| 0:00.0 | 93-3-3-WMR Audio on Demand presents the Preston and Steve Show podcast. |
| 0:08.4 | And now, Preston and Steve's news updates with Kathy Romano. |
| 0:13.1 | And today is Wednesday, June 3rd. |
| 0:15.5 | Good morning, Kathy. |
| 0:16.7 | Good morning in the news this morning. |
| 0:18.2 | Early Wednesday morning, the bronze statue of former Philadelphia mayor and police commissioner Frank Rizzo was removed from the steps of the municipal services building in Center City. The statue was damaged on Saturday when crowds tried to bring it down and eventually set it on fire. Crews removed the statue from the Thomas Payne Plaza around 2 a.m. on Wednesday. The 10-foot-tall bronze statue was erected in 1998 and in recent |

| 1:25.1 | in Parkside and West Philadelphia. |
| 1:26.6 | The shop right in the Park West Town Center was looted for 15 straight hours and completely destroyed. |
| 1:33.2 | The owner says they didn't just take the merchandise. They smashed all of his computers, |
| 1:37.3 | cameras, and cash registers. I need somebody to please explain to me how this represents getting |
| 1:41.8 | justice for George Floyd, one disgusted resident said on Facebook. The owner said that he called police over and over again, but they |
