Speaker 3 (01:04):
According to DPW, in coordination with.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Baltimore, Harford, Howard, and Carroll Counties, the restriction has been
issued because of the low water levels of three reservoirs,
which supply drinking water to almost two million people.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Water levels are at their lowest in decades.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Residents and water customers who use public water are encouraged
to limit use. Baltimore City Department of Transportation is adding
new enforcement cameras near schools to crackdown on speeding, along
with a new truck height monitoring system. Speed cameras will
be located near schools on Orlean Street, Hilton Avenue, Charles Street,
and twenty ninth Street. Drivers caught going more than twelve

(01:43):
miles per hour over the limit could face fines ranging
from forty dollars to four hundred and twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Five dollars depending on this speed. Let's talk Preakness.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
It is happening tomorrow in Laurel and thoroughbred horse trainer
Brittany Russell has the opportunity to make history as the
latest woman trainer in horse racing to win the Preakness
Stakes with taj Mahal. The race will be held at

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Oh boy, do we have an exciting morning for you? Michael,
Jay and Candace in the morning. I just want to
give you a heads up because this is highly anticipated.
This morning, at ten after seven, we have a final
pair of Jason Alden, who you just heard singing Luke
Brian concert tickets for this summer August the twentieth. I

(05:12):
believe it's happening at NAT's Park, and I wanted to
give you a heads up. In just about a half
hour we're giving those tickets away.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
So if you're still at the house, you're.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Shaving, you're brushing your teeth, you're getting out of the shower,
you're getting dressed, having breakfast, or you're already out the
door on the way, you've got to find a way
to be listening. At seven to ten this morning, we
can hook you up all right for Michael Jay and
Canvas in the morning. I would love to get your
take on this story that is brewing behind the scenes

(05:44):
with the Preakness. As we know, it's not happening at Pimlico,
it's happening at Laurel tomorrow. But behind the scenes there's
a big conversation going on I find fascinating.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
So here's what's going on.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
There are two jockey who are supposed to be involved
in the Preakness, along with a pitcher from the La
Dodgers major League Baseball player who are involved in allegations
regarding cock fighting in Puerto Rico. So I've done a
little research and it turns out that while it's illegal

(06:22):
in the United States and they're trying to make it
illegal in Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico, which is a it's
not an American state, but it is an American land.
It's part of our country, right. They still honor cock
fighting there. They say it goes back generations. And here's

(06:42):
what I just found out about it. Did not know this.
It's a multi million dollar industry where families are making
their livelihood on it and they're surviving. Now there's a
band that takes effect or did take effect a couple
of years ago, and with the recession that they've had

(07:02):
in Puerto Rico, a few people are very very upset
about this, and they say that if anybody comes and
takes their roosters, that someone's gonna be shot. I mean,
they're ready to protect these birds with their lives, and
there's passion for this whole thing. Meanwhile, here in the mainland,

(07:24):
we have two jockeys who have been apparently witnessed. I
guess the videos are up along with this picture from
the Dodgers who was gambling on roosters fighting.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
It seems kind of mean to me. What do you
guys think?

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Obviously animal rights people are you know, standing up and
it gets it goes in that direction. But you know,
you got to remember though, that there's other parts of
the world that have done different than now. Not saying
it's right, but wow, I didn't realize it was that
much money in it. Legal cock fighting on the island

(08:02):
they say will eventually go away, and there are people saying,
how are we going to survive without it? Kind of
a crazy story this morning? What do you think seven seven, nine,
six two. Forget those Jason Aldean Luke Bryan tickets that
everybody wants. I'm telling you it's been blowing the phones
up all week. We'll be given those away at ten
after seven. Will the two brothers be able to race?

(08:24):
Will they try to put an end to I mean,
and I the more I find out about roosters fighting
each other, and you know they're they're really aggressive, they
try to kill each other.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
I mean, I don't know. I don't want to sound.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Like you know, back in my day, but there's a
point where you got to say, look, this is just
not the right thing to do, you know what I mean.
And a lot of people that are texting you are
saying the same thing, so they're trying. Basically, what it's
come down to is in Puerto Rico, it has been
a cultural thing, cultural for like ten generations. Goes back

(09:03):
families saying well, we made all this money off of
cock fighting, and they want to keep doing it. But
you know, so these two jockeys and the Preakness were
involved with it, a pitcher from the Dodgers, and it
kind of reminds me of Michael Vick a little bit
going back, and you know, dogs and all that. I
mean at some point, I mean, I do agree animal

(09:26):
animals are living things too, right, So call me what
you want, but I think that's a horrible thing. It
really is. So hopefully they square that up. We have
got a couple of surprises today. I want to make
sure you know about not only the tickets, but I
want to get you on the talkback mic now as well.
If you can help us for our salute to the military.

(09:49):
We're doing this throughout Military Appreciation Month, and we have
plenty of room for your hero If you want to
check in, all right, hit the talkback mic on the
iHeartRadio as quick text came in.
