Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live. Every day we're heard on great
stations like News Talk five point fifty k f YI
and Phoenix News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland
and ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a
part of your morning routine. We'd love to have you
listen live. But in the meantime, enjoy the podcast two.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Three starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this stage.
This is your morning show with Michael, Bill Johnny.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I don't think we're on any stations in Arkansas, are we?
I have not seen that on the list. No, I
mean I keep up. I mean having photographic memories. I
kind of remember where we are. Well in Memphis, Biloxi.
They can get into arkansall right? Oh I see, Oh,
I guess they can. Fifteen ten from Nashville can bounce
(00:55):
into it to Arkansas. I have picked up fifteen ten
in Cleveland back when I was with Titans Radio. Well,
Bill wrote and we were talking about debates yesterday, and
he said, this is not an original observation, but with
the proliferation of goofs and gaffs of Joe Biden when
the bar is that low for him and fully on
(01:17):
display as as dementia and stutter. If he can actually
make it through the debate with President Trump, he'll appear
to a casual observer to have actually won the debate. Yeah,
you can set a bar too low. But here's the
problem we talk about. We don't have We don't have
news anymore, and I hope you realize that, just like
(01:40):
we don't have privacy anymore. I hope you realize that.
I mean, don't say anything in a text to anyone
you wouldn't say on national TV today. Don't post anything
on Facebook. This is what's scary for your kids that
are twelve thirteen years old. They could be posting things
on social media today. They're going to keep them from
getting a job fifteen years from now. We've seen this
(02:00):
happen athletes that grow up, they become professional stars, and
then some posts they did at twelve years old becomes
a controversy and they get caught in the web of
cancel culture. I mean, there is no privacy anymore, There
is no news anymore. What we have our narratives and
narrative repeaters. Narrative repeaters because they live in narrative bubbles.
So you know, one of the things I would add
(02:22):
to Bill's email is, look, if you're so desperate in
one bubble or the other to some degree, does it
matter how any of them perform, You're just gonna shape
the perception. I'll never forget. And just to show you
that this existed decades ago, Russia and I went to
(02:42):
a seapack event. It's a hilarious night there. We are
both in our tuxedos. Now, even at that point, Russia
was more successful than me. I'm a program director of
a Washington, DC radio station and a young talk show host.
He's got his national show, but it hasn't taken off yet.
And so we're in Washington and we find ourselves in
(03:03):
a room with the Vice President, with senators with you know,
at the time, what we would think of as stars
in broadcast television. And I look at it Rush and
I go, can you believe we're here? And Rush had
the memorable line, just act like we belong. And so
that's what we did all night long. We were walking
(03:24):
up the senators, shaking their hand, meeting him. It was
an absolute screen thanks for coming. But so then the
keynote speaker was Dan Quayle, and dan Quayle I remember
sitting there thinking, and I've spent my life studying John F. Kennedy,
so this stuck out to me. I thought, this may
be the most charismatic person I have ever watched deliver
(03:45):
a speech since John F. Kennedy. But think about perception
versus reality. The perception from watching SATA Night Live is
dan Quayle is a bumbling idiot. To this day, people
when you say dan Quayle think bumbling idiot. And I
saw one of the most intelligent, eloquent, natural, charismatic, at
(04:06):
times funny speaker I'd ever bought. I was just like,
looks at Rush, like, this is dan quip Now. I
do remember slightly in the middle of the speech he
said some Japanese official's name, and I guess he said
it wrong, went to say it again, said it wrong again,
and then got it right the third time. It was
no big deal and a great eloquent speech. I no
(04:30):
sooner got back to my condo in Columbia, Maryland after
the event, and I'm flicking on the news and what
are they doing making a big deal out of that mistake,
and that's the only clip they showed and just played
to the perception of a bumbling idiot. And so I
think if you're the left, they got to be looking
at what I'm about to do, the numbers and saying
(04:50):
we can't win.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
There's only one of two things that are possibly happening
right now. And you need to know this. Either they
don't mind losing the presidency after all, whether Biden wins
or Trump wins, they only get one term. Translation, they're
a lame duck from day one. Now do you interes
see how that plays out? Because for Donald Trump, he
(05:15):
becomes one of the only presidents that gets two first terms.
So will it play out like a first two term
where he gets a good two years to really get
some things done. But the strategists know whoever wins, only
gets one term, and if it's Biden, he's an immediate
lame duck. If it's Donald Trump, he'll be lame duck
after a year or so. It's not that big of
(05:36):
a deal, not compared to if you can take control
of the House and maintain control of the Senate, you
really control government. So they're either going to go with
Biden because you're obsessed with the presidency. We collectively in
America tend to be obsessed with the presidency while they
really steal what matters the House and Senate. Or we're
(06:00):
going to yank them and they're going to the bullpen
because the numbers are about to share. With you, he
can't win as far as the debate goes. Look as
far as the media narrative goes, the left will tell
you he did remarkable, just like they did in the
State of the Union. And the right will tell you
he did terrible, that he shows cognitive impair, that Donald
(06:21):
Trump was brilliant. All that matters. And that's why I
always draw these comparisons to nineteen sixty eight. In nineteen
sixty eight, all these games are being played, the anti
war movement against Johnson. There was tensions that nobody talked
about concerning the Great Society and the amount of money
being spent. That was very divisive and polarizing political. And
(06:44):
then there were racial tensions that were huge. There were
a lot of Blacks that were sick and tired of
playing at godly and peacefully like Martin Luther King, and
they were ready to be violent. After all, that's when
the Black Panthers were formed. There were a lot of
(07:05):
tensions going on in nineteen sixty eight, and then you
had the candidates all split up, So you ended up
with LBJ in the race. While everybody was wanting Robert
Kennedy Humphrey is vice president waiting in the wings. You
had McCarthy, who was an anti war candidate. Then you
(07:26):
had Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon gets the prize. This is
a Richard Nixon moment. We're living in twenty twenty four. Now.
Back then it was cultural divides and cultural movements, and
we certainly have those today, but the media was fixated
on separating them all. Oh, this is George Wallace's if
(07:49):
you're against the civil rights movement, Oh this is McCarthy.
This is if you're against the Vietnam War. Oh this
is LBJ. If you're for more spending and more war.
Oh this is Richard Nixon from the good old days
of the fifties with Ike. But Nixon's the one that
nailed and said there's a silent center in America that's
watching all of this, and they get it far beyond that,
(08:16):
and that's what's happening right now. So my response to
your email is great point. The bar is set very low.
If he can stand for ninety minutes, that's a victory
for Joe Biden. If he can make sense and not
cognitively literally sunset or freeze, that's a win for Joe Biden.
(08:38):
Or they'll sell it as a wind print. But there's
a silent center watching. And as we always quote Roy
O'Neil's great line, it's all baked into the cake. Because
we have so much AI deep fakes, mistrust, there is
no reality anymore. It's all perception. We just always say
(09:04):
perception is reality. Perception is the only reality left. Let
me give you an example. This is in Iowa. Now,
in Iowa, the Dispatch does the headline because you know
they're really trying to figure this out. Iowa poll finds
Trump leads Biden by double digits. And this is after
(09:27):
being a convicted felon. They can't figure it out, So
start reading the story. Even after former President Donald Trump's
criminal conviction. I mean, the guy's a convict. He leads
Joe Biden by nearly I can't even get it out.
I can't do it, Jeffrey, come on, come on, come on.
(09:47):
He leads by twenty percentage points among likely Iowa voters.
Can't do it again twenty the poll shows, published Monday,
fifty percent of likely Iowa voters this is astounding to me.
Look if they don't pull Joe Biden, a landslide's coming.
(10:08):
Fifty percent of likely voters said that they would support
Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee. Biden, the incumbent president
who defeated Trump in twenty twenty, only gets thirty two percent.
Outside of the main two candidates, Robert Kennedy Junior, who
is running it as an independent after failing to win
(10:28):
the Failing to win the Democratic nomination, he was forced
out by the party. The poll found nine percent of
likely voters support Kennedy. Chase Oliver, libertarian candidate, only got
two percent, another three percent would support someone else, one
percent will not vote, three percent are not sure. So
(10:49):
Kennedy nine percent, Trump fifty to thirty two percent. Let's
put this into perspective. Trump got fifty three percent of
the vote vote to Biden's forty five in the twenty
twenty election. He beat Hillary Clinton fifty two forty two
per so things have doubled. Remember we talked about oh,
America doesn't want this rematch. America doesn't want either. No, no, no,
(11:09):
that's a narrative from a year ago, or maybe even
a reality from a year ago. It's not a reality today.
America feels worse about Joe Biden today, had a lot
better about Donald Trump. Just look at Iowa, powerful numbers,
and let's not stop at Iowa. So I don't know
(11:29):
if you all agree on what the battle ground states are.
I don't know in this election if they continue forward
with Joe Biden. There's such a thing as traditional battle
ground states, because some of them aren't so battleground anymore.
The new battleground states. So Joe Biden at the top
of the ticket is New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Virginia.
(11:53):
But have he said that the traditional battleground states meaning
popular vote doesn't matter. It's an electoral college, and these
are they're going to decide the presidency. Arizona, Nevada on
the west coast, and the Great Lakes, Wisconsin and Michigan
and the South. Georgia becomes key. I think Virginia should
be on this list, and it's not. Pennsylvania is certainly
a key in North Carolina. In Georgia, Donald Trump leads
(12:18):
by five. In North Carolina, Donald Trump leads by five
point three. In Pennsylvania, Trump leads by two and a half. Michigan.
He's up in Michigan. Remember how we always say, is
this the twenty sixteen map or the twenty twenty map. Well,
this is certainly the twenty sixteen map. Arizona four and
(12:40):
a half, Nevada five point three on average, even Wisconsin
zero point one, which is about the way it fell
in twenty sixteen. That's how close it is. You look
at these numbers. Overall, Trump leads in the battleground states
by over three percent if the election were held today,
and it won't be held today. But do you really think,
(13:02):
based on everything we just talked about, a debate's going
to change anything.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chona.
Speaker 1 (13:11):

we have a clip of that, don't we. Yeah, where
to Hell's Bill? O'Reilly? Yeah, that's that guy Zerment call it.
Everybody a lot of a lot, all right? Top five
stories of the day at twenty seven minutes after the hour.
One of the all time greats uh and the oldest
(13:54):
living Hall of Famer is no longer living, passing away
at the age of ninety three. The great say Hey kid,
Willie Mace Phil Ferrar has more.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
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
(14:31):
he retired, Mays finished third on the all time home
run list with six hundred sixty. Willy May's dead at
the age of ninety three. I'm Phil farrar Well.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
The left loves to put the gag order on Trump now.
They even like to put words in his mouth, especially
concerning Milwaukee. Mark Mayfield has that story.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
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 video
so President Biden that critics say show Biden looking confused.
He claimed the videos are embarrassing the US on the
global stage. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
A tropical storm warning is now in effect for the
coasts of Texas as well as Mexico. Lisa Taylor has more.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
It 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 (15:32):
I'm Lisa Taylor. Speaking of warnings and watches. NASA says
we're on asteroid watch Pree Tennis with the tails and
are we safe.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
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 in 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. But they
(16:00):
say it's there and it will cruise by again in
another four hundred and sixty three days.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live. Even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
ninth The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC in Nashville, and
News Talk by fifty k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona.
Love to be a part of your morning routine, but
we're always grateful you're here. Now, enjoy the podcast. You know,
(16:29):
every morning I hope for two things. One a journey
of discovery. We did that on narratives and bubbles and
the latest polls earlier. And then I looked for like
a good look, for something to just kind of just say, hey, guys,
I know this is this is what everything's pointing to,
this is what everyone's talking about. But look over here
for a second. This might be the most important thing
(16:50):
going on. And the look for today is Vladimir Putin
flies to North Korea for the first time in two
decades and sits down with Kim Jong un and as
is unwavering support in a war in Ukraine? Is war escalating?
US backing Ukraine, now North Korea backing Russia. Meanwhile it's
(17:14):
a moss fades here comes Hesbelah. Are things escalating in
the Middle East? Here at home we can't even figure
out if we're rooting for the terrorists or our ally
Israel Democrats are freaking out the Bbnanya who's coming to
address Congress. But it's something more significant and a spread
of war taking place. We're going to visit with Lieutenant
James Lieutenant Colonel James Karafano in the third hour about that,
(17:37):
and you won't be getting mail on Wednesday, and banks
will be closed today. Why it's Juneteenth. We'll talk about
the holiday with Ore O'Neal in minutes, but first, Aaron
Rayel's here, and we talked so much about inflation and
one of the great driving forces rent More bad news.
Good morning, Aaron, Good morning.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Yes, so bad news, depending and where you are, because
we expect rents nationally to go up two percent this year.
That's what it's going to be asking for new leases nationwide,
But it depends on.
Speaker 9 (18:09):
Where you are.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Regionality matters. In the Northeast and the Midwest, Kansas City, Washington,
d C. Rents are going to go up. But if
you're in the Sun Belt, there has been record high
supply and this has turned rent growth negative. I'm talking
cities like Austin, like Texas, like Phoenix and Nashville. These
are places where we are seeing a huge boom in
(18:33):
rental availability and those prices are coming down. But for
the most part, big landlords say that renewed leases are
going to go up about four percent, new leases two
percent higher.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
David bonson joins us every Thursday is a brilliant money
whiz market guy, and you know he always talks about,
you know, we got the housing shortage for many reasons.
Boomers are hanging out of their homes because, yeah, you
can sell it, but you're going to go pay an
inflated price at double interest rates. So they're hanging out
of their homes. They were already beginning to hang out
of their homes anyway. And I think that has to
do with a long term trend of kids coming back
(19:06):
to live or getting married in the families, you know,
getting back to old traditional extended family in the home.
But you know, a lot of this stuff gets blocked
people that own homes, baby boomers. They don't approve zoning
for building and Aaron, I don't have to tell you.
You know, It's one thing when you want to create
a subdivision here or do some kind of mixed zoning here,
(19:28):
and that is another when people want to build apartment complexes.
Nobody wants apartment complexes near their neighborhood for any number
of reasons, not just the type you know of of
what it does to the neighborhood, but also what it
does to traffic and other things, and so you know,
somewhere along the line in certain areas we need more apartments.
(19:48):
That's part of the problem. Just like I think the
focus is going to be multi family living homes that
are going to be built, We're gonna also see a
lot of apartments being built. And you're seeing that where
they are already things they're holding are going down. Where
they're not, they're going sky high.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Yeah, exactly, you hit the nail on the head.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Because what we know is that the Labor Department data,
it shows that inflation was much cooler than expected last month.
But the idea that more apartment owners are raising rents
that could really offset these lower prices in other places,
So you know, shelter inflation. It's still running really hot.
It's at an annual rate of five point four percent.
So rising rents are definitely going to complicate the Fed
(20:29):
potentially easing interest rates later this year. This is this
is a difficult one, and I think that like the
regionality cannot be cannot be understated. There is so much
regionality that affects this, Like you know, the Sunbelt seeing
prices come down and then Northeast they're going sky high.
So it's not like everyone suffers from the same problem.
This is a specific to each location type thing. But
(20:51):
for the most part, rents are likely to still go
up when you take it on average.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I was just going to say, and then, you know,
we talk about regionality, but what's lost in all this
and probably nowhere to be seen. Look, we still want
to live what where A it's safe, B, where there's
good schools, C. Where it's near you know, things that
we need and amenities that we need. So we can
talk about in general regions are they up or down
(21:17):
as rent high or low. But if you really want
to get where your kids can go to school, where
you can feel safe, or you're near a Kroger or
a Publix or what have you, they're going to be
high every time. I know, I shopped them for my mom.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
And then, like like you said, it's always you're like, oh,
that one looks nice.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Oh.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
Then you go look at it and it's like and
of course everyone agrees.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
How do you even compare them like one, you know,
we weren't a nice area, and one was very dated,
and one was like I live in this yeah, and
you know, and they're completely different. But they're out there
if you want to hunt and find. But yeah, we
talk about home prices, interest rates, the effects and home prices.
Rent is right there with it. And this along with
food costs, restaurant cause, energy costs. This is what the
(22:04):
American people are really feeling heading into an election.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
Here, Oh listen, and that does not get you reelected
if you're the stiting president.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You know what we would call good timing.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
No, not at all.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
And listen. High supply is expected to continue to weigh
on the Sun Belt. That's a big thing. Asking for
new less nationally or running pretty flat over the past
twelve months, but the Sun Belt, where we've had this
record high supply, it's turning this rent growth negative in
these cities. That's awesome if you live.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
For ladies and gentlemen. Aliens have just abducted Aaron Rayale.
What's happened to her? Are? Yeah, it's cutting out. What
are you gonna do? That's life. There's only so much
technology we can we can flawlessly execute on a daily basis. Aaron,
great reporting. We'll talk again tomorrow, or if you're just
(22:57):
waking up our top five floors of the day, we'll
talk a lot about this because I think it's bigger
than a baseball story, especially on June tenth, one of
the greatest players who ever lived. And again, this is
kind of debatable for me, and it's tough because I
was a big Roberto Clemeny fan, Ty Cobb, Pete Rose.
(23:19):
There's a lot of things you can kick around for me.
Babe Ruth and Willie Mace were the two greatest baseball
players of all time. For Willie May's hit for power,
hit for average speed. What do we talk about? Three
hundred stolen bases, six hundred and sixty homers in many
of those years at Candlestick where it's Wendy and it
was a deep park. Or he would have done what
Hank Aaron did. This guy could do at all. Major
(23:41):
League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manford released a formal statement on
behalf of Major League Baseball on the passing of Willie
Mays at ninety three. Chris Carragio has the details.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
Manfred said that all of Major League Baseball is in morning,
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 (24:12):
I'm Chris Caragio. You know, we played a piece earlier
that ESPN did that was absolutely beautiful, and I was
completely unaware of this. I forgot he'd lost two years
to go fight in the Korean War. He could have
taken prime yeers. So we're talking about Ali and what
he could have done in the years that he lost.
New York's top court is declining to hear Donald Trump's
appeal and a gag order. Lisa Taylor has.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
More the court is maintaining the restrictions following his felony conviction.
Trump's legal teams planned to continue fighting the gag order
imposed by Judge Wan Murshan, 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'm Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
We often talk about how Joe Biden has a b problem.
Border is an eye problem. Israel, he has an eye problem. Inflation,
e problem, it's the economy, stupid problem, paying off people's
student loans. He's hemorrhaging Hispanic votes, hemorrhaging Black votes, hemorrhaging
youth votes. And now comes the president's plan for amnesty
(25:15):
for five hundred thousand undocumented spouses. He wants the immigrants
to put their skills to work for America.
Speaker 10 (25:21):
Pass colected officials. 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 (25:28):
Period. The 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.
Trump campaign calls the move mass amnesty and a power
grab for votes. President Biden talked about his executive action.
Speaker 10 (25:44):
About keeping couples together who are married where one spouse
is the US citizen the others undocumented. They've been living
in the United States for at least ten years.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Is this more of the problem or a solution? To
the problem. Is this governance or election interference or politics
in an election year. I'll let you decide. Pop star
Justin Timberlake is facing some legal trouble. Michael Kastner reports he.
Speaker 11 (26:09):
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 cast and
(26:31):
see if I was like Michael Casner to have a
Little Little River Band clip of night Owls, one of
my favorite Little River Band songs.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
But I got some bad news for night Owls. New
research from Stanford University shows that going to bed late
is not good for your mental health. Sarah le Kessler reports.
Speaker 12 (26:46):
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.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
To bed late.
Speaker 12 (27:00):
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.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
Hi, this is.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
Jimmy Bourne My Morning Show.
Speaker 9 (27:12):
Thank your Morning Show with Michael Deljorno.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Well, I can't help but be taken by here at home,
the Democrats are fighting amongst themselves, threatening to boycott AOC.
Very outspoken. How dare Bb Neat and Yahoo come and
address a joint session of Congress in America? After all,
we're on the terrorist side. We can't figure out America
if we're rooting for Israel to the terrorists. And I
(27:37):
got news for you. We're still in this war. We're
the next target. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin goes to North Korea
for the first time in two decades and sits down
with Kim Jong un. Kim Jong un gives his unwavering
support for Russia. His war escalating, and it's a moss
clearly lost, but wants the victory settlement for peace. As
(27:59):
they exit, comes hesbalat Is war expanding there as well.
We're going to talk to Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano about that.
In about fourteen minutes, But first things first, it's Juneteenth,
and I wonder how many people know exactly what Juneteenth is.
Roory O'Neil is here to tell you why banks aren't open,
why there'll be no mail today. This is a federal holiday.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
It is, and it has been since twenty twenty one
when President Biden signed into law the Juneteenth National Independence
Day Act, finally approved by Congress and sent to his desk.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
It does mark June nineteenth as a federal holiday.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
So as you said, no mail, FedEx and ups should
be running. Also means the US stock markets are closed today.
This all goes back to June nineteenth, June teenth of
eighteen sixty five, when Union troops led by Major General
Gordon Granger got to Galveston Bay, Texas to announce that
more than a quarter million black people in that state
(28:54):
were now free.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
And it's a symbolic of, you know, abolition of slavery
in general is kind of what it's become. It's kind
of we grew up. We had Lincoln's birthday, we had
Washington's birthday, and we knew what we were acknowledging or
knew what we were celebrating. Now it's just President's Day,
but juneteen. You know, I'm trying to think. It seems
like when I was in Tulsa, Gutein had a lot
to do because they had such a big race ride
(29:19):
in Telsa, so that would kind of bleed into the
June celebrations. But this is really ultimately big picture about
the end of slavery and getting that right exactly.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
And look, they started celebrating Juneteenth in eighteen sixty six,
a year after this was a celebration in Texas, and
it had been growing and growing, and more states had
been making it a holiday, calling it Black Independence Day
even but it finally passed the federal law after the
killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. That finally was the
(29:51):
little kick in the rear end that Congress got to
pass this as a federal holiday. Not all states have
it as a state holiday, so it's a more and
more our adopting it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
When we add these new holidays, does one go away?
It just seems like we've been adding lately without anything
anything going away pretty soon.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I mean Martin Luther King Day was the last one
we added, but prior to this, so okay.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
So yeah, we didn't realize. I didn't even I mean
I knew, I mean, I know what Juneteenth is. It
kind of slipped my mind that we made it a
federal holiday until Jeffrey said, hey, guess what we're getting
time and a half today. I really working out a holiday.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
I also fall off the calendar, Like Columbus Day isn't
really celebrated as much anymore. More. People say I'd rather,
I'd rather work Columbus Day and give me the day
after Thanksgiving off.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I mean, that's been the change for a while. Well,
if we go to the four day work week, we
could just make every Monday something and then we sure
the Monday holiday. I yeah, because Monday, Well not really,
it doesn't always work that way.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I do a thing once a year around Opening Day
of Baseball called Baseball is so much more than a game,
a state of the Baseball address, and for me it is.
It's been. It's been so influential to my life, and
I never think about it in terms of race, other
than to say I'm grateful to baseball because of Roberto Clementi,
because of Willie Mays, because of Hank Aaron, because of
(31:17):
in basketball, doctor j Julius Irving or Michael Jordan later
that my bedroom didn't see color. In fact, it was
dominated by non whites, the giant posters. In fact, I'm
thinking the only white poster I had was fair and
Faucet rock hel Walt was in my brother's room. But
(31:37):
Willie Mays got to take a moment because I think
it's so much more than a baseball story. And if
you love the game of baseball, a round ball, a
round bad balance, power, IQ, arm strength, speed. I mean,
this is a guy that had it all, twelve consecutive
Golden Gloves, twenty four All Star Games, six hundred and
(31:59):
sixty home runs, that it was missing two years to
serve in the Korean War, and having to play at
windy deep Candlestick Park. I mean, do we know I
would think Babe Ruth or Willie Mays is the only
debate and who the greatest baseball player of all time
was the greatest baseball player who ever lived? And the
oldest living Hall of Famer died yesterday at ninety three
(32:21):
years old, two days before we're going to do a
Negro League commemorative event that he was to be at.
This is so much bigger than sports.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
It is, and you know you have to add the
racial component to all that. I mean, he played in
challenging times, to put it mildly, and you didn't face
a lot of the challenges that Babe Ruth or he
faced a lot more challenges in some ways than Babe
Ruth had to off the field, of course.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Well, he and Hank Aaron, and I think what's interesting
to bring up is I don't know that Hank ever
got over it, whereas Willy did. I think that's a safe,
fair thing to say. I mean, these people heard awful
things from the stands and were treated in awful ways,
and their lives threatened if they broke the Babes records.
And just he was everything on the field, arm strength, speed, power,
(33:11):
hit for average. He could do it all field and
then off the field. Just one of the one of
the greatest human beings. Big loss, big loss for America.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Ndheld.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Show enough
Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live. Every day we're heard on great
stations like News Talk five point fifty k f YI
and Phoenix News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland
and ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a
part of your morning routine. We'd love to have you
listen live. But in the meantime, enjoy the podcast two.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Three starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this stage.
This is your morning show with Michael, Bill Johnny.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I don't think we're on any stations in Arkansas, are we?
I have not seen that on the list. No, I
mean I keep up. I mean having photographic memories. I
kind of remember where we are. Well in Memphis, Biloxi.
They can get into arkansall right? Oh I see, Oh,
I guess they can. Fifteen ten from Nashville can bounce
(00:55):
into it to Arkansas. I have picked up fifteen ten
in Cleveland back when I was with Titans Radio. Well,
Bill wrote and we were talking about debates yesterday, and
he said, this is not an original observation, but with
the proliferation of goofs and gaffs of Joe Biden when
the bar is that low for him and fully on
(01:17):
display as as dementia and stutter. If he can actually
make it through the debate with President Trump, he'll appear
to a casual observer to have actually won the debate. Yeah,
you can set a bar too low. But here's the
problem we talk about. We don't have We don't have
news anymore, and I hope you realize that, just like
(01:40):
we don't have privacy anymore. I hope you realize that.
I mean, don't say anything in a text to anyone
you wouldn't say on national TV today. Don't post anything
on Facebook. This is what's scary for your kids that
are twelve thirteen years old. They could be posting things
on social media today. They're going to keep them from
getting a job fifteen years from now. We've seen this
(02:00):
happen athletes that grow up, they become professional stars, and
then some posts they did at twelve years old becomes
a controversy and they get caught in the web of
cancel culture. I mean, there is no privacy anymore, There
is no news anymore. What we have our narratives and
narrative repeaters. Narrative repeaters because they live in narrative bubbles.
So you know, one of the things I would add
(02:22):
to Bill's email is, look, if you're so desperate in
one bubble or the other to some degree, does it
matter how any of them perform, You're just gonna shape
the perception. I'll never forget. And just to show you
that this existed decades ago, Russia and I went to
(02:42):
a seapack event. It's a hilarious night there. We are
both in our tuxedos. Now, even at that point, Russia
was more successful than me. I'm a program director of
a Washington, DC radio station and a young talk show host.
He's got his national show, but it hasn't taken off yet.
And so we're in Washington and we find ourselves in
(03:03):
a room with the Vice President, with senators with you know,
at the time, what we would think of as stars
in broadcast television. And I look at it Rush and
I go, can you believe we're here? And Rush had
the memorable line, just act like we belong. And so
that's what we did all night long. We were walking
(03:24):
up the senators, shaking their hand, meeting him. It was
an absolute screen thanks for coming. But so then the
keynote speaker was Dan Quayle, and dan Quayle I remember
sitting there thinking, and I've spent my life studying John F. Kennedy,
so this stuck out to me. I thought, this may
be the most charismatic person I have ever watched deliver
(03:45):
a speech since John F. Kennedy. But think about perception
versus reality. The perception from watching SATA Night Live is
dan Quayle is a bumbling idiot. To this day, people
when you say dan Quayle think bumbling idiot. And I
saw one of the most intelligent, eloquent, natural, charismatic, at
(04:06):
times funny speaker I'd ever bought. I was just like,
looks at Rush, like, this is dan quip Now. I
do remember slightly in the middle of the speech he
said some Japanese official's name, and I guess he said
it wrong, went to say it again, said it wrong again,
and then got it right the third time. It was
no big deal and a great eloquent speech. I no
(04:30):
sooner got back to my condo in Columbia, Maryland after
the event, and I'm flicking on the news and what
are they doing making a big deal out of that mistake,
and that's the only clip they showed and just played
to the perception of a bumbling idiot. And so I
think if you're the left, they got to be looking
at what I'm about to do, the numbers and saying
(04:50):
we can't win.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
There's only one of two things that are possibly happening
right now. And you need to know this. Either they
don't mind losing the presidency after all, whether Biden wins
or Trump wins, they only get one term. Translation, they're
a lame duck from day one. Now do you interes
see how that plays out? Because for Donald Trump, he
(05:15):
becomes one of the only presidents that gets two first terms.
So will it play out like a first two term
where he gets a good two years to really get
some things done. But the strategists know whoever wins, only
gets one term, and if it's Biden, he's an immediate
lame duck. If it's Donald Trump, he'll be lame duck
after a year or so. It's not that big of
(05:36):
a deal, not compared to if you can take control
of the House and maintain control of the Senate, you
really control government. So they're either going to go with
Biden because you're obsessed with the presidency. We collectively in
America tend to be obsessed with the presidency while they
really steal what matters the House and Senate. Or we're
(06:00):
going to yank them and they're going to the bullpen
because the numbers are about to share. With you, he
can't win as far as the debate goes. Look as
far as the media narrative goes, the left will tell
you he did remarkable, just like they did in the
State of the Union. And the right will tell you
he did terrible, that he shows cognitive impair, that Donald
(06:21):
Trump was brilliant. All that matters. And that's why I
always draw these comparisons to nineteen sixty eight. In nineteen
sixty eight, all these games are being played, the anti
war movement against Johnson. There was tensions that nobody talked
about concerning the Great Society and the amount of money
being spent. That was very divisive and polarizing political. And
(06:44):
then there were racial tensions that were huge. There were
a lot of Blacks that were sick and tired of
playing at godly and peacefully like Martin Luther King, and
they were ready to be violent. After all, that's when
the Black Panthers were formed. There were a lot of
(07:05):
tensions going on in nineteen sixty eight, and then you
had the candidates all split up, So you ended up
with LBJ in the race. While everybody was wanting Robert
Kennedy Humphrey is vice president waiting in the wings. You
had McCarthy, who was an anti war candidate. Then you
(07:26):
had Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon gets the prize. This is
a Richard Nixon moment. We're living in twenty twenty four. Now.
Back then it was cultural divides and cultural movements, and
we certainly have those today, but the media was fixated
on separating them all. Oh, this is George Wallace's if
(07:49):
you're against the civil rights movement, Oh this is McCarthy.
This is if you're against the Vietnam War. Oh this
is LBJ. If you're for more spending and more war.
Oh this is Richard Nixon from the good old days
of the fifties with Ike. But Nixon's the one that
nailed and said there's a silent center in America that's
watching all of this, and they get it far beyond that,
(08:16):
and that's what's happening right now. So my response to
your email is great point. The bar is set very low.
If he can stand for ninety minutes, that's a victory
for Joe Biden. If he can make sense and not
cognitively literally sunset or freeze, that's a win for Joe Biden.
(08:38):
Or they'll sell it as a wind print. But there's
a silent center watching. And as we always quote Roy
O'Neil's great line, it's all baked into the cake. Because
we have so much AI deep fakes, mistrust, there is
no reality anymore. It's all perception. We just always say
(09:04):
perception is reality. Perception is the only reality left. Let
me give you an example. This is in Iowa. Now,
in Iowa, the Dispatch does the headline because you know
they're really trying to figure this out. Iowa poll finds
Trump leads Biden by double digits. And this is after
(09:27):
being a convicted felon. They can't figure it out, So
start reading the story. Even after former President Donald Trump's
criminal conviction. I mean, the guy's a convict. He leads
Joe Biden by nearly I can't even get it out.
I can't do it, Jeffrey, come on, come on, come on.
(09:47):
He leads by twenty percentage points among likely Iowa voters.
Can't do it again twenty the poll shows, published Monday,
fifty percent of likely Iowa voters this is astounding to me.
Look if they don't pull Joe Biden, a landslide's coming.
(10:08):
Fifty percent of likely voters said that they would support
Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee. Biden, the incumbent president
who defeated Trump in twenty twenty, only gets thirty two percent.
Outside of the main two candidates, Robert Kennedy Junior, who
is running it as an independent after failing to win
(10:28):
the Failing to win the Democratic nomination, he was forced
out by the party. The poll found nine percent of
likely voters support Kennedy. Chase Oliver, libertarian candidate, only got
two percent, another three percent would support someone else, one
percent will not vote, three percent are not sure. So
(10:49):
Kennedy nine percent, Trump fifty to thirty two percent. Let's
put this into perspective. Trump got fifty three percent of
the vote vote to Biden's forty five in the twenty
twenty election. He beat Hillary Clinton fifty two forty two
per so things have doubled. Remember we talked about oh,
America doesn't want this rematch. America doesn't want either. No, no, no,
(11:09):
that's a narrative from a year ago, or maybe even
a reality from a year ago. It's not a reality today.
America feels worse about Joe Biden today, had a lot
better about Donald Trump. Just look at Iowa, powerful numbers,
and let's not stop at Iowa. So I don't know
(11:29):
if you all agree on what the battle ground states are.
I don't know in this election if they continue forward
with Joe Biden. There's such a thing as traditional battle
ground states, because some of them aren't so battleground anymore.
The new battleground states. So Joe Biden at the top
of the ticket is New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Virginia.
(11:53):
But have he said that the traditional battleground states meaning
popular vote doesn't matter. It's an electoral college, and these
are they're going to decide the presidency. Arizona, Nevada on
the west coast, and the Great Lakes, Wisconsin and Michigan
and the South. Georgia becomes key. I think Virginia should
be on this list, and it's not. Pennsylvania is certainly
a key in North Carolina. In Georgia, Donald Trump leads
(12:18):
by five. In North Carolina, Donald Trump leads by five
point three. In Pennsylvania, Trump leads by two and a half. Michigan.
He's up in Michigan. Remember how we always say, is
this the twenty sixteen map or the twenty twenty map. Well,
this is certainly the twenty sixteen map. Arizona four and
(12:40):
a half, Nevada five point three on average, even Wisconsin
zero point one, which is about the way it fell
in twenty sixteen. That's how close it is. You look
at these numbers. Overall, Trump leads in the battleground states
by over three percent if the election were held today,
and it won't be held today. But do you really think,
(13:02):
based on everything we just talked about, a debate's going
to change anything.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chona.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Hey, we can't have the show without your voice. That's why.

to Hell's Bill? O'Reilly? Yeah, that's that guy Zerment call it.
Everybody a lot of a lot, all right? Top five
stories of the day at twenty seven minutes after the hour.
One of the all time greats uh and the oldest
(13:54):
living Hall of Famer is no longer living, passing away
at the age of ninety three. The great say Hey kid,
Willie Mace Phil Ferrar has more.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
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
(14:31):
he retired, Mays finished third on the all time home
run list with six hundred sixty. Willy May's dead at
the age of ninety three. I'm Phil farrar Well.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
The left loves to put the gag order on Trump now.
They even like to put words in his mouth, especially
concerning Milwaukee. Mark Mayfield has that story.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
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 video
so President Biden that critics say show Biden looking confused.
He claimed the videos are embarrassing the US on the
global stage. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
A tropical storm warning is now in effect for the
coasts of Texas as well as Mexico. Lisa Taylor has more.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
It 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 (15:32):
I'm Lisa Taylor. Speaking of warnings and watches. NASA says
we're on asteroid watch Pree Tennis with the tails and
are we safe.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
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 in 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. But they
(16:00):
say it's there and it will cruise by again in
another four hundred and sixty three days.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live. Even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
ninth The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC in Nashville, and
News Talk by fifty k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona.
Love to be a part of your morning routine, but
we're always grateful you're here. Now, enjoy the podcast. You know,
(16:29):
every morning I hope for two things. One a journey
of discovery. We did that on narratives and bubbles and
the latest polls earlier. And then I looked for like
a good look, for something to just kind of just say, hey, guys,
I know this is this is what everything's pointing to,
this is what everyone's talking about. But look over here
for a second. This might be the most important thing
(16:50):
going on. And the look for today is Vladimir Putin
flies to North Korea for the first time in two
decades and sits down with Kim Jong un and as
is unwavering support in a war in Ukraine? Is war escalating?
US backing Ukraine, now North Korea backing Russia. Meanwhile it's
(17:14):
a moss fades here comes Hesbelah. Are things escalating in
the Middle East? Here at home we can't even figure
out if we're rooting for the terrorists or our ally
Israel Democrats are freaking out the Bbnanya who's coming to
address Congress. But it's something more significant and a spread
of war taking place. We're going to visit with Lieutenant
James Lieutenant Colonel James Karafano in the third hour about that,
(17:37):
and you won't be getting mail on Wednesday, and banks
will be closed today. Why it's Juneteenth. We'll talk about
the holiday with Ore O'Neal in minutes, but first, Aaron
Rayel's here, and we talked so much about inflation and
one of the great driving forces rent More bad news.
Good morning, Aaron, Good morning.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Yes, so bad news, depending and where you are, because
we expect rents nationally to go up two percent this year.
That's what it's going to be asking for new leases nationwide,
But it depends on.
Speaker 9 (18:09):
Where you are.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Regionality matters. In the Northeast and the Midwest, Kansas City, Washington,
d C. Rents are going to go up. But if
you're in the Sun Belt, there has been record high
supply and this has turned rent growth negative. I'm talking
cities like Austin, like Texas, like Phoenix and Nashville. These
are places where we are seeing a huge boom in
(18:33):
rental availability and those prices are coming down. But for
the most part, big landlords say that renewed leases are
going to go up about four percent, new leases two
percent higher.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
David bonson joins us every Thursday is a brilliant money
whiz market guy, and you know he always talks about,
you know, we got the housing shortage for many reasons.
Boomers are hanging out of their homes because, yeah, you
can sell it, but you're going to go pay an
inflated price at double interest rates. So they're hanging out
of their homes. They were already beginning to hang out
of their homes anyway. And I think that has to
do with a long term trend of kids coming back
(19:06):
to live or getting married in the families, you know,
getting back to old traditional extended family in the home.
But you know, a lot of this stuff gets blocked
people that own homes, baby boomers. They don't approve zoning
for building and Aaron, I don't have to tell you.
You know, It's one thing when you want to create
a subdivision here or do some kind of mixed zoning here,
(19:28):
and that is another when people want to build apartment complexes.
Nobody wants apartment complexes near their neighborhood for any number
of reasons, not just the type you know of of
what it does to the neighborhood, but also what it
does to traffic and other things, and so you know,
somewhere along the line in certain areas we need more apartments.
(19:48):
That's part of the problem. Just like I think the
focus is going to be multi family living homes that
are going to be built, We're gonna also see a
lot of apartments being built. And you're seeing that where
they are already things they're holding are going down. Where
they're not, they're going sky high.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Yeah, exactly, you hit the nail on the head.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Because what we know is that the Labor Department data,
it shows that inflation was much cooler than expected last month.
But the idea that more apartment owners are raising rents
that could really offset these lower prices in other places,
So you know, shelter inflation. It's still running really hot.
It's at an annual rate of five point four percent.
So rising rents are definitely going to complicate the Fed
(20:29):
potentially easing interest rates later this year. This is this
is a difficult one, and I think that like the
regionality cannot be cannot be understated. There is so much
regionality that affects this, Like you know, the Sunbelt seeing
prices come down and then Northeast they're going sky high.
So it's not like everyone suffers from the same problem.
This is a specific to each location type thing. But
(20:51):
for the most part, rents are likely to still go
up when you take it on average.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I was just going to say, and then, you know,
we talk about regionality, but what's lost in all this
and probably nowhere to be seen. Look, we still want
to live what where A it's safe, B, where there's
good schools, C. Where it's near you know, things that
we need and amenities that we need. So we can
talk about in general regions are they up or down
(21:17):
as rent high or low. But if you really want
to get where your kids can go to school, where
you can feel safe, or you're near a Kroger or
a Publix or what have you, they're going to be
high every time. I know, I shopped them for my mom.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
And then, like like you said, it's always you're like, oh,
that one looks nice.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Oh.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
Then you go look at it and it's like and
of course everyone agrees.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
How do you even compare them like one, you know,
we weren't a nice area, and one was very dated,
and one was like I live in this yeah, and
you know, and they're completely different. But they're out there
if you want to hunt and find. But yeah, we
talk about home prices, interest rates, the effects and home prices.
Rent is right there with it. And this along with
food costs, restaurant cause, energy costs. This is what the
(22:04):
American people are really feeling heading into an election.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
Here, Oh listen, and that does not get you reelected
if you're the stiting president.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You know what we would call good timing.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
No, not at all.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
And listen. High supply is expected to continue to weigh
on the Sun Belt. That's a big thing. Asking for
new less nationally or running pretty flat over the past
twelve months, but the Sun Belt, where we've had this
record high supply, it's turning this rent growth negative in
these cities. That's awesome if you live.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
For ladies and gentlemen. Aliens have just abducted Aaron Rayale.
What's happened to her? Are? Yeah, it's cutting out. What
are you gonna do? That's life. There's only so much
technology we can we can flawlessly execute on a daily basis. Aaron,
great reporting. We'll talk again tomorrow, or if you're just
(22:57):
waking up our top five floors of the day, we'll
talk a lot about this because I think it's bigger
than a baseball story, especially on June tenth, one of
the greatest players who ever lived. And again, this is
kind of debatable for me, and it's tough because I
was a big Roberto Clemeny fan, Ty Cobb, Pete Rose.
(23:19):
There's a lot of things you can kick around for me.
Babe Ruth and Willie Mace were the two greatest baseball
players of all time. For Willie May's hit for power,
hit for average speed. What do we talk about? Three
hundred stolen bases, six hundred and sixty homers in many
of those years at Candlestick where it's Wendy and it
was a deep park. Or he would have done what
Hank Aaron did. This guy could do at all. Major
(23:41):
League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manford released a formal statement on
behalf of Major League Baseball on the passing of Willie
Mays at ninety three. Chris Carragio has the details.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
Manfred said that all of Major League Baseball is in morning,
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 (24:12):
I'm Chris Caragio. You know, we played a piece earlier
that ESPN did that was absolutely beautiful, and I was
completely unaware of this. I forgot he'd lost two years
to go fight in the Korean War. He could have
taken prime yeers. So we're talking about Ali and what
he could have done in the years that he lost.
New York's top court is declining to hear Donald Trump's
appeal and a gag order. Lisa Taylor has.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
More the court is maintaining the restrictions following his felony conviction.
Trump's legal teams planned to continue fighting the gag order
imposed by Judge Wan Murshan, 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'm Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
We often talk about how Joe Biden has a b problem.
Border is an eye problem. Israel, he has an eye problem. Inflation,
e problem, it's the economy, stupid problem, paying off people's
student loans. He's hemorrhaging Hispanic votes, hemorrhaging Black votes, hemorrhaging
youth votes. And now comes the president's plan for amnesty
(25:15):
for five hundred thousand undocumented spouses. He wants the immigrants
to put their skills to work for America.
Speaker 10 (25:21):
Pass colected officials. 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 (25:28):
Period. The 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.
Trump campaign calls the move mass amnesty and a power
grab for votes. President Biden talked about his executive action.
Speaker 10 (25:44):
About keeping couples together who are married where one spouse
is the US citizen the others undocumented. They've been living
in the United States for at least ten years.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Is this more of the problem or a solution? To
the problem. Is this governance or election interference or politics
in an election year. I'll let you decide. Pop star
Justin Timberlake is facing some legal trouble. Michael Kastner reports he.
Speaker 11 (26:09):
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 cast and
(26:31):
see if I was like Michael Casner to have a
Little Little River Band clip of night Owls, one of
my favorite Little River Band songs.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
But I got some bad news for night Owls. New
research from Stanford University shows that going to bed late
is not good for your mental health. Sarah le Kessler reports.
Speaker 12 (26:46):
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.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
To bed late.
Speaker 12 (27:00):
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.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
Hi, this is.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
Jimmy Bourne My Morning Show.
Speaker 9 (27:12):
Thank your Morning Show with Michael Deljorno.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Well, I can't help but be taken by here at home,
the Democrats are fighting amongst themselves, threatening to boycott AOC.
Very outspoken. How dare Bb Neat and Yahoo come and
address a joint session of Congress in America? After all,
we're on the terrorist side. We can't figure out America
if we're rooting for Israel to the terrorists. And I
(27:37):
got news for you. We're still in this war. We're
the next target. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin goes to North Korea
for the first time in two decades and sits down
with Kim Jong un. Kim Jong un gives his unwavering
support for Russia. His war escalating, and it's a moss
clearly lost, but wants the victory settlement for peace. As
(27:59):
they exit, comes hesbalat Is war expanding there as well.
We're going to talk to Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano about that.
In about fourteen minutes, But first things first, it's Juneteenth,
and I wonder how many people know exactly what Juneteenth is.
Roory O'Neil is here to tell you why banks aren't open,
why there'll be no mail today. This is a federal holiday.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
It is, and it has been since twenty twenty one
when President Biden signed into law the Juneteenth National Independence
Day Act, finally approved by Congress and sent to his desk.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
It does mark June nineteenth as a federal holiday.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
So as you said, no mail, FedEx and ups should
be running. Also means the US stock markets are closed today.
This all goes back to June nineteenth, June teenth of
eighteen sixty five, when Union troops led by Major General
Gordon Granger got to Galveston Bay, Texas to announce that
more than a quarter million black people in that state
(28:54):
were now free.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
And it's a symbolic of, you know, abolition of slavery
in general is kind of what it's become. It's kind
of we grew up. We had Lincoln's birthday, we had
Washington's birthday, and we knew what we were acknowledging or
knew what we were celebrating. Now it's just President's Day,
but juneteen. You know, I'm trying to think. It seems
like when I was in Tulsa, Gutein had a lot
to do because they had such a big race ride
(29:19):
in Telsa, so that would kind of bleed into the
June celebrations. But this is really ultimately big picture about
the end of slavery and getting that right exactly.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
And look, they started celebrating Juneteenth in eighteen sixty six,
a year after this was a celebration in Texas, and
it had been growing and growing, and more states had
been making it a holiday, calling it Black Independence Day
even but it finally passed the federal law after the
killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. That finally was the
(29:51):
little kick in the rear end that Congress got to
pass this as a federal holiday. Not all states have
it as a state holiday, so it's a more and
more our adopting it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
When we add these new holidays, does one go away?
It just seems like we've been adding lately without anything
anything going away pretty soon.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I mean Martin Luther King Day was the last one
we added, but prior to this, so okay.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
So yeah, we didn't realize. I didn't even I mean
I knew, I mean, I know what Juneteenth is. It
kind of slipped my mind that we made it a
federal holiday until Jeffrey said, hey, guess what we're getting
time and a half today. I really working out a holiday.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
I also fall off the calendar, Like Columbus Day isn't
really celebrated as much anymore. More. People say I'd rather,
I'd rather work Columbus Day and give me the day
after Thanksgiving off.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I mean, that's been the change for a while. Well,
if we go to the four day work week, we
could just make every Monday something and then we sure
the Monday holiday. I yeah, because Monday, Well not really,
it doesn't always work that way.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I do a thing once a year around Opening Day
of Baseball called Baseball is so much more than a game,
a state of the Baseball address, and for me it is.
It's been. It's been so influential to my life, and
I never think about it in terms of race, other
than to say I'm grateful to baseball because of Roberto Clementi,
because of Willie Mays, because of Hank Aaron, because of
(31:17):
in basketball, doctor j Julius Irving or Michael Jordan later
that my bedroom didn't see color. In fact, it was
dominated by non whites, the giant posters. In fact, I'm
thinking the only white poster I had was fair and
Faucet rock hel Walt was in my brother's room. But
(31:37):
Willie Mays got to take a moment because I think
it's so much more than a baseball story. And if
you love the game of baseball, a round ball, a
round bad balance, power, IQ, arm strength, speed. I mean,
this is a guy that had it all, twelve consecutive
Golden Gloves, twenty four All Star Games, six hundred and
(31:59):
sixty home runs, that it was missing two years to
serve in the Korean War, and having to play at
windy deep Candlestick Park. I mean, do we know I
would think Babe Ruth or Willie Mays is the only
debate and who the greatest baseball player of all time
was the greatest baseball player who ever lived? And the
oldest living Hall of Famer died yesterday at ninety three
(32:21):
years old, two days before we're going to do a
Negro League commemorative event that he was to be at.
This is so much bigger than sports.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
It is, and you know you have to add the
racial component to all that. I mean, he played in
challenging times, to put it mildly, and you didn't face
a lot of the challenges that Babe Ruth or he
faced a lot more challenges in some ways than Babe
Ruth had to off the field, of course.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Well, he and Hank Aaron, and I think what's interesting
to bring up is I don't know that Hank ever
got over it, whereas Willy did. I think that's a safe,
fair thing to say. I mean, these people heard awful
things from the stands and were treated in awful ways,
and their lives threatened if they broke the Babes records.
And just he was everything on the field, arm strength, speed, power,
(33:11):
hit for average. He could do it all field and
then off the field. Just one of the one of
the greatest human beings. Big loss, big loss for America.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Ndheld.
