Candidate accused of , well, assault, on a reporter, he won anyway. Greg gianforte picked up montanas only house seat despite being charged with assault the day were. As a teenager, doug, i dont know if you know this he has ties to our area he played football for Upper Merion High School. How about that be. May have been a very good football player, base and on his most recent moves. We have a new member of the congress coming here to washington right now, that has kind of an adversarial take. Tonight montana residents are sending a wake up call to washington d. C. Establishment. Reporter wake up call clear victory for montana businessman turned politician Greg Gianforte but his declaration of victory included an apology. Aim not proud of what happened. I should not have responded in the way i did and for that i ams sorry. I should not have treat that had reporter that way and for that im sorry mr. Ben jacobs. Reporter ben jacobs said he was body slammed by gianforte when he sought an interview a incident witness by a fox news crew. Gianforte was charged with miss de miss demeans soft democrats quickly responded way webb ad, three state newspaper rescinded their endorsements and nancy pelosi blamed the president. That is his model, donald trump his his model and we have got to say, come on, behave, behave. Reporter what gianforte had going for him was early voting a third of Montana Voters had already made up their mind and locked in their choice. House Speaker Paul Ryan said, gianforte should apologize but he wouldnt oppose results of the election. I will let people of montana decide who they want as their representative. That is not our house, that is people of montana who choose that. Looking at things that were in gianfortes favor, in this race, and yes, there was at salt charge but he was also running in montana that went 20 points for donald trump last year, and he was facing a democratic candidate who went kind of far left at some point even bringing Bernie Sanders into help him campaign in a state that is generally pretty favorable for republicans. Wasnt there a huge, you mentioned this a huge absentee vote in, other word, people voted well ahead of the a salt reporter really plays right in the criticism that a lot of people have had for early voting a third of voting in montana had weighed in and locked in their vote. Argument is that yes, it is convenient but people dont all the time have all of the complete information at the point that they actually cast that vote. You cannot take it back. Who would think Something Like that with happen the night before. True. Coup james comey. That is whole other thing. Get ready for Hurricane Season. As i know, Hurricane Season starts june 1 and goes through november 30th. It is going to be rough apparently. We are getting an urgent warning from governmental weather forecasters in a normal season there are 12 tropical storms and then, six, that get to the size of a hurricane, six hurricanes per season up to nine hurricanes are being predicted this year. Last year Hurricane Matthew killed 34 people in the united states. The most dangerous part of the storm is not the wind, it is not the rain, it is flooding and storm surge that occurs afterward. So we need to be prepared for all of that in the upcoming season. On the lighter side i do have a tendency to go to the caribbean every year and i always try to dodge hurricanes as you probably do too but now you have to dodge making nine of them. Are you going somewhere then. I still try to squeeze it in. Okay. There is nothing good about a hurricane, sue but you do have about a 10 day warning when it comes off the coast of africa, you have got that, you know. Listen to people like sue to let us now. National Weather Service and sue serio. We have had seasons where hurricane formed but they didnt all make land fall. That is right. That is what we have to watch out for which won make land fall and how strong they are when that happens. So, yeah, starts june 1, we have our Holiday Weekend, ahead, a reminder of the reason, today, is to honor, these who died serving our country, but it is also turned into the unofficial start of summer. So here we are, with a slight chance of the shower on saturday. 30 percent. Sunday maybe a late thunderstorm at night into monday morning, 78 on saturday and sunday 73. Monies 78. It will be cooler at the shore but pretty nice, close to 07 degrees tomorrow.

Phillies have a new opponent in town tonight, Cincinnati Red maybe another winning streaking, a win streaking, 73 e begins, nice night, look at last night with all those thunderstorms. Well to day we have all of that has moved up to new england. Looking ahead in our future cast we will see a chance of the stray shower, this afternoon or this evening, and then mostly, it will be a mix of sun and cloud tomorrow, mix of sun and cloud, here comes a stray thunderstorm on saturday , and then on sunday, possibility of the stray shower. None of them is a wash out. But you could get a shower. Now, early monday morning, and right now, a high of 76.

Chris coons beat Craig Anderson five minutes and 92nd in the second overtime to give them the threetwo victory over, the ottawa senators. Game seven of the eastern conference finals. He scored twice. Justin schultz added the other and matt murray stopped 28 shots. The penguins are trying to be the the first team since Detroit Red Wings in 1998 to win back to back titles. They will host Nashville Predators in game one that would be monday night. Oh, no, i love game seven in hockey and then double overtime. You are on the edge of your seat and then look at what we got we have the penguins with cry baby crosby in there against our former coach, peter laviolette. Why does this happen, alex, why . We get rid of the coach and now, he may win the stanley cup. It is the philly curse. I think he already has within with carolina. For you, not us. I think i need an intervention. Why . Im starting to get very depressed as you are over the lack of successful sports teams new in philly. Y dont know i have faith, eagles. Really. Yes. The question is out of all of them who is the best chance of the four major team and dont bring up soul and union i know they are very good and i love watching soul and love watching the union but those other four sports that we talk about on the show. Which team are those four will be bringing the next championship to philadelphia.
