It's the media buzz meter with Howard Kurtz.

All right, this heat wave is out of control.

98 degrees here in DC yesterday.

The mercury hit 100 in places like New York,

and Boston, half the country is just sweltering. And then the thing is, I mean, look,

it's summer, it's hot, I get it. But it just seems to be going on for a large number of days

and no relief in sight. People are changing their work schedules, you know, doing things early.

Why doesn't the president do something about this? And when it

gets down to a more reasonable, I don't know, 88 degrees, I think we'll all be grateful if you're

living somewhere where you're not enduring this heat wave. Good for you. Yeah, no rain. Although I

think it is supposed to rain this week.

That might help a little bit.

But it is, I think the air conditioning repair people are doing quite well.

Let's put it this way.

Hey, before we dive in, and I do want to talk about the toppling of Andrew Cuomo, quite an interesting, fascinating story

that unfolded yesterday in New York City.

I talked a bit about the NBA playoffs, one in game seven by the Oklahoma City Thunder,

but Tyrese Halliburton, who is by far the best and most dangerous player on the Indiana

Pacers, not only got injured for the crucial game seven,

but he has expected the team says to miss all of next season.

I mean, that has an effect on the franchise.

But boy, pulling that Achilles tendon can really sideline your career.
