Gerry Scharfenberger about voter registration and election integrity, fashion expert Dawn Del Russo about the upside-down baseball cap trend, Rutgers physician Dr. Renyu Liu about using film to raise stroke awareness, and growth advisor Brandon Pipkin about redefining success and avoiding burnout.
