The lights of Broadway a bit dimmer now. Voice of my childhood - and decades of adulthood. “Ellll Du-Kay … deals…”

We are devastated to hear about the passing of John Sterling, a WFAN and Yankees radio icon whose voice was synonymous with an entire generation of Yankee fandom.
Rest in peace, John ❤️

In another phone call this evening, President Trump told me this about the death of Ayatollah Khamenei:
"I got him before he got me. They tried twice. Well I got him first."
That’s a reference to what US intelligence believes was a plot to kill Trump in 2024.
