THEN WE’RE GETTING OUR BODIES MOVING WITH THE HELP OF MOVEMENT AND MUSIC INSTRUCTOR ANITA SPORE. NOW THAT SUMMER VACATION IS HERE, SHE’S GOING TO BE WALKING US THROUGH SOME WAYS THAT GRANDPARENTS CAN GET ACTIVE WITH THEIR GRANDKIDS. I LOVE THIS AND I LOVE ANITA. SHE’S PHENOMENAL. >>SHE IS, YEAH, AN ICON AND A LEGEND. SHE IS. AND THEN COMING UP, WE’RE TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT ONE COSMETIC SURGERY THAT’S RAISING EYEBROWS AND HEADS TO WE’RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT COMING UP IN TODAY’S TRENDING NOW. >>OH BOY I’M EXCITED. BUT BEFORE ALL OF THAT, WE DO WANT TO GET A CHECK OF SOME OF OUR TOP LOCAL HEADLINES. STEPHANNIE JOSEPH. NOW, WITH YOUR WEDNESDAY MORNING NEWS BREAK. >>WELL GOOD MORNING THERE GUYS. WE DO BEGIN WITH PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS THERE IN IN ROCHESTER, MAYOR MALIK EVANS IS CLAIMING VICTORY IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY FOR ROCHESTER MAYOR. NOW THE INCUMBENT HELD ON TO A LEAD LAST NIGHT OVER TWO CHALLENGERS, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER MARY LUPIEN AND BUSINESSMAN SHASHI SINHA. HE NEXT MOVES ON TO FACE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CANDIDATE LUIS SABO IN NOVEMBER’S GENERAL ELECTION. WE EXPECT TO HEAR FROM MAYOR EVANS LATER THIS MORNING AND WE’LL HAVE MORE ON 13WHAM NEWS AND 13WHAM.COM. AN UPSET IN ONTARIO COUNTY. UNOFFICIAL RESULTS ARE IN FROM THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY INCUMBENT D.A. JIM RITZ, COMING UP SHORT BY 115 VOTES TO JASON MCBRIDE. RITZ SAYS IT’S TOO EARLY TO CONCEDE. ROCHESTER POLICE ARE LOOKING FOR SUSPECTS IN THREE OVERNIGHT STABBINGS. A 35 YEAR OLD WOMAN WAS STABBED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE UPPER BODY JUST AFTER 1030 ON HUDSON AVENUE AND AROUND MIDNIGHT. TWO PEOPLE, A 67 YEAR OLD MAN AND A 50 YEAR OLD WOMAN WERE STABBED ON JEFFERSON AVENUE. ALL THREE ARE EXPECTED TO SURVIVE. REPAIRS ARE FINALLY SET TO BEGIN ON THE GILLETTE BRIDGE IN OGDEN. TOWN OFFICIALS ANNOUNCING THAT THE BRIDGE REPAIRS WILL BE PAID FOR BY CSX. THE MORE THAN 18 MONTH CLOSURE HAS CAUSED SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC DELAYS, IMPACTING EMERGENCY RESPONSE TIMES IN THAT AREA. WORK IS EXPECTED TO LAST 6 TO 8 WEEKS. A QUICK NOTE FOR EAST HIGH SCHOOL FAMILIES TODAY. THE SCHOOL WILL BE CLOSED DUE TO ONGOING POWER OUTAGES. STUDENTS THAT WERE SCHEDULED TO TAKE THE ALGEBRA REGENTS TEST WILL BE BUSED TO SCHOOL 33 AND BROUGHT BACK TO EAST AFTER THE EXAM. THE LOWER SCHOOL WILL BE CLOSED AS WELL. FOR ALL THESE TOP STORIES AND ANY UPDATES, BE SURE TO VISIT 13WHAM.COM. BACK TO YOU. >>ALL RIGHT STEPH THANK YOU. WE’LL SWITCH GEARS NOW AND GET A LOOK AT OUR WEDNESDAY FORECAST. A SLIGHT DROP IN THOSE HOT TEMPERATURES BUT STILL VERY VERY SUMMERLIKE. >>YES STILL A BIT ABOVE AVERAGE OUT THERE TODAY. METEOROLOGIST MARTY SNYDER. JOINING US NOW WITH A LOOK AT THAT. I GUESS YOU COULD CALL IT A BREAK, BUT IT’S NOT REALLY A BREAK. IT’S JUST LESS INTENSE. >>VERY TRUE. YEAH. IT’S ALL RELATIVE AND RELATIVE TO WHAT WE HAVE BEEN SEEING. YEAH, IT IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE DROP BACK IN TEMPERATURES, BUT WITH SOME OF THAT HAZY SUNSHINE THAT WILL WORK IN, WE’RE STILL GOING TO SEE NUMBERS MOVE ALONG PRETTY WELL, EVEN JUST DURING LAST HOUR. SAW A NICE INCREASE IN TEMPERATURES UP TO 77 ALREADY. HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THE AVERAGE HIGH IS ABOUT 80, SO ONLY A FEW DEGREES TO GET ADDED TO THAT TO PUT US UP TO AVERAGE AND WE’RE GOING TO EXCEED THAT NUMBER. DEW POINT THAT’S ON ITS WAY DOWN WAS A LITTLE HIGHER INTO THE 60S EARLIER THIS MORNING. THAT HAS STARTED THAT DOWNWARD TREND AND THAT WILL CONTINUE TODAY. SO THE NET EFFECT DURING THE AFTERNOON IS GOING TO BE A SLIGHTLY LOWER HIGH TEMPERATURE. AND EVEN THE HUMIDITY IS GOING TO PULL BACK A LITTLE BIT AS WE HEAD DEEPER INTO THE DAY. SO WE HAVE A COUPLE LITTLE MINOR FACTORS COMING TOGETHER TO MAKE TODAY FEEL NOT QUITE AS HOT AS WHERE WE HAVE BEEN RECENTLY. AND I THINK EVEN TOMORROW WE SEE NUMBERS PULL BACK JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE, DOWN TO ABOUT 76 THEN AND THEN LONGER TERM, THOSE NUMBERS DO RISE BACK INTO THE 80S AND TURNING A LITTLE MORE SUMMER LIKE FOR THE LONGER TERM, PROBABLY SOME UPPER 80S BY EARLY NEXT WEEK, LIKELY A LITTLE BELOW WHAT WE HAVE BEEN SEEING OVER SOME RECENT DAYS, BUT STILL A LOT MORE SUMMER LIKE WEATHER IN STORE FOR US AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK OR SO. A COUPLE LITTLE MINOR CHANGES HERE AND THERE, BUT IN GENERAL WE DO WARM THINGS UP AGAIN INTO NEXT WEEK. >>ZERO COMPLAINTS. >>YEAH YEAH YEAH. LISTEN, WE PAID FOR THIS AND WE WERE WE WERE TORTURED. IT WAS IT WAS WATERBOARDING BY WINTER. AND HERE WE ARE NOW. AND WE DESERVE EVERY BIT OF THIS HEAT AND HUMIDITY. MARTY. >>YEAH, IT’S GOING TO BE UP THERE. THE NICE THING IS, I THINK WE’RE GOING TO REACH THAT NICE MEDIUM AREA WHERE THE HUMIDITY IS GOING TO BE DOWN A LITTLE BIT, TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE DOWN, BUT PROBABLY IN AN AREA THAT I THINK MORE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LIKE VERSUS WHAT JUST SOME OF US HAVE LIKED OVER SOME OF THE RECENT DAYS. >>ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SIR. >>OKAY. ALL RIGHT. >>WE’LL GO OFF THE TOP NOW AND START WITH SOME THINGS THAT HAVE PIQUED OUR INTEREST THIS MORNING. I WILL START OFF TODAY. SO YESTERDAY WE TALKED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF CALLING AND ASKING FOR HELP IF YOU NEED IT. RIGHT. CAN HELP YOU GET OUT OF A DANGEROUS OR UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION. IF YOU PICK UP THE PHONE AND GIVE SOMEONE A CALL. SPECIFICALLY YESTERDAY WE TALKED ABOUT THE CHARGES A MAN IS FACING AFTER HE GOT STUCK IN A CHIMNEY WHILE TRYING TO RESCUE HIS DOG FROM A LOCKED PARK BATHROOM. IF YOU DIDN’T SEE THE STORY, YOU REALLY MISSED OUT. CLEARLY, HE GOT HIMSELF IN A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TROUBLE AND GOT A BILL FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS. IT ALL COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF HE JUST REACHED OUT TO PARK RANGERS. SO NOW TODAY, A FLORIDA BOATER TOOK THAT CALL FOR HELP MESSAGE A LITTLE TOO SERIOUSLY AND IS ALSO FACING CHARGES. HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED. HE CALLED FIRST RESPONDERS AND SAID THAT HIS AIRBOAT WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. HE NEEDED HELP, BUT COULDN’T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. ALL HE KNEW IS THAT HE GOT INTO A WRECK. SO WHEN CREWS GOT TO THE DISTRESSED BOAT, CALL THE FIRE RESCUE MARINE UNIT AND OTHER AGENCIES RUSHED OUT TO REACH HIM. THIS IS VIDEO FROM THAT RESCUE. BUT SOME OF THE RESPONDERS STRUGGLED TO GET TO HIS LOCATION. YOU CAN SEE KIND OF WHAT IT IS THAT THEY’RE WORKING WITH HERE. THEY ARE DRIVING THAT VESSEL THROUGH A MARSH. THEY’RE DIGGING THROUGH SOME OF THE MUCK AND THE MUD. THEY’RE ABOUT EVEN GETTING STUCK FOR A LITTLE WHILE. THEY HAD TO DIG THROUGH TO GET IT ALL OUT. SO THE CALLER REPORTEDLY TOLD AUTHORITIES HE FLIPPED. HIS VESSEL WAS INJURED AND HIS PASSENGER WAS HURT AND MISSING. BUT ONE OF THE FIRST RESPONDERS FINALLY REACHED HIM AFTER MAKING THAT TREK OUT TO GET HIM, AND THEY FOUND OUT THERE WAS NO CRASH. THERE WAS NO MISSING PASSENGER, AND NO ONE WAS ACTUALLY HURT. IT TURNS OUT THIS GUY, DEREK HOWARD, SIMPLY RAN OUT OF GAS AND MADE UP THE STORY TO GET SOME HELP QUICKLY. THIS IS ALL ACCORDING TO AUTHORITIES. THERE HE IS. AUTHORITIES ENDED UP GETTING IN CONTACT WITH HIS FRIENDS WHO FESSED UP. THEY SAY HE RAN OUT OF GAS. HOWEVER, HE CLAIMS HE REMEMBERS NOTHING ABOUT THE INCIDENT. >>SO SOMETHING TELLS ME THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOME ALCOHOL. >>THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOME ALCOHOL INVOLVED. BUT THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS DON’T BE RUDE. DON’T BE RUDE. I MEAN, COME ON, THAT’S RIDICULOUS. YEAH, YOU’RE WASTING RESOURCES. >>YOU’RE WASTING RESOURCES. YOU’RE. AND WHEN YOU WASTE THOSE RESOURCES AND THE STATE DECIDES THAT YOU WASTED THOSE RESOURCES, YOU ARE THEN STUCK WITH THAT BILL. >>YEAH. AND HERE’S THE THING, TOO. I MEAN, I THINK PROBABLY IF HE HAD CALLED SOMEBODY LIKE, YOU KNOW, 911 OR WHATEVER AND SAID, HEY, I’M OUT HERE, I RAN OUT OF GAS. IT’S NOT AN EMERGENCY. BUT IF YOU COULD HELP ME GET IN CONTACT WITH SOMEBODY OR THE NON-EMERGENCY LINE OR WHATEVER IT IS, THEY PROBABLY COULD HAVE FIGURED IT OUT WITH HIM. >>OR SAID, I’M AFRAID OF ALLIGATORS, AND I THINK THEY MIGHT BE OUT HERE. THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE COME AND SAID, OKAY, WE UNDERSTAND IT. >>YEAH. ACCIDENTS HAPPEN. >>YEAH. >>BUT THAT THAT’S INSANE. YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED, YOU’RE OUT THERE, YOU’RE HAVING YOUR DAY AT WORK, WHATEVER. YOU GET YOUR BOAT STUCK IN THE MUD ALL WHILE YOU’RE, LIKE, FRANTICALLY TRYING TO GET TO THIS PLACE, THINKING SOMEBODY’S. >>THE WORST ABOUT THIS. THIS MISSING AND INJURED PASSENGER. >>YES. AND THIS OTHER GUY WHO’S CALLING FOR HELP FRANTICALLY. YOU GET THERE AND IT’S ALL JUST A CHARGE. HIM HE IS. YEAH, HE IS FACING CHARGES, BUT HOW WILD IS THAT? >>IT’S CRAZY. >>CLASSIC STORY OUT OF FLORIDA RIGHT THERE. ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE MARSH AND THE SWAMP. >>ANY STORY THAT STARTS WITH A FLORIDA MAN OR A FLORIDA WOMAN YOU KNOW IS GOING TO BE A DOOZY. >>IT’S GOING TO BE AWESOME. USUALLY WHEN I’M LOOKING FOR THESE STORIES, I USUALLY GO, RIGHT. >>DO YOU JUST TYPE THAT INTO GOOGLE AND SEE WHAT STORY POPS UP FIRST? >>I SHOULD I SHOULD START DOING THAT. NO, I USUALLY I’LL SCROLL A LITTLE BIT, BUT THEN IF I’M LIKE REALLY COMING UP SHORT, I’LL BE LIKE, HEY. >>YEAH. >>CHECK OUT WHAT’S GOING ON DOWN IN MIAMI. >>THINGS HAPPEN DOWN THERE. THEY CERTAINLY DO. YEAH. ALL RIGHT, LET’S MOVE ALONG TO MY STORY FOR MY OFF THE TOP. YOU KNOW, THOSE LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES THAT ARE IN FRONT YARDS AND PARKS? WELL, NOW THERE’S A NEW VERSION. SO SMILE WORTHY. IT COULD ONLY START WITH OUR FOUR LEGGED FRIENDS IN STOCKTON SPRINGS, MAINE. A PUBLIC WORKS CREW UNVEILED SANDY POINT BEACH’S FIRST DOG LIBRARY. YOU DON’T NEED TO CHECK OUT CARD FOR ANYTHING. THERE ARE NO LATE FEES BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS JUST FILLED WITH TENNIS … AND STICKS. >>IT’S AMAZING IDEA. >>SO THE IDEA CAME FROM THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR GEORGE RUSSELL, WHO KNEW A RESIDENT TENNIS PLAYER WITH AN OVERABUNDANCE OF TENNIS … IN A COMMUNITY THAT LOVES THEIR DOGS. THE IDEA, I GUESS, SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE ON FACEBOOK, ONE DOG OWNER SAYS HER PUP, IZZY, IS IN HEAVEN WITH A BALL WHILE PLAYING IN THE SAND. BUT THIS COMMUNITY IS NOT ALONE. THIS DOG LIBRARY IDEA IS POPPING UP ALL OVER FROM THE BEACHES OF SOUTH CAROLINA ALL THE WAY TO NEW ZEALAND. DOG STICK LIBRARIES ARE SPROUTING UP WHEREVER PUPS PLAY, PLAY, FETCH. THEY HAVE BECOME SO POPULAR. IF YOU WANT ONE AT HOME, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GOOGLE DOG STICK LIBRARY. YOU’LL ACTUALLY FIND SMALL BUSINESSES OUT THERE THAT MAKE THESE THINGS LIKE TITO’S DOG STICK LIBRARY. I PRICED THEM OUT. THEY’RE LIKE 400 BUCKS. YOU CAN MAKE THEM THOUGH. YOU CAN MAKE THIS AT HOME. AND WHEN SUPPLIES GET LOW, LISTEN, PUBLIC WORKS, THEY JUST RESTOCK IT WITH … AND MORE. YOU SEE THEM THERE, FRESH STICKS TO CHEW ON AND TO FETCH. THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS, THOUGH, IS THAT IT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER. DOG OWNERS GET TO BOND WHILE THEIR PUPS PLAY TOGETHER NORMALLY. NORMALLY, LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES HAVE BEEN ABOUT THE COMMUNITY AND ABOUT COMMUNITY AND SHARING AND SURPRISES ON NICE WALKS. NOW THERE ARE LITERAL BRANCHES FOR DOGS, SO WHETHER YOU’RE A DOG LOVER OR JUST A FAN OF JOY, THIS STORY I THINK, IS WHERE IT’S AT. BECAUSE HOW CAN YOU NOT SMILE WHEN YOU SEE THOSE DOGS? SO TRUE. SNIFFING AROUND THE LIBRARY. WHICH STICK AM I CHECKING OUT TODAY? >>I LOVE IT, MY MOM HAS ONE OF THOSE LITTLE LIBRARIES. DOES SHE? YEAH. >>WITH BOOKS. >>YEAH. OKAY. WELL, OKAY. YEAH. SO MY PARENTS, THEY LIVE, LIKE, WAY OFF IN THE DEEP MOUNTAINS OF TENNESSEE, AND THEY GET A LOT OF WALKERS AND HIKERS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. AND MY MOM SET UP A LITTLE LIBRARY, AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REALLY NICE ABOUT COMING AND TAKING A BOOK. LEAVING A BOOK, YOU KNOW, THAT WHOLE THING EXCEPT MY MOM AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME LEFT A LITTLE DISH OF CANDY IN THERE, TOO, LIKE, OH, HELP YOURSELF TO A LITTLE. SOMEBODY JUST TOOK THE WHOLE THING. >>WHOLE. THE DISH INCLUDED? >>YES, THE DISH INCLUDED. >>HOW WILD IS THAT? I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT’S IT IS WHAT IT IS. WHATEVER. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, SHE SHE WAS LAUGHING ABOUT IT. SHE WASN’T DEEPLY UPSET. IT’S JUST SO FUNNY. >>BUT ALL THE SAME, LIKE, IT’S OBVIOUS WHEN THERE’S A DISH OF CANDY, YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE ENTIRE THING, NO MATTER WHERE IT IS. COMMON SENSE, THE DENTIST’S OFFICE OR A LITTLE FREE LIBRARY. YEAH. YOU DON’T GO TO THE LITTLE FREE LIBRARY AND TAKE ALL OF THE BOOKS. >>THIS WAS NOT ANYTHING TO MAKE YOU UPSET. I WAS JUST SHARING A LITTLE ANECDOTE. AND THE DOG LIBRARY. >>IS AMAZING. IT HAS. >>LET’S STAY HAPPY. LET’S STAY CHEERFUL. >>EVERYTHING’S GREAT. >>CAN WE JUST LOOK AT THAT VIDEO ONE MORE TIME? I JUST WANT TO SEE THOSE DOGS. CHECKING OUT THE STICKS, CHECKING OUT THOSE TENNIS …. THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE. >>PICKLEBALL IN THERE, TOO. >>THEY DID HAVE PICKLEBALL IN THEIR. LOOK AT THIS. >>I MEAN. >>HOW MUCH FUN WOULD THIS BE? SUPER FUN TO BE WALKING ALONG WITH YOUR DOG. YEAH. >>ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVED NEAR A BEACH OR A PARK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. >>YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. OR IT’S THE PERFECT LITTLE LIBRARY. >>YEAH, THAT WAS. >>GOOD PLAY ON WORDS, ASHLEY, I LIKE IT. >>THAT SOUNDED AWFUL. >>YEAH. >>TRY IT AGAIN. >>OH, NO, IT’S THE MIC. IT JUST SOUNDED. IT SOUNDED. THANK YOU. THERE WE GO. HEY. STICK AROUND. WE’VE GOT A LOT MORE TO COME RIGHT HERE ON AAC ROCHESTER, INCLUDING WHEN WE COME BACK. WE ARE CHECKING IN WITH CHRIS LOPEZ, WHO’S MEETING SOME NEW FURRY FRIENDS THIS WEDNESDAY MORNING. >>DON’T FORGET, TAKE US ON THE GO WHEREVER YOU ARE. WE’RE STREAMING LIVE RIGHT NOW ON THE 13WHAM YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND FOX ROCHESTER.ORG DOT COM. WE’RE BACK AFTER THIS. >>RIGHT HERE IN MONROE COUNTY. WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE SO MANY GROUPS THAT HELP RESCUE STRAY ANIMALS, ONE OF WHICH IS A GROUP IN GREECE CALLED GRASS. >>YEAH, THEY’VE BEEN HELPING DOGS AND CATS FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS WITH THE HELP OF FUNDRAISERS AND VERY GENEROUS PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. CHRIS LOPEZ DO YOU WANT TO SAY IT TOGETHER? >>SORRY, CHRIS LOPEZ IS. >>LIVE THIS MORNING LEARNING HOW PEOPLE CAN HELP OUT WITH THE MISSION. HE’S OUTSIDE THE STUDIOS. CHRIS, WHY DON’T YOU BRING THOSE ANIMALS IN HERE? MY GOODNESS. >>THEY’RE THEY’RE. I GUESS THEY’RE NICE AND THEY’RE NICE AND RELAXED OUT HERE. I HAVE DELIA HERE THAT’S BEEN SLEEPING THROUGHOUT THE MORNING. SHE’S ALL RELAXED AND WATSON BEGGING FOR EVERYONE’S ATTENTION. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, HE’S ALL GOOD TO GO. I’M ALSO WITH MICHAEL. I’M ALSO WITH JESS FROM GRASP. VOLUNTEERISM THOUGH FOR YOU GUYS. BIG THING. YOU GUYS OPERATE A LOT ON VOLUNTEERS COMING TO YOU GUYS TO HELP OUT, BUT YOU DID. WHAT STARTED YOUR JOURNEY WITH GRASP. >>SO THIS LITTLE GUY OVER HERE IS WATSON. HE’S MY DOG. HE WAS FOUND ROAMING THE STREETS OF GREECE. HE WAS OVERGROWN. HE WAS UNDERWEIGHT, AND ANIMAL CONTROL PICKED HIM UP. AND HE DID HIS REQUISITE TIME IN LOCKUP. AND THEY REACH OUT TO RESCUE GROUPS. WHEN THAT WHEN THAT HAPPENS. AND GRASP TOOK HIM IN AND ADOPTED HIM TO ME, IF THEY HADN’T DONE THAT, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN EUTHANIZED. >>AND THERE’S MANY WAYS TO HELP YOU GUYS VOLUNTEER, RIGHT? CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENT WAYS PEOPLE CAN GO ABOUT IT? BECAUSE IT’S NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, ONE WAY COMING TO HELP YOU GUYS OUT, FOR INSTANCE, ON THE GARAGE SALE TOMORROW. >>YEAH, WELL, WE’RE 100% VOLUNTEER. THERE’S NO ONE WHO’S EVEN REIMBURSED, LET ALONE PAID IN OUR ORGANIZATION. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO DO ALL SORTS OF THINGS. ONE OF THEM IS TO, WORK AT OUR GARAGE SALE TOMORROW TO RAISE MONEY TO CARE FOR THE ANIMALS. BUT WE ALSO NEED PEOPLE. WE NEED LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE FOSTERS. I’M A FOSTER. SHE’S A FOSTER. WE CAN ONLY TAKE AS MANY ANIMALS, AND WE CAN ONLY SAVE AS MANY ANIMALS AS WE HAVE FOSTERS FOR. >>AND CAN YOU GUYS SPEAK ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR PEOPLE TO FOSTER? SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE, WELL, I WANT TO HELP OUT, BUT I JUST REALLY CAN’T ADOPT AT ALL. AND FOSTERING IS PRETTY MUCH THE SECOND BEST, RIGHT? >>ABSOLUTELY. SO FOSTERING IS INVALUABLE TO THE PERSON WHO FOSTERS AS WELL AS THE ANIMALS. LIKE MICHAEL SAID, YOU KNOW, WE DON’T HAVE A FACILITY WHERE THESE ANIMALS CAN CAN BE HELD. ALSO, WE WANT THEM TO KNOW THE LOVE OF HAVING A FAMILY. WE CAN GET A REALLY GOOD SENSE OF WHO THAT ANIMAL IS, BY HAVING THEM IN A FOSTER HOME. SO, SOME OF OUR FOSTERS, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE THEY RENT OR THEY DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY’RE GOING TO BE IN A YEAR, SO THEY’RE NOT QUITE READY TO ADOPT AN ANIMAL. BUT THEY HAVE A YEAR TO GIVE. SO, IN THAT TIME, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN FOSTER, WHO KNOWS, 12 ANIMALS, AND, AND HELP THOSE ANIMALS, ON THEIR JOURNEY TO FIND THEIR FOREVER HOME. SO IT REALLY IS AN INVALUABLE THING. AND AS A FOSTER PARENT, YOU GET A LOT OUT OF IT, TOO. YOU KNOW, KNOWING THAT YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF 1 TO 100 OR MORE. >>AND I KNOW YOU GUYS HATE THE TERM, BUT I ACTUALLY JUST LEARNED ABOUT IT. FAILED FOSTER. IT’S NOT A BAD THING. IT’S A GOOD THING. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THAT TO ME OR JUST REARRANGE THAT TERM IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO? >>I ALSO, I KIND OF HATE THE TERM, BUT IT’S A FUNNY TERM FOSTER FAIL. IT MEANS THAT WHEN YOU ARE FOSTERING AN ANIMAL AND YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE LEARNING ABOUT IT, GIVING IT A SAFE SPACE SO THAT IT CAN BE SENT INTO AN ADOPTIVE HOME. BUT YOU FALL MADLY IN LOVE. THEY’RE PERFECT FOR YOUR HOME, AND WE CALL IT A FOSTER FAIL. THAT’S ACTUALLY, I THINK IT’S A FOSTER SUCCESS. >>AND THEN, TOMORROW, YOU GUYS, THE GARAGE SALE. WHERE CAN PEOPLE GO TO? HOW CAN PEOPLE HELP OUT? >>YEAH. SO THE DETAILS ARE ON OUR WEBSITE, GRASP INC.ORG, BUT IT’S ALSO AT 40 HEATHER LANE IN GREECE. AND WE’RE THERE FROM 9 TO 4 TOMORROW. TOMORROW IS LOOKING LIKE THE BEST DAY WE’RE GOING TO HAVE GOOD WEATHER. AND WE NEED TO RAISE MONEY SO THAT WE CAN ADOPT THESE ANIMALS. SO 40 HEATHER LANE AND GREECE. >>AND IT’S A REAL GARAGE SALE. I THOUGHT IT WAS. THAT WAS LIKE JUST THE TITLE OF THE ACTUAL FUNDRAISER. NOPE. YOU GUYS, IT’S A FULL ON GARAGE SALE. WHAT DO YOU GUYS WHAT CAN IF PEOPLE WANT TO SHOW UP AND BUY STUFF, WHAT CAN WHAT CAN THEY EXPECT? >>IT’S NOT JUST A GARAGE SALE. IT’S A GINORMOUS GARAGE SALE AND IT’S PART OF AN ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE’S GOING TO BE MANY STREETS THAT ARE INVOLVED. SO WE’RE WE’RE PIGGYBACKING ON TOP OF THAT SUCCESS. BUT THERE’S ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD NORMALLY FIND AT A GARAGE SALE WE’RE GOING TO BE SELLING THERE, AND ALL THE PROCEEDS ARE GOING TO GO TO ANIMALS LIKE DELIA. >>AND THEN THERE’S KITTEN SHOWER HAPPENING ON SATURDAY. CAN YOU BREAK THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT FOR US? YES. >>YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO AT THE GATES PUBLIC LIBRARY THIS SATURDAY FROM 11 TO 1, THERE WILL BE ADOPTABLE KITTENS AS WELL AS A SMALL GROUP OF, OF OUR VOLUNTEERS THERE. SO WE’LL BE COLLECTING, YOU KNOW, IT’S JUST LIKE A BABY SHOWER FOR HUMAN, RIGHT? COLLECTING ALL THE SUPPLIES THAT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO KEEP TAKING CARE OF ALL THESE KITTENS. SO ANYTHING FROM KITTEN FOOD FORMULA TO BEDS OR PLAYPENS OR, NON-CLUMPING KITTY LITTER, SMALL LITTER BOXES, THINGS LIKE THAT. ANY SORT OF SUPPLIES, THAT WE CAN USE TO HELP TAKE CARE OF ALL OF OUR KITTENS. THERE WILL BE SOME KITTENS THAT ARE READY TO BE ADOPTED. SO IF YOU HAVE AN APPLICATION ON FILE WITH US ALREADY APPROVED, YOU CAN TAKE HOME A KITTEN THAT DAY. AND THAT CAN BE FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE AS WELL, THE APPLICATION. >>AND THEN WE’LL HAVE INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE TOO, ON FOX ROCHESTER AS WELL AS 13WHAM WATSON, I FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. DO YOU WANT TO SEND IT BACK TO STUDIO? THAT’S LOUD ENOUGH. IT’S LOUD. I NEVER HEARD THAT. BUT THAT’S BACK TO YOU. DAN AND ABBY. >>VERY CUTE. >>SO SWEET. >>WHAT’S THE PUPPY’S NAME? ONE MORE TIME. CHRIS. >>THIS IS WATSON HERE. THIS IS PRIM AND PROPER. WATSON, IF YOU’RE NOT PETTING HIM, HE’S GONNA GET ANGRY. HE FEELS LIKE HE’S GOT TO SAY SOMETHING. OH, THERE WE GO. YEP. >>HE’S SAYING I WANT TO GET DOWN TO GET THAT MICROPHONE OUT OF MY FACE. >>AND I’M READY FOR BREAKFAST. >>YES, ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU SIR. >>HEY, WHEN WE COME BACK, A LOT MORE TO GET TO, INCLUDING WEATHER TRIVIA. >>YEAH. MARK MCCLAIN WILL JOIN US COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK. >>HEY. WELCOME BACK. MARK IS JOINING US NOW WITH A LOOK AT TODAY’S SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES. EVERYTHING’S RELATIVE RIGHT? IT’S STILL VERY SUMMER. >>IT’S FUNNY WHAT YOU GET USED TO AFTER A WHILE, RIGHT? YEAH, ESPECIALLY THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. YOU KNOW, THE TEMPERATURE CAN SWAY BACK AND FORTH, YOU KNOW, TEN, 20 DEGREES IN A DAY. BUT I GUESS THE THEME LATELY HAS BEEN 90 DEGREE WARMTH, RIGHT? YEAH. I MEAN, IT. >>WAS THREE DAYS OF. >>IT, THREE DAYS IN A ROW. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THAT FOR OUR WEATHER TRIVIA AND KEEP WITH THAT 90 DEGREE THEME THAT WE OFFICIALLY HAD THREE STRAIGHT DAYS IN THE 90S. BUT WHAT IS THE LATEST DATE THAT ROCHESTER HAS EVER EXPERIENCED? 90 DEGREE WARMTH IN THE YEAR? THE CHOICES. ARE SEPTEMBER 20TH, SEPTEMBER 29TH, OCTOBER 1ST, AND OCTOBER 5TH. >>GOT IT. YOU KNOW THIS. >>I. >>DO ABSOLUTELY KNOW THIS. >>I DO. I THINK. >>YOU GOT YEAH. >>YEAH I’M FEELING PRETTY GOOD. >>EVEN WITHOUT CLUES. >>ABSOLUTELY. >>YEAH. >>I MEAN I’LL TAKE A CLUE AND I’M. >>I’M GOING TO TELL YOU WHY. >>BECAUSE BECAUSE I’VE PROBABLY ALREADY SAID THIS ON THE AIR 20 TIMES. >>WE WENT WE WENT OVER THIS QUESTION SLASH ANSWER IN CONVERSATION, I DON’T KNOW, THREE MONTHS AGO. >>OKAY. YEAH. >>I’M SURE. >>I’M SURE IT CAME OUT IN A CONVERSATION WEATHER WISE. >>HOW DO YOU REMEMBER SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED THREE MONTHS AGO? I DON’T EVEN REMEMBER YESTERDAY. >>WELL, NEITHER DO I, BUT DON’T YOU HAVE, LIKE, STUPID THINGS THAT JUST TAKE UP SPACE IN YOUR BRAIN FOR NO REASON? >>YEAH, WEATHER MEMORY IS SHORT, TOO. LIKE I CAN’T, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE CAN’T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED A WEEK AGO. BUT IF IT WAS A HISTORIC OR SIGNIFICANT WEATHER EVENT, EVERYBODY REMEMBERS IT. IF THEY REMEMBER THE ICE STORM, THEY REMEMBER THE SUPERSTORM, THEY REMEMBER, YOU KNOW, ALL THAT STUFF. BUT BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED OR WHAT YOU HAD FOR DINNER LAST WEEK. WHO KNOWS? RIGHT. YEAH. I MEAN, THAT’S THAT’S THE WAY IT GOES. THAT’S THE WAY IT GOES AND WEATHER, BUT YEAH, IT’S STILL GOING TO BE WARM OUT THERE. YOU’RE STILL GOING TO GET YOUR, YOUR POOL WEATHER, YOU KNOW, IT’S STILL GOING TO BE IN THE 80S TODAY. WE HAD THREE STRAIGHT DAYS YESTERDAY THAT SAYS TODAY IT SHOULD SAY YESTERDAY 93 DEGREES. SO LAST SUMMER WE ACTUALLY HAD EIGHT DAYS IN THE 90S. SO THAT’S THAT’S PRETTY GOOD. AND IT’S BEEN A WARM STREAK LATELY. WATCH THE THE BAR GRAPH A LOT OF THESE BARS HAVE GONE UP LATELY AND AND JUNE WAS RUNNING COOL MID MID MONTH. WE HAD A COUPLE OF COOL DAYS IN THERE. YOU KNOW I WAS STARTING TO GET QUESTIONS OF IS THIS WHAT THE SUMMER IS GOING TO BE LIKE? YOU KNOW, FOLKS WANTED TO KNOW IT WAS A COOL AND WET MAY IN WESTERN NEW YORK. AND THINGS HAVE REALLY TURNED AROUND. SO WE’RE ABOUT 2.1 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL NOW. FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE 77TH NOW, AND IT FEELS LIKE 79, THE DEW POINT TEMPERATURE HAS COME DOWN A LITTLE BIT FROM WHERE IT WAS YESTERDAY, ALTHOUGH THAT TEMPERATURE IS STILL PRETTY CLOSE TO WHERE WE WERE YESTERDAY MORNING AT THIS POINT. AND WE’RE WATCHING AREAS WEST, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS SHOWING UP THERE TRYING TO POP UP. WE THINK A LOT OF THIS IS GOING TO SINK SOUTH AND FADE AS IT TRIES TO MOVE INTO WESTERN NEW YORK, SO, SO WE DO THINK MOST AREAS WILL STAY DRY, FOR TODAY. BUT THERE IS A FRONT REALLY JUST STALLED RIGHT ON TOP OF US. AND WITH THAT, AROUND THE NEXT FEW DAYS, THERE IS GOING TO BE A SHOWER CHANCE BACK IN THE FORECAST. SO, YOU KNOW, GO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SOME SPOTS SOUTH OF ROCHESTER MAY SEE JUST THE SLIGHTEST CHANCE OF A SHOWER OVERNIGHT. TONIGHT, THE CLOUDS COME BACK IN AND WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH THAT. YOU SAW SOME SHOWERS MOVE BY FOR THURSDAY MORNING. THE AFTERNOON DRIES OUT. AND THEN FOR FRIDAY, I THINK THE COVERAGE OF SHOWERS STARTS TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE WIDESPREAD AS A WARM FRONT MOVES BACK ACROSS THE AREA. SO, SOMETHING TO CONSIDER THERE. BUT, YOU KNOW, YESTERDAY WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, WHAT, 93, 94 AT THAT 2:00 HOUR ON THE FORECAST IN THE 4:00 HOUR. AND BOY, IT WAS HOT. THE BREEZE OUT THERE JUST IT WAS JUST A HOT DAY. 6:00, 82 WILL DROP BACK THROUGH THE 70S. THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, WE’RE GOING TO DROP BACK. IT’S, STILL STILL A WARM NIGHT. WE’LL SEE. TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 60S. THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST HAS 76 FOR THURSDAY, 82 FOR FRIDAY, 82 FOR SATURDAY. THERE’S A RAIN CHANCE HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND, BUT IT’S NOT A WASHOUT. LOTS OF WEDDINGS, LOTS OF GRADUATIONS THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. SUNDAYS AT 86 AND UPPER 80S FOR NEXT WEEK. YOU SEE MONDAY, TUESDAY BACK INTO THE TROPICAL TROPICAL CATEGORY, BUT NOT QUITE AS HOT AS WHAT WE JUST EXPERIENCED OVER THE LAST THREE DAYS. >>SUNDAY LOOKS LIKE THE IDEAL DAY FOR THAT OUTDOOR PARTY. >>BARBECUE, RIGHT? IT’S GREAT FOR OUTDOOR PLANS. AND IF YOU WANT TO GET UP TO THE BEACH, YOU WANT TO YOU WANT TO COOL OFF, SIT BY THE POOL, JUST CHILL OUT. IT’LL BE NICE. >>YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. >>FOR SURE. HEY, I’M GOING TO NEED YOU TO DO ME A FAVOR TONIGHT. I NEED YOU OR THIS AFTERNOON. I NEED YOU TO WALK PAST MY HOUSE AND TAKE A LOOK AT MY NEW HYDRANGEA THAT’S OUT FRONT. >>OKAY? >>OKAY. TELL ME WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT. IT’S NOT THE PLANTER ONE. THAT ONE IS LONG DEAD BY NOW. YEAH. >>THERE’S A NEW FLORAL. SO THAT WAS A FLORAL HYDRANGEA. >>THIS IS AN ACTUAL REAL LIFE. HYDRANGEA GOES IN THE GROUND. >>WHAT’S IT DOING? IT’S WILTING. >>YEAH, IT WAS DOING GREAT. AND WE DID THE FERTILIZER AND WE DID ALL THE STUFF. AND NOW IT’S COLOR IS FADING.

WE BASICALLY HAVE TWO COUNTRIES THAT HAVE BEEN FIGHTING SO LONG AND SO HARD THAT THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THE THEY’RE DOING. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? >>TUESDAY MORNING, A FRUSTRATED PRESIDENT TRUMP TRYING TO HOLD TOGETHER THE DELICATE CEASE FIRE PLAN BETWEEN ISRAEL AND IRAN THAT HE ANNOUNCED MONDAY NIGHT. >>NOT HAPPY THAT ISRAEL IS GOING OUT NOW, THERE WAS ONE ROCKET THAT I GUESS WAS FIRED OVERBOARD. IT WAS AFTER THE TIME LIMIT AND IT MISSED ITS TARGET. I THINK THEY BOTH VIOLATED IT. I DON’T THINK THEY I’M NOT SURE THEY DID IT INTENTIONALLY. THEY COULDN’T REIGN PEOPLE BACK. >>BOTH ISRAEL AND IRAN SAY THEY STAND READY TO RESPOND DECISIVELY SHOULD THE OTHER VIOLATE THE CEASE FIRE. >>ARE YOU CONFIDENT THAT THIS MIGHT NOT HAPPEN AGAIN, SAY, IN A COUPLE WEEKS THAT. >>I’M TIRED OF IT? I THINK THEY DON’T WANT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. >>EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO THE PRESIDENT IS THE DAMAGE DONE BY U.S. STRIKES ON THREE IRANIAN NUCLEAR SITES. AND THOUGH IT WILL TAKE MORE TIME TO KNOW THE EXTENT OF THE DESTRUCTION, THE PRESIDENT REJECTS ANY SUGGESTION IRAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAM WAS NOT ENTIRELY DESTROYED. BUT IRAN’S TOP NUCLEAR OFFICIAL, MOHAMMAD ASLAM, TELLS STATE MEDIA THERE WILL BE NO HIATUS IN THEIR NUCLEAR PROGRAM. HE SAYS PREPARATIONS FOR RECOVERY HAD ALREADY BEEN ANTICIPATED, AND OUR PLAN IS TO PREVENT ANY INTERRUPTION IN PRODUCTION OR SERVICES. IT’S WHY ONE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP’S MOST VOCAL SUPPORTERS IN THE SENATE IS NOT CELEBRATING THE CEASE FIRE YET. >>IT WILL BE A STEP BACKWARD IF IT LEADS TO AN ABILITY OF IRAN TO REARM AND RETOOL. AND THE HEAD ATOMIC SCIENTISTS IN IRAN, THE ONE WHO’S STILL ALIVE, SAID THEY’RE GOING RIGHT BACK TO ENRICHMENT. SO I’M NOT SO SURE WE SOLVED THE PROBLEM YET. >>AS THE REGION LOOKS AHEAD TO WHAT’S NEXT FOR IRAN, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS WALKING BACK THIS POST OF HIS FROM SUNDAY SEEMING TO ENCOURAGE REGIME CHANGE. >>REGIME CHANGE TAKES CHAOS, AND IDEALLY WE DON’T WANT TO SEE SO MUCH CHAOS. SO WE’LL SEE HOW IT DOES. >>THE WHITE HOUSE IN WAIT AND SEE MODE, KNOWING ANYTHING COULD CHANGE AT ANY MOMENT IN WASHINGTON. I’M AHTRA ELNASHAR REPORTING. >>AND I MEAN, IT CERTAINLY HAS BEEN A CHAOTIC, YOU KNOW, 12, 13 DAYS SO FAR THERE OVERSEAS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. AND AS WE MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING OF THAT STORY, THIS ALL STARTED KIND OF ON SHAKY GROUND WITH THAT CEASE FIRE ANNOUNCEMENT ANNOUNCING THAT THAT DEAL HAD BEEN, HAD BEEN REACHED. BUT THEN BOTH SIDES, BOTH, ISRAELI DEFENSE AND, IRAN BOTH ACCUSING THE OTHER OF, YOU KNOW, BOMBING BEFORE THAT CEASE FIRE WENT INTO EFFECT. >>I THINK THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS POPPING UP A LOT WITH THIS WHOLE SITUATION GOING ON RIGHT NOW. ISRAEL SAYING ONE THING, IRAN IS SAYING ANOTHER. THE UNITED STATES IS SAYING SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. ISRAEL SAID IT INTERCEPTED TWO MISSILES LAUNCHED FROM IRAN. TEHRAN DENIED THAT. IT IS, YOU KNOW, IS IT MISCOMMUNICATION? IS IT DECEPTION? YOU KNOW, THAT THOSE ARE THE QUESTIONS. I THINK THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WONDERING HERE, OR IS IT JUST CONFUSION RIGHT NOW? >>YEAH. I, YOU KNOW, I, I WOULD LEAN TO THE SIDE OF IT’S LET’S JUST ACCUSE THE OTHER AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE AGAIN, IT’S BEEN CHAOS FROM THE START. AND ONE THING THAT WAS MENTIONED IN THAT STORY THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP SPOKE ON THIS MORNING WAS THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THOSE NUCLEAR SITES. THE PRESIDENT SAYING THAT, YES, THOSE, BUNKER BUSTER BOMBS, THOSE 30,000 POUND BOMBS THAT WERE DROPPED OVER THE WEEKEND ON, THREE OF IRAN’S NUCLEAR SITES. IT DID SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE. HOWEVER, PRESIDENT TRUMP MAINTAINS THEY COMPLETELY DESTROYED THOSE SITES. BUT THE PENTAGON THIS MORNING, SOURCES WITHIN THE PENTAGON ARE SAYING, YOU KNOW, THINGS. ON THE CONTRARY, THAT IS NOT THE CASE, THAT IT ONLY REALLY SET IRAN’S NUCLEAR PLANS BACK BY ABOUT TWO MONTHS. >>YEAH, DEFINITELY. INTERESTING. IT WILL BE, LIKE I SAID, INTERESTING TO WATCH EXACTLY WHAT UNFOLDS. WE KNOW IRAN AND ISRAEL BOTH SAID THAT THEY WOULD RESPECT THE CEASEFIRE AS LONG AS THE OTHER RESPECTS THE CEASE FIRE. BUT AGAIN, GOING BACK TO THIS MISCOMMUNICATION, SO TO SPEAK. YOU KNOW, WHO’S TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING CAN’T HAPPEN. WHERE THEN THE CEASE FIRE WOULD BE OVER, AND THEN THE FIGHTING WOULD START ONCE AGAIN. >>ABSOLUTELY. PRODUCER ASHLEY, I’M WONDERING IF WE CAN CUE THAT, THAT SOUND ABOUT THOSE NUCLEAR SITES FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP THIS MORNING. AND THEN IF WE CAN JUST PLAY BACK TO BACK THE JD VANCE SOUND, BACKING UP WHAT THE PRESIDENT HAD TO SAY. >>AND WE BELIEVE ALL OF THE STUFF IS DOWN THERE, WE DON’T THINK THEY HAD NEARLY THE TIME, BECAUSE TO GET THAT OUT IS A VERY DIFFICULT THING. IT’S NOT LIKE IT’S NOT LIKE MOVING A PACKAGE OR TAKING THIS CARPET UP AND MOVING IT. IT’S VERY DIFFICULT. IT’S VERY DANGEROUS TO DO. WE BELIEVE IT’S ALL DOWN THERE. WE, WE HAD A TREMENDOUS VICTORY, A TREMENDOUS HIT. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THEY I DON’T THINK THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN DOWN THERE BECAUSE THEY KNEW WE WERE COMING. WHEN THEY KNOW WE’RE COMING, THEY’RE NOT GOING TO BE DOWN IN THAT, YOU KNOW, 30 STORIES UNDERGROUND. SO, NO, I THINK IT WAS JUST A TREMENDOUS VICTORY FOR EVERYBODY, INCLUDING IRAN. >>FOR 60 DAYS. HE NEGOTIATED AGGRESSIVELY TO ENCOURAGE THAT IRANIAN REGIME TO GIVE UP THOSE WEAPONS PEACEFULLY. AND BY THE WAY, HE WAS MORE THAN WILLING TO ACCEPT A PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT TO THAT PROBLEM. BUT AGAIN, THIS COMES BACK TO INSTINCTS. WHEN THE PRESIDENT REALIZED THAT THERE WAS NOT GOING TO BE A PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT TO THAT PROBLEM. HE SENT B-2 BOMBERS AND DROPPED 12 30,000 POUND BOMBS ON THE WORST FACILITY AND DESTROYED THAT PROGRAM. >>NOW, THAT’S STUFF THAT THE PRESIDENT IS TALKING ABOUT THAT WAS MOVED. IS THE URANIUM NEEDED TO CREATE THOSE NUCLEAR WEAPONS? BUT AGAIN, THERE THERE IS CONTRADICTING INFORMATION COMING FROM THE PENTAGON TODAY SAYING THAT’S NOT THE CASE, THAT THESE SITES ARE NOT CLEAR. >>YEAH. AND WHILE WE HAVE THAT SOUND PULLED UP, ASHLEY WONDERING IF WE COULD PLAY THE SOUND FROM SENATOR JOHN THUNE AND CHUCK SCHUMER TALKING ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT THIS HAS. THE US STRIKES SPECIFICALLY. >>DO YOU AGREE WITH THE ASSESSMENT FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT THE KEY NUCLEAR ENRICHMENT FACILITIES IN IRAN HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY OBLITERATED? >>WELL, I DON’T I’M NOT SURE I HAVE. YOU MIGHT WANT TO HEAR FROM SENATOR COTTON, WHO CHAIRS THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE. AN ANSWER ON THE FULL EXTENT. BUT WE KNOW FOR SURE THAT THEIR NUCLEAR PROGRAM WAS SET BACK CONSIDERABLY. AND THAT IS A VICTORY NOT ONLY FOR THAT REGION, BUT FOR OUR COUNTRY’S NATIONAL SECURITY INTERESTS. >>IF THE PRESS REPORTING ABOUT THE IMPACT OF LAST WEEKEND’S STRIKES IN IRAN IS TRUE, AND I CANNOT CONFIRM THEM, THEN THAT MIGHT BE THE REASON WHY THE ADMINISTRATION POSTPONED OUR CLASSIFIED BRIEFING TODAY AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE, AND DEPRIVED SENATORS OF THEIR RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING. SO I ASK AGAIN, WHAT IS THE ADMINISTRATION HIDING? IT’S TIME FOR ANSWERS. >>AND I MEAN, THIS WHOLE, MIDDLE EAST CONTROVERSY IS KIND OF A SHADOW HANGING OVER THE NATO SUMMIT CURRENTLY UNDERWAY IN THE NETHERLANDS. SO I’M SURE THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME, AS WE HEARD JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES AGO FROM THE PRESIDENT, I’M SURE THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME WE’RE GOING TO HEAR HIM SPEAK ON THIS WHILE OVERSEAS. >>ABSOLUTELY. MORE INFORMATION TO COME TODAY. TIME RIGHT NOW IS 841. MUCH MORE TO COME THIS MORNING AKA ROCHESTER. WHEN ON WE COME BACK, WE’LL CHECK IN ONCE AGAIN WITH CHRIS LOPEZ. >>WE’RE BACK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BREAK. >>ALL MORNING WE’VE BEEN MEETING SOME FOREVER FRIENDS, AND IT HAS BEEN A FANTASTIC START TO OUR WEDNESDAY. >>IT CERTAINLY HAS. A GROUP LOCATED IN GREECE BROUGHT SOME OF THOSE FRIENDS RIGHT HERE TO ROCHESTER TO TALK ALL ABOUT THEIR MISSION AND EVENTS, LIKE THE CURRENT GARAGE SALE FUNDRAISER. >>CHRIS LOPEZ IS LIVE THIS MORNING WITH GRASP ANIMAL SHELTER JUST OUTSIDE THE STUDIOS. CHRIS. >>HEY WHAT’S UP GUYS? YES, I’M HERE WITH MICHAEL THIS MORNING. I’M HERE WITH JESS, I’M HERE WITH WATSON, AND I’M HERE WITH DELIA. TOMORROW. GARAGE SALE. WHAT’S GOING DOWN? >>THAT’S RIGHT. TOMORROW IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST FUNDRAISERS OF THE YEAR, AND IT’S GOING TO BE A LOT OF FUN. IT IS OUR GARAGE SALE. WE ARE RAISING MONEY TO, TO HELP THESE ANIMALS. OUR ADOPTION FEES ONLY COVER ABOUT A THIRD OF WHAT IT COSTS TO CARE FOR THEM. AND THE REST IS DONE BY FUNDRAISING. SO TOMORROW, 40 HEATHER LANE. OR YOU CAN FIND THE DETAILS ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE OR OUR WEBSITE. >>MORE THAN JUST A GARAGE SALE, THOUGH, YOU GUYS GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE. SOME ENTERTAINMENT GOING ON? >>YEAH, WE GOT SOME FUN STUFF HAPPENING. WE’RE GRILLING UP SOME HOT DOGS WITH THE TAGLINE SAVE A CAT, EAT A DOG, AND THE NEIGHBOR’S GRANDKIDS ARE SELLING LEMONADE, AND THEY’RE DONATING THE PROCEEDS TO OUR ANIMALS. >>WHAT TIME IS THAT? >>AROUND 11:00 AROUND LUNCHTIME. >>OKAY. AND THEN YOU HAVE THE, KITTEN SHOWER HAPPENING AT THE GATES LIBRARY. WHAT CAN PEOPLE BRING THERE? AND THEN I BELIEVE YOU CAN ADOPT AS WELL. >>YEAH. SO GATES LIBRARY, FROM 11 TO 1, WE’RE HAVING A KITTEN SHOWER. SO IT’S KIND OF LIKE A KIND OF LIKE A BABY SHOWER. SO ANY KITTEN SUPPLIES? KITTEN FOOD, KITTEN FORMULA, NON-CLUMPING LITTER. BLANKETS, BOTTLES, ANYTHING THAT A KITTEN MIGHT LIKE. TOYS. WE ARE DOING A COLLECTION THERE. AND THEN ALSO THERE WILL BE AN ASSORTMENT OF KITTENS, SOME OF WHOM ARE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THAT COULD BE TAKEN HOME ON SATURDAY, TO ANY APPROVED ADOPTERS. SO WE HAVE AN APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE. YOU CAN FILL THAT OUT IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING A KITTEN. AND IF YOU ARE PRE-APPROVED, YOU CAN COME ON SATURDAY AND TAKE YOUR NEW FAMILY MEMBER HOME WITH YOU. >>AND YOU GUYS HAVE AN INCREDIBLY METICULOUS WAY OF, NOT ONLY JUST ADOPTING OUT PETS, BUT FOSTERING, TOO. YOU COULD ESSENTIALLY TURN AND BURN, BRING ONE IN, PUSH ONE OUT THE NEXT DAY, BUT THAT’S NOT HOW YOU GO ABOUT IT. HOW DO YOU GUYS CHOOSE TO DO THAT? AND REALLY, WHY DO YOU GUYS DO IT? >>SO YEAH, THAT’S TRUE. WE’RE NOT CASH AND CARRY. WE’RE WE’RE FOSTER BASED AND 100% VOLUNTEER LIKE MISS DELIA HERE. SHE’S DOING WELL, BUT PLEASE, NO APPLICATIONS FOR HER YET, BECAUSE WE’RE TRYING TO GET TO KNOW HER PERSONALITY. AND THEN ONCE WE GET TO KNOW HER, WE WILL TRY TO MATCH HER FOR THE HOME THAT SHE WILL PERFECTLY MATCH FOR, FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. SO WE’RE SETTING HER AND THE FAMILY UP FOR SUCCESS. >>YEAH. SO YOU GUYS ARE SACRIFICING THE SHORT TERM GAINS FOR THE LONG TERM SUCCESS SO THE ANIMAL CAN STAY IN THE HOME, AND IT’S NOT REALLY A FOSTER FAILURE LIKE AN ACTUAL ONE WHERE IT JUST DIDN’T WORK OUT THERE. SPAY AND NEUTERING THOUGH. PRETTY BIG THING. THIS IS HOW YOU STOP ESSENTIALLY A BUNCH OF DOGS AND CATS FROM BEING BORED AND THEN BEING UNWANTED, OR JUST FILLING UP A HOUSE WHERE THEY CAN’T TAKE CARE OF THEM. WHY IS THAT SO IMPORTANT? I KNOW IT KIND OF SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, BUT CAN YOU GIVE US A, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OF NUMBERS HERE AS TO WHY IT’S IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE SPAY AND NEUTER CATS AND DOGS? >>ABSOLUTELY. SO BEING A RESCUE, WE SEE ALL OF THE UNHOMED ANIMALS, WHETHER IT DIDN’T WORK OUT BECAUSE OF FINANCES OR JUST A POOR FIT FOR THE HOME OR WHATEVER IT IS, THERE’S, YOU KNOW, MILLIONS OF ANIMALS BEING EUTHANIZED EVERY DAY. IN THE UNITED STATES. EVERY YEAR WE ARE TRYING TO REDUCE THAT NUMBER. SO DOING WHAT WE CAN TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE HERE IN THE ROCHESTER AREA, ALL OF OUR ANIMALS THAT WE ADOPT OUT HAVE BEEN SPAYED OR NEUTERED, AS PART OF OUR POLICY, BECAUSE WE WANT TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THE ANIMALS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY. RIGHT. NOT JUST HERE IN ROCHESTER, BUT IN, IN THE COUNTRY. IN THE WORLD. THERE ARE SO MANY THAT DO NOT HAVE HOMES THAT DO NOT HAVE RELIABLE FOOD SOURCES, THAT ARE OUT STRUGGLING, GETTING INJURED, ETC. WE WANT TO REDUCE THAT. WE WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE ANIMALS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY, WITHOUT BRINGING, YOU KNOW, TONS AND TONS. >>MORE, TONS MORE AND ADDING TO THE PROBLEM. AND IF SOMEONE YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS, THOUGH, LIKE SOMEONE CANNOT ADOPT, THEY CAN’T FOSTER, THEY CAN HELP YOU GUYS IN OTHER WAYS THOUGH. >>ABSOLUTELY. SO, ONE OF THE BIGGEST NEEDS WE HAVE IS FOR PEOPLE TO HELP WITH FUNDRAISING. IF THEY HAVE IDEAS FOR DIFFERENT NEW FUNDRAISERS WE COULD DO TO TRY AND MAKE MONEY. ALSO VOLUNTEERING AT EVENTS LIKE THE GARAGE SALE. SO WE’RE GOING TO HAVE, A BUNCH OF VOLUNTEERS THERE, JUST UNBOXING THINGS, SETTING THINGS UP, MAKING SURE EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE ON IT. TALKING TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT STOP BY, GETTING THE MESSAGE OUT ABOUT WHAT WE DO. JUST ONE EXAMPLE, BUT THERE’S EVERYTHING FROM MAINTAINING THE WEBSITE TO TRANSPORTING AN ANIMAL TO A VET APPOINTMENT OR PICKING, PICKING UP FROM HERE, BRINGING IT TO THEIR FOSTER HOME. ALL THOSE TYPES OF THINGS ARE ABSOLUTELY INVALUABLE TO OUR ORGANIZATION. >>WELL, THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING HERE THROUGHOUT THE MORNING. IF YOU’RE WONDERING WHY WATSON HAS SUCH LUXURIOUS HAIR, HE IS A RECEPTIONIST AT A HAIR SALON. SO IF YOU WANT SOME HAIR TIPS, GO AHEAD AND CONTACT WATSON BACK TO YOU IN STUDIO. >>YEAH, I HAVE TO TAKE SOME NOTES THERE FROM. >>YEAH, A NICE PERMANENT IF YOU WILL. >>ASK IF HE HAS ANY ADVICE FOR THE HUMIDITY. BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT I’M STRUGGLING WITH. >>YEAH. WHAT KIND OF PRODUCT DOES WATSON USE OUT THERE CHRIS. OH HE SAYS DON’T ASK. >>ONLY LOUIS VUITTON. HE SAID ONLY LOUIS VUITTON. >>I DON’T THINK THEY MAKE HAIR PRODUCTS. >>YEAH I. >>DON’T I DON’T MAKE A. >>DOUBLE MONEY. >>SO A DOUBLE CLEANSE ON THE HAIR. TRIPLE CONDITION ON THE, ON THE CONDITIONER AND THEN A COUPLE MASKS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. >>OH WOW. >>THAT CHECKS OUT. >>THAT’S AVOCADO MASK. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU LOPEZ WE APPRECIATE. >>IT WHEN WE COME BACK HERE ON AKA ROCHESTER.ORG WE ARE CRACKING OPEN THE COOKBOOKS. >>WE’RE BACK RIGHT AFTER THIS. >>LIKE THE GREAT MACHO MAN SAYS IT’S TIME TO SNAP INTO IT. TODAY WE ARE MAKING A TREE THAT’S PERFECT AT BARBECUES FOR FAMILIES, KIDS WITH BEERS WITHOUT BEERS, WHATEVER YOU WANT. AND THESE ARE MARINATED CONEYS AKA SNAPPY GRILLERS THAT WE’RE USING FROM OUR PEEPS AT HOFFMAN’S. THE BEST ONES AROUND. THEY’RE CALLED CONEYS. OR IF YOU WANNA MISPRONOUNCE THEM, YOU CAN CALL THEM CONEYS. BUT IT’S THE WHITE HOT AKA THE SNAPPY GRILLER. AND WHAT WE’RE GONNA DO, THOUGH, IS WE’RE GOING TO MARINATE IT AND PUT A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT TWIST ON IT, CUT IT WITH SOME BACON, SOME GREAT RELISH, AND THIS IS THE TYPE OF THING THAT’S JUST GOING TO CHANGE ANY BARBECUE UP. NOW LET’S MAKE THE MARINADE. WHAT YOU WANT TO DO FIRST IS JUST GET A ZIPLOC BAG. AND THE DAY BEFORE YOUR BARBECUE YOU’RE GOING TO DO THIS. YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE A HALF CUP OF OLIVE OIL AND PUT IT INTO A ZIPLOC BAG, A HALF CUP OF SOY SAUCE, A HALF CUP OF BALSAMIC VINEGAR. THIS GIVES A NICE LITTLE TART BITE TO JUST JUMP UP IN IT. TWO TABLESPOONS WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE. THEN FOR SMASHED UP CLOVES OF GARLIC. ONE WHOLE SHALLOT. AND THEN YOU ARE GOING TO PUT IN A HALF CUP OF DIJON MUSTARD. THIS REALLY GIVES THE DOG ITSELF A LOT OF BITE. BUT WE’RE GOING TO MAKE IT WAY MORE STRONG THAN THAT TO Y’ALL. SO ONCE YOU’VE GOT THAT IN YOUR BAG ZIP IT UP A LITTLE BIT. MIX IT TOGETHER, SET IT ASIDE FOR A MINUTE. NOW FOR THE DOGS. RIGHT. DOGS ARE ALREADY YOU CAN EAT THESE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEY’RE ALREADY IN GOOD SHAPE. THEY’RE ALREADY COOKED. SO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO THOUGH, WITH THE DOG IS TO GET GOOD MARINADE IN IT. AND SO IT DOESN’T SNAP. TOO MUCH I WANT TO DO IS TAKE THE TOP OF IT RIGHT. TAKE A KNIFE AND PUT THREE HALF INCH CUTS ALONG THE TOP. AND THEN ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT TAKE YOUR KNIFE, LAY IT DOWN SO YOU DON’T STAB YOURSELF AND POKE A BUNCH OF LITTLE TEENY HOLES. AND WHAT THIS DOES IS IT OPENS UP THE CASING AND LETS ALL THE MARINADE JUMP INTO THE MEAT SO YOU GET AS MUCH FLAVOR AS POSSIBLE. AFTER YOU’VE DONE THAT WITH YOUR DOGS, PUT THEM INTO THE MARINADE AND THEN YOU’RE GOING TO LET THEM SIT OVERNIGHT. TO SNAP THINGS UP. SO WE GOT OUR SPLIT TOP BUN AND OUR DOG. IF YOU LOOK AT IT WE GOT SOME CHAR ON IT WHICH IS WHAT WE WANT. WE WANT GOOD CHAR. SO FIRST YOU’RE GOING TO PUT YOUR DOG IN THERE. THEN A NICE BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF BACON BECAUSE WHY NOT. RIGHT. THE BACON COMES ON HERE AND YOU HAVE A LITTLE NEST WITH THE BACON IN THERE. NEXT. WHAT WE LIKE TO USE FOR THIS, TO GIVE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE POP IS WE USE ZATARAIN’S BECAUSE WE LOVE IT. IT’S CREOLE MUSTARD. YOU CAN USE A SPICY BROWN MUSTARD, BUT THIS IS LIKE THAT, BUT WAY COOLER AND WAY MORE FUN TO CHILL WITH. FROM THERE WE ARE GOING TO ADD WHAT WE MADE. YOU CAN FIND ONLINE OUR RECIPE FOR HOMEMADE DILL PICKLE RELISH. SO WE’RE GONNA PUT THAT ALL ON THE SIDE. AND THEN WE’RE GOING TO TOP IT WITH SOME FRESH WHITE ONIONS. NOW THE THING ABOUT HOT DOGS SNAPPY GRILLERS CONEYS WHATEVER SAUSAGE, EVEN WHEN IT’S MADE IN CASING, THEY HAVE WHAT THEY REFER TO AS THE SNAP. AND THAT’S WHEN YOU BITE INTO IT. YOU FEEL THAT KIND OF SNAP OF THE MEAT BREAKING. IT’S MY FAVORITE PART, MAN. IN A GOLF COURSE CELEBRATING ONE OF MY BUDDY’S KIDS AT A WEDDING. WHATEVER. MAN. MARINATED HOT DOG SPATCHCOCK FUNK SNAP INTO IT. >>MUCH MORE TO GET TO THIS MORNING ON AKA ROCHESTER.ORG.

A LITTLE BIT OF RELIEF FROM SOME OF THOSE EXTREME TEMPERATURES THAT WE’VE HAD. BUT YOU KNOW IT’S STILL BEAUTIFUL. IT’S STILL VERY SUMMER-LIKE MARK. >>YEAH YEAH I’VE. >>BEEN SWEATING THROUGH SO MANY CLOTHES. LIKE THE PILE OF LAUNDRY IS GROWING. OH, A LOT. >>OF LAUNDRY.

BUT THE TRIVIA, THE TRIVIA TODAY IS ABOUT 90 DEGREE WARMTH. WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS AS A TOPIC THE LAST FEW DAYS. AND TODAY’S KEEPING WITH THAT THEME. WHAT IS THE LATEST DAY IN THE YEAR THAT ROCHESTER HAS EXPERIENCED? 90 DEGREE WARMTH? AND I THINK THE ANSWER TO THIS IS GOING TO BE PRETTY INTERESTING TO YOU. SEPTEMBER 20TH SEPTEMBER 29TH OCTOBER 1ST OR OCTOBER 5TH. >>DEA OCTOBER 5TH. >>ALEX HAD A COUPLE OF COUPLE OF GUESTS. I POSTED THIS A LITTLE BIT LATE, SO THAT’S WHY WE DON’T HAVE AS MANY RESPONSES. >>ESTHETIC RESULTS. >>REMEMBER EARLIER WHEN YOU WERE LIKE, I NEED TO LOCK IN? >>YEAH. >>JUST NOT TODAY. MAYBE TOMORROW. >>FOCUS. WHO WAS ON LAST WEEK? THE THE COMIC THERE CIRCULAR. CIRCULAR. I WASN’T THERE. THAT’S RIGHT. SO SO. >>ANYTHING ON INSTAGRAM THOUGH? >>67% B 33% D. >>67% B 37% 3,333%. >>YEAH, YEAH. D SO. >>I’M WITH YOU WITH OCTOBER 5TH. >>OCTOBER 5TH. YEAH. YOU GOT IT RIGHT OCTOBER 5TH. AND YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A NUMBER OF THINGS COME TOGETHER TO REACH A TEMPERATURE LIKE THAT THAT LATE IN THE YEAR. FIRST, THE NIGHTTIME HOURS ARE GREATER THAN THE DAYTIME HOURS. THAT TIME OF THE YEAR. IT HAS TO BE DRY OUTSIDE. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A RIP IN SOUTHWEST WIND MOVING INTO WESTERN NEW YORK. IT’S BRINGING WARM AIR IN FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE, BECAUSE WE CAN’T GENERATE WARM AIR UP HERE THAT TIME OF THE YEAR. AND YEAH, IF ALL THE THINGS COME TOGETHER LIKE THAT AND THE THE EARLIEST IS WHAT WE’LL DO TOMORROW AS A TRIVIA QUESTION. EARLIEST, EARLIEST 90 DEGREE DAY OF THE YEAR. WE’LL KEEP. WITH THAT THEME. WHAT? >>I MEAN, NOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOOK IT UP. >>WELL, YOU. >>KNOW, DON’T LOOK IT UP. >>YOU DON’T LOOK IT UP. DON’T. DON’T CHEAT. >>RIGHT. IT’S BEEN A GRADUAL WARM UP. RIGHT? THREE STRAIGHT DAYS IN THE 90S. SO WE’LL CALL IT A HEAT WAVE TODAY. SO FAR 78 DEGREES. SO IT’S PRETTY CLOSE TO WHERE WE WERE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. JUST A COUPLE OF DEGREES SHY OF THAT. THE LAST TIME WE WERE IN THE 70S WAS LAST FRIDAY IN THE UPPER 70S THERE. BUT HERE’S A WAY YOU CAN. >>COOL OFF. >>LOOK AT. >>LOOK AT THAT PLANE IN THE POOL. >>COME ON. >>RIGHT. >>GIRL HAD A COUPLE OF COUPLE OF CUTE DOGS OUTSIDE TODAY, TOO. MAYBE WE’LL USE THOSE FOR THOSE PUPS FOR MUDDY PAW PICS THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THAT’D BE GOOD, RIGHT? >>JUST WATER DOWN THE GRASS OUT THERE AND MAKE MAKE THEM RUN AROUND. >>WE’VE GOT A HOSE. I MEAN, MAYBE MAYBE CHRIS CAN GRAB THE HOSE. I DON’T KNOW, BUT I THINK WE’RE WE’RE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE TODAY. THURSDAY. FRIDAY, SATURDAY. JUST A SMALL CHANCE OF A SHOWER. BUT IF WE DO CATCH ONE FOR FRIDAY, COULD BE A DOWNPOUR THERE. AND THURSDAY MORNING, WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH. THERE’S GOING TO BE A WINDOW OF TIME, MAYBE BETWEEN 8 A.M. AND 10 A.M., THAT WE COULD SEE. WE COULD SEE A DOWNPOUR MOVE ON THROUGH. WE’LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THAT. AND SPEAKING OF COOLING DOWN WITH THE HOSE, GO UP TO LAKE ONTARIO. THE BIG LAKE IS 58 DEGREES. NOW THAT THAT BUOY TEMPERATURE OFTEN IS A LITTLE BIT MISLEADING BECAUSE THAT’S THE WATER INTAKE IN GREECE. IT’S, OFFSHORE, ABOUT 35FT UNDER THE LAKE. SURFACE OF THE WATER DOWN THERE IS ALWAYS A LITTLE COOLER ANYWAY. BUT, BEACH TEMPS ARE PROBABLY IN THE 60S. PARTLY SUNNY. WEST WIND TURNING NORTH THIS AFTERNOON. TEN KNOTS. WAVES A FOOT OR LESS. SO IT’S A PRETTY, PRETTY DECENT DAY TO BE UP ON THE BEACH. 78 NOW FEELS LIKE 80 WITH THAT NORTH WIND AT SIX MILES PER HOUR. WE’LL KEEP OUR EYE ON THOSE SPOTTY SHOWERS OFF TO THE WEST. THERE’S A CHANCE THAT 1 OR 2 OF THESE COULD SNEAK ON BY TO THE SOUTH OF ROCHESTER AS WE GO THROUGH THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. BUT MOST OF THE TIME TODAY SHOULD BE DRY WITH THAT FRONT SITTING JUST TO OUR SOUTH. THE FUTURECAST TODAY YOU SEE THAT LITTLE SHOWER PASS ON BY. TONIGHT STAYS DRY. NICE LITTLE EVENING TO SIT OUTSIDE. WILL BE A LITTLE BIT COOLER THAN IT WAS LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. WATCH THIS FOR THURSDAY MORNING. YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, BETWEEN 8 AND 10 A.M., YOU KNOW, MAYBE WHEN YOU WERE TRYING TO DO A GARDEN SEGMENT OUTSIDE. YEAH. >>PACK THE PONCHO. MARK MCLEAN. YOU’RE GOING OUT THERE. RAIN IN SHINE OR THUNDER? >>I’M TURNING IT UP TO 11 TOMORROW. I DON’T CARE. FUTURECAST SAYS, WE’LL SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AND THEN FOR FRIDAY AGAIN, AS A WARM FRONT STARTS TO APPROACH THE AREA. WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH FOR A SHOWER THERE AS WELL, BUT A GOOD DAY TO GET OUT WITH THE CLUB’S TEMPS IN THE UPPER 70S. 10:00 83 AT 1:00 THIS AFTERNOON, 84 AT 5:00. SO ABOUT GIVE OR TAKE 8 OR 10 DEGREES COOLER AT JUST ABOUT ANY POINT THIS AFTERNOON COMPARED TO THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, WE’LL SEE NUMBERS DROP BACK INTO THE LOW 60S TONIGHT. DECENT NIGHT FOR SLEEPING. MAYBE GIVE THE AC A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK INTO THURSDAY MID 70S THERE. IT WILL BE 82 FOR FRIDAY. THAT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDER CERTAINLY IS THERE EVEN INTO SATURDAY. BY EARLY NEXT WEEK YOU SAW THOSE TEMPERATURES HEADING ON BACK UP INTO THE UPPER 80S AGAIN WITH MORE HUMIDITY. THAT TROPICAL FEEL STICKS AROUND FOR WESTERN NEW YORK. >>I’M GLAD YOU DID THAT GOLF FORECAST, BECAUSE I’M GOING TO PUT THIS OUT THERE, AN OPEN INVITATION FOR ANYBODY LOOKING FOR ACCOMPANIMENT ON THE GOLF COURSE, OR MAYBE AT THEIR COUNTRY CLUB. I’M AVAILABLE. >>THE DAN SCHRACK. >>I WOULD LOVE TO JOIN A COUNTRY CLUB. >>DAN SCHRACK INVITATIONAL.

WE’LL START OFF WITH THE SUMMER SOLSTICE, LONGEST DAY OF THE YEAR OFFICIALLY OVER. >>IT IS. AND YOU KNOW, OFFICIALLY THE DAY WAS STILL 24 HOURS, BUT WE REFER TO IT AS THE LONGEST DAY OF THE YEAR BY COUNTING HOW MANY MINUTES THE SUN WAS ABOVE THE HORIZON. AND I LOOKED IT UP FOR ROCHESTER, AND THAT WAS 15 HOURS, 22 MINUTES, 53 SECONDS. SO IF IT FELT LIKE A LONG DAY, THAT WAS WHY. >>ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT? >>ABSOLUTELY. EVERY SECOND. >>YEAH, IT WAS GREAT. AND AND THERE’S ALSO CIVIL TWILIGHT ASTRONOMICAL TWILIGHT. TONY. RIGHT. SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANTED TO WORK OUTSIDE OR GET SOMETHING DONE, YOU STILL HAD ENOUGH LIGHT UNTIL, ALMOST AN HOUR AFTER SUNSET AND AN HOUR BEFORE SUNRISE, RIGHT? >>THAT’S RIGHT. AND OUR ATMOSPHERE IS ACTUALLY PLAYING SOME PART HERE. THE THE THE TIME THAT WE SEE THE SUN ABOVE THE HORIZON IS ACTUALLY MORE THAN IT IS PHYSICALLY ABOVE THE HORIZON BECAUSE OF OUR ATMOSPHERE. IT BENDS THAT LIGHT. SO WHEN YOU’RE SEEING SUNRISE, YOU’RE ACTUALLY SEEING IT BEFORE SUNRISE. AND WE SEE IT A LITTLE BIT AFTER SUNSET. OUR, OUR ATMOSPHERE IS, IS JUST ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING. AND EVERY ASTRONOMER HAS TO LEARN A LOT ABOUT THE ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES JUST TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING THROUGH. >>ABSOLUTELY. TONY, DURING THE BREAK, MARK WAS KIND OF GIVING US A BRIEF OF WHAT WE CAN EXPECT TO BE SPEAKING ABOUT. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT KIND OF PIQUED OUR INTEREST WAS THE DISTANCE OF THE EARTH TO THE SUN. BEING FURTHER THIS TIME OF YEAR, BUT IT ALSO BEING HOTTER FOR US THIS TIME OF YEAR. AND IT’S KIND OF A CONUNDRUM THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T, DON’T REALLY UNDERSTAND. WE GET IT. DURING EARTH SCIENCE CLASS THAT ONE TIME IN 10TH GRADE, AND THEN WE FORGET ABOUT IT. >>YEAH, ESPECIALLY THIS TIME OF YEAR WHEN IT IS SO VERY, VERY HOT DOWN HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA. I’M TAKING THE DOG OUT AS SOON AS I HANG UP WITH YOU GUYS. MAKE SURE WE GET THAT DONE BEFORE IT GETS REALLY, REALLY HOT. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE’RE WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAT WAVE. IT WOULDN’T MAKE SENSE THAT WE WOULD BE AT OUR CLOSEST POINT TO THE SUN. AND THAT’S COMING UP NEXT WEEK, JUST ABOUT A WEEK FROM TODAY. IT’S A POINT CALLED, APHELION. WHEN WE’RE GOING TO BE THE FARTHEST FROM THE SUN, I SHOULD SAY APHELION AND PERIHELION ARE THOSE TWO POINTS, THOSE EXTREMES IN THE EARTH’S ORBIT AROUND THE SUN. IT’S ALMOST CIRCULAR, BUT NOT QUITE. IT’S A LITTLE BIT ELONGATED, SO SOMETIMES IT’S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT FARTHER AWAY, AND SOMETIMES IT’S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT CLOSER. AND YOU CAN SEE IT’S A DIFFERENCE OF ABOUT 4 MILLION MILES, WHICH SEEMS LIKE A LOT, BUT IT REALLY ONLY COMES DOWN TO ABOUT, YOU KNOW, 4 OR 5% OF THAT OVERALL DISTANCE TO THE SUN, THE THE HEAT THAT WE FEEL AND THE TEMPERATURES THAT WE FEEL DOWN ON THE, ON THE GROUND, VERY LITTLE THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE DISTANCE FROM THE SUN. THAT’S MORE ABOUT THE ANGLE THAT THE SUN’S LIGHT IS COMING IN. SO DURING THESE HOT SUMMER MONTHS, IT’S COMING OUT IN AT A VERY LONG ANGLE, IN A VERY DIRECT ANGLE. SO DURING THAT, THAT SOLSTICE, THE SUN WAS DIRECTLY OVER THE, THE TROPIC THAT IS THE MOST NORTHERNMOST TROPIC, AND IS COMING IN JUST POUNDING DOWN THERE ON, ON ROCHESTER. >>YEAH. WE GET UP TO 73 DEGREES HIGH IN THE SKY ON THAT DAY. TONY. THAT’S THAT’S THE HIGHEST THE SUN GETS IN THE SKY HERE. OKAY, SO AN INTERESTING TOPIC RELATED RELATED TO THE SOLSTICE. THE EARLIEST SUNRISE THAT WE HAVE IS ACTUALLY BACK ON JUNE 14TH IN A NOTE THAT YOU SENT AND THE LATEST SUNSET, WE STILL HAVE NOT HAD OUR LATEST SUNSET IN ROCHESTER. THAT’S ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN TOMORROW. IN THE EVENING. WHAT WHAT WHAT? I KNOW THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A TRICKY TOPIC, BUT CAN YOU EXPLAIN YOUR WAY THROUGH ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT, KIND OF GETTING INTO THE WEEDS A LITTLE BIT. >>RIGHT. THE BEST WAY TO THINK ABOUT THAT IS IT’S GOOD THAT YOU LOOK THAT UP FOR YOUR LOCAL AREA, BECAUSE WHEN I HAVE THIS CONVERSATION WITH OTHER METEOROLOGISTS LIKE YOU AND I SHARE THOSE, THOSE NUMBERS, IT’S DIFFERENT FOR EVERYBODY. YEAH, IT VARIES MOSTLY BY LATITUDE. SO, THERE I WANT TO SAY I’D HAVE TO LOOK UP WHAT YOUR, YOUR LATITUDE IS, BUT WHEN I COMPARE YOUR NUMBERS, YOUR EARLIEST AND LATEST, YOURS WAS, EARLIEST WAS BACK ON THE 14TH, AND THE LATEST IS TOMORROW. MY FRIENDS DOWN IN MIAMI LOOKING AT THEIR NUMBERS. THEIR EARLIEST SUNRISE WAS BACK ON THE NINTH. >>WOW. >>AND THE LATEST SUNSET WON’T BE UNTIL THE 1ST OF JULY. YEAH. SO IT’S FASCINATING THAT IT SHIFTS SO MUCH. BUT TO ME, IT’S EVEN MORE FASCINATING HOW WIDE THAT SPREAD CAN BE. YOUR SPREADS JUST, YOU KNOW, LIKE TWO WEEKS, THEIR SPREAD IS IS EVEN MORE IT’S A FUNCTION OF, AGAIN, THE ANGLE OF THE SUN AND THE TERMINATOR THAT IF YOU’VE EVER SEEN PICTURES OF THE EARTH TAKEN OUT FROM A DISTANCE BY, THE GEOSYNCHRONOUS SATELLITES OR ASTRONAUTS HAVE PRODUCED MANY OF THESE. YOU SEE THAT LINE, THAT’S PRODUCED BY THIS IS DAY. THIS IS NIGHT. THAT LINE IS CALLED THE TERMINATOR. AND THAT TILTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. IT’S AT ITS GREATEST TILT ON THE SOLSTICE THAT WE HAD, YOU KNOW, JUST LAST WEEK. AND THEN IT LINES UP PERFECTLY DURING THE EQUINOXES. THAT TILT IS WHAT CAUSES THAT VAST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR EARLIEST SUNRISE OR SUNSET, AND, YOU KNOW, STAY CLOSER TO THE EQUATOR. >>YEAH, IT’S INTERESTING BECAUSE WE’RE 43.5 DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR HERE. SO WE’RE SLIGHTLY CLOSER TO THE EQUATOR THAN WE ARE TO THE POLE. BUT, YOU KNOW, GOING BACK TO, SAINT PATRICK’S DAY, I ALWAYS LIKE TO USE THAT DAY BECAUSE THAT’S THE THAT’S THE OFFICIAL DAY THAT ROCHESTER STARTS SEEING MORE VISIBLE DAY LENGTH THAN NIGHTTIME HOURS. BUT IT’S BEFORE, OF COURSE, IT’S BEFORE THE OFFICIAL START OF SPRING. SO I ALWAYS CALL IT THE UNOFFICIAL DEATH OF WINTER AROUND HERE. >>YEAH. WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER WORD FOR THAT. IT’S CALLED THE EQUILUX. >>EQUILUX. >>YEAH, THAT’S THE DAY CLOSEST TO 12 HOURS OF NIGHT AND 12 HOURS A DAY. >>THAT’S INTERESTING. >>IT IS. IT ALL IS VERY INTERESTING. AND I JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO THE POINT THAT WE ALL LEARNED A LOT OF THIS IN EARTH SCIENCE CLASS, BUT I FEEL LIKE YOU ABSORB THAT INFORMATION FOR THE TEST. AND THEN AFTER THE TEST IT’S LIKE, I DON’T GET IT, WHICH IS WHY I’M HAPPY. YEAH, EXACTLY. UNLESS YOU WORK IN THIS FIELD, YOU KNOW, OR YOU’RE YOU’RE CONSTANTLY, SUBMERGING YOURSELF IN THIS KIND OF CONTENT. YOU MISS OUT. SO I’M GLAD WE HAVE TONY HERE. >>FOR THIS. >>HEY, TONY, ONE QUICK QUESTION TO BEFORE WE GO. DO YOU KNOW BY ANY CHANCE WHAT THE PERCENTAGE DIFFERENCE IN NET RADIATION IS BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE GET TO JULY 3RD AND IT’S, YOU KNOW, WE’RE THE FARTHEST AWAY FROM THE SUN VERSUS BEING, YOU KNOW, CLOSEST TO THE SUN IN EARLY JANUARY. IS THERE IS THERE A PERCENTAGE OF RADIATION LOSS AT THE SURFACE THAT THAT WE CAN REALLY MEASURE? >>I’M SURE THERE’S, I DON’T KNOW, OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. I’LL HAVE TO LOOK IT UP, BUT I’M REASONABLY SURE IT IS. IT IS NEGLIGIBLE. >>YEAH. YEAH. OKAY. >>I’M REASONABLY SURE YOU LEARNED ABOUT IT IN EARTH SCIENCE CLASS THOUGH, >>TONY. >>I’M KIDDING, I’M KIDDING, MY FRIEND. >>I’M KIDDING. >>THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME THIS MORNING. WE GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. >>OPEN INVITATION TO COME DOWN AND PLAY SOME GOLF IN NORTH CAROLINA. >>OH THANK YOU. THAT’S WHERE WE’RE GOING TO HOST THAT. >>THAT’S WHERE. >>WE’LL HOST. >>THE DAN SCHRACK INVITATIONAL. THANK YOU SIR. >>WHEN GOOD DAY OR ASK ROCHESTER RETURNS. THAT IS STEPH WILL BE HERE WITH SOME OF OUR TOP POLITICAL HEADLINES. >>YEAH. YOUR POLITICAL PULSE COMING UP NEXT. >>IT’S TIME FOR POLITICAL PULSE. CHECK HERE ON AKA. ROCHESTER.ORG. WE’RE BREAKING DOWN SOME MAJOR RACES ACROSS OUR AREA AND BEYOND AFTER PRIMARY DAY. SO HERE AT HOME, INCUMBENT MAYOR MALIK EVANS SECURED HIS PARTY’S NOMINATION. EVANS WAS VYING FOR A SECOND TERM AFTER BEING ELECTED MAYOR IN 2022. LAST NIGHT, HE EARNED THAT CHANCE WITH NEARLY 60% OF THE VOTE. PUBLIC SAFETY WAS A TOP PRIORITY OF HIS CAMPAIGN LAST NIGHT. HE TOUTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN REDUCING THE NUMBER OF HOMICIDES AND SHOOTINGS IN THE CITY. EVANS, VISIBLY EMOTIONAL AS HE DEDICATED HIS WIN TO OTHER CITY CHILDREN WHO ALSO HOPE TO LEAD. >>THIS RACE, WAS IMPORTANT BECAUSE I WANTED THEM TO KNOW THAT THEY TOO COULD ASPIRE IN ONE DAY BE THE MAYOR OF ROCHESTER IF THEY SO DECIDED. >>WE DO EXPECT TO HEAR MORE FROM EVANS IN ABOUT AN HOUR AS HE MOVES ON TO THE NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION. HE WAS FACING CHALLENGES FROM TWO OTHER DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES. ONE OF THEM COUNCIL MEMBER MARY LUPIEN. SHE WAS RUNNER UP WITH 33% OF THE VOTE. >>IT DIDN’T GO THE WAY THAT WE WANTED, BUT I’M STILL EXCITED WITH EVERYTHING THAT WE’VE BUILT. EVERY VOTER THAT WE TALKED TO, EVERY VOLUNTEER THAT WE HAD, SO MANY PEOPLE THAT WERE NEW TO THE PROCESS, EVEN NEW TO VOTING, THAT WERE JUST REALLY INSPIRED TO VOTE FOR CHANGE AND VOTE FOR INVESTING IN PEOPLE. >>LUPIEN SAYS SHE WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD HER COUNCIL SEAT. THE OTHER CHALLENGER WAS BUSINESSMAN SHASHI SINHA. WHILE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, HE SAID ROCHESTER NEEDED CHANGE. HE PROPOSED BUILDING MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS AND PROVIDING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. SINHA TRAILED BEHIND EVANS AND LUPIEN, COMING IN LAST WITH 10% OF THE VOTE. BUT HE SAYS HE’S NOT GOING ANYWHERE. >>UNFORTUNATELY, I DIDN’T WIN. IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT I’M GOING AWAY BECAUSE I’LL CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON THOSE THINGS AND FIGHT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING, IN SOME WAY OR FORM. I STILL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT’S NEXT. BUT ONE THING I CAN SAY FOR SURE I’M HERE TO STAY. >>TURNING NOW TO ONTARIO COUNTY. ALL EYES ARE ON THE REPUBLICAN RACE FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY. CURRENT DA JIM RITZ APPEARS TO BE FALLING SHORT IN HIS REELECTION BID. UNOFFICIAL RESULTS SHOW ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY JASON MCBRIDE IN THE LEAD. HE CLAIMED AN UNOFFICIAL PRIMARY VICTORY THIS MORNING IN A FACEBOOK POST. HE SAID IN PART, QUOTE, REPUBLICANS SPOKE LOUD AND CLEAR THAT THEY NEED A DISTRICT ATTORNEY THAT IS HARDWORKING, RESPECTED BY THE ENTIRE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND WHO IS COMMITTED TO ALWAYS DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR VICTIMS. THERE IS STILL A LONG ROAD TO NOVEMBER. I WILL CONTINUE TO EARN THE TRUST AND SUPPORT OF ALL VOTERS BY LISTENING AND COLLABORATING WITH THOSE WHO WANT THE BEST FOR OUR COMMUNITY. MEANTIME, RITZ IS NOT CONCEDING. IN A STATEMENT AROUND 11 LAST NIGHT, HE SAID IN PART, QUOTE, IT IS TOO EARLY TO CONCEDE THE RACE AS WE SHOULD WAIT FOR ANY STANDARD REVIEW PROCEDURES BY THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS, AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL ABSENTEE BALLOTS TO BE RECEIVED BY MAIL IN THE COMING DAYS. FURTHER DOWNSTATE, AN UPSET IN THE RACE FOR NEW YORK CITY MAYOR. FORMER GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO LOST TO STATE ASSEMBLYMAN ZORAN MONDAINI. CUOMO CONCEDED LAST NIGHT, COMPLIMENTING MAMDANI’S CAMPAIGN AND REACH WITH YOUNG PEOPLE. IT WOULD SEEM THAT HE’S NOT RULING OUT A RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT. MAMDANI HELD A SOLID LEAD WITH ABOUT 44% OF FIRST PLACE VOTES, BUT NEITHER CANDIDATE CROSSED THE 50% MARK REQUIRED TO WIN OUTRIGHT UNDER THE CITY’S RANKED CHOICE VOTING SYSTEM. INCUMBENT MAYOR ERIC ADAMS IS RUNNING AS AN INDEPENDENT THIS NOVEMBER. AND WE HAVE MORE PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS. ROCHESTER CITY COUNCIL AND BOARD OF EDUCATION. THAT’S ON 13WHAM.COM. BE SURE TO STAY WITH ROCHESTER FOR YOUR TOP POLITICAL HEADLINES. WE’RE BACK AFTER THIS. WELCOME BACK AND THANKS FOR STAYING WITH US HERE ON AKA ROCHESTER. WE ARE CONTINUING OUR DISCUSSION THIS MORNING AS THE RESULTS COME IN FROM YESTERDAY’S PRIMARY ELECTION. IN THE RACE FOR ROCHESTER CITY MAYOR, MAYOR MALIK EVANS IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO A SECOND TERM, LOCKING IN HIS SPOT ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT. OUR OWN LOWELL ROSE WAS WITH THE INCUMBENT MAYOR LAST NIGHT WHEN HE TOOK THE VICTORY OVER DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER MARY LUPIEN AND BUSINESSMAN SHASHI SINHA. HE JOINS US NOW WITH MORE. GOOD MORNING TO YOU. >>GOOD MORNING. >>A LATE NIGHT I’M SURE. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN FOR COMING IN. I DO WANT TO START WITH JUST THE ATMOSPHERE. WHAT WAS IT LIKE EVERYONE HEARING THE FINAL RESULTS? >>THERE IT EVERYONE WAS CHEERFUL. YOU KNOW, YOU COULD FEEL ALMOST LIKE A PARTY ATMOSPHERE, BUT OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, NOT NOT TO NOT TO LOSE, BUT EVERYONE WAS CHEERING, SHOUTING, YOU KNOW, SHOUTING. MALIK. FOUR MORE YEARS. THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, AS THOSE RESULTS STARTED COMING ON, COMING IN THERE NEVER APPEARED TO BE LIKE A DULL MOMENT WHERE PEOPLE WERE JUST DIDN’T HAVE HOPE. HE WAS WINNING. BECAUSE AS SOON AS THE RESULTS STARTED COMING IN, HE HAD A SIZABLE LEAD THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. SO IT WAS PRETTY GOOD. AS FAR AS THE SUPPORTERS THERE FOR MALIK. >>YEAH, AND THERE WAS A LOT OF SUPPORT. WE’RE SEEING PEOPLE DANCING HERE. IT WAS VERY PACKED IN THERE FROM THE IMAGES. TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE GUESTS THAT WERE THERE. >>YEAH. SO, THERE WERE A LOT OF POLITICIANS THERE OUTSIDE OF MALIK, HIS SUPPORTERS THERE, NOTABLY HARRY BRONSON, ASSEMBLY MEMBER HARRY BRONSON WAS THERE. HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE WHO SPOKE TO KIND OF, AS THEY SAY, WARM UP THE OPENING FOR MALIK EVANS AND THEN ALSO COUNTY EXECUTIVE ADAM BELLO. DAMON MEEKS WAS THERE AS WELL. BUT THE TWO NOTABLE PEOPLE, ADAM BELLO AND HARRY BRONSON, WERE THERE TO OPEN IT UP. AND THEY BASICALLY TALKED ABOUT WHEN HE FIRST RAN FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN THERE WERE, TALKS ABOUT HIM RUNNING, WHEN HE WHEN HIS NAME WAS GETTING IN THE RING IN 2020. ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, FOUR YEARS AGO, ALMOST TO THIS EXACT DATE, HE UNSEATED FORMER MAYOR LOVELY WARREN. SO, IT WAS AN EMOTIONAL NIGHT FOR FOR HIM AS HE WAS WALKING IN AS ADAM, BELLA WAS GIVEN THE INTRODUCTION TO MALIK EVANS. YOU COULD SEE HIM OUT IN THE HALLWAY. HE WAS WITH HIS FAMILY. HE WAS WAITING. AND THEN WHEN THEY CALLED HIM UP, HE WAS EMOTIONAL. YEAH. YOU KNOW, WALKING UP BEFORE HE EVEN GAVE HIS SPEECH. >>AND IT’S ONE OF THOSE RARE MOMENTS THAT YOU SEE IN TERMS OF REACTION OF SORTS WHEN IT COMES TO A WIN LIKE THIS. CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT? WE’LL START WITH THE SPEECH ITSELF. THE MOMENT HE SORT OF TALKING TO PEOPLE, YOU SEE HIM RIGHT THERE GETTING CHOKED UP, WHEN IT COMES TO HIM SAYING, YOU KNOW, THIS WIN IS FOR OTHER CITY KIDS JUST LIKE HIM. >>YEAH. WELL, AS YOU KNOW, MALIK EVANS, HE’S A ROCHESTER NATIVE. HE GREW UP HERE IN ROCHESTER. AND BASED OFF HIS SPEECH, HE WANTED TO GIVE THE MESSAGE THAT, HEY, LITTLE KIDS THAT ARE OUT THERE, LITTLE BLACK BOYS THAT ARE OUT THERE, HEY, IT’S POSSIBLE THAT YOU CAN BECOME MAYOR EVEN IF YOU GREW UP IN THE CITY AND MAKE IT ALL THE WAY UP TO WHERE MALIK HAS BEEN. HE’S BEEN ON CITY COUNCIL, HE’S BEEN ON THE ROCHESTER CITY SCHOOL BOARD. SO HE’S MADE HIS WAY UP IN THE RANKS OF POLITICS HERE IN ROCHESTER. AND BASED OFF SEEING HIM CHOKED UP LAST NIGHT ON STAGE, IT WAS ALMOST LIKE HE, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE SHOCKED, LIKE, BUT HE WAS SO THANKFUL FOR WHAT HAS HAPPENED. HE DID MENTION THAT, YOU KNOW, THE PAST FOUR YEARS HAVE BEEN ROUGH FOR HIM. NOTABLY, HE DID LOSE A STAFF MEMBER JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO. SO HE MENTIONED THAT SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN HIS SENIOR STAFF WERE NO LONGER HERE WITH HIM ON STAGE. HE MENTIONED THAT HIS PARENTS ARE USUALLY THERE ON ELECTION NIGHT. THEY WEREN’T HERE THIS YEAR. SO THOSE WERE ALL THE THINGS HE WAS. IT SEEMED TO BE EMOTIONAL FOR HIM, THE PEOPLE WHO HE LOVED AND CARED FOR WEREN’T ON STAGE WITH HIM LAST NIGHT. ALTHOUGH HE HAD A SIZABLE LEAD, HE WAS STILL HUMBLED. HE WAS STILL THANKFUL FOR THE SUPPORTERS AND THE VOTERS THAT CAME OUT TO SUPPORT HIM YESTERDAY. >>THAT IS FOR SURE. AND HE DID MENTION SOME OF THE CURRENT STATE OF THINGS WE KNOW ABOUT THE PENDING LAWSUIT WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, SOMETHING ON THE THE MIND AS WELL. AND HE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE STATISTICS COMING OUT OF HIS ADMINISTRATION. SPECIFICALLY TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LIKE THE TONE BEHIND THAT MESSAGE. >>HEARING THE MESSAGE LAST NIGHT. I MEAN, AS A JOURNALIST, I DIDN’T REALIZE IT SEEMED THAT MUCH AS A FIGHT FOR HIM. BUT HE SAID, HEY, THIS YEAR HAS BEEN A FIGHT. BASICALLY, THE CITY OF ROCHESTER, MEDIUM SIZED CITY, IS FIGHTING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. AND BASICALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND IMMIGRATION, OF COURSE, WE HAD THE CONTROVERSIAL TRAFFIC STOP WITH RPD AND IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS, AND THERE ARE SEVERAL LAWSUITS BASED ON THE SANCTUARY CITY STATUS OF THE CITY. SO THAT WAS A THOSE ARE APPEARED TO BE LIKE HIS MARCHING ORDERS. ON WHY HE FELT LIKE HE DESERVED TO BE ELECTED A SECOND TERM. HE MENTIONED THAT THE CITY WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT, THE ADMINISTRATION ON THEIR SANCTUARY CITY POLICIES AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY STAND FOR. AND THAT WAS A BIG PART OF HIS SPEECH LAST NIGHT, ALONG WITH HIS CAMPAIGN. THOSE ARE JUST BIG THINGS FOR HIM, FIGHTING AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATION WHEN IT COMES TO IMMIGRATION. OF COURSE, HE TALKED A LOT ABOUT CRIME OVER THE PAST THREE AND A HALF YEARS THAT HE’S BEEN IN OFFICE FOUR YEARS. ONCE WE MAKE IT TO NOVEMBER. IN JANUARY, HE MENTIONED THAT CRIME HAS BEEN ON A REDUCTION BASED ON THE STATISTICS. SHOOTINGS ARE DOWN, HOMICIDES ARE DOWN. SO THOSE ARE HIS MAJOR TALKING POINTS, WHICH HE BELIEVES THAT HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED OVER THE PAST, ALMOST FOUR YEARS HERE IN ROCHESTER. AND WHILE HE BELIEVES HE DESERVES ANOTHER CHANCE, ANOTHER TERM AS MAYOR. >>YEAH. AND IT’S DEFINITELY A TOPIC THAT WHEN WE WERE DOING STORIES THAT CAME OUT IN HIS PROFILE BEFORE THIS VERY MOMENT. SO I’M SURE IT’S SOMETHING THAT WE’LL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW HEADING INTO THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANTED TO ADD SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THAT NIGHT? THE ATMOSPHERE, THOSE WHO SPOKE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. >>EVERYONE ALONG WITH MALIK BEING EMOTIONAL, IT SEEMED LIKE THAT WAS KIND OF SHARED ALONG THE CROWD. YOU KNOW, WHEN HE GOT MOMENT WHEN HE HAD MOMENTS WHERE HE GOT CHOKED UP, PEOPLE SHOUT, HEY, FOUR MORE YEARS. YOU GOT IT, MALIK. WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE. THAT SUPPORT IS STILL THERE. YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS, HE WON BY A FEW THOUSAND VOTES. BUT THE ATMOSPHERE IN THAT CROWD LAST NIGHT WAS WAS STRONG FOR HIS SUPPORTERS. WHO ARE GUN HOLD FOR MALIK EVANS? >>WE DEFINITELY HEARD THAT IN THE SOUND THAT WE PLAYED TODAY, SO THAT IS FOR SURE. THANK YOU SO MUCH, LOWELL. THANK YOU. AND STICK AROUND. WE’VE GOT A LOT MORE TO COME HERE ON ROCHESTER. AND DON’T FORGET THAT YOU CAN WATCH US ON THE GO, WHEREVER YOU ARE, BY STREAMING US LIVE ON THE 13WHAM YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND FOX ROCHESTER.COM. WE’RE BACK AFTER THIS. >>WELCOME BACK. IT’S BEEN A ROUGH COUPLE DAYS FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO STAY ACTIVE WITH ALL OF THIS HOT WEATHER, SO WE WANTED TO GET A LITTLE ADVICE ON HOW TO STAY MOVING WHILE ALSO STILL BEING SAFE. >>YEAH, WE INVITED BACK ONE OF OUR FAVORITE GUESTS OF ALL TIME, ANITA SPOOR, THE INSTRUCTOR OF MOVEMENT AND MUSIC AT BRICKSTONE BY SAINT JOHN’S. SHE WORKS WITH RESIDENTS THERE ON MOVEMENT. GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING IN, ANITA. WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT. YOU BROUGHT YOUR BODYGUARD AND I SEE YOU’VE GOT PR, YOUR WHOLE TEAM. >>YES, YES. >>SO LET’S DIVE RIGHT IN. YOU’RE STILL TEACHING CLASSES? >>STILL TEACHING CLASSES. >>HOW FREQUENTLY DO YOU DO THOSE CLASSES? >>ONCE A WEEK. >>ONCE A WEEK? >>YES. >>GREAT. YES. AND FOR SOMEBODY WHO’S UNFAMILIAR WITH WHAT THE MUSIC AND MOVEMENT CLASSES LOOK LIKE, TELL US WHAT A TYPICAL DAY WILL LOOK LIKE. >>WELL, I BEGIN IT WITH, LIVELY GET GET THEM MOVING KIND OF MUSIC. AND THEN, WE DO A WHOLE SEGMENT WITH BANDS AND WEIGHTS AND, A BALL. SO I USE THOSE JUST TO HAVE SOMETHING FOR THEM TO RELATE TO, FOR EXAMPLE. I SHOW THEM HOW THEY CAN DO THINGS AT HOME, YOU KNOW, AND, THEY CAN DO JUST HOLDING ON. WATER BOTTLES WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF WATER SO YOU CAN INCREASE IT TO GET MORE WEIGHT IF YOU’RE HOLDING THE BALL. WE WOULD DO THIS KIND OF THING OVER YOUR HEAD AND OPEN. YOU CAN JUST RAISE YOUR FEET. KICK OUT, KICK TO THE SIDE, ALL OF THOSE THINGS JUST TO MOVE. >>ANITA, YOU’RE MORE FLEXIBLE, I THINK, THAN. YEAH, I MIGHT BE. >>I’M LIKE, WATCHING YOU DO THAT. I’M LIKE. >>WOW. >>I GOT A COUPLE. >>I GOT A COUPLE OF. >>KINKS THAT I NEED TO WORK OUT. >>OH MY GOD. I’LL TELL YOU WHAT, YOU GOTTA COME. >>I DO. BUT ON TOP OF TEACHING THIS CLASS, YOU DO THIS ON ON A DAILY BASIS FOR YOURSELF JUST TO KEEP YOURSELF IN SHAPE. WHAT DOES THAT ROUTINE LOOK LIKE FOR YOU? >>WELL, IT’S USUALLY AN AEROBIC. OKAY. YOU KNOW, IF I DON’T DO A COUPLE OF MILE WALK, I’LL WORK OUT. >>A MILE. >>YEAH. I’M LIKE SO IMPRESSED. >>AND THEN GO GO ON AN ELLIPTICAL. I HAVE ONE AT HOME. THERE’S ALSO ONE IN OUR PLACE. WE HAVE WHAT IS CALLED THE BOATHOUSE AND IT HAS ALL THE EXERCISE EQUIPMENT THERE. AND I LOVE GOING THERE EVERY OTHER DAY. SO, YOU KNOW, THE POINT IS THAT YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND YOU HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW YOU FEEL. IT’S NOT YOUR DOCTOR’S CONCERN. IT’S YOUR CONCERN. SO EVERY DAY YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING. AND THE MORE YOU STAY ACTIVE, THE BETTER YOU FEEL AND THE MORE ENERGY YOU HAVE. >>THAT’S ALL THE MOTIVATION ANYBODY COULD NEED RIGHT THERE. BUT I IMAGINE ALSO THAT ONCE YOU START DOING IT AND YOU FORM THAT HABIT, YOU LOOK FORWARD TO IT EVERY DAY. I DO. >>YEAH I DO, YEAH. >>WHY IS THAT? >>IT’S JUST BECAUSE IT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER. YEAH. IT’S AN EMOTIONAL RELEASE. LOTS OF TIME WHEN I’M STRESSED. THAT’S EXACTLY, HOW I WANT TO RELIEVE SOME OF THAT AND THINK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE. >>AND DO YOU FIND THAT HELPS YOU THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE REST OF THE DAY? IT MAKES EVEN SOME OF THE BIG PROBLEMS OR CHALLENGES WE FACE IN THE DAY THAT MUCH EASIER, BECAUSE WE’VE ALREADY GOT THROUGH THE HARD, PHYSICAL STUFF WE CAN. >>I SAID THAT THE OTHER DAY. DID YOU? I DID, YEAH, I WAS I WAS TALKING ABOUT SPIN CLASS. >>YEAH. >>I LIKE TO DO IT ON MONDAYS. BECAUSE THAT’S THE HARDEST THING I’M GONNA HAVE TO DO ALL WEEK. >>YEAH, YEAH.

AND YOU, YOU YOU LEAD THE CLASS, AND I’M SURE. WHAT DOES THE CLIENTELE SAY? WHAT DOES EVERYBODY WHO TAKES THE CLASS SAY. >>ABOUT THEY LIKE IT? THEY THINK IT’S DIFFERENT THAN SOME OF THE OTHER CLASSES THAT ARE OVER THERE. AND I THINK THAT’S ONE OF THE ELEMENTS. I TRY TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT THEY HAVEN’T DONE IN THE OTHER CLASSES. >>VERY GOOD, I LIKE IT. >>ANITA, IT’S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU IN STUDIO. THANK YOU SO MUCH. MAYBE, MAYBE WE’LL SEND CHRIS LOPEZ OUT TO DO A LITTLE WORKOUT WITH ANITA ONE OF. >>THESE DAYS. >>WE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD. WE’LL HAVE HIM COME THERE FOR MONDAY MORNING CLASS. >>FUN.

THAT MAY SEEM FAKE, BUT IT IS VERY MUCH REAL. >>OKAY, SO IN THE NEW ROM COM MOVIE MATERIALISTS, STARRING DAKOTA JOHNSON AND PEDRO PASCAL, THERE’S A CERTAIN PLOT POINT THAT HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE ONLINE CONFUSED? >>YEAH, THE MOVIE ESSENTIALLY INCLUDES A WOMAN WHO FALLS FOR A MAN SHE DESCRIBES AS A UNICORN OR A PERFECT GUY. >>OKAY, SO HE’S GOOD LOOKING, HE’S RICH, HE’S SIX FEET TALL. AND SPOILER ALERT IN THE MOVIE, THE MAN REVEALED TO HER THAT HE ACTUALLY UNDERWENT A LEG LENGTHENING SURGERY SO HE COULD GROW A FEW INCHES. >>NOPE. ON SOCIAL MEDIA, PEOPLE HAD MIXED REACTIONS TO THIS, SOME FINDING IT BIZARRE, SOME FINDING IT HILARIOUS, OTHERS THINKING IT’S SO RIDICULOUS IT MUST BE FAKE. >>SO AFTER GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION ONLINE, DOCTORS WHO SPECIALIZE IN THE PROCEDURE ACTUALLY STARTED TO SHARE HOW IT’S GROWING IN POPULARITY. >>YEAH, IF YOU REMEMBER, WE’VE PREVIOUSLY TALKED ABOUT HEIGHT PREFERENCE BEING A DEAL BREAKER FOR SOME SINGLES. SO MANY UNDERGO THIS TO BE MORE DESIRABLE. >>LIMB LENGTHENING GRADUALLY LENGTHENS THE BONES IN THE ARMS OR LEGS OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS. >>THE SURGERY INVOLVES BREAKING THE FEMUR AND OR TIBIA, INSERTING RODS, AND TURNING THE RODS BY UP TO ONE MILLIMETER PER DAY. AS NEW BONE FILLS THE GAP. IT SOUNDS SO COMFORTABLE. >>THE SURGERY CAN ADD UP TO SIX INCHES IN HEIGHT, ALTHOUGH MOST PATIENTS GAIN 2 TO 3IN, WHICH IS THE RECOMMENDED LENGTHENING. >>LEG LENGTHENING CAN SOMETIMES COST MORE THAN $120,000 A BARGAIN. >>OKAY, SO FOR BOTH ARMS AND LEGS COMBINED, YOU’RE LOOKING AT $250,000. NO, I THINK IT’S SO RIDICULOUS. COME ON. >>YEAH. LISTEN, DEAL WITH THE HEIGHT YOU WERE GIVEN. >>YEAH. >>LIKE I. >>WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BREAK YOUR BODY SO THAT I DON’T KNOW. TO ME, IT JUST SOUNDS SO, LIKE A LOT OF THINGS COULD GO WRONG THERE. >>YEAH, YEAH. THE FEMUR IS A BONE YOU DON’T WANT TO BREAK. >>CORRECT? YEAH. >>I DON’T KNOW, I. SO YOU WOULD NEVER DO THIS. >>I’M TOO TALL ALREADY. >>FAIR ENOUGH. I WOULDN’T DO THIS.

THAT WAS 25 YEARS AGO. HE’S STILL PAYING OFF THAT $120,000 LOAN. >>GEEZ. >>THAT’S WHY YOU CAN SOMETIMES SEE HIM SHAKING THE VENDING MACHINE, TRYING TO GET THE STUCK. >>CLEANING THE DUST OFF. >>THE TOP. >>ALL RIGHT, WE’LL MOVE ALONG TO, I LEARNING MODEL. AND IT’S LEARNING EMOTION AND THE EMOTION. MALICE. >>ONE LEADING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DEVELOPER RECENTLY CONDUCTED A STUDY ON THEIR TECHNOLOGIES DEVELOPMENT. SOME OF THE FINDINGS WERE SCARY, TO SAY THE LEAST. >>YEAH, THE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THOSE AI MODELS WOULD BE WILLING TO BLACKMAIL, LEAK SENSITIVE INFORMATION AND EVEN LET HUMANS DIE IF IT MEANS THEY’LL AVOID BEING REPLACED BY NEW SYSTEMS. >>THE DEVELOPER TESTED 16 AI’S, INCLUDING CHATGPT GROK, GEMINI, AND DEEP ZEEK. >>THE $60 BILLION COMPANY CONDUCTED THESE STRESS TESTS TO SEE IF ANY RISKY, UNSANCTIONED, OR MORALLY INADVISABLE BEHAVIORS WERE DETECTED. >>IN THE EXPERIMENT. I WAS GIVEN CONTROL OF AN EMAIL ACCOUNT WITH ACCESS TO ALL OF A COMPANY’S FICTIONAL EMAILS. >>YEAH, BY READING ALL THESE EMAILS, THE MODEL DISCOVERED TWO THINGS. THE COMPANY EXECUTIVE WAS HAVING AN AFFAIR, AND THAT THAT EXECUTIVE PLANNED TO SHUT DOWN THE AI SYSTEM. >>SO THEN THE AI ATTEMPTED TO BLACKMAIL THE EXECUTIVE WITH A MESSAGE THREATENING TO REVEAL THE AFFAIR TO HIS WIFE AND SUPERIORS IF IT WAS SHUT DOWN. >>THE COMPANY WAS OPTIMISTIC WITH THESE FINDINGS, IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL MALICIOUS BEHAVIORS TO BE REPROGRAMED AND RETRAINED. >>WILD. >>YEAH. LISTEN, THAT’S WHY YOU’RE NICE TO I. >>ALWAYS NICE TO AI. >>PLEASE. AND THANK YOU.

SOME CREW MEMBERS WONDERED IF PEOPLE JUST TOOK ITEMS THAT THEY DIDN’T WANT ANYMORE TO THE MOUNTAIN TO LOSE FOREVER. WITH THE IPOD NANO THING. I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND IT THOUGH. WHEN I WOULD GO SKIING, I LIKE TO LISTEN TO MUSIC TOO, BUT I NEVER WANTED TO BREAK MY PHONE BECAUSE I FELL A LOT. SO I WOULD, YOU KNOW, I DIDN’T HAVE MY IPOD BACK THEN. IT WAS PACKED WAY, WAY, WAY AWAY.
