Okay, all right. Good to see you. It's Wednesday, September 6, 2023 and this brand new day starts now.

Welcome to it. It's first thing with Kevin Mano, a quick and efficient look at all the headlines.

About 15 minutes, rip through them all, and you feel like you know what's going on in the world.

A few celebrity birthdays before we get to the news.

Pippa Middleton, Idris Elba, he rules singer Macy Gray, Rosie Perez, Jeff, you might be a redneck

too many times. I move it on the sports here. There's been an update regarding the women's

soccer team from Spain. World cup winners, people have been waiting to see what might happen to

their Federation President Luis Rubialas after he kissed a player on the mouth while the team
