Kamala Harris's Scandalous Rise to Power Revealed!
"Kamala Harris is the dumbest woman on Planet Earth. What a disgrace. We all know how she got to her position of success and power. She did it not from an upward standing position. We know how she got it. Willie Brown told us, he was having an affair with her. And sexual favors, he put her in a higher position, and we all know that. Because she ain't qualified. She is one of the most ignorant, unqualified black women in America. And matter of fact, she ain't even black. Because when she entered the Senate, she was announced as the first Indian female to enter into the U.S. Senate. Go look it up for yourself. Her mama and them got red dots on their forehead. Ain't nobody there black. Nothing but Indian with the dot. And then all of a sudden, in the 2020 and the 2020 election she turned black. Y'all can't be that dumb.

"DP sports, I'm Mike Reeves after battling weather issues on Friday and Saturday. They were able to complete the masters on Sunday. Graham agar's has the story. John Robin has closed out a comfortable four shot victory at the masters to claim his second major title, adding the green jacket to his U.S. open crown became the fourth Spaniard to win at agusta, joining 70 by a sterile Jose Maria Osama and Sergio Garcia. Never thought I was going to cry by winning a golf tournament, but I got very close on that 18th hole. And a lot of it because of what it means to me and to Spanish golf. In the NHL, the Boston Bruins won 5 to three in Philadelphia to set a league record with their 63rd victory. Bruins goaltender, Jeremy swayman. It's hard to win in this league. There's a reason why this record's at 62, because not many teams can get there. So it's a special honor. The play in tournament pairings are set in the NBA in the east 7 seed Miami plays number 8 Atlanta. About number 9 Toronto meets number ten Chicago in the west, the Lakers are the 7th seed and they'll host number 8 Minnesota, LA forward LeBron James for us as good as we don't have to travel. We travel a lot the ladies. It's good that we get to stay here, but that doesn't make us be comfortable. The other Western Conference play in match up will feature number 9 New Orleans against number ten, Oklahoma City, New Orleans, head coach, Willie green knows what to expect from the thunder. You may not get as many shots as the scores are not going to be as higher. And we still have to attack, have tech mentality. On the diamond, the rays defeat Oakland 11 to nothing to improve their record to 9 and O pitcher drew Rasmussen. I think this organization has come to expect big things when it comes to the regular season and moving into the postseason. And so the start we're off to is unbelievable. Wide receiver Odell Beckham junior has agreed to a one year contract with the ravens Beckham did not play last season following ACL surgery and Christopher Bell held off Tyler Reddick to win the dirt race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

How Chicago elects a mayor, and why a winner may take weeks
"Chicago was holding an election today for mayor, but it will likely take weeks and a runoff election before a winner is declared. 9 candidates are competing for a chance to be Chicago's next mayor. That includes current mayor Lori Lightfoot seeking her second term to win the office outright a candidate needs to receive more than 50% of the vote. That's unlikely with such a large field, so the race is expected to go to an April 4th runoff between the top two vote getters. The election is officially nonpartisan and has not considered or called a primary, though all the candidates call themselves Democrats. In addition to lightfoot candidates are U.S. rep Jesus Chewy Garcia, former school CEO Paul valles, Cook County commissioner Brandon Johnson, businessman Willie Wilson, state rep cam Buckner, activist Jamal Greene and city council members Sophia king and roderick Sawyer.

I think everybody speak for the music industry. When when i say it's like we were all looking around like we still have a career gonna do this. You know and i i think the first couple of weeks of shell shock. I remember a lot of pacing around my yard like just pulling weeds. They've been all kinds of odd jobs. Landscaping trying to stay busy. And then i think you know after a few weeks of that like man. This is crazy opportunity that we have. There's you know blessing in the skies silver lining not being on the road for year and a half like. Let's let's make the most of it so we made an album and now here we are your and a half later like with a new album out to the fans a couple of singles that have gone up the charred gonna number one that. We've not gotten to play live a single time which is like the craziest thing because usually when you have a number one song you've got a song at the top of the charts. You're out there. Feeling it's ryan jubal energy from the fans. Sing it back to you every night but we just like the people actually know this song is somebody is is. I don't know somebody played a prank on us here. We are in rehearsals man. And it's going amazing. We're working new songs of the set. And i think you know. Speaking our artists friends begin. Everybody crew folks out there on the road. It's like the energy is high fans are ready for. It waited long enough. And i think you know i. I think it just causes us to appreciate the moments a little bit more. You know usually is rehearsal days a grueling. You know you're in there at seven. Am you're working till past seven pm's long long days but i think we're all looking around and join it a little bit more appreciate you know people the friends. We could spend the time with minutes all that much more worthwhile when we get out there and feel it onstage. Man we've got a few shows on our belts this summer. And it's like i get goosebumps even thinking about it's crazy. Yeah i mean you guys probably were like the rest of us thought all right. We're gonna shut this down for a week. Maybe two weeks of back out on the road ever could have imagined it was going to be a year and a half. What was that like to wait this long to get back on stage and sing those songs to your fans man. It was pretty crazy like dan said it was. Shell shocked at the beginning of just. What do we do now. And a lot of kind of waiting around like we heard anything just kind of you know trying to get updates from her body and then i think it kind of turned into all right. We're going to try to settle in. And i had had a baby our youngest. Anc was born two weeks before bridgestone chesney just kind of a wild thing anyway was kind of preparing myself to you know..

I'm sure this wasn't what we were going to talk about. But i've been thinking a lot lately about health. Tv has changed. I feel like thirty walk was such well ally mcbeal and thirty rock were sort of more of the old school ilk television before streaming where we did twenty four episodes. If you're lucky sometimes twenty two twenty four somewhere in that range of the demand was and we. Would you feel the world watching it with you week in week out and we were making it as the world was watching and that was a really now. I realize that's the time by because now we drop all of people watch them in around time. You don't feel the same like we're talking with. Bill and hearing people analysts next car. It's not the same thing with the streaming drop when i love about the streaming drop is that there's a lot more shows and a lot more art and a lot more eclectic material to be done things that wouldn't get a yes on network tv canal thrive on streaming than you so into paul side.

Oh god this may be it like and i certainly felt that after coming to new york and auditioning for nine i thought wow this could have been like the high point of my career so that lives within an actor. I think I think that's a little bit healthy by the way. I think we all have it. What if you took for granted of course job gaeilge. Yeah to some extent. I feel like right now.

So that matters and i think also psychologically to beat them. You have a good feeling. The best pitchers didn't pitch. That'll be fun. Remember it's been off the program for awhile.

The good news is looks like now. We're not going to be worrying about this. But it's forty five miles east of yokosuka. Japan forty mph winds moving north northwest at twenty miles per hour. So the path of this now takes it to the north making landfall. Sometime tuesday night into wednesday and then back out to sea. Here's what we expect though. It is going to have an impact already four tomorrow shooting and archery and we're also possibility of surfing. Being a big problem. They just continues to move. North makes landfall north of tokyo. But intensifying through the mid week period. Now the good news is the rain. The heaviest rain is going to be the north. Maybe one to two inches in tokyo again. Maybe causing some problems but for the most part for the rest of the next seven days we are looking at scattered showers and thunderstorms temperatures mid to upper eighties but feels like temperatures into the mid nineties. Rest of the country gorgeous day in the northeast few storms down in florida. Severe storms in the plains monsoonal moisture continues in the southwest. And that is your latest weather guy.

The lay of the land easing because just showed up this morning or are sleeping is real it is real but it takes a minute to get adjusters. They'll be ready. You got it in the middle of the night and then we got up this morning and we went on a big adventure which will show you a little bit later so well then we got it. Well we would've mentioned that. The of us gymnastics are competing right now in the team final and as we wait on those results we want to turn to the women of team. Usa byles inner team mates will compete in their team. Final less than twenty four hours from now one of v marquee events these games but in an unexpected twist. The american squad finished second in the qualifying round. Nbc's natalie morales is here with more on that. Hey natalie morning. Hey guys konichi-wa will you know. The good news is mike tariq. Oh said just a little bit earlier is that the women go into the finals with a clean slate. One of the coaches and simone bile even chocking their performance to a case of nerves now simone and her teammates have something to prove boy slips steps and a few extra bounces leaving the spectacular women gymnasts of team usa in unfamiliar territory second place. The team led by simone biles finishing a full point behind the gymnast representing the russian olympic committee. Qualifying round of competition. Something that hasn't happened in more than a decade. I feel like we did a pretty good job. Obviously there are little things that we need to work on so we'll go back and practice and work on the entire team setback by unusual errors simone launching out of bounds during her floor exercise then veering to the sidestepping off the mat on vault and on her beam dismount deductions for extra steps on the landing. The bima struggle for jordan giles. I an uncharacteristic fall. Just really looked like. She doubted herself there then. Another on the dismount. Her knees in hands hitting the floor. Add to that a rare mistake on uneven bars going first up on the very first event is an exactly the easiest thing to do grease mccallum and suny lee with mistakes on their floor exercises too but for suny a bright spot an uneven bars nailing a spectacular routine ourselves. Each other good wishes are pouring in for the other american individual competitor michaela's skinner who did not qualify for an event final michaela who came back to elite gymnastics after her collegiate career tweeted heartbroken. But feeling so humbled and blessed for the amazing performance. I had tonight absolutely spectacular and despite her missteps simone finished with the highest personal score of the day the greatest of all time qualifying for the team all around and all four event finals.

"I love your list of influences because i don't think most people would expect from a kid who grew up in the two thousands talking about names like bb king and hendrix grants to go along with mariah and whitney and all the people who influenced you so when you were growing up in your house mentioned you were toddler playing the piano on your dad's lap. How did this music thing start for you. it was just. It seemed like it was there. It was like you know. My dad's band was playing in the living room. When my mom was pregnant so i was probably you know in the womb. Like i'm gonna do this. You know like probably And when i was growing up it was like there was all kinds of music around me you know. I was blessed to grow up in an extended family home where it was. My grandparents grew up in the philippines. You know they were in the house with us. So they were listening to johnny mathis and barry manilow and Celine dion and then. My mom was listening to her favorite. You know Rb artists like joe. Dc and people like that and then my dad was listening to funk and james brown and hendrix as well as eric clapton and as well as ozzy osbourne and acdc because he was just such a guitar guy and then my uncle was playing. You know a leah. And joe and you know Usher and people like that. So i was exposed to so many different types of music. And i loved it all. I loved it all because i just heard all the details. You know of everything. And i took it all in and it was like maybe i can make this. You know and. I didn't think i thought about that really but i just did you know i just did in music was just something i love. There was wasn't about the genre the style it was just this music. It seems to me always been comfortable performing. Maybe that's not true. But it just watching you in that interview. And you're ten years old the poise. You had even during the interviews. You got to sit and talk to these two strangers for a while before you play this song by someone. You look up to alicia keys on national television. Where do you get your stage. Presence is that from your dad to. i don't know maybe it is maybe it. Is you know my dad. He would go on stage and it would be you know to people in the audience. Since he's going crazy you know no matter who's in the audience or it's a hundred people at a at a club or festival and he's going crazy and you know they were. They were cover band so they would play songs. Like james brown get on up and then they would play sweet home. Alabama like it was there was no. He just had so much fun. I think maybe watching him have so much fun. Stage encourage me to. I don't know. I don't know maybe. Was there ever a chance. You weren't going to be a musician. I know you flirted with the idea. Being a dentist for a little while it was it was going to be something like probably in the medical field. You know when you have an asian mother like the pressure of you know the asian family home. Sometimes it's like you know. Success is going to become a doctor like you know so. I think that that was that was definitely going to be in the plans..

"Looking back i could say if i'm going to deconstruct this in go. He was born november fourth nineteen sixty nine day. I was born. But i didn't know it. Now mind you now. I look back. It's always a science when you look back right. Going forward is a mystery bone. And you look back you connect. Oh you did have that any. I look back now. We were always telling stories. The dinner table full of storytelling. Everybody told the story. And you better tell a damn good or you will get interrupted until we'll over so you wanna get a word in edgewise. You better have good store and you better tell it well. It was It was it was a fierce competition to that around the tape. So i grew up hearing great storytellers. Then i became a good storyteller now literally to say oh did i win. Did i want to act. It wasn't really until after. I got my first job days confused literally but even now when you read the book i look back in my diaries. I wanted to act before that. I couldn't admit it to myself out loud or tell my dad or my friends writing. I could say. I wanted to go to films going to be a storyteller but could admit i wanted to be an actor. I couldn't even dream about. It was not in the vernacular of my dreams. Seem so far out there. So avant-garde so other than so impractical. But i did want to and like many things in the in the book that i say i forgot like ten goals at the end of the book or i did notice that i wanted to be an actor. Well obviously i did do know when i look back ago. You may not have consciously acknowledged that but really you did. And i found out of that and going back through these diaries of the last fifty years and you never could have imagined speaking of dazed and confused. When you improv the line that you probably would have it yell at you on the street. Three or four times a day. When you famously said all right all right all right was it ever said on film yet and it's true. He just came up with that on your own. Yeah that there is not a word written for that entire scene. I was not even supposed to work that night. I was on set to hair and makeup and wardrobe test and the director invited me into a scene to say. Hey do you think your character woodson would be interested in you know the red headed intellectual unlike yet waterson out on a girl. She's like well you now. Mercer playing the role of cynthia the red headed intellectual. Here the top notch. Drive in think. Maybe you'd be in your car. Maybe pull up in china. Pick her up and like sure next thing. I know i'm in the car and about shoot my first scene of my career at that time. Thinking was probably a one off to date. Hobby had in the summer of ninety. Two and i started to go through my head. Who's my man whose waterson. What does what orson about. And as a person about his car as well. i'm in my nineteen seventy chevelle. There's one i said waterson about getting high as it will slater's riding shotgun. He's always gotta do be rolled up as woodson's about rock and roll. I said i got ted nugent. Stranglehold in the eight track three. And then i heard action looked up over their for busy cynthia..

"Hard thing to kind of sum up in a couple of sentences but it's about a woman who has lost her husband a he. He was a famous writer. Much like a stephen king kind of character. Somebody who wrote supernatural stories. But it's it's really the story about their relationship about what it means to be an intimate relationship over a long period of time. And we we find her at the beginning. There are people who are pressuring her to give her husband's papers And she won't let go of him and then there's a stalker played by dane dehaan actor Kind of a fan. The superfan And then she your sisters Joan allen and jennifer. jason. Leigh both actors and clive owen. Place my husband and it's just it was a great group of people really really wonderful. Pablo rain is genius and darius kanji or dp lucky. Were you familiar with this book in this material before it came to you. I wasn't either the script. The screenplays came to me and steven wrote screenplays. And i know how attached to was to read the book after that so my first contact with stephen was after i read the screen plays and and he said he wanted to speak to me on the phone and we talked about the character and i think for him as somebody who's been in a in a long and and really Important relationship you know. I think that's that's what's resonant about this story and they're also lots of literary references. They're important to him so it's about kind of his work and life. So what do you see in dc That you love when you read that script say okay. I kind of get her. I see where this is headed. What do you look for in a character like that. It's interesting people. Always ask me what i look for an character but i i mostly. I look for narrative i look for story and my power. We telling the story and how does it. How does it pertained all of us. And what i love about it there. Are there literally four timelines in this super complicated so you have the present day you have sort of the recent past. You have their early marriage and then you have their childhood so in a sense. It's it's like it's like that experience that we all have going through life wherever you are you carry your past and your memories with you and those things feel as real as the president so it's like how do you negotiate that as a person. How do you move on you. We don't know what the future is. We carry our past in this big kind of thing on her back. So i love that..
