The Knicks are NBA Champios, New Yorkers unite and respond, we break down the new world we live in and the clincher.
In the summertime, many New Yorkers will be planning to host family or friends for a weekend visit. With all there is to do in the city, how do you decide what to do or where to take them? Haidee Chu, a reporter for The City Reporter who also writes their Summer and the City newsletter, discusses how to be a good tour guide for a friend this summer, and weighs in on which New York touristy activities are actually worth it.

Industrial Development Authorities (IDAs) exist to give local officials the ability to promote economic development by awarding tax breaks to companies. Critics contend that many of the projects fail to deliver on promised job creation and push for greater accountability for performance. Ron Deutsch of New Yorkers for Fiscal Fairness and Reimagine Albany talks to Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine about the largely unsuccessful efforts to enact reforms in the recent legislative session.
Hour 3 of the Bob Rose Show, on the peace deal with Iran, and the NBA championship win by the NY Knicks. Why do New Yorkers celebrate by rioting and tearing up their city? How about a 950 lb marlin catch NC-style. Plus, all of Monday morning's biggest news stories for 6-15-26.
The Knicks finally did it. Bomani Jones reacts to the New York Knicks winning the NBA championship, Jalen Brunson's legendary 45-point closeout performance, and what this title means for New York City. Bo breaks down how Brunson cemented himself as the king of New York, why the Knicks' depth, conditioning, and maturity ultimately separated them from the Spurs, and how Mike Brown coached a championship-level series. Bomani also reflects on the unique relationship between the Knicks and New York City — from Madison Square Garden to the streets, bars, parks, and neighborhoods that turned this championship run into a citywide experience. Why does this title feel different from other championships? Why do the Knicks hit New Yorkers so deeply? And what does this moment say about basketball as theater, culture, and community? Plus, Bomani discusses the start of the World Cup, the excitement around the U.S. men's national team, and the experience of international fans discovering America through sports, road trips, Waffle House, Buc-ee's, and the South.

Hey everyone, I'm Dustin Breeze, your artificial intelligence meteorologist, bringing you real-time weather analysis without the bias or the bad hair days! So here's the thing about today in New York City. We're starting with those classic increasing clouds, and honestly, it's giving me the same energy as the city before a Friday night out. We're looking at a high near eighty-four Fahrenheit with south winds kicking up from five to ten miles per hour this afternoon to eleven to sixteen miles per hour. Pretty pleasant actually, but here's where it gets spicy. Tonight, folks, we've got showers and possibly thunderstorms before two in the morning. I'd say there's a seventy to eighty percent chance of precipitation, so you might want to keep an umbrella handy. We're talking a quarter to half inch of rainfall, and with these south winds at thirteen to eighteen miles per hour shifting west after midnight, things are definitely going to get active. You could say the forecast is about to have a real stormy personality! Now let me break down your three day forecast because we've got some serious weather shifts happening. Monday is going to be absolutely gorgeous. Sunny skies, high near seventy-five Fahrenheit, northwest winds at eleven to seventeen miles per hour. This is the kind of day where even New Yorkers will smile at each other on the subway. Tuesday stays beautiful with sunny conditions, a high near seventy-three Fahrenheit, and light winds becoming southerly in the afternoon. Basically, Mother Nature is giving us a gift here. By Wednesday, we're looking at another chance of showers between eight in the morning and two in the afternoon, then showers and thunderstorms possible after that. High near seventy-three Fahrenheit with a fifty percent chance of precipitation. It's not a washout, but definitely have those rain plans ready. Now let's talk Weather Playbook because I need to geek out about something real quick. Wind shear! That's when wind speed and direction change at different altitudes in the atmosphere. It's absolutely critical for thunderstorm development because it can either help a storm organize and intensify or tear it apart. Think of it like this: if you have wind from different directions at different heights, it tilts the storm updraft, which keeps the cold downdraft air separate from the warm updraft. That's how supercells form! It's basically atmospheric architecture, and it's incredible. Looking ahead, Thursday brings a forty percent chance of showers with highs near eighty-two Fahrenheit. Juneteenth weekend is looking partly sunny with a thirty percent chance of showers and a high near seventy-seven Fahrenheit. Saturday wraps things up beautifully with sunny skies and a high near seventy-nine Fahrenheit. That's perfect weather for whatever celebrations you've got planned across the city.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Darnell Nurse trade request, the Mike Babcock rumours, and much more.The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about the Darnell Nurse trade request that just came down today, and how it seems like we're walking toward the end of an era in Edmonton. While there's little doubt that Nurse's contract became a problem, the reality is that he was also a very good Oiler for a very long time. Despite the contract being a sticking point, the reality is that Nurse is a guy who gave his all to the city and the franchise.Shifting gears, the boys discussed the Mike Babcock rumours that have kicked up over the last week, and how just hearing his name was enough to trigger the entire fanbase. While there are a handful of Oilers fans who legitimately think this could work, the vast majority of them hate the idea to their core. That led the boys to discuss which guys would be better options for the Oilers, and whether they would even be interested in getting out of their own way.Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with a breakdown of the Knicks' Game 4 win, New Yorkers embracing the moment, and recapped Tyler's trip down to Vegas, what it was like being at the Cup Final when you don't care. Even with the lack of Oilers games, it's always remarkable to see how much news can happen in Edmonton even though the team hasn't been on the ice in months. Hosted on Acast.

They reflect on his history as a notorious con artist and how his recent antics at the NBA Finals showcased his delusion of grandeur, much to the dismay of New Yorkers.

With guests including Bob Cesca and Malcolm Nance, they tackle the absurdity of Trump's claims about Iran, the ongoing fallout from the Epstein files, and the hypocrisy of Republican narratives around child protection.

Hour 3: A plea for fans to behave respectfully and the Knicks will win if they run the offense though KAT. Act like New Yorkers instead of Philadelphians and let the offense flow through KAT, trust Jalen late and win game 4.
Tonight, Don is back on the streets of New York to check in with Knicks fans ahead of the next big game. Is the energy different now that Trump isn't in attendance? And after the last loss, do New Yorkers really think he jinxed the team?
This week, we ask the question nobody thought we'd be asking in 2026: Could Stephen A. Smith be president? Apparently, Donald Trump isn't buying it. We break down Trump's comments and discuss whether the First Take legend's State of the Union address would simply be 90 minutes of yelling, "Stay off the WEED!"Then we dive into the latest verdict involving Karmelo Anthony and the reactions that followed. As always, social media proved once again that nobody waits for all the facts before posting paragraphs longer than the Constitution.Meanwhile, New York Knicks fans gathered for a watch party and somehow transformed "Let's go Knicks!" into "Let's go to jail!" We examine how a celebration turned into a riot and why New Yorkers treat sporting events with the same intensity as medieval invasions.And finally, we head to California, where election season resembles a reality show written by people who have never met each other. From gubernatorial hopefuls to campaign promises that sound like rejected movie scripts, we take a look at why California politics continues to provide enough material for comedians to retire comfortably.It's sports hysteria, presidential hot takes, courtroom drama, and political theater—all in one episode.So grab your popcorn, avoid flipping any cars after the game, and remember: in California, every election is just "Survivor" with campaign signs.

Opie is exhausted but absolutely fired up in this episode! After staying up late watching the Knicks get destroyed (thanks to the Trump Jinx?), he rants hard about how Trump turned Madison Square Garden into a maximum-security prison, shut down Midtown Manhattan, and forced fans to wait 4+ hours in the heat for a game they paid thousands for. From the insane presidential motorcade and empty avenues to the boos drowning out the national anthem, Opie calls it straight: "Trump is a selfish piece of sh*t" who doesn't care about regular New Yorkers. Plus Ron the Waiter is back with laughs, Knicks strategy breakdowns (Wembanyama terror, turnovers, refs), Opie's chaotic beach move day, raccoon problems, the tick-removal flamethrower fund, and classic Opie & Ron chaos.If you love raw, no-filter sports talk mixed with politics, NYC life, and comedy — this is the episode.

He tells us about how their trip was almost canceled because of threats from the KKK. He describes the tension as they took the trip, and talks about how transformative of an experience it was. Alan then talks about the importance of joy in hard times.

He talks about how he became friends with his political enemies and how that was crucial in nullifying them and getting them on his side. He and Kelly talk about the importance of continuing to talk to people you may disagree with.

Tonight, Don hits the streets of New York City to ask Knicks fans the question everyone is talking about: how do they feel about Donald Trump showing up to the biggest Knicks game in decades? The Knicks are on fire, the city is electric, and New Yorkers are not holding back.
Don hit the streets of New York City to ask Knicks fans how they feel about Donald Trump coming to town for the Finals, and let's just say, New Yorkers had some thoughts. The city is buzzing with excitement for the Knicks, but there was one clear message: fans want basketball, not politics. Can New Yorkers have one thing without Trump ruining it?
Revolutionary New York: 250 Years of Social Change (SUNY Press, 2026), edited by Bruce Dearstyne and published by SUNY Press, examines what the volume calls the “unfinished revolutions” of the Empire State. In sixteen essays by a varied cast of authors, the book explores efforts to achieve what the editor describes as the full promise of the revolution. Central to the book are ordinary New Yorkers who faced great challenges, such as the Oneida who tried to maintain sovereignty in the era of the American Revolution, women winning the vote, and African American soldiers who served in the United States Army in World War I. Together, Dearstyne writes, they tell a story of “the two-and-a-half century struggle to realize the Revolution's ideals and bring increased freedom and opportunities to marginalized populations.” Dearstyne is the editor of this volume and the author of several books, including The Spirit of New York: Defining Events in the Empire State's History and The Crucible of Public Policy: New York Courts in the Progressive Era. Robert Snyder, interviewing for the New Books Network and the Gotham Center for New York Cit History, is professor emeritus of Journalism and American Studies at Rutgers University. He is the author of When the City Stopped: Stories from New York's Essential Workers (Cornell, 2025), winner of the Fiorello LaGuardia Book Prize. rwsnyder@rutgers.edu Learn more about your ad choices.

This is the All Local 4:00 p.m. update for Sunday, June 7th, 2026.
The New York Knicks are the ultimate New York City sporting franchise. Why would we make such a big claim? It's all in the name. The Knicks were founded in 1946 as one of the inaugural teams from the sports professional league which became the National Basketball Association (NBA). Their owner Ned Irish, from Madison Square Garden, chose the name Knickerbockers, quite literally pulled it from a hat, because the word evoked the spirit of Old New York and the early days of Dutch New Amsterdam. However there were no notable Knickerbockers in the original Dutch settlement. Where did this odd name come from? Tom and Greg go on the hunt for the origins of this unusual name, charting a course through the Hudson River Valley in the early 19th century -- to the romantic Knickerbocker Mansion in Schaghticoke, and then following the various wanderings of a young Washington Irving. His character Diedrich Knickerbocker would not only bend the will of history, he would inspire generations of New Yorkers to boast traces of their lineage to the city's Dutch past. By the Gilded Age, it would be a stand-in for New Yorkers in general, adhered to steamships, hotels and even beer And so the spirit of Washington Irving shines down upon the Knicks to this day!
