The Update with Brandon Julien

Hello everyone! We're going into #TheUpdate vault to play one of our many episodes throughout our many years of the show. For today's episode, we go into the world of 2020- or as we call it around here, Year 4 of The Update. It was a weird year- starting off in the WKRB studios and then going out on the road (in the middle of a pandemic no less!), but somehow, we found a way to make it work. Oh, and one last thing about this episode- after the show aired, one of my former producers who happened to be listening to the show called me up and invited me out to lunch. How about that?

As we count down to Election Day, the drama at City Hall has hit that stage where the debates feel less like political forums and more like reality TV — minus the commercial breaks and with slightly better lighting. Washington isn't doing much better either — we've reached Day 22 of the government shutdown, which means federal workers are running out of patience, and the rest of us are running out of new ways to say “still no deal.” Then, just when you thought the week couldn't get any stranger, the internet decided to take a sick day. Planes were grounded, banks froze up, and for a few terrifying hours, people actually had to talk to each other. It was like a mass social experiment no one signed up for. And through all this chaos, we somehow found time to argue about Halloween — specifically, whether trick-or-treating with pillowcases and carving lopsided pumpkins was better than today's LED-lit, algorithm-approved version. Spoiler alert: back then, our biggest outage was running out of candy.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Wednesday, an immigration enforcement sweep targeting vendors on Manhattan's famed Canal Street turned chaotic after droves of angry New Yorkers surrounded federal agents and attempted to block them from driving off, prompting arrests and fierce standoffs along a bustling downtown corridor.We continue our coverage of The Road To City Hall. With 13 days to go until the general election, New York City's mayoral candidates are set to meet for their final debate, with Democrat Zohran Mamdani looking to stay in control of a race increasingly seen as his to win while former Gov. Andrew Cuomo amps up the pressure on Republican Curtis Sliwa to drop out.And OpenAI introduced its own web browser, Atlas, putting the ChatGPT maker in direct competition with Google as more internet users rely on artificial intelligence to answer their questions.

Between Halloween creeping closer, Tommie's recovery still weighing on my mind, and the final two weeks of the City Hall race tightening up, it feels like the city and my life are running on the same kind of caffeine-fueled chaos. The government shutdown hits Day 21 with no end in sight, the Dodgers and Blue Jays set up a USA-vs-Canada World Series for the ages, and even our Halloween shoot turned into a full-blown comedy — fake fog, flying props, and Tommie laughing so hard we couldn't finish the take. It's a week of wild turns, good stories, and a reminder that even in the madness, there's always something to smile about.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, at least eight pedestrians were injured, one critically, when the driver of a box truck collided with a parked van that hopped a curb in Chelsea, according to authorities.An infant girl was discovered abandoned on the stairs leading to a New York City subway stop in midtown Manhattan during the busy morning commute.And Amazon says a massive outage of its cloud computing service has been resolved, after a problem disrupted internet use around the world, taking down a broad range of online services, including social media, gaming, food delivery, streaming and financial platforms.

On another off day in town, get comfy with some random thoughts inside The Update Journal.

On another weekend in town, get comfy with some random thoughts inside The Update Journal.

From humiliation to almost interesting — the Yankees somehow managed to turn a 13–7 loss into a moral victory, even if it still counts as an “L” in the scorebook. Meanwhile, in Washington, it's Day 6 of the Government Shutdown, and absolutely nobody's blinking. And finally — the Great Recess Return. For the first time since May, the schoolyard is alive again with shouts, sneakers, and a few “Coach Brandon!” moments. We'll talk about the chaos, the nostalgia, and that feeling when it all starts again.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, NYPD officers fatally shot an armed man after a brief foot chase in Brooklyn.A worker at a Brooklyn discount store tried to foil a would-be shoplifter — only to get stabbed. The 30-year-old victim, who was not identified, was working at a Family Dollar store on Flatlands Avenue in East New York around 11:48 a.m. when she was slashed by the thief, police and sources said.And in Washington, a federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying any National Guard units to Oregon at all, after a legal whirlwind that began hours earlier when the president mobilized California troops for Portland after the same judge blocked him from using Oregon's National Guard the day before.

While the government shutdown continues, come enjoy a little laugh inside The Update Journal.

Today, we're diving headfirst into October baseball — starting with the ALDS preview between the Yankees and Blue Jays. One team's got the momentum, the other's got the maple syrup. Meanwhile, back in Queens, the Mets purge under Carlos Mendoza continues. Players are being shipped out faster than the 7 train leaves Times Square, and it's starting to feel less like a rebuild and more like a reality show: Extreme Roster Makeover – Citi Field Edition. On Day 4 of the Government Shutdown, things aren't looking any better. Lawmakers are still pointing fingers, staffers are still furloughed, and the Capitol cafeteria's probably running out of coffee — which explains a lot. And finally, a programming note: we're changing the formula for The Update on off days. Don't worry — it's not a total overhaul. Think of it like a diet soda with a little more flavor, not New Coke, where everyone rioted until they brought the old one back. This one still tastes like The Update… just with fewer calories and more laughs.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Saturday, Sean “Diddy” Combs was sentenced to four years and two months in prison for transporting people across state lines for sexual encounters, capping a sordid federal case that featured harrowing testimony and ended in a forceful reckoning for one of the most influential figures in hip-hop.Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer was left off the Toronto Blue Jays' roster for their AL Division Series against the New York Yankees along with injured shortstop Bo Bichette and right-hander Chris Bassitt.And in Washington, hopes for a quick end to the government shutdown faded as Democrats refused to budge in a Senate vote and President Trump readied plans to unleash layoffs and cuts across the federal government.

From baseball to bureaucracy to bizarre beverages — today's lineup in The Update Journal is one for the books. First up: Game 2 of the Yankees–Red Sox Wild Card series. The Yankees pulled off the comeback win to keep their season alive, which means fans can breathe again… at least until tomorrow. Then, it's Day 2 of the Government Shutdown — or as Washington likes to call it, “Take Your Blame Game to Work Day.” And finally, our Chocolate Egg Cream Soda review — a drink that nobody asked for, but Arizona made anyway. It's chocolate, it's creamy, it's carbonated… and it's confused. It's like drinking a dessert that's also having an identity crisis.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Thursday, a massive brick chimney running 20 stories up the side of a New York City apartment building in the Bronx collapsed after an explosion, sending tons of debris plummeting to the ground.President Trump's administration, citing the government shutdown, said it was putting a hold on roughly $18 billion to fund a new rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River between New York City and New Jersey and an extension of the city's Second Avenue subway.And overseas, an assailant drove a car at people outside a synagogue in northern England and then began stabbing people, killing two and wounding three in an attack on the holiest day of the Jewish year, police said.

In The Update Journal, it's Politics, Pennants, and Pumpkins. It's a Monday packed with drama both political and personal. First, the race to City Hall takes a sharp detour as Mayor Adams suddenly exits the stage, shaking up what was already a crowded field. Then, the Mets' season of promise ends in heartbreak, capping off one of the most disappointing collapses in team history. Over in the American League, the AL Central finishes in pure chaos, with the Guardians completing one of baseball's most improbable comebacks. And finally — to lighten things up — what you didn't see behind the camera on our Halloween prep was… well, let's just say there were props, pumpkins, and one mad professor who forgot where he left the fog machine.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, we continue our coverage of The Road To City Hall. With just 36 days to go until the general election, we're going to guarantee ourselves a new mayor. Mayor Adams ended his struggling reelection campaign, an acknowledgment that he was no longer a credible contender after a year of scandal and political turmoil. Also, we'll talk about from recalling his “shorty” in Queens to making heart hands with a robot, some of Adams' most ridiculous moments.Thousands of runners retraced a fallen New York City firefighter's desperate race to the twin towers Sunday to honor the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks – and raise over $1 million for survivors and their families. And in Michigan, an ex-Marine smashed a pickup into a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints church, opened fire and set the building ablaze during a crowded Sunday service and then was fatally shot by police. At least four people were killed and eight wounded, and authorities were searching the building ruins for more victims.

We're closing out the week inside The Update Journal. Former FBI Director James Comey's now the one facing questions — and this time, he's not the one asking them. We'll break down the charges and the irony behind them. Then, in Episode 3 of the Mets Playoff Chase Diary, the Amazins' season continues to hang by a thread — and that thread's starting to fray. And in The Last Word, as the leaves fall and the air turns crisp, a reminder that change doesn't have to be loud to be beautiful — though try telling that to a New Yorker with a leaf blower.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Friday, The 13-year-old boy gunned down outside a Queens Dunkin' Donuts this week was slain over a gang beef, police claimed— as they identified a fellow teenager as the suspected killer.Grand Central Terminal experienced a brief blackout that left some MTA workers trapped in an elevator and thousands of others left to navigate the cavernous halls with the glow of their cellphones.And in Washington, James Comey was charged with lying to Congress in a criminal case filed days after President Trump appeared to urge his attorney general to prosecute the former FBI director and other perceived political enemies.

There's a load of extras in The Update Journal. In Episode 2 of the Mets Playoff Diary, the Amazins crash back to Earth in a 10–3 loss to the Cubs, squandering a golden chance to pad their lead on the Reds. Meanwhile, over in the AL Central, the Guardians have pulled off the baseball equivalent of climbing Mount Everest in flip-flops—coming all the way back from 15 and a half games down to now hold a one-game lead on the Tigers with just four to play. Two collapses, two storylines, and enough comedy to make you wonder if anyone in baseball actually wants to win. Also, The eyes have it. Gen Z daters prefer their prospective partners look, don't touch while flirting, per eye-popping new data. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Thursday, an off-duty NYPD officer shot a man who allegedly tried to rob her and her husband in Penn Station.A woman visiting the Big Apple from Germany with her husband was killed and nearly decapitated when a hit-and-run minivan driver plowed into the couple in Midtown. And in Texas, a shooter with a rifle opened fire from a nearby roof onto a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement location in Dallas, killing one detainee and wounding two others in a transport van before taking his own life, authorities said.

On this off day, catch up with some funny things inside The Update Journal.

On today's bonus edition of The Update Journal, we're stepping into two different kinds of chaos. First up: Jimmy Kimmel is back on the air after his suspension was quietly lifted, which means Disney has officially decided it's safer to deal with angry late-night monologues than angry mobs camped out on their front lawn. And then there's the Mets — oh, the Mets — who are somehow flirting with a collapse so spectacular it could rival 2007 and 2008. Translation: if the Mets and Reds both finish with the same record, the Mets finish even further out of the playoffs due to the Reds' tiebreaker.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, while close to 150 world leaders prepared to descend on Manhattan for the U.N. General Assembly, the U.S. Secret Service was quietly dismantling a massive hidden telecom network across the New York area — a system investigators say could have crippled cell towers, jammed 911 calls and flooded networks with chaos at the very moment the city was most vulnerable.We continue our coverage of The Road To City Hall. With six weeks to go until the general election, mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani said he's willing to appear at a town hall hosted by a local ABC station now that the national network says it will reinstate Jimmy Kimmel's late night show.And in Washington, President Trump used the platform of the presidency to promote unproven and in some cases discredited ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism as his administration announced a wide-ranging effort to study the causes of the complex brain disorder.

In The Update Journal: If I wasn't covering the news today, I'd probably be…In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, we continue our coverage of The Road To City Hall. With 43 days to go until the general election, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic Minority leader from Brooklyn, is in discussions to endorse lefty Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani for mayor, sources said. Meanwhile, “A substantial” number of Gen Z voters supporting socialist NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani have been brainwashed by leftist ideology into an army of “nasty,” USA-hating radicals — who routinely accost rival Mayor Eric Adams on the campaign trail.A Bronx man was fatally shot on the sidewalk near his home after a witness said they heard two men arguing, police sources said.And in the American West, President Trump praised Charlie Kirk as a “great American hero” and “martyr” for freedom as he and other prominent conservatives gathered Sunday evening to honor the slain conservative political activist whose work they say they must now advance.

The Last Word: “Fridays remind us—no matter how the week was, we made it through.”In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Friday, A New York City high school student was arrested after bringing a loaded gun to class and writing on social media that he wanted to “shoot the school up,” authorities said.More than a dozen elected officials were arrested while protesting conditions at a New York City immigration holding facility where a federal judge this week extended a court order requiring the government to shape up its treatment of detainees.And the Kimmel fallout continues. Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon opened their late-night shows Thursday using a mix of humor and solidarity with suspended ABC host Jimmy Kimmel.

In The Update Journal: Jimmy Kimmel Live is suddenly off the air after his Monday night monologue sparked outrage over comments about Republicans and the Charlie Kirk fallout. We'll take a step back from the headlines and look at the bigger picture—what this means for late-night comedy, why advertisers panic faster than I do when my phone battery hits 2%, and whether this might mark the beginning of the end for an institution that used to be America's bedtime ritual.In the headlines on The Update this Thursday, a proposed Caesars Palace casino in Times Square that's backed by Jay-Z lost its bid for a gambling license after running into fierce opposition from Broadway theater owners and producers who were worried about its potential impact on the theater district.Mayor Adams threw his support behind a proposal to end the horse-drawn carriages that have been fixtures in Central Park for more than 150 years as he ordered police to more stringently enforce laws already on the books to rein in the industry.And ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show indefinitely after comments that he made about Charlie Kirk's killing led a group of ABC-affiliated stations to say it would not air the show and provoked some ominous comments from a top federal regulator.

It's the first Brandon's Take- Tech vs. Tradition: You know, it's funny—everywhere you look, tech is supposed to be making life “easier.” We've got smart fridges that text you when you're low on milk, watches that tell you how many steps you didn't take today, and even apps that order dinner before you realize you're hungry. But sometimes, I wonder if in all this convenience, we're losing a little of the tradition that grounded us.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Wednesday, a New York judge threw out terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione, rejecting the Manhattan district attorney's theory in a state murder case that the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was “intended to evoke terror.”Robert Redford, the Hollywood golden boy who became an Oscar-winning director, liberal activist and godfather for independent cinema under the name of one of his best-loved characters, died at 89.And out in the American West, prosecutors brought a murder charge against the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk and outlined evidence, including a text message confession to his partner and a note left beforehand saying he had the opportunity to kill one of the nation's leading conservative voices “and I'm going to take it.”

Think again. We've all been there — you reheat or cook something, you get distracted and then suddenly your smoke alarm is going off. Your first thought is to throw out that burnt food — but think again because an EMT says that's the most fire-hazardous thing you could do.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, two teens were wounded in a cop-involved shooting after NYPD officers fired their weapons to stop a Harlem gunfight involving the victims and an 18-year-old attempted murderer who was out free due to a controversial law.A potential strike that could have shut down the nation's largest commuter rail system this week has been averted.And less than two weeks before Charlie Kirk's assassination in Utah, a sheriff's department in central California conducted three days of reconnaissance to prepare for a speech by the conservative firebrand at a local church in politically friendly territory.

In The Update Journal: Something I'm really looking forward to is Halloween and spending time with my partner Tommie, even when time will get tight with my work schedule gradually picking up again.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, we continue our coverage of The Road To City Hall. Gov. Kathy Hochul urged New Yorkers to vote Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York City, giving the Democratic nominee one of his most significant endorsements to date in the contest to lead the nation's biggest city.The crazed drunk driver accused of mowing down a 16-year-old on a Queens sidewalk after she rejected his lewd advances was charged with murder Saturday night — and it's not the first time he was nabbed driving under the influence. And overseas, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he will be seeking answers from Israeli officials about how they see the way forward in Gaza following Israel's attack on Hamas operatives in Qatar that has upended efforts to broker an end to the conflict.

In The Update Journal- Behind the mic, what you didn't see was the juggling act happening in real time. On the outside, it may have sounded smooth and put-together, but just out of view was me frantically checking scripts, making sure the next segment was queued up, and giving myself a mental pep talk.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Friday, nearly half of Long Island Rail Road workers are threatening to walk off the job as early as next week — and the MTA's plan to deal with the “looming strike” is by telling riders to work from home.Out of the darkness… A stunning symbolic display of light dazzled visitors at World Trade Center's Oculus — an annual moment of remembrance that occurs every Sept. 11 at exactly 10:28 a.m.And out in the American West, a 22-year-old Utah man who was arrested and booked on murder charges in the assassination of Charlie Kirk held deep disdain for the conservative activist's provocative viewpoints and indicated to a family member that he was responsible for the shooting, authorities say.

One state is lovin' fast food more than the others. New data from QR Code Generator has revealed which states are considered the fast food capitals of America — and which chains are the most popular in each.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Wednesday, a couple in their 70s was killed Monday in what the police commissioner said was a “horrific double homicide, robbery and arson” — the man tied to a pole and stabbed, the woman's body severely burned as their home went up in flames.The names of nearly 40 more heroic New York City firefighters who died from 9/11-caused illnesses were added to the FDNY's emotional World Trade Center memorial at the department's Brooklyn headquarters.And in Washington, Chief Justice John Roberts temporarily kept in place the Trump administration's decision to freeze nearly $5 billion in foreign aid.

In The Update Journal- This time of year always reminds me of couples being together doing couple things.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, an elderly couple found dead after a fire tore through a Queens home were tied up inside, sources said, with video showing a mystery man entering their home before the double homicide.Howard Stern, the popular and highly paid radio host, returned to SiriusXM's airwaves Monday after trolling listeners into thinking he had departed his long-running show.And in Washington, The Supreme Court cleared the way for federal agents to conduct sweeping immigration operations for now in Los Angeles, the latest victory for President Donald Trump's administration at the high court.
