Almost seen the important news

And then 5 min of ads then something from somewhere nowhere around here then ads then weather Then ads then “we might see tonight “ love Kevin but then nothing. But seen there’s a casino I might be interested in but recovering gambling addiction figure I better pass.

Can we just not watch the local news for 5 minutes or atleast the tornado warning would be good
