92 segmentsHey there from CNN. I'm David Rind with the five things you need to know for Tuesday, June 23rd. The Supreme Court handed down opinions today, but spoiler alert, we're going to have to wait a little longer for the major cases. The big outstanding decisions include issues of birthright citizenship, the independence of the Federal Reserve, the ability of presidents to fire leaders of independent agencies, and transgender sports bans. We did get a decision today, though, involving religious freedom. Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that a devout Rostafarian, who attempted to sue prison officials in Louisiana for cutting his dreadlocks, could not proceed with his case. The court's three liberals dissented. The conservative majority usually sides in favor of religious claims, but said here that local officials were not aware of the details of federal law that protecting religion and therefore the inmate's case was invalid.
The court has two weeks in its turn to announce rulings on the rest of the pending cases. All right, coming up, Big Apple, Big Surve. scrutiny in the latest batch of primary elections. Stick around.

It's another primary day in America. Voters are going to the polls in South Carolina, Maryland, Utah, and New York. New York is really one to watch because it's a test of the influence of New York City mayor as Iran-Zohran Mamdani, that Democratic Socialists endorse candidates in three house races, including against Democratic incumbents and two of them. One of those incumbents is Congressman Dan Goldman, who represents New York's 10th district, which comprises lower Manhattan in parts of Brooklyn, he told CNN that the question of his supportive Israel has become a major flashpoint just as it has in the wider Democratic Party.
I have many issues with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but simply because I support the existence of Israel as a Jewish state, as the only Jewish state, does not by any means mean that I support everything that government does. And in fact, I do not. And I've been very open about that. And I think it's really dangerous when people start conflating the actions of the Israeli government with American Jews who have absolutely nothing to do with what is going on in Israel. The 12th Congressional District Uptown in Manhattan is also of note since the field is really crowded.
It features Robert F. Kennedy Jr. family member Jack Sloshberg, the anti-Trump former Republican George Com. and Alex Boris, a state assemblyman and former Palantier employee who has been scorned by pro-artificial intelligence groups for co-sponsoring a state artificial intelligence safety law last year. Intelligence agencies known as the Five Eyes are warning that AI-powered models capable of overwhelming defenses erected by governments and businesses could arrive within months, not years. The Five Eyes, which comprises intelligence services from the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, say advanced AI models are lowering barriers for hackers and boosting the speed and sophistication of potential attacks. Officials are urging organizations to strengthen cybersecurity now by upgrading outdated systems,
limiting access to critical networks, and investing in stronger defenses. Experts say large corporations are generally better prepared, while many small and medium-sized businesses could be especially vulnerable. I wanted to just take the opportunity to ask people, to really beg people to come forward. somebody knows something. We are in agony. We cannot be at peace. That was Savannah Guthrie talking about the possible death of her mother Nancy on the Today Show this morning. This all comes after new reporting says a note that was sent to multiple media outlets back in February said Nancy Guthrie had died. That's what multiple law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation told CNN.
It was the second note sent after one demanded a ransom of millions of dollars. Investigators believed their legitimate communications from the kidnappers. According to law enforcement, the second note said Nancy Guthrie was dead and that they didn't mean to kill her. It goes on to explain she died shortly after the kidnapping. Her body has not yet been recovered. CNN had been aware of the notes and agreed to her request from law enforcement and the family to hold off on reporting the contents so any future communications with the kidnapper or kidnappers could be authenticated. One more break.
When we come back, it's the battle of the DJs versus the boo birds at the World Cup. Back to school starts now.

So even as a non-s soccer fan myself, I got to say this World Cup has been fun so far. Fans seem to be enjoying themselves. But there's one thing they definitely do not like, hydration breaks. For the uninitiated soccer or football, as most of the world calls it, is usually split up into two 45-minute halves. The clock doesn't stop. But this is the first World Cup where halfway through each half play stops, so that players can grab a drink.
FIFA says this is so athletes don't cramp up or overheat in the summer sun, but these breaks are happening even in climate-controlled indoor stadiums, like in Dallas and Atlanta. Soccero Priores say this basically ends up making it a four-quarter game, and they see it as a craven cash grab to squeeze in more ads on TV. It's so reviled, in fact, that widespread booing has broken out in the stadium during the breaks. And so as a result, some of the stadium DJs have started blasting music in hopes of starting a massive sing-along,
which is a storied soccer tradition. And it's basically worked. Take Me Home, Country Roads, Mr. Brightside, and even the Macarena have drowned out the booze, at least until the players put down their water bottles. All right, that's all for now. Next update comes your way later this evening. I'll talk to you later.
