Speaker 2 (00:30):
Thank you, A new way of talk, a new way
of understanding, because we're in this to good.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
This is your morning show with Michael Dell Joan.

And Hardy.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Good morning to all of you in Tampa, d C, Cleveland, Acron.
Welcome to your morning show on the air and stree
live on your iHeart app. I am Michael del Jarno,
and this is Wednesday, June teenth, June nineteenth. Ye're of
our lord twenty twenty four. Well, if you're just waking up,
the oldest living Baseball Hall of Famer Willie Mays has
passed away at the age of ninety three. May spent
(01:15):
most of his twenty two seasons with the San Francisco Giants.
That's worthy of a note. If not Candlestick Park does
he end up with? And again, all of this is
tainted by the steroid era. There was a time we
would talk about the mic, we would talk about Willie Mays,
we talk about Hank Aaron, we would talk about Babe Ruth,
(01:37):
some other names have clouded into that. But how many
more home runs does he get if he doesn't play
twenty two seasons and half the games of Candlestick Park?
He ends up in the end with six hundred and
sixty home runs, won a record tying twelve Golden Glove Awards.
Isn't it interesting for six hundred and sixty home runs
When people think of Willie May's, when they think of
(01:58):
the basket catch and the Jack Brookhouse call just one
of the greatest runners, greatest fielders, greatest hitters, greatest guys
of all time is gone at the age of ninety three.
It does feel like, you know, we had Hank passed.
Was that five years ago? Now something like that? Oh yeah,
(02:19):
But this is, you know, kind of like what we
experienced with World War Two veterans. They're a precious few
that are left. This is one of the all time greats,
and it's a yeah, it's a passage of time. Congress
moving forward with another sale of weapons to Israel. Meanwhile
at home, everybody's freaking out over bb Net and Yahoo
coming to speak.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Before a joint session of Congress.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I couldn't help but sit here this morning and begin
to sip my coffee and enjoy my breakfast bar and
think to myself, here we are at home with the
Democrat Party fighting amongst themselves over whether they're on Israel
side or.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
The terrorist side.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And at the exact same time, we have Jung Hun
meeting with Vladimir Putin and a sign of unity. Also
the fear of war spreading. So North Korea is now
committed to assisting Russia, as we're committed to assisting Ukraine.
In one region, you've got Hesbaalah coming to the fold
now as Hamas falls with Israel. Don't forget if radical
(03:21):
Islam should unite and should ever defeat Israel. I happen
to be of a biblical state that doesn't see that coming.
But these are all escalations, escalations that we should be
concerned with. We'll talk with Lieutenant Colonel James Karafano about
that a little bit later on in the show. In
New York's Top Court is declining to hear President Trump's
(03:42):
appeal on a gag order. You know, only you can
answer the question, gag order, amnesty, paying off student loans?
Is this governance or is this election interference. It's certainly
a very political year and bad news for those of
you that'd like to stay up late, which would be
me if I wasn't doing this job right. It's not
(04:05):
good for our mental health. So see, that's why you're
so mentally healthy, Aaron Reyale because you get up in
the middle of the night rather than stay up in
the middle of the night.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Doesn't say anything about that.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
I always wonder about that we die young.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh really, yeah, I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Remember, Jeffrey, what was that two weeks ago we had
to study and it talked about for you know, love
those late shift nurses and so on. These people are
sacrificing police officers in the middle of the night. They're
sacrificing anywhere from seven to fifteen years. Now, if you
have like the overnight shift where you are literally opposite
of the sun and opposite of when most people are
(04:44):
up and socializing, it can be as much as fifteen years.
So we were extrapolating that if we get up at
like three in the morning, that's got to be seven years.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
That's so funny, I know what. I honestly believe it
because I've done some of those late nights and obviously
show you're up at like three is not early three
is the middle of the night exactly. And I have thought,
I'm like, I don't like, I just feel terrible, Like
I mean, it's hard.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
To describe it.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
You're like, this doesn't feel right.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, fifteen years seems like the number.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
And then you know what happens more than I guess
this could happen. You know, sleep cycles go in an hour.
Why are we doing a completely different segment segment? They
could money buy you happiness, but sleep cycles go in
an hour and a half. So as far as feeling rested,
if you do things an hour and a half, Like,
you bet better off sleeping four hour and a half
cycles kind of a thing than you would a full
(05:40):
eight or nine hours. So if you wake up in
the middle of a sleep cycle, it can make you groggy.
But this always seems too I notice when I do
morning stop yawning.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
We don't need that, Jeffrey help it. But I find
I'm getting woken.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Up in the middle of really good dreams like I
apparently I had joined a frat, which I didn't believe
frats when I was in college, but I joined a frat.
The only way in was to climb through one of
those little cutouts, you know, like in a kitchen between
the family room and kitchen, and I couldn't fit, and
then the alarm goes off and it just feel every
day feels like a rude awakening. Hey, the Beatles. The
(06:15):
Beatles one saying I don't care too much for money.
Money can't buy me love, Can it buy me happiness?
And I guess you know, as you're looking at this,
I'm well, let me let me just ask you.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
What was the conclusion. Can money buy you happiness?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
No, categorically it cannot. It can buy you stability. It
can buy you the relief of safetiness and like a
little bit of residential job satisfaction, but it can't buy you.
It cannot buy you happiness. And the amount you need
to be happy is way less than most people think.
It varies depending on cost of living in your city.
(06:51):
But no, well, the research shows time and time again,
and most recently, of nearly a million people, it suggests
that those who feel optimistic and happy going into a
job have more career success. If it's chicken or the egg,
happiness begets success, not the other way around.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
So and by the way we can do, researcher, we
could do. Just think to yourself right now, wherever you're at.
I think, if two things come to mind. One, I
was making sixteen thousand dollars a year, I believe, living
by the smiling water towers of More, Oklahoma, working at
my one oh seven point seven FM, no punk, no funk,
(07:31):
no elevator junk, and pretty much a big night out
for me was dairy Queen. And I remember my errand's
rents furniture, and my rent payment was two hundred and
four dollars. I remember all this stuff like it was yesterday.
May have been one of the happiest periods of my life.
I can remember a Christmas where we had nothing, and
I remember my mom was moving from her home because
(07:51):
we were taking care of him. We couldn't afford it anymore.
Then I was broke and all we had at Christmas
was we wrapped three things. You would write down what
you love most about someone, what you plan to do
for them this year, and uh, I can't remember what
the third thing was. But and then we wrapped him
because we didn't have money to give anything. And it's
the most memorable. I mean, I have great Christmases since then,
(08:13):
you know, kids opening up all the presents and making
cookies and Christmas even church services. But I mean, you know,
I think we'll all if we look back, we see
money doesn't have anything. Rich people will tell you it's
a lot of work to be rich. It's a lot
of stress. I would like the chance, j Jeffrey. I
just like the chance to experience. I just want to
(08:33):
know that well, and I've been both.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 7 (08:37):
If the private jet is terrible, give me just let
me see.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, well, I can tell you a private jet story.
So I want a private jet with Pat Robertson, and
I'm like, I gotta go to the bathroom. He goes, oh,
it's right here, and he points to the seat next
to him, just lift.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The cushion up.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And I was like, Pat, if you think I might
go to the bathroom sitting next to you, what is
this the Waldorf? So yeah, that always what is cracked
up to be. But oh, I mean, by and large,
it's irrelevant. You know, we just went through a study
of the Book of Ecclesiastes, which we believe Solomon wrote.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I mean, here's a guy that had everything.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
He had wisdom, he had money, he had homes, he
had power, he had everything, and he just says nothing.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It's meaningless. I think it's all.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
And by the way, happiness is a joke too, right,
because it comes from the word happenstance.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Things that are out of our control. Has nothing to
do with joy.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
But in the loose terms of it, money has nothing
to do with happiness, whether you have it or not.
I think that's the way we should frame it. What
else did you find that was interesting?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
So the thing about happiness, like you said, you shouldn't
be chasing happiness. What you apparently want a subjective well being,
which includes joy and contentment and hope to I'll tell
you real quick, there's three things that are the essential
thoughts of that. So it's frequent positive thoughts, infrequent negative thoughts.
You will feel anger and disgust and shame, but to
try and do it as infrequently as possible. And then
(09:52):
satisfaction with your physical health, your relationships, and your work. Again,
frequent positive, infrequent negative thoughts, satisfaction with health, relationships, and work.
If you can get those three together, you're great, and
real quick, I just want to ask before I have
to jump, what were the three things you wrote down
and gave to each other?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I love that idea.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Oh well, what we loved most about and appreciated most
about each other. What we would do for them throughout
the year, because you couldn't give a gift, so we
were going to be the gift. I can't remember what
the third one is. I'm turning the.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Most important, you know what.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I'll remember the third and i'll text you between now
and when you come back, and we're going to talk about,
among the things soaring recently, the price of housing. Aaron
Rayel will join us with more on that when she
returns in an hour from now. All right, seventeen minutes
after the hour again one of the biggest stories of
the day.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Waking up, We're gonna have all top five stories for you.
Coming up.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
The oldest living Hall of Famer Willie Howard Mays. Do
you know what me and Willie Mace have in common?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
What's that? You can't even take a wild guess you
wore the same number? No, he was twenty four, I
was twelve. What is that? What he was two or twelve? Oh?
As far as the number, Well, what did you have
in common? Our middle name were both Howard. I did
not know.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I'm named after Howard Elmer, which was my mother's mother's
second husband. My real grandfather was Angelo Yuva. I don't
think I've ever heard you say that I'm Michael Howard.
I'm probably the only Italian with a German slash Jewish
middle name, Howard. And then Willie Mays. Let me tell
you how great Willie Mays was. Willie Mays was so good.
(11:32):
And I remember being a little league coach. Anybody that's
lived in a minor league town will tell you. You get
to a minor league ballpark, you know who the future
major leaguers are they stand out.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
They stick out like a sore thumb. And that's at
the minor league level.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
They've already been the best in little league, the best
in high school, the best in college. And you can
still tell the best of the best. How good was
Willy Mays When he was ten years old? He had
to play in little league against eighteen year olds. At ten,
he's playing eighteen year olds. I don't have to tell you.
By twenty two he was the greatest baseball player of
(12:07):
his time. And maybe, and many will argue and win
the argument the greatest all around baseball player. You might
find people who had more home runs, You might find
people that had more consecutive hitting strings.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
But when you add up the six hundred and sixty.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Home runs for the longest time, a record tying.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Stolen base record, the speed, the arm, the fielding, the hitting,
what is never talked about.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
That is everything in baseball, which is iq This guy
had it all. So our oldest Hall of Famer, Willie Mays,
has passed away at the age of ninety three. And
if you don't get baseball even you gotta get what
this man meant to the fabric of our country and development.
This is a story that goes way beyond baseball. Congress
(12:58):
is moving forward with another sale of weapons to Israel,
though they're fighting amongst themselves in the Democrat Party as
to whether you'd even tend a joint session of Congress.
Speaker 1 (13:07):

Speaker 7 (13:51):
Willie Howard Mays played in the Negro Leagues and then
with the New York Giants in nineteen fifty one until
they moved to San Francisco. Some fans say he was
the greatest to ever wear a major league baseball uniform.
Others say the most exciting. He'll always be remembered for
the catch in the nineteen fifty four World Series. When
(14:18):
he retired, Mays finished third on the all time home
run list with six hundred and sixty. Willie May's dead
at the age of ninety three. I'm Phil Ferrar.

While campaigning in the key swing state of Wisconsin on Tuesday,
he told the crowd in Racine, it's a complete line
made up by the Democrats. Ahead of the Republican Convention

He claimed the videos are embarrassing the US on the
global stage.

New research out from Stanford University shows going to bed
late it's bad for our mental health. Sara Lee Kessler
has more.
Speaker 12 (16:05):
Researchers found that going to bed by one am can
reduce the risk of developing depression and anxiety. Regardless of
your chronotype, that's your preferred sleeping time, whether it's rising
with the sun or going to bed late. They don't
know why, but they found that people who get up
early and make the most out of daylight hours have
the best mental health. Researchers say, regardless of when you
(16:28):
go to bed, seven to nine hours of sleep is optimum.

waiting for you every morning. Well, I think on June
(17:54):
teenth especially, this becomes important. I'm so grateful for my
love of the game of baseball. I think it helped
me a lot with race issues. My heroes growing up
were doctor J Julius Irving, certainly Willie Mays, Hank Aaron,
(18:15):
so many great athletes, Roberto Clemente. These are the people
I really looked up to. I remember, and I'm grateful
for the era I grew up in. But I remember
when I was growing up, it was this constant comparison
between Henry Aaron and Willie Mays as the two greats,
(18:36):
probably because of the home runs. And I stated this earlier.
If he didn't play twenty two seasons in Candlestick Park,
I guarantee you Willie Mays would have got seven thirteen.
He got six sixty playing in that deep park, that deep,
windy park. But yet, you know, if you're going to
have a conversation about who was the greatest baseball player
(18:58):
who ever lived, I think Babe Ruth is in that conversation,
and I think Willie Mays is in that conversation. I'm
not so certain ty Cobbers and others are even in
that conversation. It kind of ends there in my mind
between Babe Ruth. I'man pitching. He was great, home runs,
he was the original King. But Willie Mays had it all,
(19:21):
twelve Golden Gloves, twenty four All Star Games, and yes,
six hundred and sixty home runs, but so much more
than just a sports story, and so much more than
just a home run hitter.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
And that everybody knows.
Speaker 14 (19:35):
He's an iconic player, the epitome of what it means
to be a great all around baseball player.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
He's one of those special players that come around too often.
That's some friend of all time. You do everything you
want to be just like him.
Speaker 15 (19:48):
Willie Mays did not just play baseball. He performed it
like an artist, leaving an indelible impression on anyone who
saw him.
Speaker 16 (19:57):
Willie was a theatrical personality, man of unbridled joy on
the ball field, a complicated figure off it, perhaps, but
on the field he gave you not only your money's
worth an effort, but he made your heart sing.
Speaker 15 (20:13):
Born in Alabama in May nineteen thirty one, Mays was
a three sports star in high school, but he excelled
at baseball and gave up his amateur status to start
playing in the Negro leagues.
Speaker 13 (20:24):
I had to stay in school, so I play sad
and Sunday when school was in.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
When school was out, I would go on the road
with Ben.
Speaker 15 (20:31):
After signing with the New York Giants, he didn't just
break into baseball, maze burst into it. He batted four
to seventy seven in thirty five games at TRIPAA before
getting called up, where he immediately became one of the
greatest acts in the show.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
There Are Five Things You Can Do is a position
player in baseball. Hit, hit for power, hit for average,
run and throw. There was not a thing he couldn't do,
and not only that, but his intelligence and playing the game.
Speaker 17 (21:01):
His Terrek Dory was from foul line to file line,
to stay out of his way. Fresco Thompson, the general
manager for the Brooklyn Dodgers, said, Willie Mays's glove where
triples go to die.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
May's physical ability, his power, his speed, and his own.
Speaker 15 (21:18):
Level of expectation had people shaking their heads from the
moment they saw him play. Routine plays for May's were
impossible feats for others. Nineteen fifty one was this rookie season,
and his first hit was a home run our future
Hall of Famer Warren Spawn, who realized that one swing
may have ultimate history of the game. Spawn said of
the home run, I'll never forgive myself. We might have
(21:41):
gotten rid of Willy forever if I'd only struck him out.
That same season, May's helped the Giants erase the Dodgers'
lead in the standings, and he walked from the on
deck circle during Bobby Thompson's home run.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Drafted into the service in.
Speaker 15 (22:03):
Nineteen fifty two, during the Korean War, May's managed to
play more baseball than anything else on the Virginia military base,
but still lost nearly two full seasons of his major
league career. When he came back to the majors in
nineteen fifty four, his career took off. He won the
Most Viable Player award, the Giants won the World Series,
(22:23):
and Mays was elected to his first All Star Game.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
He ended up playing in twenty four of them.
Speaker 15 (22:29):
It was Ted Williams who said they invented the All
Star Game for Willie Mays. It was Williams, along with
Joe DiMaggio and Stan Musul, who inspired Willy to greatness.
Speaker 14 (22:39):
He was so dominant, so many All Star Games, so
many gold Gloves. I mean, he did so much for
the game that he's going to remembered. More so for him,
mister Mays.
Speaker 15 (22:51):
To say Hey Kid, the nickname the say Hey Kid,
is alleged to have been tagged to really for his
calling out to teammates not their names, but with a
hey or say hey. If one singular moment captured the
greatness of Willie Mays, that iconic play would be the
catch Game one of the fifty four World Series Cleveland's
(23:13):
Vic Wurtz drives a ball deep to center in the
eighth inning of a two to two time.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
They're a right way mine, right what?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I may not fuck him?
Speaker 10 (23:28):
Run with me?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Cut what the run?
Speaker 8 (23:31):
A pick a lot of people.
Speaker 13 (23:34):
As I'm running, I'm not worrying about catching the ball.
My biggest part was how am I gonna get this
ball back into the infield? If I didn't catch the ball,
the guy on second is gonna score, the guy on
five is gonna score.
Speaker 15 (23:48):
Collectively, May's career numbers are unmatched. There's only one other
player who had at least twenty five hundred plus hits,
six hundred plus home runs, five hundred plus doubles, and
one undred plus triples, and that's Babe Ruth. Throw in
three hundred plus deals and really Mays and stands alone.
Speaker 18 (24:07):
Willing, to me is the greatest all around ball player
that I've ever seen. And I've seen so many great
ballplayers I've had the opportunity to play against and to
play with, but as four as being a pure honest
ball player, which he was considered the five things of
five basic things that you do, I haven't seen anybody
as good as Willing.
Speaker 15 (24:27):
Long before he was chasing home run records. Barry Bonds
grew up in the giant shadow of Mes his godfather
and his own father, Bobby Bonds. While Bobby sent a
high bar for Barry to jump to, Willie's was in
another stratus field.
Speaker 19 (24:41):
All I wanted to do was just make the person
that I admire my whole life proud of what I
you know, what I was going to accomplish or what
I was going to do in my life. And yeah,
I love Willie more than anything in the world. I
couldn't have had anyone pushed me better Between him, my
dad and Louie couldn't know.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I couldn't. I couldn't have failed. There was just no
way possible.
Speaker 15 (25:07):
May's retired in nineteen seventy three with the Mets, finishing
his career.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
In New York. There at all started through baseball.
Speaker 15 (25:16):
May is connected with generations of fans, whether playing stickball
with the neighborhood kids in Harlem early in his career
or orchestrating a team of black players for exhibition games
late in his career. His enthusiasm for the sport is contagious.
The game brought him fame, but not a fortune. His
currency are the numbers he put up and the memories
(25:37):
he created. His statue now fronts the Giants Ballpark at
twenty four Willie May's Plaza, and in San Francisco every
May twenty fourth they celebrate with he May's Day. His
plaque has been in Cooperstown since nineteen seventy nine. His
legacy will live forever as perhaps the best baseball player
of all time.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
He has he en did a beautiful job with that piece.
A couple of quick notes. I do think the argument
is become walpart we're Willie, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays
as the greatest baseball players who ever lived. I really
think it's that it's that short of a list, complete player.
And I appreciated Tim McCarver bringing up the IQ portion
(26:19):
that isn't one of the Big five when it comes
to baseball. I want to end with an anecdotal story
that Bob cost Is told last night during the Yankees broadcast.
Apparently Bob Gibson was brought they were in town playing
the Cardinals were playing the Giants, and so they brought
(26:39):
Bob Gibson over to Willie Mays's house for dinner. So
the doorbell rings and Willie opens the door really kind
of had a high voice and delivery, and there's Bob
Gibson wearing glasses, which Bob Gibson ever pitched with glasses.
Willie Mays only saw Bob Gibson on the playing field,
so it was a shock him and so will He
looks at him and says, do.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
You wear glasses? And Bob guess He goes, yeah, I
can't see it.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
He goes, You're gonna kill somebody because he realizes all
this time he's been pitching with no glasses. Here's your
top five stories of the day. He just did a
long tribute to Milly Mays, one of the most extraordinary
baseball players of our time. Rob Manford, the Commissioner of
Major League Baseball, issued a statement on the passing of
(27:25):
the Hall of Famer Chris Caragio has details.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
Manfred said that all of Major League Baseball is in mourning,
adding that his achievements and statistics do not begin to
describe the awe that came with watching May's dominate the
game in every way imaginable. Whom he may spend most
of his twenty two year career playing for the San
Francisco Giants. He ended that career in nineteen seventy three
with six hundred and sixty home runs, and he won
a record time twelve goal Glove Awards.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
I'm Chris Caragio well, and the left isn't trying to
hold Donald Trump to a gag order and keep him
from speaking. They're trying to put words in his mouth.
Now he's not having Mark Mayfield reports in our Road
to the White House.
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Road to the White House twenty twenty four, former President
Trump is pushing back against reports that he said Milwaukee
is a horrible city.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I love Milwaukee. I was the one that picked Milwaukee.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I have to doubt you.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
I was the one that picked it.
Speaker 9 (28:15):
Former President Trump says Democrats are lying about his alleged
statements about Milwaukee. They lie, lie, lie.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
They have a horrible candidate.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
They have a candidate that has no clue.
Speaker 17 (28:24):
Doesn't know where he is, and all they can do
is lie.
Speaker 9 (28:27):
While campaigning in the key swing state of Wisconsin on Tuesday,
he told the Racine crowd, it's a complete line made
up by the Democrats. Ahead of the Republican Convention next month.
In the city, Trump also mentioned the videos of President
Biden that critics say show Biden looking confused. He claimed
the videos are embarrassing the US on the global stage.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
What is it about that clip makes me look forward
to Friday's forty five?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
New York's top Court is declining to hear Donald Trump's
appeal on the gag order in his hush money case.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Lisa Taylor has the details.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
The court is maintaining the restrictions following his felony conviction.
Trump's legal teams planned to continue fighting the gag order
imposed by Judge Van Mrshan, with a ruling expected soon
on a defense request to lift the order. Trump was
convicted on thirty four counts of falsifying business records related
to a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. He said
to be sentenced July eleventh. I'mly Se Tailor.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Meanwhile, President Biden announced a new plan providing a path
to citizenship for about five hundred thousand undocumented spouses we
legal aliens. Biden said he wants those immigrants to put
their skills to work for America.
Speaker 18 (29:29):
Pass collected officials.
Speaker 17 (29:31):
They know it's good for American business, they know it's
good for the American economy.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
They know it's good for America period.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Program applies to immigrants who have been living in the
country for at least a decade. The Biden administration says
the majority of those affected would be Mexicans. The Trump
campaign calls to move mass amnesty and a power grab
for votes. Between this paying off of student loans the
gag orders. You can answer for yourself whether you think
(29:58):
these are acts of governance or election interference. Pop star
Justin Timberlake is facing legal trouble. Michael Kastner has our story.
Speaker 11 (30:09):
He was arrested Monday night in New York on suspicion
of driving under the influence. Timberlake is currently in the
midst of his Forget Tomorrow tour, his first world tour
in over half a decade. His next concert is in
Chicago Friday, and eas scheduled to perform at Madison Square
Garden next week. Details of the arrest have not been released,
but arrangement is expected to take place today. On Michael Castner,
(30:32):
NASA says, we're on asteroid Watch.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Well, I presume it's a lot like tornadoes. Watch is
better than Morning Right. Bringing to Tennis has our details.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
NASA has issued an asteroid alert for the planet. They
say a one hundred and ten foot space rock is
barreling toward Earth. It's traveling it over twenty seven thousand
miles per hour, and they say it's due to pass
by June nineteenth. Don't worry. NASA says it'll be more
than three million miles away, so no impact for us,
and you won't be able to see it either. But
(31:01):
they say it's there and it will cruise by again
in another four hundred and sixty three days.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
I'm pre tennis.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Netflix will open entertainment complexes in both Texas and Pennsylvania
next year.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Netflix. You're welcome. You're welcome. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Netflix House locations.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
And by the way, had this story been about NBC, wait,
we would have had that too.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Give a little bit about HBO.
Speaker 12 (31:29):
Wall that one's gone.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
You got rid of HBO? Yeah, this is in an
HBO spot.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Oh girl, baby Girl.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Netflix, Well that's worth keeping solix. Netflix is gonna open
their locations in Dallas and near Philadelphia. They're going to
feature in person experiences based on some of the stream
Giant's most popular shows. The venues we build on previous
pop up experience. Netflix has done for series like Stranger Things,
Squid Games, Bridgerton. I'm afraid to ask what the interactive
(31:57):
with Bridgerton is. Netflix's fans will be able to enjoy regular, updated,
immersive experiences for their favorite shows that will include shopping,
unique food and drink offerings. Netflix House locations will be
built in former department store locations, the Galleria in Dallas
and the King of Prussia Mall near Philadelphia. Can't sing
(32:17):
it for you, but they pulled to Beji's last night.
I'm thinking of Bobrovski. He gave up five before they
pulled them in Game four. He gave up another five
last night. That's ten and two games.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
The Oilers are heading back to Edmonton trailing only three
games to choose. They couldn't do the unthinkable, could they.
They couldn't come back from a three to zero deficit
and win four straight, could they?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
It could happen. We'll find out. Friday night.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
All of our area baseball teams of your morning show
Cities lost. Cardinals lost ninety to the Marlins. Rangers lost
seven to six to the Mets. The Rays lost seven
to six to the Twins. The Nats lost five nothing
in a shoutout to the d Backs and the Guardians

sisters and is seventy four today. Singer dancing Paula Abdul
schnappy dresser sixty two years old and pop rapper Maclamore

And Hardy.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Good morning to all of you in Tampa, d C, Cleveland, Acron.
Welcome to your morning show on the air and stree
live on your iHeart app. I am Michael del Jarno,
and this is Wednesday, June teenth, June nineteenth. Ye're of
our lord twenty twenty four. Well, if you're just waking up,
the oldest living Baseball Hall of Famer Willie Mays has
passed away at the age of ninety three. May spent
(01:15):
most of his twenty two seasons with the San Francisco Giants.
That's worthy of a note. If not Candlestick Park does
he end up with? And again, all of this is
tainted by the steroid era. There was a time we
would talk about the mic, we would talk about Willie Mays,
we talk about Hank Aaron, we would talk about Babe Ruth,
(01:37):
some other names have clouded into that. But how many
more home runs does he get if he doesn't play
twenty two seasons and half the games of Candlestick Park?
He ends up in the end with six hundred and
sixty home runs, won a record tying twelve Golden Glove Awards.
Isn't it interesting for six hundred and sixty home runs
When people think of Willie May's, when they think of
(01:58):
the basket catch and the Jack Brookhouse call just one
of the greatest runners, greatest fielders, greatest hitters, greatest guys
of all time is gone at the age of ninety three.
It does feel like, you know, we had Hank passed.
Was that five years ago? Now something like that? Oh yeah,
(02:19):
But this is, you know, kind of like what we
experienced with World War Two veterans. They're a precious few
that are left. This is one of the all time greats,
and it's a yeah, it's a passage of time. Congress
moving forward with another sale of weapons to Israel. Meanwhile
at home, everybody's freaking out over bb Net and Yahoo
coming to speak.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Before a joint session of Congress.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I couldn't help but sit here this morning and begin
to sip my coffee and enjoy my breakfast bar and
think to myself, here we are at home with the
Democrat Party fighting amongst themselves over whether they're on Israel
side or.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
The terrorist side.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And at the exact same time, we have Jung Hun
meeting with Vladimir Putin and a sign of unity. Also
the fear of war spreading. So North Korea is now
committed to assisting Russia, as we're committed to assisting Ukraine.
In one region, you've got Hesbaalah coming to the fold
now as Hamas falls with Israel. Don't forget if radical
(03:21):
Islam should unite and should ever defeat Israel. I happen
to be of a biblical state that doesn't see that coming.
But these are all escalations, escalations that we should be
concerned with. We'll talk with Lieutenant Colonel James Karafano about
that a little bit later on in the show. In
New York's Top Court is declining to hear President Trump's
(03:42):
appeal on a gag order. You know, only you can
answer the question, gag order, amnesty, paying off student loans?
Is this governance or is this election interference. It's certainly
a very political year and bad news for those of
you that'd like to stay up late, which would be
me if I wasn't doing this job right. It's not
(04:05):
good for our mental health. So see, that's why you're
so mentally healthy, Aaron Reyale because you get up in
the middle of the night rather than stay up in
the middle of the night.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Doesn't say anything about that.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
I always wonder about that we die young.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh really, yeah, I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Remember, Jeffrey, what was that two weeks ago we had
to study and it talked about for you know, love
those late shift nurses and so on. These people are
sacrificing police officers in the middle of the night. They're
sacrificing anywhere from seven to fifteen years. Now, if you
have like the overnight shift where you are literally opposite
of the sun and opposite of when most people are
(04:44):
up and socializing, it can be as much as fifteen years.
So we were extrapolating that if we get up at
like three in the morning, that's got to be seven years.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
That's so funny, I know what. I honestly believe it
because I've done some of those late nights and obviously
show you're up at like three is not early three
is the middle of the night exactly. And I have thought,
I'm like, I don't like, I just feel terrible, Like
I mean, it's hard.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
To describe it.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
You're like, this doesn't feel right.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, fifteen years seems like the number.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
And then you know what happens more than I guess
this could happen. You know, sleep cycles go in an hour.
Why are we doing a completely different segment segment? They
could money buy you happiness, but sleep cycles go in
an hour and a half. So as far as feeling rested,
if you do things an hour and a half, Like,
you bet better off sleeping four hour and a half
cycles kind of a thing than you would a full
(05:40):
eight or nine hours. So if you wake up in
the middle of a sleep cycle, it can make you groggy.
But this always seems too I notice when I do
morning stop yawning.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
We don't need that, Jeffrey help it. But I find
I'm getting woken.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Up in the middle of really good dreams like I
apparently I had joined a frat, which I didn't believe
frats when I was in college, but I joined a frat.
The only way in was to climb through one of
those little cutouts, you know, like in a kitchen between
the family room and kitchen, and I couldn't fit, and
then the alarm goes off and it just feel every
day feels like a rude awakening. Hey, the Beatles. The
(06:15):
Beatles one saying I don't care too much for money.
Money can't buy me love, Can it buy me happiness?
And I guess you know, as you're looking at this,
I'm well, let me let me just ask you.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
What was the conclusion. Can money buy you happiness?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
No, categorically it cannot. It can buy you stability. It
can buy you the relief of safetiness and like a
little bit of residential job satisfaction, but it can't buy you.
It cannot buy you happiness. And the amount you need
to be happy is way less than most people think.
It varies depending on cost of living in your city.
(06:51):
But no, well, the research shows time and time again,
and most recently, of nearly a million people, it suggests
that those who feel optimistic and happy going into a
job have more career success. If it's chicken or the egg,
happiness begets success, not the other way around.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
So and by the way we can do, researcher, we
could do. Just think to yourself right now, wherever you're at.
I think, if two things come to mind. One, I
was making sixteen thousand dollars a year, I believe, living
by the smiling water towers of More, Oklahoma, working at
my one oh seven point seven FM, no punk, no funk,
(07:31):
no elevator junk, and pretty much a big night out
for me was dairy Queen. And I remember my errand's
rents furniture, and my rent payment was two hundred and
four dollars. I remember all this stuff like it was yesterday.
May have been one of the happiest periods of my life.
I can remember a Christmas where we had nothing, and
I remember my mom was moving from her home because
(07:51):
we were taking care of him. We couldn't afford it anymore.
Then I was broke and all we had at Christmas
was we wrapped three things. You would write down what
you love most about someone, what you plan to do
for them this year, and uh, I can't remember what
the third thing was. But and then we wrapped him
because we didn't have money to give anything. And it's
the most memorable. I mean, I have great Christmases since then,
(08:13):
you know, kids opening up all the presents and making
cookies and Christmas even church services. But I mean, you know,
I think we'll all if we look back, we see
money doesn't have anything. Rich people will tell you it's
a lot of work to be rich. It's a lot
of stress. I would like the chance, j Jeffrey. I
just like the chance to experience. I just want to
(08:33):
know that well, and I've been both.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 7 (08:37):
If the private jet is terrible, give me just let
me see.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, well, I can tell you a private jet story.
So I want a private jet with Pat Robertson, and
I'm like, I gotta go to the bathroom. He goes, oh,
it's right here, and he points to the seat next
to him, just lift.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The cushion up.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And I was like, Pat, if you think I might
go to the bathroom sitting next to you, what is
this the Waldorf? So yeah, that always what is cracked
up to be. But oh, I mean, by and large,
it's irrelevant. You know, we just went through a study
of the Book of Ecclesiastes, which we believe Solomon wrote.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I mean, here's a guy that had everything.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
He had wisdom, he had money, he had homes, he
had power, he had everything, and he just says nothing.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It's meaningless. I think it's all.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
And by the way, happiness is a joke too, right,
because it comes from the word happenstance.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Things that are out of our control. Has nothing to
do with joy.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
But in the loose terms of it, money has nothing
to do with happiness, whether you have it or not.
I think that's the way we should frame it. What
else did you find that was interesting?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
So the thing about happiness, like you said, you shouldn't
be chasing happiness. What you apparently want a subjective well being,
which includes joy and contentment and hope to I'll tell
you real quick, there's three things that are the essential
thoughts of that. So it's frequent positive thoughts, infrequent negative thoughts.
You will feel anger and disgust and shame, but to
try and do it as infrequently as possible. And then
(09:52):
satisfaction with your physical health, your relationships, and your work. Again,
frequent positive, infrequent negative thoughts, satisfaction with health, relationships, and work.
If you can get those three together, you're great, and
real quick, I just want to ask before I have
to jump, what were the three things you wrote down
and gave to each other?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I love that idea.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Oh well, what we loved most about and appreciated most
about each other. What we would do for them throughout
the year, because you couldn't give a gift, so we
were going to be the gift. I can't remember what
the third one is. I'm turning the.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Most important, you know what.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I'll remember the third and i'll text you between now
and when you come back, and we're going to talk about,
among the things soaring recently, the price of housing. Aaron
Rayel will join us with more on that when she
returns in an hour from now. All right, seventeen minutes
after the hour again one of the biggest stories of
the day.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Waking up, We're gonna have all top five stories for you.
Coming up.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
The oldest living Hall of Famer Willie Howard Mays. Do
you know what me and Willie Mace have in common?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
What's that? You can't even take a wild guess you
wore the same number? No, he was twenty four, I
was twelve. What is that? What he was two or twelve? Oh?
As far as the number, Well, what did you have
in common? Our middle name were both Howard. I did
not know.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I'm named after Howard Elmer, which was my mother's mother's
second husband. My real grandfather was Angelo Yuva. I don't
think I've ever heard you say that I'm Michael Howard.
I'm probably the only Italian with a German slash Jewish
middle name, Howard. And then Willie Mays. Let me tell
you how great Willie Mays was. Willie Mays was so good.
(11:32):
And I remember being a little league coach. Anybody that's
lived in a minor league town will tell you. You get
to a minor league ballpark, you know who the future
major leaguers are they stand out.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
They stick out like a sore thumb. And that's at
the minor league level.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
They've already been the best in little league, the best
in high school, the best in college. And you can
still tell the best of the best. How good was
Willy Mays When he was ten years old? He had
to play in little league against eighteen year olds. At ten,
he's playing eighteen year olds. I don't have to tell you.
By twenty two he was the greatest baseball player of
(12:07):
his time. And maybe, and many will argue and win
the argument the greatest all around baseball player. You might
find people who had more home runs, You might find
people that had more consecutive hitting strings.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
But when you add up the six hundred and sixty.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Home runs for the longest time, a record tying.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Stolen base record, the speed, the arm, the fielding, the hitting,
what is never talked about.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
That is everything in baseball, which is iq This guy
had it all. So our oldest Hall of Famer, Willie Mays,
has passed away at the age of ninety three. And
if you don't get baseball even you gotta get what
this man meant to the fabric of our country and development.
This is a story that goes way beyond baseball. Congress
(12:58):
is moving forward with another sale of weapons to Israel,
though they're fighting amongst themselves in the Democrat Party as
to whether you'd even tend a joint session of Congress.
Speaker 1 (13:07):

Willie Howard Mays played in the Negro Leagues and then
with the New York Giants in nineteen fifty one until
they moved to San Francisco. Some fans say he was
the greatest to ever wear a major league baseball uniform.
Others say the most exciting. He'll always be remembered for
the catch in the nineteen fifty four World Series. When
(14:18):
he retired, Mays finished third on the all time home
run list with six hundred and sixty. Willie May's dead
at the age of ninety three. I'm Phil Ferrar.

Speaker 9 (14:38):
While campaigning in the key swing state of Wisconsin on Tuesday,
he told the crowd in Racine, it's a complete line
made up by the Democrats. Ahead of the Republican Convention

Well, I got some bad news for you, night Owls.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
New research out from Stanford University shows going to bed
late it's bad for our mental health. Sara Lee Kessler
has more.
Speaker 12 (16:05):
Researchers found that going to bed by one am can
reduce the risk of developing depression and anxiety. Regardless of
your chronotype, that's your preferred sleeping time, whether it's rising
with the sun or going to bed late. They don't
know why, but they found that people who get up
early and make the most out of daylight hours have
the best mental health. Researchers say, regardless of when you
(16:28):
go to bed, seven to nine hours of sleep is optimum.

waiting for you every morning. Well, I think on June
(17:54):
teenth especially, this becomes important. I'm so grateful for my
love of the game of baseball. I think it helped
me a lot with race issues. My heroes growing up
were doctor J Julius Irving, certainly Willie Mays, Hank Aaron,
(18:15):
so many great athletes, Roberto Clemente. These are the people
I really looked up to. I remember, and I'm grateful
for the era I grew up in. But I remember
when I was growing up, it was this constant comparison
between Henry Aaron and Willie Mays as the two greats,
(18:36):
probably because of the home runs. And I stated this earlier.
If he didn't play twenty two seasons in Candlestick Park,
I guarantee you Willie Mays would have got seven thirteen.
He got six sixty playing in that deep park, that deep,
windy park. But yet, you know, if you're going to
have a conversation about who was the greatest baseball player
(18:58):
who ever lived, I think Babe Ruth is in that conversation,
and I think Willie Mays is in that conversation. I'm
not so certain ty Cobbers and others are even in
that conversation. It kind of ends there in my mind
between Babe Ruth. I'man pitching. He was great, home runs,
he was the original King. But Willie Mays had it all,
(19:21):
twelve Golden Gloves, twenty four All Star Games, and yes,
six hundred and sixty home runs, but so much more
than just a sports story, and so much more than
just a home run hitter.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
And that everybody knows.
Speaker 14 (19:35):
He's an iconic player, the epitome of what it means
to be a great all around baseball player.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
He's one of those special players that come around too often.
That's some friend of all time. You do everything you
want to be just like him.
Speaker 15 (19:48):
Willie Mays did not just play baseball. He performed it
like an artist, leaving an indelible impression on anyone who
saw him.
Speaker 16 (19:57):
Willie was a theatrical personality, man of unbridled joy on
the ball field, a complicated figure off it, perhaps, but
on the field he gave you not only your money's
worth an effort, but he made your heart sing.
Speaker 15 (20:13):
Born in Alabama in May nineteen thirty one, Mays was
a three sports star in high school, but he excelled
at baseball and gave up his amateur status to start
playing in the Negro leagues.
Speaker 13 (20:24):
I had to stay in school, so I play sad
and Sunday when school was in.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
When school was out, I would go on the road
with Ben.
Speaker 15 (20:31):
After signing with the New York Giants, he didn't just
break into baseball, maze burst into it. He batted four
to seventy seven in thirty five games at TRIPAA before
getting called up, where he immediately became one of the
greatest acts in the show.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
There Are Five Things You Can Do is a position
player in baseball. Hit, hit for power, hit for average,
run and throw. There was not a thing he couldn't do,
and not only that, but his intelligence and playing the game.
Speaker 17 (21:01):
His Terrek Dory was from foul line to file line,
to stay out of his way. Fresco Thompson, the general
manager for the Brooklyn Dodgers, said, Willie Mays's glove where
triples go to die.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
May's physical ability, his power, his speed, and his own.
Speaker 15 (21:18):
Level of expectation had people shaking their heads from the
moment they saw him play. Routine plays for May's were
impossible feats for others. Nineteen fifty one was this rookie season,
and his first hit was a home run our future
Hall of Famer Warren Spawn, who realized that one swing
may have ultimate history of the game. Spawn said of
the home run, I'll never forgive myself. We might have
(21:41):
gotten rid of Willy forever if I'd only struck him out.
That same season, May's helped the Giants erase the Dodgers'
lead in the standings, and he walked from the on
deck circle during Bobby Thompson's home run.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Drafted into the service in.
Speaker 15 (22:03):
Nineteen fifty two, during the Korean War, May's managed to
play more baseball than anything else on the Virginia military base,
but still lost nearly two full seasons of his major
league career. When he came back to the majors in
nineteen fifty four, his career took off. He won the
Most Viable Player award, the Giants won the World Series,
(22:23):
and Mays was elected to his first All Star Game.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
He ended up playing in twenty four of them.
Speaker 15 (22:29):
It was Ted Williams who said they invented the All
Star Game for Willie Mays. It was Williams, along with
Joe DiMaggio and Stan Musul, who inspired Willy to greatness.
Speaker 14 (22:39):
He was so dominant, so many All Star Games, so
many gold Gloves. I mean, he did so much for
the game that he's going to remembered. More so for him,
mister Mays.
Speaker 15 (22:51):
To say Hey Kid, the nickname the say Hey Kid,
is alleged to have been tagged to really for his
calling out to teammates not their names, but with a
hey or say hey. If one singular moment captured the
greatness of Willie Mays, that iconic play would be the
catch Game one of the fifty four World Series Cleveland's
(23:13):
Vic Wurtz drives a ball deep to center in the
eighth inning of a two to two time.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
They're a right way mine, right what?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I may not fuck him?
Speaker 10 (23:28):
Run with me?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Cut what the run?
Speaker 8 (23:31):
A pick a lot of people.
Speaker 13 (23:34):
As I'm running, I'm not worrying about catching the ball.
My biggest part was how am I gonna get this
ball back into the infield? If I didn't catch the ball,
the guy on second is gonna score, the guy on
five is gonna score.
Speaker 15 (23:48):
Collectively, May's career numbers are unmatched. There's only one other
player who had at least twenty five hundred plus hits,
six hundred plus home runs, five hundred plus doubles, and
one undred plus triples, and that's Babe Ruth. Throw in
three hundred plus deals and really Mays and stands alone.
Speaker 18 (24:07):
Willing, to me is the greatest all around ball player
that I've ever seen. And I've seen so many great
ballplayers I've had the opportunity to play against and to
play with, but as four as being a pure honest
ball player, which he was considered the five things of
five basic things that you do, I haven't seen anybody
as good as Willing.
Speaker 15 (24:27):
Long before he was chasing home run records. Barry Bonds
grew up in the giant shadow of Mes his godfather
and his own father, Bobby Bonds. While Bobby sent a
high bar for Barry to jump to, Willie's was in
another stratus field.
Speaker 19 (24:41):
All I wanted to do was just make the person
that I admire my whole life proud of what I
you know, what I was going to accomplish or what
I was going to do in my life. And yeah,
I love Willie more than anything in the world. I
couldn't have had anyone pushed me better Between him, my
dad and Louie couldn't know.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I couldn't. I couldn't have failed. There was just no
way possible.
Speaker 15 (25:07):
May's retired in nineteen seventy three with the Mets, finishing
his career.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
In New York. There at all started through baseball.
Speaker 15 (25:16):
May is connected with generations of fans, whether playing stickball
with the neighborhood kids in Harlem early in his career
or orchestrating a team of black players for exhibition games
late in his career. His enthusiasm for the sport is contagious.
The game brought him fame, but not a fortune. His
currency are the numbers he put up and the memories
(25:37):
he created. His statue now fronts the Giants Ballpark at
twenty four Willie May's Plaza, and in San Francisco every
May twenty fourth they celebrate with he May's Day. His
plaque has been in Cooperstown since nineteen seventy nine. His
legacy will live forever as perhaps the best baseball player
of all time.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
He has he en did a beautiful job with that piece.
A couple of quick notes. I do think the argument
is become walpart we're Willie, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays
as the greatest baseball players who ever lived. I really
think it's that it's that short of a list, complete player.
And I appreciated Tim McCarver bringing up the IQ portion
(26:19):
that isn't one of the Big five when it comes
to baseball. I want to end with an anecdotal story
that Bob cost Is told last night during the Yankees broadcast.
Apparently Bob Gibson was brought they were in town playing
the Cardinals were playing the Giants, and so they brought
(26:39):
Bob Gibson over to Willie Mays's house for dinner. So
the doorbell rings and Willie opens the door really kind
of had a high voice and delivery, and there's Bob
Gibson wearing glasses, which Bob Gibson ever pitched with glasses.
Willie Mays only saw Bob Gibson on the playing field,
so it was a shock him and so will He
looks at him and says, do.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
You wear glasses? And Bob guess He goes, yeah, I
can't see it.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
He goes, You're gonna kill somebody because he realizes all
this time he's been pitching with no glasses. Here's your
top five stories of the day. He just did a
long tribute to Milly Mays, one of the most extraordinary
baseball players of our time. Rob Manford, the Commissioner of
Major League Baseball, issued a statement on the passing of
(27:25):
the Hall of Famer Chris Caragio has details.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
Manfred said that all of Major League Baseball is in mourning,
adding that his achievements and statistics do not begin to
describe the awe that came with watching May's dominate the
game in every way imaginable. Whom he may spend most
of his twenty two year career playing for the San
Francisco Giants. He ended that career in nineteen seventy three
with six hundred and sixty home runs, and he won
a record time twelve goal Glove Awards.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
I'm Chris Caragio well, and the left isn't trying to
hold Donald Trump to a gag order and keep him
from speaking. They're trying to put words in his mouth.
Now he's not having Mark Mayfield reports in our Road
to the White House.
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Road to the White House twenty twenty four, former President
Trump is pushing back against reports that he said Milwaukee
is a horrible city.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I love Milwaukee. I was the one that picked Milwaukee.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I have to doubt you.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
I was the one that picked it.
Speaker 9 (28:15):
Former President Trump says Democrats are lying about his alleged
statements about Milwaukee. They lie, lie, lie.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
They have a horrible candidate.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
They have a candidate that has no clue.
Speaker 17 (28:24):
Doesn't know where he is, and all they can do
is lie.
Speaker 9 (28:27):
While campaigning in the key swing state of Wisconsin on Tuesday,
he told the Racine crowd, it's a complete line made
up by the Democrats. Ahead of the Republican Convention next month.
In the city, Trump also mentioned the videos of President
Biden that critics say show Biden looking confused. He claimed
the videos are embarrassing the US on the global stage.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
What is it about that clip makes me look forward
to Friday's forty five?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
New York's top Court is declining to hear Donald Trump's
appeal on the gag order in his hush money case.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Lisa Taylor has the details.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
The court is maintaining the restrictions following his felony conviction.
Trump's legal teams planned to continue fighting the gag order
imposed by Judge Van Mrshan, with a ruling expected soon
on a defense request to lift the order. Trump was
convicted on thirty four counts of falsifying business records related
to a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. He said
to be sentenced July eleventh. I'mly Se Tailor.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Meanwhile, President Biden announced a new plan providing a path
to citizenship for about five hundred thousand undocumented spouses we
legal aliens. Biden said he wants those immigrants to put
their skills to work for America.
Speaker 18 (29:29):
Pass collected officials.
Speaker 17 (29:31):
They know it's good for American business, they know it's
good for the American economy.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
They know it's good for America period.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Program applies to immigrants who have been living in the
country for at least a decade. The Biden administration says
the majority of those affected would be Mexicans. The Trump
campaign calls to move mass amnesty and a power grab
for votes. Between this paying off of student loans the
gag orders. You can answer for yourself whether you think
(29:58):
these are acts of governance or election interference. Pop star
Justin Timberlake is facing legal trouble. Michael Kastner has our story.
Speaker 11 (30:09):
He was arrested Monday night in New York on suspicion

NASA has issued an asteroid alert for the planet. They
say a one hundred and ten foot space rock is
barreling toward Earth. It's traveling it over twenty seven thousand
miles per hour, and they say it's due to pass
by June nineteenth. Don't worry. NASA says it'll be more
than three million miles away, so no impact for us,
and you won't be able to see it either. But
(31:01):
they say it's there and it will cruise by again
in another four hundred and sixty three days.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
