bradl bradley zimmer drafted by the cleveland indians.e was watching it from home and his aunt and went and bought the shirts for all 30 teams to make sure when his name was actually called, the right one would be waiting for him. i don't know if she left the tags on to take the other ones back or what? >> that was actually disappointing because i watched that live. i thought this guy had some sort of communication with the team or was in tune and the illusion just burst. >> the aunt. >> the aunt. >>> let's check in with christina right now. you say it's going to be a great weekend for local baseball? >> that's right. make sure you have the ball cap ready to go. especially out at at&t park. temperatures are going to be great for the long stretch, ten-game home stretch starting tonight at 7:15. we get into this afternoon and it's going to be warm out there. up to 92 degrees out in the extreme east bay for today. but this is not as high as we're climbing. temperatures are going to peak over the weekend. we'll tell you where to get to if you

money to fund road and bridge projects, real estate deals made by sampson, and claims made by don zimmeracked up, and then the politics of this, which is governor chris christie, when i show him there as i did in the leave dancing with jimmy fallon, sometimes a late night appearance is not just a late night appearance. they are working to try to suggest that he is happy, that he's chill, that this is all good. >> oh, and if you go to trenton, you get the sense, that's what i had last week, you get the sense there are a tremendous number of people who are moving on, ready for this to go away, who think this is over, because what they can see and what we get updates on doesn't seem all that exciting. again, this stuff that's where the action is, is happening out of sight. but it's really important. because if you can get to david sampson, it's hard to overstate to a national audience sort of the towering figure that david sampson is. >> the karl rove of new jersey. >> this is someone who has his -- who is tied in to a lot of people, has a stern reputation. so being able to get someone like

. >>> manager and coach don zimmer has died. zimmer was one of the most colorful and well traveled characters. he spent 60 years in baseball, successful years as a may player himself. his deep love of the game promptled him to stay. he never worked a day in his life. don zimmer was 83. >>> and the ultimate battle between the east and west coast living up to its bilk wednesday night in game one of the stanley cup finals. the los angeles kings hosting the new york rangers and the kings came from behind and tied this up on this drew doughty goal. they made the home fans proud there. justin williams then gets the goal and he ends is game los angeles winning there three to two takes the inning in the lead. thousands of rangers fans last night watching on the big screen, so clearly, so much enthusiasm. a lot of people into this stanley cup. >> one game. one game. >> can you imagine, the people were cry physical that little scene. >> there have been a lot of overtimes. they have to have a shot, they got to physical that out. >> it was

another charge could be the alleged shake down of dawn zimmer for failure to back a waterfront development project the governor favored. still another charge could involve the alleged legal diversion of port authority fundses to projects many new jersey which could involve securities fraud. tonight, we study this new look into the criminal investigation that now heads toward the governor's office in trenton. joining me scott robb of esquire who broke the story, and brian murphy, an msnbc contributor and former managing editor at politics new jersey.com. scott, you reported in esquire the belt is tight enning on chris christie as the u.s. attorney for new jersey paul fishman assembles his case. these are the four people who could lead the federal prosecutor to chris christie according to your reporting. david sampson, former chairman of the port authority board of commissioners, appointed by christie. bill baroni, former director of the port authority. david wadstein, hired by baroni with a mandate to be chris christie's eyes and ears at that time port authority. and charles mcenna former c

>> well, it's overwhelming, you know, in the aftermath of the george zimmer battle with men's warehousen world what's going on. companies both founders are at war with their own companies and it's exactly 27%. they both own, they're both the largest owners of the companies to the same percentage. you sort of wonder what is it about these personality infused businesses? you can find it in media and entertainment as well but retail world, fashion world seems especially prone to what i've classified as people who think there is on earth one person indispense ibl, they know who that is and leave with the feet-first exit. >> both putting up a fight. lululemon for a moment, chip wilson, in talks apparently with goldman sachs, what do you think is his best option here? should he wage a proxy fight for more control over this board? >> no, you know, we've seen that after the bad results, the stock which already plunged by two-thirds since the start of the year, gone down another 15% in a blip this morning over energy, the old dead cow bounce if somebody's interested in seeing activity here, i wo

this comes after we saw zimmer buy biomed. so there's a consolidation that's begun.er target. analysts expect that to come back into the play. david? >> thanks very much. yeah, of course inversions continue of pace. >> a point you were making offair, with the tax inversions it's not about the tax rate you're going to pay. it's the ability to move cash internationally cash-free, that's the bigger issue. >> that's what medtronic is citing. of course citing a low tax rate here in the u.s. of 18% saying it not necessarily the tax arbitrage with the irish incorporation that will bring them a lower tax rate but a key in all of the deals the ability to freely move cash generating overseas back to the u.s. without having to pay taxes is a key consideration, one of the reasons we're seeing so many inversions. when one starts it forces a competitor in the same industry to consider the same thing otherwise they have an advantage in different areas it will be more difficult to compete. >> health care m&a is at a record. >> large part because of the inversions. >> talk more about

we saw zimmer and biomet get together earlier this year. j&j a couple years ago. result of pricing pressure in the industry. now hospitals trying to spend less money under the affordable care act and just overall pricing pressures throughout the industry. so, we may see more consolidation. now, interestingly, medtronic's stock, after being up today, ended up closing down about 1.1%. analyst josh jennings telling me some people were concerned maybe the deal wouldn't go through before congress aims to curb these tax aversion capabilities of companies. he thinks that concern is overblown, but there are some proposals being batted around in the white house and congress to curb this activity. we're hearing a lot of lawmakers may be trying to get this done before that happens. kelly? >> meg, such a controversial topic for now. >>> earlier this month on "kiloing bell," we spoke with the ceo with regard to mergers and acquisitions and here's what he told us. >> i don't want to comment on any speculation, but what i will say is our general strategy towards m&a is first aro

representing something, but how can you not see -- let's just say how can you not see that george zimmere thing. >> then also what's interesting, there's another poll i found interesting, that overall attitudes on race relations, i think we can pull this up, have obviously also changed. if you look at this in 1994 an nbc/"wall street journal" poll found less than half the country thought race relations in the u.s. were in fairly good, or good shape, now the numbers are far more optimistic. we've evolved as a society? >> we should evolve. as time goes by we should evolve. i hate this example, giving an extreme. look at the person in the white house as an african-american. i always say the most popular person in the country, the wealthiest person in television, as a personality is -- this. >> oprah. >> this african-american woman with some hips who everybody loves. she's not what we consider to be perfection. right? so i think the country is changing, and what we want to know more about people, not necessarily if they're black or white, or their hair color but who they are. that's why peop

we saw zimmer bought biomet earlier this year for $13 billion. the tax inversion we have been seeing pfizer trying to buy astrazeneca for $120 billion. but also earlier last year we have seen hospitals try to cut costs under the affordable care act. we are seeing a lot of pressures in the industry, a lot of people i'm talking to expect this to continue. so not just in medical devices but in drugmakers. >> bill george is coming on a little later. and the notes i was reading from him, he says this has much less to do about the tax rate. but it does have a lot to do with the hospitals and trying to be able to better negotiate. >> absolutely. >> they are trying to pay more than last year, but it's a $14 billion they got over there. but once again, i was furious reading "the new york times" again this weekend. i don't know if you saw the weekend review and the elite editorial was how not to use repatriated money for the highway bill. harry reid introduced it as a bipartisan idea. but just the stuff that the people say, you need to take them aside in t
