"Yourself to pick up an Elvis son. It's over and over again. All right, so big news on Capitol Hill. Pessimistic assessment did not predict the government forces in Kabul would collapse while US forces remain that is Secretary of State Antony Blinken, testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee under the spotlight today, of course, because of what happened This past month as the US trying to get everybody out. Not everyone is even out yet still about 100 Americans on hand ABC Sandy Field in Washington following it closely. Hi, Andy. Hey there, you know, you mentioned the 100, American 100 or so Americans still there, Secretary Blinken, the secretary of state today. Repeatedly mentioned that the vast majority as far as they know, are either dual countries citizens. Who have strong ties to Afghanistan and were told repeatedly he mentioned 19 times since last March. To get out. They would get a free ticket to leave. And most of them have. Well, I guess all of them of the 100 there decided not to, uh and he said that one of the reasons is is that This is the place they know his home even though they may have dual citizenship with the United States, and they didn't want to leave their families behind, and there are only so many special immigrant visas you can give out. To people who are not American citizens. They were only designed for people who would actually help the United States over the years and they were trying to do as many of those as they could. This is very interesting because one of the things that we were talking about earlier was the rationale behind people staying and having the reality that there is dual citizenship is something again that is, is very thought provoking. Because how do you manage that In this situation? How do you manage that Dual citizenship. How do you manage the relationship that you have with both extended family? In Kabul as well as the U. S. And it's going to be interesting. So I appreciate you sharing that and because I'm really going to be tuned in to see how they manage, you know, getting people out and back into America that have dual citizenship and is that something that Americans should be prepared for to manage. Well, we'll see. There's certainly a lot of vetting going on. There's no one comes directly to the United States. They go to secondary countries where they continue the vetting. I The secretary. Blinken mentioned a number of times that, uh, the special immigrant visa documentation over the last year in large part because of covid, but also because the Trump administration just let it slide. That none of that happened in the eight or nine months leading up to Joe Biden becoming president. And so there was a mad scramble once the president the current president got in to try to process these visas, But It takes a lot of time to do that. It's not just a simple okay. Yeah, we'll check your name off the list and and you're out. You want to make sure that the right people do get into the country and the wrong people Don't ABC.

"Milwaukee, 65 at 3 52 Wisconsin's afternoon news with John McSherry. John is on his listener trip. I was going to check in with them over the weekend. I didn't because I wasn't quite sure where he was and didn't want to get in the way of their time over there. Space, Jim, don't breathe. Dazed and confused. Some of the other movies being suggested as it comes to the Packers game. Face damage. Interesting horror movie. Bad movie, though that shade to LeBron Space Jam one or the remake with LeBron That's interesting. The second one. I'm going with the second. Not bad, Not a horror movie, and I guess I just don't get it. Space Jam. Yeah, Now we're just getting in the movies that seem to remind us of that terrible game we watched. I guess that's where space jam come. I'm assuming they mean the second one because the first one was I was gonna make a ton of points in space jam in the good guys one and that's kind of not what Packer fans were looking for yesterday, so I don't know. All right. They're saying Space Jam one now, So Oh, that's like, um, Okay, So our latest WTMJ cares Initiative is raising money to help renovate a room at the Penfield Children's Center. You may have heard of Penfield before. It's something that wtmj Jean Miller has been very Very supportive of over the years and raised a lot of money for over the last 20 years in Gene is now leading this WTMJ cares initiative. He joins us in studio. How you doing, pal? Doing great. Thanks for having me. All right. So tell us a little bit about Penn Field's been around a while over 50 years. Yeah, Yeah, it's it's one of those places. I think people hear about heard of. And then when asked, you know what What do they do? People go. I don't really know. It's a Children's center. Right? Well, they handle the neediest and the most vulnerable of our young population. Ages. 1 to 3. Kids with some really severe developmental challenges and then other kids who who aren't nearly as affected by such things, but they call mingle. They raise them together. They work with them together. They handle kids with behavioral issues, and also they have a Montessori school. They can take kids up to. I believe fifth grade, so they treat kids at all levels with all manner of Challenges as I said, But it's just a beautiful place. I got to know about 20 years ago through a mutual friend and I've been working with the member since and just touches your heart to see the That's just the kids but the families, Then those volunteers and PTS that work with these kids on a daily basis, They're saints. So the latest WTMJ carries initiative. You're running this one. The last one. This is it. Yep. And you want to raise some money? What exactly are you trying to raise money for? For Penfield? It's a part of the center that is it has a very scientific and antiseptic sounding formal name, But let's just call it what it is. It's a play center. It's an indoor play center that leads to not to replace center. It's 35 years old. It's seen better days. It needs some improvements. It's it's It's fine for the kids, but it could always be better. Things have changed over 35 years, materials designs and again. The big thing with Penfield is they want all these kids with all these different abilities and challenges to be together because they want kids to feel like kids, and this would really go a long way toward improving that any money we can raise? It's a big number that they need to pull this off. So anything we can get will go toward that. And it would just make Penfield and even more wonderful place. So for the next couple of weeks, you know you're going to share some of the stories of some of those directly impacted what we're going to hear. You're going to hear stuff from Christine Homes, the president and CEO, She'll do a much better job of explaining pen Fields mission and you'll hear from Jason Perry. He will explain what the need is with this specific playroom. Then you hear from some families. One story is very uplifting. Another one Also uplifting but with a bit of tragedy to it, and it just again makes you appreciate what these parents and kids go through and what Penfield does for them to deal with things that don't always play out the way you think they are, But you'll hear that as well. Well, thank you for doing it. I know that you've been tied to them for several decades now, and I know that they appreciate it. I know you're too humble to say it. But the amount of time and energy you put toward raising money for that place is pretty remarkable. It's a beautiful place. They do it great job and again, you know, for the most vulnerable in the youngest among us, Nothing is too much You're here. That's wtmj. Jean Miller.

"Her, and here's a drive out to center back on. It is Heredia at the track. He looks up It is gone. Really a dollars jumping on the first Midwest Bank hotline? Here's Brewers Podcaster Wayne. Gringo. Hello, Lane. How you doing, my friend? I'm doing wonderful. Enjoying a nice off day? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks for spending part of it with us. I want to ask you about Kolten Wong Amazing pop at the top great leather excitement on the basis saw that this weekend again. What's the most important thing that Wang brings to this team. Uh, I just think the energy and that's really a theme throughout this team. I mean, we talk about that so much with Willie Adama's. But Colton has been bringing a ton of injury energy since day one also, and I actually wrote about this today. It will be in a blog on poor come tomorrow. He's been exactly what the Brewers thought he was going to be when they signed him, but it feels like he took his game to another level this week. And I think going back to ST Louis, you know, 100% capacity, even though they didn't have four crowds at Busch Stadium. I think he really wanted to show up in his old ballpark this week because he did some really good things in that series in ST Louis. And of course, everybody's talked about the stolen base off of Jati, which was, I think more sentimental for him than anything else. But he hit really well in that series and made some great defensive plays in that series, and it carried over into the National series. The play. On Saturday night is one we're going to talk about when we talk about this season, and we talk about individual place That's going to be one of the three or four that we're going to be talking about when the season's over. It was such a high baseball IQ high awareness type of play, and it was a lot of fun. If you watched it on the replay. With the close up of Kolten, Wong is face as he Tennessee's out, that's not going to get it done. And then all of a sudden, he's like They're all going for it, and you can see his eyes get big and he races back with a sense of urgency to tag you can kind of see it developed just by watching his face. That was a really fun moment. You know, offensively speaking, Christian, yellowed, starting to tick up here a little bit Lane 3 60 over his last seven starts Couple home runs, including the Grand Slam. We haven't seen a ton of pop from yelling. What do you think has changed here and I thought his line after the game was great. The story has not been written on his season Northern brewery season. I think that's a great perspective to you know, his overall numbers aren't anywhere near where he'd want them to be. But the team has a chance to accomplish exactly what he wants more than anything else, which is to win a World Series, so the story hasn't been written yet. I think he's hung in there. More than anything, and I think you started to see it on the road trip. Yeah, the power wasn't there, but he's starting to get some doubles. He gapped a few baseballs. He started to have a lot of hard contact down in ST Louis and you look over his last 11 games and 10 starts in there. He's hitting 3 56 in that stretch. He has the two home runs, but he has some doubles in there as well. He's driving in runs. He's getting some hits with runners in scoring position, and I just think more than anything, he's getting some positive reinforcement. He's getting positive results. And when that happens, you just naturally press a little bit less. You can start to be yourself again, and we all know what Christian Yelich is like when he is himself, and I think we're starting to see it. Hopefully, it continues as we get ready for this big series with the Reds, but he even tweeted yesterday it It feels good to feel good. And so I think that's him. Acknowledging that he feels a little bit different. The timing looks better. That's probably the most simplistic way of putting it. The swing doesn't look a ton different, but the timing looks a little bit better. And I think he's getting a little bit more aggressive early in counts to where he was a little more passive. If you go back to June and early July, and I think those two things combined better timing and a little bit more aggressive when you go back to 18 in the second half and over the 19 season, go look up. How many? Oh one pitches. He hit out 02 pitches even but certainly early in the count home runs, he Get a ton of them. In those two years in Lane, Aaron asked me the Brewers top pitching prospect is settled in after his rough first start ever against the Cubs. Where does he factor in not only the rest of the way, but in the month of October? I think he can be a very versatile guy that can do whatever the Brewers need him to do. I think in a perfect world, he factors in as a bullpen piece, but there's also this thing about running these guys out there way beyond their career highs in innings. Over the course of this next month. And so you want to be careful with Corbyn Burns and Brandon Woodruff. And when Freddie Peralta comes back, so if you have a chance to slot him in every once in a while into the rotation, let him start to. I think that will be a key thing to keep the other guys fresh. So I think you'll see him do both. I think if you're looking at it more from a big picture, What would the postseason look like? From Aaron Ashby? Definitely a bullpen piece and a really nasty one. He's starting to throw more strikes. He's been able now twice. Over his last three outings to navigate some trouble in an inning, which I think is a big thing for a young pitcher, and anybody that's watching him knows how good the stuff is. This is really nasty stuff. He's going to be a really special pitcher. He's the next guy out of this group. The Brewers have found a way to really develop pitching and international. Is that next one along with probably Ethan, Small brewers broadcaster Lane Grendel has always great stuff, Lane. Thank you. Appreciate it, guys.

What got him back on the radar? John is pitching for Team Canada and the Olympic qualifiers back in May. So he hit 98 on the radar gun, which is about what he hit when he was with the Brewers. Yeah, I mean, who knows where this goes? He had a great run with the Brewers for a short period of time, but would not have expected crazy him to be back with the Brewers on a contending team here in 2021 going to be fun, that's for sure. 3 17 at WTMJ.

You could not have asked for better timing with as we were saying earlier, Tony, What's the plaza like now? It's starting to get a little bit of energy again. A lot of fans kind of milling about typically, how it would be maybe five hours ahead of tip off, but not seeing any umbrellas. It's very comfortable right now. I did talk to a couple fans from Indianapolis. They made the trip today. They were a little bit concerned, hoping that the rain would be holding off because I mean, they see the scenes on TV of the Dear District, and they made the trip to be a part of it day. Tony if Greg and I could deliver to you right now, either. An ice cold beer or a pair of dry socks, which would be at the top of the list. Man. That is tempting. I think I've still got to go with the beers of Oh, all right. Rewind is powered by watch three industries and premier aluminum. Greg. Oh, this is really changed down here. I mean, I know there's more common but not for several hours. But right now it is gorgeous in the dear district might feel like winter two Suns fans, but that's all right. Good.

"G. M. J. Brewers and Mets opening up a three game series this evening. The pitching matchups through the series tonight, Brandon Woodruff against Tyler McGill tomorrow looks like Brett Anderson is going to come off the injured list to make the start will face off against Jacob Diagram. And then Corbyn burns against the old TBH coming up on Wednesday. I'm a little I'll be honest with you. I'm a little bummed. This is not a shot at Brett Anderson. But if you're going to face off against Jacob program, it would have been great if he was pitching against would drift or burns or Peralta just to have one of those great pitching matchups, But that's not not going to happen. But if they play each other in the postseason will happen. This is a this very easily could be a post season preview between these two teams. Brewers Get three All Stars. All pictures. Brandon Woodruff, Corbyn Burns, Josh hater, all making it for Burns. It's his first time would drift and hater getting multiple All Star appearances. Manager Craig Counsell talked about earlier day he opened up really talk about Corbyn Burns because burns when he got the news. He was emotional, and you think about burns his path and the splash he made in his big league debut, and then it just all went away in his next season and kind of had to reinvent himself as a picture. Council said that yeah, it is. It's special to be an all star. It's especially special when you're an all star for the first time, and there's even more when it comes to two carbon burns. I mean, I think number one is the first time All star. It's a different It's a different feeling. There's no question about that, Um And I think I mean, I think you're right. I think Korman is a great example of a player who the game kind of kicked in the teeth. And, um he made a decision. Really? Not to let it beat him or not a lot of lot to let it. Hold him down in any way. Um And that it's just it's really impressive. I mean, I don't think the 2019 season could have been any more cruel. He had just was a cruel season. The Corbyn and in the fact that he didn't do well, um, he was sent to the minor leagues, You know, multiple times, um Option multiple times and, you know, performance related. Really, um And he took it upon himself to to really rethink and remake. You know all areas of his game. I think from mentally and physically through his arsenal, um, training wise just to come back as strong as he possibly could in every area. And, um And he deserves so much credit for that. It's um it's not easy, we think well, that's of course, that's what you do, but the level to which he's done. It has made a big difference in What we see on the field. He makes a great point. When you think about where he was at and where he has gotten, too. It's remarkable. I use the word remarkable a lot about this team. It is. It's It's remarkable. So your other two guys you got Brandon Woodruff. Making the All Star game for a second time. You have Josh hater for a third time when you become a multiple time All Star. It almost kind of not that you need to have credibility added, But you're not a one hit wonder. I guess you can say like you're It's a legitimate sort of deal when the Brewers again multiple all stars, who are multiple time all stars Certainly says something about what they're doing as an organization. Yeah, it does. I think for Josh, you know for Josh. It does. I think for for for what he it does. I also think it speaks to You know, from from just organizationally. Um, you know, I know one of David's goals. When he came here was to become an organization that was very good at developing and Um, pinching and just helping pitching and identifying pitching and improving pitching. And I think, organizationally it's a great message. Um, you know, just That that goal that David set out as he came here. He's succeeded in his on his way, so I don't think he ever tell you he succeeded, but that he's on his way to making that happen. Um There's a lot of people there's so many people organizationally to me that play a part of these are three pictures that have been with us for quite some time. Um, and so that the development never never stops. Um and I don't think it has for these three. That's that's why they're in the position. They're in, Um But not only for the players, but I think just all around the organization. There's People that have helped these guys and give those those all those people organizationally a lot of credit as well. It was a big day for the organization. They have three pitchers name. I think it's really important really important day. And the hope is that Freddie Peralta will get added to that group. He there If you are scheduled to pitch on Sunday, you can't pitch in the All Star game. Brandon Woodruff is scheduled to pitch on Sunday. Jacob deGrom scheduled to pitch on Sunday, so there are going to be you still go to the All Star game. You're still honored as an All star. You're just not active on the All Star roster. So the belief would be that with the numbers that Peralta is putting up that he's going to end up on the All Star team as well, and that would be four pitchers making it as all stars from the Brewers, which is really something special. I'm still holding out hope that somehow, some way Omar Nevada's makes it I saw Buster Posey got a little bit banged up yesterday. He's scheduled to be a starting catcher for off of the National League team. I don't know what that's going to result in, but to me. Omar. Nevada is absolutely is worthy of being an all star as well.

And so I knew the war was coming to an end. I wondered. You know how our young fella's going to save the world for democracy now and then? The army needed occupation forces.
