The Update- June 5th
from The Update with Brandon Julien · host Brandon Julien
In today’s edition of The Update Journal, we return to the CBS drama because apparently yesterday’s “60 Minutes” story was not finished — it was just buffering. Scott Pelley gets fired, CBS somehow looks at one of the most respected journalists in the building and says, “You know what this newsroom needs? Less alarm system,” and Knicks coverage is partly responsible for why we had to circle back like a subway train skipping your stop.Then, Dunkin’ enters its new $6 Meal Deal era, where breakfast has officially been wrapped, folded, and placed into witness protection until August 12th. The old deal is gone, the wraps are here, and somewhere a hash brown is asking if it needs a lawyer.And finally, The Last Word brings us The Calm Before the Real Summer Storm — that brief, suspicious window where summer is technically here, but the full heat, humidity, schedule chaos, and “why am I sweating indoors?” phase hasn’t fully attacked yet. Enjoy the breeze while it lasts. It has terms and conditions.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Friday, a massive fire tore through multiple buildings of a historic psychiatric facility in the Hudson Valley, wild footage shows. The blaze erupted at the abandoned Hudson River Psychiatric Center in Poughkeepsie, which was established in 1867 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007 after closing years earlier, according to Pix 11.This nut didn’t fall too far from the tree. Teflon Don John Gotti’s grandson is back in cuffs for allegedly slapping and choking his gal pal – just days before he was due to start serving a prison sentence for stealing COVID relief funds.And out in the American West in Los Angeles, after a tough first term framed by the most destructive wildfire in city history and an ongoing struggle with widespread homelessness, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass advanced to a November runoff as she fights to stay in City Hall against challengers from both ends of the political spectrum.
