74 million people are under heat alerts. we're talking temperatures up to 25 degrees above average in some places. and right now, texas is bracing for what was just named the first tropical storm of the season, tropical storm alberto, heading toward the gulf coast. and fast. meantime, out west, those deadly wildfires rage on with firefighters battling that relentless heat, and we have team coverage this morning with nbc's sam brock in galveston, texas, nbc's maya egoland in coney island and we have your meteorologist standing by with your forecast. storm prep is already under way there. this is now tropical storm alberto. what is the latest, sam? >> reporter: -- >> sam, we're having a hard time with your mic. let's work on getting that. let's turn to maya who is here in new york, one of the places experiencing these extreme temperatures. how are people coping, maya? >> reporter: hey, ana, as you can see behind me, some people are coping by taking a dip in the water, but it is extremely hot. as you mentioned, millions here are under a heat warning, and an air pollution advisory. we also know from the cdc that extreme heat is actually responsible for the highest number of heat-related weather hazards and deaths. so, millions under advisory. we have some advice from experts for those who are going outside. so, one thing you can do is stay cool and hhydrate. that may seem obvious, when you're in the beach or in the pool swimming, it can be easily something you can forget. use sunscreen, reapply it often and also wear loose clothing. if you can, you can use the buddy system to make sure you got your eyes on someone, someone has their eyes on you, and, of course, if it is a true emergency, definitely call 911. it is also a juneteenth holiday today. and we spoke with randy who is out here enjoying his day off. so here's what he had to say. >> summer started and it has been furiously hot. i work in construction. so i'm outside here all the time. and the last two summers have been, like, really brutal. so you can really tell the difference. >> reporter: want to make sure you're also keeping an eye on kids, elderly and pets during this time. and above all, remember the basics, stay hydrated, keep water nearby, and stay cool when you can. >> those are simple tips, but potentially life saving tips. we're working still to try to get sam in galveston, texas, where this now tropical storm alberto is headed. you're tracking both these weather threats, the heat and the storm. what do we need to know? >> there is a lot to get to. we're going to start with the same heat. this is something brewing for a couple of days. right now we have 74 million people impacted from parts of michigan on east, into parts of maine. you see the pink shading is where we're starting to see the heat warnings so that's where we're expecting that heat to be particularly intense at least for today. places like fort wayne, pittsburgh, the metro area and parts of interior new england as well. current temperatures in the low 80s along the i-95 corridor. notice interior sections of the northeast, we're already starting to see 90s here. syracuse, 92, burlington, 89. we're going to watch the temperatures build through the course of the day. so, heat indices likely to be into the triple digits here, new york state to new england. 105 up in bangor. it does not get quite that hot typically in that part of the country. in and around new york, little bit more borderline into the upper 80s for air temperatures. heat indices into the lower 90s. temperatures around new york, through points west, likely to be generally 5 to 10 degrees above normal. once you get up to new england, we're talking 15 to 20 degrees above normal. for tomorrow, this is going to continue, look at these numbers, pretty similar, philadelphia getting up to 94 in terms of how it is going to feel and even up to parts of new york state, likely to feel like the triple digits as well. this is going to go on, even for this weekend. i do think we're going to get some relief here across the northeast, parts of new england, into right around the new york city area. but places like philadelphia, 97 for the high on friday, 95 on saturday. and into the mid-90s still as we head into sunday. so, minimal relief across new england. it is still going to be baking here across the mid-atlantic through parts of the midwest and the ohio valley as well. let's get the tropical storm alberto. this is new information from the 11:00 advisory from the national hurricane center. right now, situated 185 miles east of mexico. winds east 40 miles per how, the storm, way down here, the rain shield into texas. it is raining heavily pretty far from the storm's center. you may look at this like it is just a tropical storm, these impacts are going to be pretty widespread all the way up to texas as impacts are going to extend pretty far from the storm's center. that track is expecting to take it due west here across parts of mexico. weakening across the higher elevations, but i think we can expect the impacts to continue for the next couple of days with flooding, heavy rain and, of course, gusty winds as well. >> violeta yas, thank you. sam, it sounds like the storm is picking up steam. what are you experiencing so far and what kind of preparations are under way? >> reporter: sure, ana, our apologies for the technical difficulty there. we're just outside of galveston. we passed the san louis pass. i'm standing near free port, texas. this next band of rain just popped up. as we're getting that, look over my shoulder. this is a home development called treasure island. the treasures that we're seeing right now are unfortunately people's lawn chairs and pillows and other items floating up. i just saw a couple coming in from houston, dustin and christine, renting a house out here, probably 40 or 50 homes raised because of flood-like situations. and they were just wading through the water, it came up to their thigh, they went to bed last night, ana, said the high tide had come in and picked up a little bit, but things were fine. they woke up this morning and they're just in a giant pool of water. you got to think there are a lot of folks now in homes and waiting for this to try to clear up. but the reality is that you have, you know, a couple of days, today and tomorrow, where we're going to be seeing pretty steady rainfall, so this may get worse before it gets better. trying to communicate with some folks to find out what type of situation they're in in addition to that couple. and also some cars are still out there too. we're kind of locked in, but all the way up and down this main road there is cars where people were able to get them out and to a thin strip of land before the water came all the way over here. this development is on one side. on the other side of the road is a second development, with another 40 or 50 homes. you're looking at probably hundreds of people, if they're out here right now, a lot of these are vacation homes, but dozens, if not hundreds that are facing these kind of conditions. as far as your question, ana, about preparations right now, you have the state that has deployed and readied about 20 different agencies from texas a&m forest services which have strike forces to also the national guard. we spoke with folks in galveston, said they were repositioning a lot of their high water vehicles to fire stations near flood prone areas so they can jump in if need be. right now this is sort of a surreal sight and what i was told from this couple, there is a seawall well in the distance and clusters of rocks breaking up the storm surge, but not doing the job fully. if this were to rise, the high tide a little bit more than what we're seeing right now, the water levels are also going to elevate. this is definitely something that is being felt in real time by lots of folks here out in galveston island and then the san louis pass where i am as well. i don't know how far it extends, but i know we have colleagues lining up and down the southeast coast. guad venegas, they're expected to see between 7 and 10 inches there if not more. you have the rainfall and the storm surge at the same time. a single ray of light coming through this rain. hopefully that sticks for a little bit. that's what we're seeing on the ground at this moment. we'll see how it develops over the course of the day. >> sam brock, thank you so much. stay safe, my friend. too much water there, but too hot and dry so many other places right now as cities boil. there is new pressure on the federal government to adapt its response. a coalition of environmental, labor and health groups is pushing fema to declare extreme heat a major disaster, that would unlock federal funding to help address safety issues during heat waves like the one we're experiencing right now. i want to bring in gene su, energy justice director and senior attorney at the center for biological diversity and lead author of a new petition about all of this. so thank you for joining us. walk us through why this matters, especially now. >> thanks, ana, for having me. why this matters, i think everything you just showed in the last five minutes is why this matters right now. we are at the -- only the beginning of what is predicted to be another record-breaking year in terms of extreme heat and basically climate-fueled disasters generally. what we saw last year was a horrific record-breaking year where around 1200 people died, though that's a severe underestimate, and thousands more experienced extreme heat conditions that carry on to today. what we did this year is try to preempt and basically get the federal government and in particular the federal emergency management agency to recognize extreme heat and wildfire smoke as major disasters, to help states and local governments with funding, with funding for common sense measures, to help people from dying and passing out from extreme heat and wildfire smoke. >> now, looking at today alone, there are, you know, tens of millions of people facing temperatures above 90 degrees across multiple states here in the u.s. so, when we talk about this disaster declaration, if the goal is to boost the resources to the areas facing this major disaster, how would this actually work, practically speaking, when you're not just talking about something fairly isolated to one state or one region. >> absolutely. so because this is an ongoing issue, we -- we're advocating three sets of measures. but the first is the most common sense. so, it is erecting community resilience centers that have water stations in them, and then wildfire smoke areas, air filtration systems that you actually can breathe clean air. and the really important parts of these stations, whether they are temporary or permanent because you build them in a building that exists is that they are walkable for worker communities and especially communities of color and low income communities who may not have cooling or air filtration systems at the ready. so, the idea is to create these resilience centers and then actually place them strategically in the areas and neighborhoods that need them the most. but in addition to that, we are actually looking at more long-term solutions as well. one of the consequences of extreme heat is that grids are actually buckling right now in terms of electricity, so extreme heat is frying up power lines and actual electricity grids, and that's leading to rolling blackouts which means that people won't have electricity to run that life-saving air conditioning or air filtration system. so, we're advocating for community solar and storage, which we know from puerto rico to the southeast, those have been, if you have a solar on your rooftop, you're able to keep your electricity going and basically withstand these disasters. >> interesting ideas, possible solutions, that's what we like to hear. thank you for taking the time. still ahead, where things stand in virginia after a wild primary night with big implications for

>> reporter: we brought you this story yesterday, and we focused so heavily on virginia's 5th district because we knew it was going to be interesting, the dynamics were all there to make this a race that was worth us tracking. but i don't think that we anticipated that the day after we would still be waiting for results and you just look at how close this is, 345 votes separate the challenger in this case, john mcguire, from the incumbent, congressman bob good, who, remember, is the head of the powerful house freedom caucus here. he's someone who has been part and parcel to a lot of the upheaval that we have seen, a consistent thorn in the side of republican leadership throughout this congress and several others prior. now we're watching in the state of virginia this race continue on, but there is a few fascinating pieces to it. first, the fact that mcguire, even if he wins and he did declare victory last night despite the fact the race has not been called, if he wins, it will call into question the power of a trump endorsement. on one hand, trump's endorsed candidate could win this race. on the other, to win it by such a tight margin really does speak to what does it mean to have a trump endorsement, especially if you're in a state where you're going up against an incumbent and it is really hard to take out candidates who already are serving in congress. for bob good, he does have the right, because we're within 1 percentage point, again, we'll see where it lands when this race is called, he has the opportunity, if he loses, to demand a recount. it is not automatic like it is in some states, but because it is within a 1% margin, that is something we could see. whoever wants to call a recount, has ten days in the rules to actually do so. we're trying to keep in touch with the campaigns to see if that's something they plan to do, but, look, we're going to see, this is basically the general election here because it is a ruby red district. so, whatever republican comes out of the primary is going to be the next likely congress person for this area. it is, though, i think much closer than any of us thought that it was going to be and a reminder of how hard virginia actually is to poll because polling in this race, and the things that experts were looking at, our sources, were way off. >> all right, ali vitali, you never know. why you got to count the votes. this morning, reactions are pouring in after president biden unveiled a series of sweeping executive actions that could shield half a million undocumented spouses of u.s. citizens from deportation. >> i doubt why the action we're taking today matters, if you wonder about that, ask business leaders, labor leaders, economists, elected officials. they know it is good for american business. they know it is good for the american economy. they know it is good for america, period. >> let's get more now from nbc news senior white house correspondent gabe gutierrez. gabe, what more is the biden administration saying about this and are they seeing any legal blowbacks so far? >> they expect that, ana. yesterday, white house press secretary said that the white house believes that it does have the legal authority for this executive action, and it comes just weeks after that previous executive action targeting -- tightening the asylum rules. the biden administration expects these. they say they're getting legal challenges from both sides of the political spectrum and last night homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas spoke out about this on msnbc. let's listen. >> what we do before we take action is we study the law, and ensure that the actions that we take are indeed lawful. that we have done with respect to this action, like we have done with all our prior actions. it is no surprise that steven miller intends to attack this in the courts, we stand by it. >> you just heard right there, secretary mayorkas bringing up steven miller, who was the architect of trump's immigration policies, and it is something we're seeing not just from the white house itself and the biden administration, but also from the biden campaign. they're really trying to tie and bring up in voters' minds trump policies when it comes to immigration and trying to have that contrast, that former president trump was responsible in their view for separating families at the border and instead president biden is trying to make it clear he's for families sticking together, that's why he had that executive action allowing undocumented spouses to stay in this country. >> so now we are seeing republicans slam this executive action. let's hear what donald trump had to say about it. >> joe biden's granting mass -- he's going to formerly grant a mass amnesty to millions of illegal aliens that came into our country. crooked joe is sending a message to the world that he rewards illegal entry and that's what's happening. >> jeff, just how important is the immigration issue for voters right now, and is there any sense at this point how this executive action is resonating? >> well, it is hugely important, ana, and for the biden white house, this does a couple of things, one, the biden team believes that polls show that the electorate wants a balanced approach to immigration. that's tough border security measures, combined with real solutions for long-term undocumented immigrants. and to the great point that gabe made, we hear president biden say all the time that elections are about choices, elections are about contrasts. and that by keeping families together in this way, as the white house sees it, that, yes, they are convinced that when americans are reminded of the trump immigration policies, and at least 5,000 migrant families separated, forcibly separated as a matter of u.s. policy under the trump administration, voters by and large will recoil. you have those 500,000, the estimate of 500,000 people who will benefit undocumented immigrants who will benefit from this policy. that's pinpointed in those key battleground states like arizona and nevada. one of the senators from nevada said she thinks 10,000 people in her state will benefit from it. so, in many ways this allows the biden white house, the biden campaign to reset the parameters of this immigration debate and this is, of course, coming just one week ahead of the presidential debate and you can expect president biden will try to draw that contrast in stark terms on stage next week. >> definitely. conversation to be continued, gentlemen. geoff bennett, gabe gutierrez, thank you so much. now to the middle east, where fighting escalates in gaza as prime minister netanyahu and the biden administration struggle to stay on the same page. we'll explain. plus, the governor of california calling for smartphone bans in classrooms. could more states follow suit?

>> reporter: so, ana, this is the latest example of frustration between the biden administration and the government of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. here's what happens. yesterday seemingly out of nowhere the israeli prime minister released a video in english, accusing the biden administration of withholding weapons that israel needs for fighting this war in gaza, and in unusually blunt terms, the white house press secretary saying the administration frankly has no idea what the israeli prime minister is talking about. the reality, according to the white house, is that the administration has put on hold a single shipment of 2,000 pound bombs, those very, very heavy weapons that have caused such large civilian casualties in other parts of gaza, but the white house says all the other weapons that israel needs including those crucial interceptors to protect from incoming hezbollah rockets are heading to israel, as they have been for the last eight months since october 7th. >> raf, you also have new reporting about those idf raids, that freed some hostages in gaza. what more are you learning? >> reporter: yeah, ana, so that raid that brought four hostages home from central gaza, it was seen, it was celebrated around the world, but there is a painful other side to the story. the hamas-run health ministry says 64 children were killed inside gaza by israeli fire during that raid. and we took a hard look at the deaths of three of them. we found that one 4-year-old boy was killed in a house just 200 yards from where hamas was holding those hostages. that does seem to underscore the israeli military's point that hamas holds these hostages in densely populated civilian areas. we found two other boys were killed a mile away in what their family says was an israeli helicopter attack on a tent camp. take a look. nora says she was getting lunch ready when israeli helicopters opened fire on their camp. her 8-year-old son was killed instantly, she says. while his older brother later died of his injuries. he would tell me i want to go abroad and study and come back to gaza, i'd like to be a doctor, mommy. so, we asked the idf about that attack, we gave them the time and the coordinates. they could not explain why helicopters struck at that location, but they do say the israeli military does everything it can to minimize civilian casualties. ana? >> raf sanchez reporting in tel aviv, thank you. next, one of the greatest of all time remembering baseball legend willie mays. but, first, we're keeping a close eye on those rising temperatures across the country. here's jolie sherman at our nbc affiliate wvit in connecticut. >> for the first time this year, governor lamont is activating the state's extreme hot weather protocol. temperatures are expected to reach the mid-90s or higher over the next few days. the state is making sure cooling centers are open and available throughout the state, so those who are most vulnerable to the heat have a place to go. anyone looking for a cooling shelter near them can call 211, and it is safe to say the pool and splash pad here in west hartford will be a popular place as we experience those hot and humid temperatures. in west hartford, connecticut, i'm jolie sherman. in west hartford, connecticut, i'm jolie sherman. i needed more from my antidepressant. vraylar helped give it a lift. adding vraylar to an antidepressant is clinically proven to help relieve overall depression symptoms better than an antidepressant alone. and in vraylar clinical studies, most saw no substantial impact on weight. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. report fever, stiff muscles, or confusion, as these may be life-threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent. high blood sugar, which can lead to coma or death, weight gain, and high cholesterol may occur. movement dysfunction and restlessness are common side effects. stomach and sleep issues, dizziness, increased appetite, and fatigue are also common. side effects may not appear for several weeks. i didn't have to change my treatment. i just gave it a lift. ask about vraylar and learn how abbvie could help you save. anthony: this making you uncomfortable? and learn how abbvie good. when you've got type 2 diabetes like me, you have up to 4 times greater risk of stroke, heart attack or worse death. even when meeting your a1c goal. discomfort can help you act. i'm not trying to scare you. i'm empowering you... to get real with your health care provider. talk to them about lowering your risk of stroke, heart attack or death. welcome back. today we are remembering the life of one of baseball's greatest players of all time. hall of famer willie mays passed away at the age of 93 on tuesday, after 22 years in the majors, mays known as the say hey kid solidified himself as perhaps the greatest all around player in the history of the game. the 24-time all-star ended his historic career with a .301 batting average, more than 1900 rbis putting him in the highest echelons of major league players. mays played on four pennant winning teams but won just one world series, in 1954 with the new york giants where he made this famous catch, considered one of the greatest defensive plays of all time. back in 2015, then president barack obama awarded mays the medal of freedom, the highest civilian honor, and he addressed mays' impact as part of the first generation of players from the negro leagues to make it into the majors. >> a few years ago, willie rode with me on air force one. i told him then what i'll tell all of you now, it is because of giants like willie that someone like me could even think about running for president. [ applause ] >> joining us now is evan roberts, on air host for wfan sports radio. he's also the author of "my next bible: scoring 30 years of baseball fan dom." evan, wow, mays, such an incredible person. what a life, what a player, what does his legacy mean for baseball and this country? >> i know for my generation, when my dad and my grandfather were teaching me about baseball, it always started with willie mays. my grandfather would tell me greatest player i've ever seen, my dad would tell me greatest player i've ever seen and as a kid growing up wanting to learn about baseball, it was always fascinating to read about him and not only what he accomplished on the field, everything he had to deal with off the field, and the legacy that he put together as one of the greatest of all time and you played that clip of that catch in the 54 world series and not only was it an incredible play, but willie mays, as he's making the play, was thinking about how i got to get the ball in very quickly because larry doby is on second base and there is a chance he'll tag up and score from second. not only is this guy making the most clutch incredible catch you'll ever see, his mind was working, and he was a smart baseball player, and a great baseball player. >> not only did he make that catch, but he then made an incredible throw after making that catch that was pivotal in that game. "the new york times" called mays a national treasure, they called him electrifying. last night mets announcer and former player keith hernandez got choked up when talking about mays on sny. let's listen. >> what always came off was, he was the say hey kid, he had the ability, the personality, infectious and genuine, and -- i got to tell him that he was the greatest player i ever saw. >> wow. evan, what do you think made him so special, so unique? >> i think that his ability to be great at everything. you know, sometimes you watch baseball and there is a guy who is a great slugger and he's not great defensively and you see a guy who is really fast, but not good at another aspect of baseball, willie mays is the true -- he's great at everything. he can run, he can field, he can hit for power, he can hit for batting average, it is funny, i'm a geek, so i looked back at this, if you go back to some of the years, what he did with the mvp and we judge them on the stats we look at today, he would have won many more. i think in a way he's become underrated because he probably would have won five or six mvps if you look back at some of the accomplishments he put together and one other thing about him, he's a new york legend, the giants moved to san francisco, one thing i read about it, shocking to hear this, he wasn't fully accepted in san francisco, that the crowds would boo him because, he's great, but he's not joe dimaggio, who is the hometown kid they would try to compare him to. not only is he this great player, he had to deal for years in his career of a bigger ballpark, where home runs went to die, and a crowd that didn't fully accept him. eventually they did. he's a san francisco legend, it is kind of forgotten about he had to deal with that in the first few years of playing in san francisco and look at the end of the day, for my money, studying baseball history, learning about it, asking questions, he's the greatest of all time. >> it is amazing to learn and think about the adversity some of these greats have faced and mays overcame so much adversity when you think about the time that was when he played. we mentioned he was the first generation of players who made their way from the negro leagues to the majors, quickly if you will, how significant do you think was his impact during that transition? >> i mean, incredibly significant. you know, jackie robinson is a legend, a hero and went through a lot. so did willie mays, so did every other young black player as this time of integration occurred in major league baseball. it wasn't easy. right now you're an athlete, you deal with social media, he was dealing with so much more and came through. and not only that, like, when he began his major league career, he began his career, like, 1 for 21, wasn't exactly the smoothest transition ever, and then he blossomed into one of the great players of all time. you see that number 24, there are generations who wear that number. i would argue outside of maybe michael jordan, that number is probably the most kind of imitated number in sports. now you still see people wearing 24 and it all started for the great willie mays. >> evan roberts, great to take that walk down history lane with you and honor such an incredible athlete and person, willie mays. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. i appreciate it. up next on "ana cabrera reports," the nation's second largest school district takes action against cell phones in the classrooms. their controversial plan when we come back. srooms their controversial plan when we come back. shingles is sleeping... in 99% of people over 50. and it could strike at any time. think you're not at risk?

>> i found it so helpful, by the way, selfishly, as a mother to two kids, 5 and 7, and we already started to have the conversation of when will they get phones, no time soon, but nonetheless, having those conversations, preparing them for that exposure. and i even asked them, would they heed those warnings, these kids that i sat down with, if there was a warning label when you went on tiktok or instagram and they said, listen, we're still going to go on instagram and tiktok. they talked about the mental health issues, the comparative nature of social media as well, but they talked about how it gives them a sense of community and connectiveness that they find through social media, but there are a lot of risks that they mentioned. let's listen to some of that and then we'll talk on the other side. >> i have been exposed to naked pictures, stuff i shouldn't be seeing at this age on three different apps, snapchat, instagram and twitter. people have, like, instagram, someone dm'd me a naked picture of themselves. on twitter, i scroll to something and it was a naked person. that happens, like, repeatedly, which is, like, kind of scary that it is what is being put on social media isn't being controlled. >> it scares you? does it scare you? >> i mean, it does scare me. i think that obviously i don't want my child exposed to inappropriate content, and so we just talk about it a lot in our household to try to overcome that, which can be a little bit awkward, but i think it is better than them encountering it without. >> miles was 12 years old, the other two girls were 16 years old. i think it was really great to see there was an open conversation being had in all these households, hence why they had a leveler head when it came to social media. one girl said she thinks they should teach about social media in schools to give warnings to kids as they prepare to get, for instance, cell phones, to understand, for instance what to look out for when it comes to tiktok and instagram and all that. >> they don't know what they don't know and hearing from that 12-year-old boy, my son is 12 years old, about the naked pictures that he's been exposed to, that is mind blowing and so, so important to raise that awareness so we can have those important conversations. thank you. >> thanks. with the presidential election less than five months away, some republicans are hard at work on an ambitious nearly 1,000 page plan that offers a road map for what a second trump term could look like if he were re-elected. it's called project 2025. hallie jackson has a closer look at this controversial plan. >> reporter: the blueprint for a second trump term. >> if we don't win, this country is finished. >> reporter: making a splash everywhere from congress to tiktok. >> it likely isn't going to happen. >> it's a 900 page blueprint for an authoritarian takeover of america. >> weaponized conservatives ready to do battle against the deep state. >> reporter: outlining several key proposals, including a federal government under tighter presidential control. independent agencies would answer almost entirely to the president. it's a controversial idea. the plan cams for more spending for a u.s.-mexico border wall. >> build that wall. >> reporter: more federal power to control immigration and increase fees for the immigrants allowed to state. on this side of the border, cuts to corporate taxes. cuts to federal investments in renewable energy and carbon reduction. project 2025 also taking aim at what it calls woke culture warriors, calling for deleting terms from federal rules, including sexual orientation and gender identity. it would eliminate the education department. it's not uncommon for think tanks to create wish lists for governments in waiting. with the race deadlocked, democratic opposition to the plan is ramping up. >> i think what troubles me the most is just the explicitness of the extremism. we have never seen them talk in this kind of a swaggering, explicit way about basically gutting our democracy. they're doing it now. the people who are saying these things are the most inner circle leaders of donald trump's political world. >> reporter: those behind it accuse democrats of fear mongering. >> this would tee up an up coming administration to acheer more than we have ever seen under a conservative president before. >> thanks to hallie jackson for that report. we reached out to the trump campaign for their reaction. the campaign saying, unless it's coming from the former president's own mouth, no aspect of future presidential staffing or policy announcements should be deemed official. the campaign points to their own so-called agenda. both plans share a lot of crossover. up next, we will hear from one of juneteenth's trail blazers. blazers. my restaurants, my tattoo shop... and i also have a non-profit. but no matter what business i'm in... my network and my tech need to keep up. thank you verizon business.
