It's the Brian Laira Show on WNYC. Good morning, everyone. It's coming up to 10 o'clock in the morning,

and it's already 86 degrees, according to my app, heading for 100 by mid-afternoon.

I don't know if we'll find any callers in our New York area-based listenership

with personal experience or family experience in the coal mining industry, but we will be looking

for you in about a half hour. That's coming up. And later we'll have the second to last segment

in our WNYC Centennial series. A hundred of 100 Things, it's number 99 for Pride Month,

100 years of the fight for LGBTQ rights.

So primary day coverage plus other things this morning.

And don't forget, we'll have primary night coverage and results until 10 o'clock tonight,

including an hour with guests and calls that I'll be hosting in the 10 o'clock tonight, including an hour with guests and
