- 3:12President Donald Trump is expected to sign an
- 3:15executive order directing federal officials to
- 3:18create a list of sanctuary cities and states
- 3:21that do not comply with immigration enforcement.
- 3:24This list may include Boston, frequently criticized
- 3:27by Republican officials for its noncompliance
- 3:30with federal immigration operations. The order
- 3:34would allow the U .S. Attorney General and the
- 3:36Secretary of Homeland Security one month to identify
- 3:39noncompliant jurisdictions. which could face
- 3:42funding cuts and legal action. Boston's Mayor
- 3:46Michelle Wu emphasized that the city's policies
- 3:49prioritize safety and will remain unchanged despite
- 3:52federal pressures. Now on to sports. Shadir Sanders
- 4:02learned a crucial lesson in humility during his
- 4:05NFL draft experience. Despite being hailed as
- 4:09a top prospect, the former Colorado quarterback
- 4:12endured a frustrating wait of over two days and
- 4:16143 selections before the Cleveland Browns finally
- 4:20called his name. While many analysts viewed him
- 4:23as a first -round pick, NFL executives had concerns
- 4:27about his interviews and perceived arrogance.
- 4:30This situation highlights the stark contrast
- 4:33between media hype and the realities faced by
- 4:36talent evaluators. Now Sanders has the opportunity
- 4:40to prove himself, aiming to fulfill his legendary
- 4:43aspirations in the league. In local sports. Tonight,
- 4:49the Celtics can close out the series with a magic
- 4:52at the Garden. Tip -off is at 8 .30. Also tonight,
- 4:57the Sox are in Toronto for Game 1 of a three
- 5:00-game series against the Blue Jays. Garrett Crochet
- 5:05takes the mound with a 3 .19 ERA. facing Bowdoin
- 5:09Francis. First pitch is at 7 .07 under the dome
- 5:14at Rogers Center. In top news, antisemitism in
- 5:20the United States has surged to levels not seen
- 5:23in nearly half a century. A report by the Anti
- 5:27-Defamation League indicates an average of 25
- 5:30incidents per day, the highest since 1979. Despite
- 5:35Jews making up about 2 % of the population, they
- 5:39are targeted in more than two -thirds of religious
- 5:42hate crimes. Rowdy Sharon Brow sporns, Antisemitism
- 5:47is always the canary in the coal mine for the
- 5:49evisceration of the rights and dignity of all
- 5:52people. Incidents related to Israel and Zionism
- 5:56have sharply increased, highlighting a troubling
- 5:59trend. Experts emphasize the need for education
- 6:03and community building, rather than government
- 6:06intervention, to combat this alarming situation.
- 6:11In business news, last night, CPC News projected
- 6:16that the Liberal Party will form the next Canadian
- 6:19government, granting Mark Carney a full term
- 6:22as Prime Minister. This comes amid ongoing trade
- 6:26tensions with the United States. While it remains
- 6:29uncertain if the Liberal Party will secure a
- 6:32majority, they have currently obtained 160 seats
- 6:36in the House of Commons. Carney, a former Goldman
- 6:40Sachs banker, successfully defeated his rivals,
- 6:43including Pierre Poilever of the Conservative
- 6:45Party. The election was heavily influenced by
- 6:49President Donald Trump's tariffs, prompting a
- 6:52bi -Canadian movement and a shift back to the
- 6:54Liberal Party. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is
- 6:59unchanged at about $94 ,000. Ethereum is unchanged
- 7:05at just under $1 ,800. And Goatsy's Maximus is
- 7:10up 10 % to $0 .08. Moving on to a more local

- 7:56morning sent you by. And now, back to the show.
- 8:01Let's talk science. Scientists have made a significant
- 8:05breakthrough in understanding hailstorm formation,
- 8:08a mystery that has puzzled meteorologists for
- 8:11years. A study from the Chinese Academy of Sciences
- 8:15analyzed 27 hailstones from nine storms in China.
- 8:20revealing that hail primarily forms by descending
- 8:23steadily or through a single upward push, rather
- 8:26than the traditional recycling process. Lead
- 8:30author King Hongzhang emphasized, This work fundamentally
- 8:34changes how we understand hail formation. The
- 8:38findings could enhance weather forecasting and
- 8:40improve estimates of hailstorm dangers, though
- 8:43funding cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
- 8:47Administration may hinder these efforts. And
- 8:53in entertainment news. In The Surfer, Nicolas
- 8:56Cage delivers a performance that is undeniably
- 9:00unhinged. His character, struggling through life's
- 9:04challenges, attempts to reclaim his childhood
- 9:06home near a picturesque Australian surfing spot.
- 9:10However, a tough group of locals, reminiscent
- 9:13of a motorcycle gang, led by Julian McMahon,
- 9:17repeatedly warns him, don't live here, don't
- 9:20surf here. The film follows Cage's character
- 9:24as he battles desperation and chaos, showcasing
- 9:27his unique ability to portray madness. Drawing
- 9:32inspiration from real -life surfer gangs, The
- 9:35Surfer feels like a nostalgic exploitation film.
- 9:38highlighting Cage's unparalleled talent in cinema.
- 9:42Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote
- 9:46of the day. And today, our quote comes from the
- 9:50American journalist and author, Robert Quillen.
- 9:53And he said, There are glimpses of heaven to
- 9:57us in every act or thought or word that raises
- 10:00us above ourselves. And that's a wrap for this
- 10:05morning. You can check out our Instagram, YouTube,
