Two three.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this toget.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
This is your morning.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Show with Michae Odell.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Join. I guess we would say good middle of the
night to Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, or good early morning to
those of you in Dallas, Saint Louis, Nashville, Memphis, and Hardy.
Good morning to all of you in Tampa, d C, Cleveland, Acron.
Welcome to your morning show on the airon Street live
on your iHeart app. I am Michael del Journo, and

(01:02):
this is Wednesday June teenth, June nineteenth, Year 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 most
of his twenty two seasons with the San Francisco Giants.
That's worthy of a note. If not Candlestick Park does

(01:23):
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,
some other names have clouded into that. But how many
more home runs does he get if he doesn't play

(01:44):
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
the basket catch and the Jack Brookhouse call, just one
of the greatest runners, greatest fielders, greatest hitters, greatest guys

(02:08):
of all time is gone at the age of ninety three.
It does feel like, you know, we had Hank passed,
spose that five years ago, now something like that. Oh yeah,
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,

(02:28):
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 before a joint session of Congress. I
couldn't help but sit here this morning and begin to
sip my coffee and enjoy my my breakfast bar and
think to myself, here we are at home with the

(02:51):
Democrat Party fighting amongst themselves over whether they're on Israel
side or the terrorist side. And at the exact same time,
we have Kim 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

(03:12):
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 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,

(03:34):
escalations that we should be concerned with. We'll talk with
Lieutenant Colonel James Karfano about that a little bit later
onto the show. In New York's Top Court is declining
to hear President Trump's 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.

(03:55):
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 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.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
We die young. Oh really, yeah, I'm not kidding. Remember, Jeffrey,
what was that two weeks ago we had the 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 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

(04:41):
and opposite of when most people are 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, it's got to be seven years.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
We're 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, and
it's hard to describe it. You're like, this doesn't feel right. Yeah,

(05:15):
fifteen years seems like the number.

Speaker 1 (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? 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. We don't need that, Jeffrey help it.
But I find I'm getting woken up in the middle
of really good dreams. Like I apparently I had joined
a frat, which I didn't believe in frats when I

(06:00):
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 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

(06:23):
you know, as you're looking at this, I'm well, let
me let me just ask you. 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 and 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. But no, well, the research shows time and

(06:54):
time again, and most recently, of nearly a million people,
it suggests that those who feel domistic 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 1 (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 herm 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 them
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 on 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, Jeffrey. I just
like the chance to experience. I just want to know

(08:33):
that I've been both.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
Let the private jet is terrible, give me just let
me see.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, well, I gotta 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 the cushion up. 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 has cracked up to be. But so
I mean, by and large, it's irrelevant. You know, we

(09:03):
just went through a study of the Book of Ecclesiastes,
which we believe Solomon wrote. I mean, here's a guy
that had everything. He had wisdom, he had money, he
had homes, he had power, he had everything, and he
just says nothing. It's meaningless. I think it's all. And
by the way, happiness is a joke too, right, because
it comes from the word happenstance things that are out
of our control. Has nothing to do with joy. But
in the loose terms of it, money has nothing to

(09:24):
do with happiness, whether you have it or not. I
think that's the way we should frame them. 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. 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. 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 se.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Most important, you know what.

Speaker 1 (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. Waking up, We're gonna have all top five
stories for you. Coming up. The oldest living Hall of

(10:45):
Famer Willie Howard Mays. Do you know what be and
Willie Mace have in common? 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 what is that?
What he was twentyfo?

Speaker 6 (11:00):
You were twelve? Oh?

Speaker 1 (11:01):
As far as the number, well, what did you have
in gommon? Our middle name were both Howard. I did
not know. 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

(11:24):
me tell you how great Willie Mays was. Willie Mays
was so good. 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. They stick
out like a sore thumb. And that's at the minor

(11:46):
league level. 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 his time. And maybe, and many will

(12:09):
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. But
when you add up the six hundred and sixty home
runs for the longest time, a record tying stolen base record,

(12:30):
the speed, the arm, the fielding, the hitting, what has
never talked about? That is everything in baseball, which is
iq This guy had it all. So our oldest Hall
of Famer, William Mace, 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

(12:54):
of our country. And development. This is a story that
goes way beyond baseball. Congress 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. Speech by bb NET and Yahoo.
In a new study out by Stanford University, we should
all go to bed for our mental health sake.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
This is your morning show with Michael Deltona.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
I'm going to put my headphones on and I'm going

morning show. I'm Michael del Jorno and these are your
top stories waiting up. That's our stop this morning. One

(13:41):
of the most extraordinary, if not the greatest baseball complete

Phil Ferrar has our details.

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.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Four World Series.

Speaker 7 (14:18):
When 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 1 (14:28):
Another Hall of Famer Jack Berkhouse on the call there.
Former President Trump is pushing back against reports that he
said Milwaukee is a horrible city. Oh is it getting
petty for the left? Mark Mayfield has more.

Speaker 8 (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
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. I'm Mark Neefield or expecting a bad hurricane season.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
In A tropical storm warning is now in effect for
the coast of Texas and Mexico. He's a tailor. Has more.

Speaker 9 (15:05):
This comes as the National Hurricane Center in Miami tracks
potential tropical cyclone one in the Gulf of Mexico. The
system is expected to become a tropical storm by Wednesday
and bring heavy rain and coastal flooding to Texas and
northeastern Mexico. Forecasters are also watching another system near the Bahamas,
but it has a low chance of developing in the
next week or so.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
I'm Lisa Taylor, pop superstar and actor Justin Timberlake facing
some legal trouble. Michael Casner reports.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Well, I got some bad news for you, night Owls.
New research out from Stanford University shows going to bed
late it's bad for our mental health. Sarah Lee Kessler
has more.

Speaker 11 (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.

I think on June teenth especially, this becomes important. I'm

(17:57):
so grateful from 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, so many great athletes, Roberto Clemente.

(18:19):
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, probably because of the home runs. And
I stated this earlier. If he didn't play twenty two

(18:41):
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 who ever lived, I think Babe
Ruth is in that conversation, and I think Willie Mays

(19:03):
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 mean pitching,
he was great, home runs, he was the original King.
Willie Mays had it all, twelve Golden Gloves, twenty four

(19:23):
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, and
that everybody knows.

Speaker 12 (19:35):
He's an iconic player, the epitome of what it means
to be a great all around baseball player.

Speaker 13 (19:40):
He's one of those special players that don't come around.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Too often, best in for of all time. You do
everything you want to be just like him.

Speaker 14 (19:48):
Willie Mays did not just play baseball. He performed it
like an artist, leaving an indelible impression on anyone.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Who saw him.

Speaker 15 (19:56):
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 14 (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 2 (20:24):
I had to stay in Schoogle, so I play Sad
and Sunday when school was in. When school was out,
I would go on your role with them.

Speaker 14 (20:31):
After signing with the New York Giants, he didn't just
break into baseball, Mays burst into it. He batted four
to seventy seven in thirty five games at Triple A
before getting called up, where he immediately became one of
the greatest acts in the show.

Speaker 6 (20:45):
There are five things you can do as 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 3 (21:01):
His territory was from foul line to file line.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Just stay out of his way.

Speaker 16 (21:05):
Fresco Thompson, the general manager for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Speaker 8 (21:09):
Said, Willie Mays's glove where triples go to die.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
Wow.

Speaker 14 (21:15):
May's physical ability, his power, his speed, and his own
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 his rookie season,
and his first hit was a home run a future
Hall of Famer Warren Spawn, who realized that one swing

(21:35):
may have altimate history of the game. Spawn said of
the home run, I'll never forgive myself. We might have
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. Drafted into the

(22:02):
service in 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, and Mays was elected to his first

(22:25):
All Star Game. He ended up playing in twenty four
of them. But 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 17 (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 remember more so for him,
mister Mays to say Hey Kid.

Speaker 14 (22:54):
The nickname the say Hey Kid is alleged to have
been tagged to really for his calling out to teammates
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 Vic Wurtz drives a ball

(23:14):
deep to center in the eighth inning of a two
to two.

Speaker 16 (23:17):
Time where the way way mine right?

Speaker 2 (23:26):
What I may.

Speaker 18 (23:28):
Run with me?

Speaker 12 (23:30):
What cut?

Speaker 14 (23:30):
What ugh they running out there?

Speaker 2 (23:34):
As I'm running, I'm not worrying about catching the ball.
My biggest point 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
flash is gonna score.

Speaker 14 (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 hundred plus triples, and that's Babe Ruth throw in
three hundred plus deals, and really Mays and stands alone.

Speaker 16 (24:07):
Only 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 who has considered the five things of
five basic things that you do, I haven't seen anybody
as good as Willy.

Speaker 14 (24:27):
Long before he was chasing home run records. Barry Bonds
grew up in the giant shadow of Mads, his godfather
and his own father, Bobby Bonds. While Bobby sent a
high bar for Barry to jump to, Willie's was in
another stratosphere.

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 I
love Willie more than anything in the world. And I
couldn't have had anyone pushed me better, between him, my dad,
and Lillie.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
No, I couldn't have failed. There was just no way possible.

Speaker 14 (25:07):
May's retired in nineteen seventy three with the Mets, finishing
his career in New York. There at all started through baseball.
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.

(25:30):
The game brought him fame, but not a fortune. His
currency are the numbers he put up and the memories
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

(25:52):
legacy will live forever as perhaps the best baseball player
of all time.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
He has fended a beautiful job with piece. A couple
of quick notes, I do think the argument is become
a wallpart. 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

of us are at that age where we're caring for
our parents, or maybe you're caring for your children and
you're seeing signs of hearing loss. Loss of hearing goes

and if you're not careful, after a while, to feel
like you're not just not hearing, you're not living. At

your morning show continues. It's fifty one minutes after the

(32:50):
hour on Wednesday, June nineteenth, juneteenth, twenty twenty four, and
here's your top five stories of the day. I just
did a long tribute to 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
the Hall of Famer Chris Caragio. Has details.

Speaker 12 (33:12):
Manfred said that all the 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. Who 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 tying twelve goal Glove Awards.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
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 8 (33:45):
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 1 (33:53):
I love Milwaukee.

Speaker 8 (33:54):
I was the one that picked Milwaukee.

Speaker 24 (33:56):
I have to tell you, I was the one that
picked it.

Speaker 8 (34:00):
President Trump says Democrats are lying about his alleged statements
about Wilwaukee. They lie, lie, lie.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
They have a horrible candidate. They have a candidate that.

Speaker 10 (34:07):
Has no clue, doesn't know where he is, and all
they can do is lie.

Speaker 8 (34:11):
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 1 (34:29):
I'm Mark Neefield, what is about that clip makes me
look forward to Fridays with forty five. New York's top
court is declining to hear Donald Trump's appeal on the
gag order in his hush money case. Lisa Taylor has
the details.

Speaker 9 (34:41):
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 S Taylor.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Meanwhile, President Biden announced a new plan providing a path
to citizenship for about five hundred thousand undocumented spouses legal aliens.
Biden said he wants those immigrants to put their skills
to work for America.

Speaker 16 (35:13):
Pass collected officials.

Speaker 7 (35:15):
They know it's good for American business, they know it's
good for the American economy, they know it's good for America.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Period. 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 in a power
grab for votes. Between this paying off of student loans
the gag orders, you can answer for yourself whether you

(35:41):
think these are acts of governance or election interference. Pop
star Justin Timberlake is facing legal trouble. Michael Kastner has
our story.

Speaker 10 (35:53):
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 each schedule 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 Cassner,

(36:16):
NASA says, we're on asteroid Watch.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Well presume it's a lot like tornadoes. Watch is better
than Morning Right to Tennis has our details.

Speaker 5 (36:25):
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

(36:45):
they say it's there and it will cruise by again
in another four hundred and sixty three days. I'm pre Tennis.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Netflix will open entertainment complexes in both Texas and Pennsylvania
next year. Netflix. You're welcome, You're well. Thank you. Netflix
House Locations. And by the way, had this story been
about NBC, we'd have had that too.

Speaker 23 (37:11):

Speaker 21 (37:13):

Speaker 23 (37:14):
You got rid of HBO?

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Yeah, this is in an HBO spot.

Speaker 13 (37:17):
Oh girl, baby girl.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Netflix. Well that's worth keeping Solik. 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 giants'
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

(37:41):
with Bridgerton is. Netflix says 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.
You can't sing it for you, but they pulled to

(38:03):
Beji's last night. I'm thinking of Bobrovski. He's given gave
up five before they pulled them in Game four. He
gave up another five last night. That's ten and two games. Now.
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? Could happen? We'll find

(38:26):
out Friday night. All of our area baseball teams of
your morning show, Cities lost. Cardinals lost ninety eight 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 shutout to the d Backs,
and the Guardians lost eight to five to the Mariners.
That means the only two winners of Cities were in

(38:47):
the d Backs and the Mariners. Birthdays today. Simon Rushti,
the novelist famous fatwa against him, seventy seven years old today,
so they haven't got him yet. Hearts and Wilson. There's
two talented sisters and is seventy four today. Singer dancing
Paula Abdul, snappy dresser sixty two years old and pop
