They're going to try these guys again, huh? They are, Bill. Good morning. Two former First Energy executives have been re-indicted in connection with Ohio's House Bill 6 corruption scandal. Former CEO Chuck Jay Jones and External Affairs Executive Michael Dowling face a combined 22 felony charges, including corrupt activity, telecommunications fraud, conspiracy, and bribery. Prosecutors allege the men helped carry out a decade-long scheme to influence state leaders and advance the company's financial and trade. The re-indictment comes after a mistrial earlier this year when a jury could not reach a verdict. I'm Brady Hopkins. Federal officials were in Ohio on Thursday talking about Medicaid fraud, acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche announced a takedown of suspected fraudsters here in the Buckeye state. In total between our state and federal partners today, we're announcing... Charges that were either unsealed today or over the past week against 14 defendants allegedly involved in fraud schemes targeting over $50 million here in Ohio. And Todd Blanche said two state employees are among the more than dozen defendants who are being indicted in what he called some of the most significant fraud schemes in the country.

President Trump says the U.S. will win the Iran war one way or another. We're going to win our paper. Or we're going to win military. One way of the other, it's going to be militarily or on paper. On Thursday, Trump shrugged off questions about the war dragging down Republican chances in the midterm elections, again saying other U.S. wars have lasted a lot longer. He then touted good things that are going on while the war continues, including a record stock market. His comments come with conflicting reports about the progress of U.S.-Iran peace talks. The House of Representatives has approved a new military aid package for Ukraine, though it faces an uphill battle from this point. On Thursday, 18 Republicans joined with Democrats in passing the measure on a vote of 226 to 195. The bill would give $1.3 billion in assistance for Ukraine, now fighting a Russian invasion for more than four years. Former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton is expected to plead guilty to mishandle laying classified documents. That's according to multiple sources. It's part of a plea deal that will also see John Bolton pay more than a $2 million fine. An illegal retention of sensitive national security documents conviction carries a sentence between zero and 60 months in prison. John Bolton was indicted back in October. He became a strong critic of President Trump after he left the administration in 2019. I'm Mark Mayfield. More details are now being provided about the man who struck two bicyclists with his SUV and then barricaded himself inside a home in mentor. Police say 42-year-old Michael Leppelmeyer targeted two elderly men on bicycles on Headland's Road Wednesday morning. According to investigators, Leppelmeier crossed the center line in order to hit a 72-year-old head on and then got out of his vehicle and assaulted a 68-year-old and threw his bicycle into a pond. Soon after, police tracked Leppelmeier down at his... Orchard Road home where he approached officers with a knife before barricading himself inside. More than seven hours later, Leppelmeier was taken into custody. He's facing charges including felonious assault and aggravated vehicular assault. I'm Andy Betts. Both victims were taken to the hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Police in Westlake plan to begin a crackdown on loud vehicles, engine revving, racing, and overall reckless driving in and around the Crocker Park area. Plans for increased patrol details with marked and unmarked vehicles and plans to write tickets and even tow vehicles if they have to. The city calls it a quality of life issue. And the U.S. Department of Agriculture is working to stop a parasitic fly that can affect livestock, wildlife pets, and in rare cases, humans. Officials confirmed the New World Screwworm Fly was found on a calf in Texas, about 50 miles from the Mexican border, and it marks the first confirmed case in Texas since 1966. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins said response teams are already on the ground in Texas. For the latest headlines,

Excitement over artificial intelligence has been driving a string of record highs on Wall Street this year. But yesterday and early this morning, that enthusiasm had cooled. Key for traders today is the May jobs report. But let's hear it for old school stocks, driving the Dow to a new record high, soaring 875 points or 1 and 3 quarters percent. Chipmakers. were losers. As investors piled into several other industries, the SMP was up 31 points, the NASDAQ slipped 23. Lots of workers are using AI, but a new study shows that the impact on productivity and efficiency is uneven. Boston Consulting found that around three quarters of non-manager white-collar workers count themselves as regular AI users. That's up 23 percentage points from a year ago, but almost half of respondents said they spend more time managing and directing AI than doing the work itself. Get the latest business news from Bloomberg at 08 and 38 throughout the morning. I'm Gina Servetti on W.T.A.m. 1100. Felling up 2413, priced to a beat at the pump. Coming up at 6.20, we'll talk a little flying. A.V. Schnexper J. Ratliff will join me. We just got a report of a turtle located on the center line for 30 by the previous departure. This is Dulles Airport. Air Traffic Control. To investigate before you depart. Well, I think he, we heard that. We think he said at their beginning of their takeoff roll, so we can roll forward a little bit and see if we see the pilot of one of the planes. They let you know from there. They're looking for a turtle. All right. How about this? Because they don't want to hit the turtle pad. Oh, no. So now we're holding up air traffic at Dulles this week. This is kind of funny. It's very kind because they're looking for the turtle. Approved taxi ahead and just advise when you come to a stop beyond the turtle. We have been sighted. He's right at our position right here. Seriously, the turtle. The intersection of... I got to describe where he's on the runway. Where are we here? Yankee? Yankee? You're at Zulu, so there's 10,000 feet remaining from there. Okay, well, right where we're sitting right now is the turtle, and he looks very happy on the center line, so somebody might want to move him. Okay. So that nice. I'll send somebody out to move the turtle. That's a dullest international airport as we're holding up air traffic. Everybody's human. Yeah, you see a turtle. Very sweet. You've got to hold the plane. Jay Ratliff on that coming up in about 10 minutes. Plus, we'll check your day in the air. If you're flying at Cleveland Hopkins, let's get you there or wherever this morning. W-T-A-M-1100.

Guardians lose to the Yanks yesterday, 2-1, but hey, they took 2 out of 3. In Texas for the weekend. Greg Brenda's in for Mike with sports coming up. Thanks for listening to Cleveland's Morning News with Wills and Snyder. Check in throughout the day on W-T-A-M-1100. Let's talk about some of the news of the week, and we'll see more, I'm sure, with Shannon Bream on Fox News Sunday. Morning, Shannon. Good morning. How are you? I am good. Let me start with Iran, and at least a headline that I think you've got to break down a little bit. The House on Record as saying you've got to get out, but I'm not sure what that means. Well, the Senate would have to get on board with that too. And of course it goes to the president who is going to say thank you, but no thank you on this and keep moving forward. There may be potential legal challenges down the road to the War Powers Act itself that has led to this whole conversation. That may be headed to the Supreme Court. We'll see how it plays. There's a fascinating commentary, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, in the Wall Street Journal this week, saying, look, we've done a lot there. The question is, of course, how to get out of Iran. As that question happens whenever you go overseas for something like this. Exactly. And this is the whole forever war thing that the American people hate. It costs us a lot of lives and precious treasure and time and effort. I thought it was interesting, though, that she did have positive things to say. It's not, I think that she is a huge fan of President Trump, but giving credit to our military into the things that have been accomplished. But it's nipping in the butt and finding an offering, which I think the president is very much trying to do. But we all feel a bit of whiplash. Is there a deal? Have they stopped talking? Who's running the straight? I mean, all of those things still unresolved at this point. Primaries this week. Big State, California, Republicans did a little better than I think most people thought, didn't they? Yeah, and the interesting thing is we think about the exodus of conservatives out of that state over the last few years during COVID and higher taxes and all those things. So you wondered already, is there enough of a base for these candidates to have a turnout there and so far so good, although we're told it could take a couple weeks for all the voting, all the mailings that come in or even the tend to lean more progressive or more left. We see some of these numbers dwindling for the GOP candidates, but gosh, they made a splash. There's certainly an audience they're willing to listen. Without a doubt. All right. Sunday morning, got a lot on.

Fox News Sunday for us? We do. Of course, we'll be covering where the latest is on Iran. There's a lot of developments on AI, too, and the White House getting involved with that. So Sam Altman and others, we're going to hear from them on Sunday about where we go next. Look forward to it. Shannon Breen, Fox News Sunday. We'll be watching. Thank you. 615 WTAM Sports for a Friday in for Mike Snyder, Greg Brenda. Thank you, Bill. Not much offense yesterday at Yankee Stadium. Here's the 2-1 offering. Swung on ground at the second. Chisholm, gobbles, throws, and the Yankees win the finale, 2 to 1. Yeah, just one run, two hits for Cleveland, as Carlos Rodon combined with three relievers. To keep the guardians in check all afternoon, Yankees managed just five hits, but got a big one in the seventh from Ryan Linda McMahon. Cody Hoyer, trying to keep the game tied at one. He'll make his 21st pitch in the inning. He's thrown 10 balls, 10 strikes. Here it comes. Slung on Chopper in the whole basic right field. Yankees take the lead. Ryan Linda McMahon. And a walk here, followed by a steel and a wild pitch. And New York's on top, two to one in the seventh, Linda McMahon's 20th RBI. Now those late-ending walks, a killer. took the loss late. Cicone started when six, gave up a run, four hits, striking out four Jose Ramirez and Stuart Fairchild were the only two to get hits for Cleveland. Cleveland will now take on the Texas Rangers tonight in Arlington, 815 start with Parker, opposing Kumar Rocker. You can hear it right here on the big one. Now, How about the Yankees? Bad news. They will be without Aaron judged for a significant amount of time. He has been diagnosed with a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side. He will be re-imaged in four to six weeks to determine the level of healing and the next step. He is expected to return at some point this season, but right now it is a big, big blow. NBA finals, game two tonight in San Antonio. Spurs try to even up the series. Meanwhile, yesterday, a charity auction got underway for two courtside seats for game three at Madison Square Garden Monday night. Right now, the bidding... Hold on is at a half a million dollars for two tickets. A half a million dollars. By the way, the get in price right now for game three in the nosebleeds is over $7,000 a ticket. Last night in Raleigh in the Stanley Cup finals. Along the right wing boards, back up top, it's got to spare. Senate crush it. Game over! Seth Jarvis blitz it!

one-timer in Hurricanes history. Hurricanes and Golden Knights all tied up at one. If someone... Would have said 30 years ago that Carolina and Vegas would be in the Stanley Cup finals, really? And down at the Memorial, four tied for the lead after the first round, J.J. Spawn, Wyndham Clark, Tommy Fleetwood, and Ryan Gerard. Scotty Schaeffler, defending champ as won over, tied for 33rd, and had an apparent meltdown with his caddy on 16 after dumping his tee shot into the water. Well, two things. Shephler hit the shot, and if I were him, I'd just stay to the right and play it safe. All right, in for Mike Steiner on the Home of the Guardians and Cavs. Greg Brenda, W-T-A-M-Sports. We are in talks. The talks have been productive. We'll be holding talks here. Is it my turn to talk now? All day. We'll listen to what they have to say. Say, okay. I've heard no.

After a mistrial was declared earlier this year, two former first energy executives have been re-indicted for the House Bill 6 scandal. We're learning more about what led up to an hour's long standoff in Mentor earlier this week. A former pro baseball pitcher. and high school coach is facing charges of sexual assault involving a 12 year old girl and the president says the u.s is investing hundreds of millions of dollars into america's coal industry Let's talk flying, bringing aviation expert Jay Randolph on a couple of things as we get out of town maybe for the weekend or starting to vacation. We'll check your day in the air too on the way. Morning, Jay. Hey, good morning. All right. First, sometimes you got to stop even for a turtle. I love the video. Love this. A turtle brought the Dallas airport, at least one of the runways. To a stop, at least temporarily, there was a crew that was departing that radioed back, hey, there's a turtle of some size on the runway, just kind of sunning himself in the morning. So they had to have other crews kind of, you know, hey, he looks happy, and we got to, you know, take care of it. The thing is, though, anytime you've got something on the runway, it can obviously be a safety hazard. You and I've talked many times about wildlife. on the runways as being an issue. Now, obviously, we talk about bird strikes, yes. We've had airplanes that have struck deer on takeoff and landing. A moose. We've seen several times an alligator will come out and just kind of sun itself on a runway. You've got a lot of other types of things, and that's one of the reasons that when this type of thing is spotted, crews will notify air traffic control so they can get somebody out there to try to get the wildlife away from the active runway. because the most critical time of flight, we've talked about so many times before, take off and landing, and you don't want to have anything like that where it could impede an aircraft's ability to take off or to break when they land. And those things are safety issues, but it was a very acute exchange between the air traffic controllers and those pilots. One other, a couple of things. United Airlines doing an upgrade on their AI program. They say it'll help when it comes to delayed or canceled flights. Yeah, they're upgrading this. AI policy or this program they've got. Every flight has a story program is what they call it. And Bill, the thought is this upgraded system is going to help deliver what they say are automated messages without any human intervention at all. And it's going to give passengers not only updates on your flights being delayed or there's an issue with the aircraft from a mechanical standpoint. They're planning on sending pictures, a detailed explanation.

Just to let everybody know what's going on. And I remember telling the agents I worked with at Northwest, look, anytime we've got a flight delay, I want you making an announcement every 20 minutes. Even if we don't know anything more than the last update, constantly let them know the latest, and it helps control the crowd and the anxiety and the number of people asking questions. United is trying to take that to a next step where they're saying, look, we've got a mechanical situation on the plane. But here's what it is. We've got to replace a couple of, you know, light bulbs in the flight deck that have to be done before we – so in other words, it's not something like, well, we've got to make sure that wings attach, you know, because people get really freaked out when you use the word mechanical around the flight. And United's hoping this additional – communication will want help passengers to make their connections and keep them updated if the flight's delayed. One of the note here, where we live in Medina, we're less than two hours to be to Columbus Airport. We've actually flown out of there a couple times because there were directs. I couldn't get out of Cleveland. People to the east will drive to Pittsburgh sometimes. I just noticed this. Pittsburgh, American Airlines are going to suspend flights, directs they had Pittsburgh to L.A. for about three months because of fuel costs. And you're probably seeing adjustments like that really around the country. They are because there are several routes that maybe are full, but the yield or profit for passengers such, they may only be making, you know, $2,800 in profit per flight. Wow. Once the fuel cost goes up and now they're spending $8,000 more in fuel, well, now you're turning that into a loss. So the thought is we can use that airplane and crew somewhere else temporarily where the profit is higher and we can try to break even. So. Yeah, it's a game of, you know, musical chairs, and that's exactly what airlines are trying to do is they counter or try to anyways, these rising fuel costs.

But, no, I was at the Akron Civic Theater, which is a pretty wild theater the way it's designed inside if you've never been there. But, oh, they're so much fun. Just so many great songs. They're changing costumes, had the effects behind of them all. It was good. Yeah, they did all the costumes from all their different eras. Nice. And, I mean, those guys are like 70 at this point.

The new comedy starring Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas is about a boy band star who steals a song from a wedding singer to relaunch his career and the fallout that ensues. ABC audio caught up with Rudd and asked him whether or not he surprised himself with his singing ability in the film. I'm always just like, oh, God, I hope I don't fall on my face. But I feel that with just about every job. Do. Ones that require singing once and don't. Paul Rudd has also been announced as one of the presenters this weekend's Tony Awards.

I've got Greg Brent in for Mike Snyder with sports and two out of three in New York, right? I'll take it. I think anybody will take it. Two out of three, you got that, and then they return on Monday to take on the Yankees. So we'll see what happens, and we'll tell you some good news for Cleveland, some bad news for New York, Bill, because yesterday, though, runs were hard to come by at Yankee Stadium. Fortunately, the New Yorkers got one more than the Cleveland Good Guys, two to one. The final Guardians manages two hits on the day, one that got them their lone run on the four. Chance here for the Guardians to snap this scoreless tie. Two outs. Here's the pitch. And it swung on, line. Left side base hit in the left field. Scoring is Ramirez and Stuart Fairchild on his first hit as a Cleveland Guardian puts the Guardians in front. One nothing. Well, that wouldn't last long. Cicone in a jam. Second and third, nobody out. Here's his 2-2. Swung-on, line drive to left. It'll stay in as Kwan is back to make the catch. Just in front of the warning track, tagging and scoring his goldsmith. On his way to third is Bellinger, and he overslid the bag. The throw came there, and Ramirez tags him out after Bellinger. Overslid the bag and ended up in foul territory, and all Jose had to do was apply the tag. He did, and Bellinger's retired. Ryan Linda McMahon drove in the go-head and eventual winning run on the 7th to give the Yankees the lead for good. Slade Cicconi. He pitched a fine six innings of one-run four-hit ball in the loss. Manager Stephen Boat was pretty pleased. Slate was phenomenal. Six innings, one-run. Did a great job keeping us in that game. We knew kind of going into it and it needed to be a low-scoring affair. I mean, Rodon was special over there as well. But I thought Slade threw the ball. Excellent. Did his job. Give us six innings of one-run baseball. And checking two out of three, not bad either. Yeah, anytime we win a series, we're happy. Obviously, we would have loved to have gotten a sweep today, and that was definitely a game we felt like we could win. We were in it the whole way. We hit some balls hard right at people. Just weren't able to get enough going to score more than the one run. But I'm really proud of the way our guys bounced back after a tough homestand. And now get on this fight and get ready to go get Texas. Yeah, tonight the Guardians take on the Rangers in Arlington. 815 is the start time. You can hear it right here on the big one. Parker Messick on the hill for the Guardians. Meanwhile, the news is not good for the Yankees. Aaron Judge will be out for an indefinite period of time. He has a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side. He will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks to see. Just where he's at. New York expects him to be back at some... point later on this season, but for the next month or so, he will not be in the Yankee lineup. Game two of the NBA finals tonight in San Antonio, and in order for the spurs to get back on track, they got to shoot a lot better. How about this? Sound familiar? Wednesday night, the spurs shot just 36%. They were 26% from beyond the arc, missing 32 of 43, and they were outscored in the paint 50 to 42.

Sounds very familiar. Stanley Cup finals, Seth Jarvis scored a power play for goal in overtime. That gave Carolina a 4-3 win over the Las Vegas Golden Knights. And down at the Memorial in Dublin, Ohio, four tied for the lead. J.J. Spawn, Wyndham Clark, Tommy Fleetwood, and Ryan Gerard. Defending champs, Scotty Sheffler is tied for 33 at one over, and Rory McElroy tied for 13th at one under. In for Mike Snyder, around the home of the Guardians and Cavs. Greg Brinda, W-T-A-M-Sports.
