1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 2: At Dodger Stadium. 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 3: The ninth inning brings the last chance for the Dodgers tonight, 4 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 3: anyway to rescue a World Series that is all tied up. Sadly, 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 3: the game is not tied up. Toronto's six Dodgers won. 6 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 3: There is a man on first, and Mookie Bets is up, 7 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 3: and he is someone who is It's a face that 8 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 3: has rescued Dodger fans from the precipice of depression before 9 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 3: through the season, but tonight he's zero for three. Tonight. 10 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 3: The Toronto pitching is really put on a show. So 11 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 3: with Bets up and a man on first, you know 12 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 3: you can begin to eat away. But it'll have to 13 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 3: be a wide open comeback for the Dodgers to make 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 3: up that five run deficit, just to bring the game 15 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 3: to even so they're in the ninth will keep you 16 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 3: posted on that. We are in the middle of a 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 3: government shutdown if you missed it. I was talking to 18 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 3: somebody from the National Weather Service about a weather related issue, 19 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 3: Santa Anna wins which are diminishing tonight. But as he 20 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 3: was leaving, I said, hey, by the way, are you 21 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 3: being paid or are you you know what's happening to 22 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 3: the government shutdown? He said, I really am not allowed 23 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 3: to talk about that, but I appreciate you asking, and 24 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 3: so I took that to me and he's not being paid. 25 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 3: The last government shutdown. The longest government shutdown was the 26 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: twenty eighteen government shutdown during the first Trump administration, lasted 27 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 3: five weeks. Funding for the Trump border wall was at 28 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 3: the heart of that dispute. Trump wouldn't sign a federal 29 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 3: spending deal that did not include money for the border wall, 30 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 3: and a standalone bill with five point seven billion was 31 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 3: blocked by a filipbuster led by the Democrats. Trump eventually 32 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 3: back to short term federal funding measure to sort of 33 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 3: reopen the government. I mean they opened it in January, 34 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 3: late January a few weeks later, and then Congress approved 35 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 3: almost one point four billion dollars for fifty five miles 36 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: of border fencing between the US and Mexico. Well, the 37 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 3: current government shutdown is now the second longest in history. 38 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 3: So again Donald Trump with bragging rights for shutting down 39 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 3: the government longer than anybody else. This is the second 40 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 3: longest in history. The longest ever full government shutdown that 41 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 3: means Congress unable to strike a federal funding deal on 42 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 3: any appropriation's bills before the end of fiscal year twenty 43 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 3: twenty five. That was September thirtieth. Republicans control the House 44 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: and Senate. They offered a seven week extension of the 45 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: federal funding deal for fiscal year twenty twenty five spending 46 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 3: levels to give lawmakers more time to hash out next 47 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 3: year's numbers in a way to kind of sort of 48 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 3: kick the can down the way, and it passed the 49 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 3: House with support from one Democrat, but it has stalled 50 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 3: in the Senate twelve separate times. So Democrats are saying, hey, 51 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 3: any federal funding plan has to include an extension of 52 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: the COVID nineteen pandemic era Obama Care subsidies. They're set 53 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: to expire at the end of this year without congressional action. 54 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: And most. 55 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: Most of these Senate Democrats are, you know, holding the line. 56 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 3: There doesn't seem to be any break in that flank, 57 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: which is unusual. I mean, usually the Democrats find areas 58 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 3: of disagreement. They're really not as tight a unit as 59 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: the GOP, and the GOP they show those signs of 60 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 3: giving in. We'll see, but again, this is a full 61 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 3: government shutdown. And so I think one of the things 62 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 3: that I don't know, I just feel like this maybe 63 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 3: the thing that people notice most dramatically is happening at 64 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: the airports and travel. And so when Donald Trump talks 65 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: about jackhammering money out for the military, for example, I 66 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 3: think you're, you know, making a mistake. First of all, 67 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 3: you can't get enough money to pay the military. I 68 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 3: know that one guy came in that sort of angel. 69 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 3: He's a big Trump supporter, Thomas. I forget his last 70 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 3: name now with believe it was one hundred and thirty 71 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 3: million that he was providing. In any case, one hundred 72 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 3: and thirty million just I mean, it's seems like a 73 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 3: lot of money, but it doesn't. It doesn't begin to 74 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 3: pay the soldiers in the military. It was so that 75 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 3: it's like ninety dollars per trup. More to the point, though, 76 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: if you really wanted to stop the bleeding and avoid 77 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 3: what will be political blowback. 78 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: You want to take care of those air traffic controllers. 79 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,559 Speaker 3: That's where there is going to be a ripple effect, 80 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 3: especially going to the holidays. This is all bad already, 81 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 3: ten thousand flight delays as a result of a slowdown 82 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 3: and a lack of staffing with air traffic controllers. If 83 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 3: you really are serious about this, you need to take 84 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 3: care of them now. I think you got to pay everybody. 85 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 3: If you're an essential worker and you're compelled to work, 86 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 3: then the government's compelled to pay you. It's outrageous to 87 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 3: me that we consider these people essential workers but we 88 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 3: don't pay them. It's absolutely crazy. Meanwhile, Congress people are 89 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 3: getting checks. I mean, they're checks going to homelands, to 90 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 3: the ice agents. I mean, it's offensive. You're making that guy. 91 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 3: Generically men and women go to the air traffic control 92 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 3: towers and you're not giving them any money. 93 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: You're making them come in. 94 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 3: I mean, I understand they'll get back paid, but they're 95 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 3: gonna have to bump a credit. 96 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: Card, get a side hustle. It's offensive anyway. 97 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 3: Those people should all be paid. And add to that 98 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 3: SNAP funding, you know, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, it's 99 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 3: food stamps that goes away November first. SNAP has been 100 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 3: around sixty years. They've never had a lapse. This will 101 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 3: be the first time in sixty years because of this 102 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 3: government shutdown that there will be no money for SNAP. 103 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 3: And there have been some standalone bills to try to 104 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: do something to relieve this stress on the SNAP program, 105 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 3: but nothing, nothing really breaking through. President Trump's saying that 106 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 3: he's going to find a way to fund the SNAP program. 107 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 4: We'll see overnight President Trump vowing to find a solution 108 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 4: to help fund the federal nutrition program SNAP. More than 109 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 4: two dozen states and Washington d C. Have now sued 110 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 4: the administration after it said it could not legally extend 111 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 4: SNAP benefits during the shutdown. Lawmakers on both sides of 112 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 4: the aisle are scrambling to fund the program before it 113 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 4: lapses this weekend. 114 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, but they had a reserve fund, but they are 115 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 3: running out of money there even with the reserve fund 116 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 3: for SNAP. So that's your update on the government shutdown. Again, 117 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 3: doesn't appear to be any daylight. Both sides are dug 118 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 3: in pretty strongly, and we'll keep you posted. Dodgers drop 119 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 3: this game six to one. They lose to the Toronto 120 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,239 Speaker 3: Blue Jays at Dodger Stadium. They go back to Toronto. Toronto 121 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: now leads the series three to two. Of course, it's 122 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 3: best of seven, so if Toronto wins in Toronto, they 123 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 3: win the World Series. You may be wondering what are 124 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 3: the percentages when teams are ahead three to two that 125 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 3: they go on to win the World Series. I will 126 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 3: tell you sixty seven percent of the time the team 127 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: that's they had three to two wins. But that may 128 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 3: seem like a lot, but it's not necessarily an overwhelming percentage. 129 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 3: Dodgers are a very good team and they can go 130 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 3: back to Toronto and put on a show. But again 131 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 3: at Dodgers Stadium, the show was being put on by 132 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 3: the Blue Jays tonight and Blue Jays pitching, which all 133 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 3: but really shut down Dodgers pitching. It seems, six to 134 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 3: one shut down the Dodgers lineup. Toronto leads a series 135 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 3: three to two. As they go back to Toronto. 136 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 137 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 3: Mark Thompson sitting in on this Wednesday night. Dodgers a 138 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 3: rough one, just dominant pitching. You Savage with a record 139 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 3: twelve strikeouts. I think that was a record for a 140 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 3: rookie in a World Series game, so impressive, six to 141 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: one the final. Now Toronto leads that World Series three 142 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 3: to two. They'll go back on Friday Night is the 143 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 3: next game, and Dodgers have to get it done on 144 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 3: the road and they can. So all of you are 145 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 3: leaving Dodger Stadium downcast, angry, bummed. It was kind of 146 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 3: a slow death to night. I mean, Dodgers pitching just 147 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 3: being dominated, Dodgers hitting, I should say, being dominated by 148 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 3: Toronto pitching. And I still feel fundamentally the Dodgers have 149 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 3: this murderer's row of hitters and with a day's rest 150 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 3: and a road trip to Toronto, they could get right 151 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 3: back in it. I'd love to see a seventh game, 152 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 3: but they'll need to win Friday night for us to 153 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 3: see a seventh game again. The final six to one, 154 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 3: it was real domination by the Blue Jays tonight at 155 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 3: out your Stadium. The scandal racking the sports world hits 156 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 3: the NBA. It's the betting scandal. It involved both betting 157 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 3: on props, you know, propositions where you're betting over or 158 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 3: under how an athlete on the floor will perform, you know, 159 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 3: twenty points over or under. And there was a suggestion 160 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 3: that they're well, there's more than a suggestion. They've got 161 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 3: they're charging people on this, and the reality is it 162 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 3: might just be the beginning of what is a much 163 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: wider scandal when it comes to manipulating outcomes, not so 164 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 3: much of games, although that's being suggested as well, but 165 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 3: being part of a manipulation of the game within the game. 166 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 3: That is to say, on the props over under props 167 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 3: that alongside the scandal of the illegal poker games that 168 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 3: are fixed, they involved Chauncey Billups. It's also suggested maybe 169 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: their other high profile NBA personalities that brought people into 170 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 3: these games that are fixed. So the fish, regardless of 171 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 3: how good they are, they could be pros. Everybody becomes 172 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 3: a fish when the outcome of the game is manipulated. 173 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 3: What about these controversies and these illegalities that are racking 174 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 3: the NBA. It's an out and out betting scandal. Here's 175 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,719 Speaker 3: Colin Cowhard. 176 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 5: The gambling scandal heard around the NBA. I want to 177 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 5: remind people of this. You go back to the nineteen 178 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 5: ninety three NBA Finals Phoenix Suns, Michael Jordan and the Bulls. 179 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 5: Bulls won, and then Michael went to baseball after the 180 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 5: headline of that series wasn't mj against Barkley. Headline of 181 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 5: that series was Michael Jordan and gambling talk. And the 182 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 5: NBA survived in eighteen seventy six, the National League was 183 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 5: formed in baseball, do you know the first betting scandal 184 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 5: One year later, eighteen seventy seven, baseball's doing fine. You know, 185 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 5: people say it's the tip of the iceberg, and sometimes 186 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 5: the tip of the iceberg is an ice cube. I 187 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 5: think the NBA will survive. 188 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean I think the NBA survived too. 189 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 3: I don't think it's the end of the NBA, but 190 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 3: I think it could definitely affect the future of the 191 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 3: NBA in terms of the way you view the way 192 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 3: in which players on the floor are somehow compromised. Just 193 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 3: to put it that way, I think you can also 194 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 3: say that this might just be the beginning of and 195 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 3: this is the ironic part, and the NBA having embraced gambling. 196 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 3: I mean, in all the sports we've talked about gambling, 197 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 3: it was done in the shadows, it was done with 198 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 3: offshore betting, all this sort of thing. NBA said, let's 199 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 3: get it out there, let's actually embrace what is a 200 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 3: massive revenue source for the league. And you can bet 201 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 3: on an NBA game at an NBA game in a 202 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 3: lot of arenas, not in California because it's not illegal, 203 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 3: but if you go to Georgia, you go to I 204 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 3: think even Washington d C. If you go to Washington 205 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 3: d C. Bet against the Wizards would be my advice. Yeah, 206 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 3: if you're at the arena. But my point is simply 207 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 3: it's ironic that this league that was first to the 208 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 3: party when it comes to gambling and legalizing it around 209 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 3: their league, that they are racked by scandal. Now, the 210 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 3: other scandal that lurks around the NBA is associated with 211 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 3: NBA referees. And again, you know the referee that was 212 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 3: nailed said I wasn't the only one in on this. 213 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 2: Look. 214 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 3: There have been many documentaries about this. There's an HBO 215 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 3: did a series on this. I think it's worth a watch. 216 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 3: But similarly, you could look at this that we're seeing 217 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 3: as you know Roseier in this case, who is the 218 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 3: NBA player who was accused of manipulating the outcome, pulling 219 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,359 Speaker 3: himself out of the game early so that he wouldn't 220 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 3: hit the number. So when Better's bet on him going 221 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 3: over a certain number of points within the game, he 222 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 3: pulled himself out. He also seemed to be you know, 223 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 3: really off on his shots, turned the ball over a 224 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 3: bunch that he's not the only one, so the minute 225 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 3: that happens and these questions become a part of the conversation, 226 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 3: you end up with a league that begins to be 227 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 3: compromised so that there really have to be consequences for 228 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 3: these people associated with this. Otherwise, the league begins to 229 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 3: compromise itself just based on the fact that it's not 230 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 3: handling the situation and the controversy and the scandal in 231 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 3: the way it should. And I think that is what's happening. 232 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 3: I mean, it's really you know, I don't see how 233 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 3: Chauncey Billets meant. I don't understand the arithmetic. You're making 234 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 3: good money. What are you doing? I It's not worth it, man, 235 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 3: it's not worth it. You like to play poker, okay, great, 236 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 3: I like to play poker, and you say, yeah, but 237 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 3: I lose a lot in poker, and this helps me. 238 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 3: I lose a lot in poker. Are you kidding? I'm 239 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 3: a loser. I enjoy it. If somebody said to me, hey, 240 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 3: I got a way that we can kind of tell 241 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 3: you what the hands are and we can kind of 242 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 3: I get dude, you know what, that's not that now 243 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 3: I'm not having fun anymore. I mean, part of it 244 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 3: is trying to figure out what the hands are in 245 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 3: certain situations. 246 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 2: Really, that is the game of poker. 247 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 3: So anyway NBA continues to wrestle with this, will it, 248 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 3: you know, destroy the NBA reputation. No, but it could 249 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 3: it could hurt it, especially if this is just the 250 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 3: beginning and others may be in on a similar deal. 251 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 3: I mean, last thing I'll say is this isn't just 252 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 3: NBA players having sort of colluded on their own. There's 253 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 3: organized crime associated with this, you know, the cosen nostro. 254 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 3: Those are the words they used as those who are 255 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 3: party to all of this. So this is more than just. 256 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 3: And the Dodgers drop a tough one, six to one 257 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 3: tonight at Dodger Stadium. They'll need to win in Toronto 258 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 3: in order to win this World Series dominating pitching tonight 259 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 3: from the Blue Jays at Dodger Stadium a tough one. 260 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 3: We'll keep you posted on traffic if you're leaving Dodger Stadium. 261 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 3: It's a slow drive after a loss like this. 262 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: We know. Thank you for being with us tonight. 263 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 264 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 3: Mark Thompson's sitting in on this Wednesday night and Uh, 265 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 3: a rough night for the Dodgers, who dropped to the 266 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 3: Blue Jays six to one. The final at Dodger Stadium. 267 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 3: Such a tough one because the Dodgers just never really 268 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 3: got going. I mean, twelve strikeouts from the rookie pitcher 269 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 3: for Toronto shut down the Dodgers lineup pretty much. So 270 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 3: now it's back to Toronto and you'll have to win 271 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 3: Game six. You'll have to win Friday night. But as 272 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 3: I say, Dodgers can do it. That is a formidable 273 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 3: team and Dodger fans I wouldn't get too down. I 274 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 3: get it in a short series, anything can happen. But 275 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 3: the Dodgers are an amazing baseball team and they have 276 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 3: every bit of firepower to bring this series to Game 277 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 3: seven and to win this series. Speaking of firepower, did 278 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 3: you see this announcement from President Trump? I mean, this 279 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 3: is weird because he's on this diplomatic tour and he 280 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 3: is posting on social media that he wants to resume 281 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 3: nuclear testing for the first time in thirty three years. 282 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 3: I mean, this is minutes before he was scheduled to 283 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 3: meet President she from China. Trump said because of other 284 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 3: countries testing programs. He posted this on his social feed 285 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 3: because of other countries testing programs, I've instructed the Department 286 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 3: of War to start testing our nuclear weapons on an 287 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 3: equal basis. The process will begin immediately. I mean, China 288 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 3: is expanding its stockpile of nukes, but it hasn't tested 289 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,719 Speaker 3: a nuclear weapons since nineteen ninety six. I mean, this 290 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 3: is really where over this stuff, man, We're over this. 291 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 3: Russia hasn't conducted a confirmed test since nineteen ninety Now, 292 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 3: Putin said that Russia had successfully tested a nuclear powered 293 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 3: and nuclear capable cruise missile and then separately, a nuclear torpedo. 294 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 3: Putin made that announcement. The torpedo is supposed to travel, 295 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 3: you know, under the Pacific from Russia's east coast to 296 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 3: hit the America and west coast. But that saber rattling 297 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 3: that Putin is doing. After there was a plan for 298 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 3: a summit. Remember Trump and Putin were supposed to get 299 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 3: together for the second time, and that didn't happen. But 300 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 3: there were no nuclear weapons detonated. They were testing the 301 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 3: delivery vehicles, the torpedoes, and these cruise missiles, but they 302 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 3: didn't actually test any nuclear weapons. I mean, this is 303 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 3: really an escalation and a scary one at that. Because 304 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 3: of the tremendous destructive power. Donald Trump wrote, during his 305 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 3: first term in office, I didn't. 306 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 2: Test anything. He said. 307 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 3: He actually said, the United States has more nuclear weapons 308 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 3: than any other country. This is a direct quote. I'm 309 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 3: just reading from the social media. This was accomplished, including 310 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 3: a complete update and renovation of existing weapons, during my 311 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 3: first term in office because of the tremendous destructive power. 312 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 3: I hated in capital letters to do it, but had 313 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 3: no choice. Russia is second, and China is a distant third, 314 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 3: but will be even within five years because of other 315 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 3: countries testing programs. I've instructed the Department of War to 316 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 3: start testing our nuclear weapons on an equal basis. That 317 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 3: process will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to 318 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 3: this matter. And in capital letters, President Donald J. Trump, Again, 319 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 3: that would represent a departure from what is an understood 320 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 3: agreement that even though there's an expansion of nuclear stockpiles, 321 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 3: there hasn't been a weapons test that actually involved detonating 322 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 3: a nuclear weapon since the nineties China in nineteen ninety 323 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 3: six and Russia in nineteen ninety. So again, when you 324 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 3: see or hear that they're testing a torpedo they're testing 325 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 3: a nuclear capable cruise missile. They're testing the delivery system. 326 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 3: But Trump may be upping the addy on that. The 327 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 3: government shutdown is coming for your airport. VIP security lane 328 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 3: Delta one customers at JFK and LAX are inactive in 329 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 3: that security line. They have to jump on with everybody else. 330 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 3: Those are exclusive screening lanes for Delta one. There've been 331 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 3: staffing shortages at air traffic control facilities, thousands of flight delays. 332 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 3: As you know, America and the United Airlines they say 333 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 3: there's been no impact on their concierge services. This is 334 00:21:54,400 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 3: for you higher end travelers. An AI tool is being 335 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 3: used increasingly to figure out where there are delays. But 336 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 3: what's happening is first class passengers are flying out of 337 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 3: New York and LA and all of a sudden they're 338 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 3: getting treatment not like they're in first class, but like 339 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 3: they're in coach. This is all because of the government shutdown. 340 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 3: So all the screening lanes associated with first class travel 341 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 3: Delta one. These lanes allow passengers who you know, buy 342 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 3: expensive tickets to bypass that long line. Now they'll wait 343 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 3: with everybody else. These tickets are like four thousand dollars apiece. 344 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 3: You can fly from JFK to Paris. The Delta one 345 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 3: service is four k And now you know you're online 346 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 3: with everybody else. As I told you before, if I'm 347 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 3: the US government, I make sure that I don't force 348 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 3: anybody to work who's not also going to get paid 349 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 3: to me. It's just it's an abomination. You can declare 350 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 3: people essential workers, make them show up as TSA agents, 351 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 3: and you don't pay them. What kind of crap is that? 352 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 3: Same is true of those people who are working the 353 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 3: National Weather surface. Same is true of those people that 354 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 3: are working in the control power tower at Burbank or 355 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 3: lax or anywhere else. If you're going to compel them 356 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 3: to work, then you are compelled to pay them. So 357 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 3: the mess that is rippling through the aviation system in 358 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 3: America will only get worse. 359 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 2: In all of this. 360 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 3: Look, I'm leaving out the fact that SNAP runs out. 361 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 3: The food stamp program runs out of money November first, 362 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 3: but that's the latest there, regardless, First class coach, we're 363 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 3: all in the same boat. Now, how the FED cut 364 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 3: rate will affect your finances. The rate was lowered by 365 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 3: twenty five basis points. Today it will have a ripple 366 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 3: effect of its own on borrowing and savings rates that 367 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 3: consumers see every day. Will get into some of that 368 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 3: as we continue again. Dodgers drop a heartbreaker after that 369 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 3: eighteen inning marathon win, two back to back losses to Toronto, 370 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 3: this one a dominating performance by a rookie pitcher. Twelve 371 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 3: strikeouts tonight, six to one the final. Mark Thompson sitting 372 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 3: in here on KFI AM six forty, glad you could 373 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 3: be with us. Sorry about the Dodgers. It's a slow 374 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 3: drive out of Dodgers Stadium after a loss like this. 375 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 3: It's really a heartbreaker, but we appreciate you being with 376 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 3: us here tonight. 377 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 378 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 3: Mark Thompson on the Wednesday night. A slow drive out 379 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 3: of Dodgers Stadium. Brutal heartbreak, the dominating pitching performance from 380 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 3: a rookie pitcher, twelve strikeouts tonight, Dodgers drop at six 381 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 3: to one on to Toronto. Will get it done there, 382 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 3: Doctor Phil say it ain't so sweet, Doctor Phil. Taking 383 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 3: time out of riding shotgun with ice agents arresting those 384 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 3: who have overstayed their visas to show up in court 385 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 3: where a Northern Texas judge ruled that doctor Phil McGraw's 386 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 3: media company, Merritt Street Media, is going to have to 387 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 3: undergo a Chapter seven liquidation. I'll remind you if you've 388 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 3: lost track of your bankruptcy chapters. Chapter eleven is reorganization, 389 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 3: chapter seven is liquidation. They're both ations, but Chapter seven 390 00:25:54,920 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 3: is a worseation than Chapter eleven. Chapter seven liquid means 391 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 3: that Phil McGraw's company is going away. But this isn't 392 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 3: just a liquidation because of financial problems. There are serious 393 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 3: allegations yet another ation about doctor Phil's legitimacy in paying 394 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 3: back those he owed money to. The US Bankruptcy Judge 395 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 3: Scott Everett ruled that this is all because the Chapter 396 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 3: seven liquidation forced the end of this media empire that 397 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 3: doctor Phil was building. It's because there is suspicion about 398 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 3: doctor Phil McGraw's improper filing for bankruptcy following incriminating text messages. 399 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 3: These text messages suggest that, and this is again all 400 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 3: in court documents, that doctor Phil was making what they 401 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 3: were calling gangster moves, trying to avoid paying certain creditors 402 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 3: through the Chapter eleven route. So you're taking care of, 403 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 3: if you will, certain people or entities you owe money to, 404 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 3: and others that you owe money to who should be paid. 405 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 3: Sometimes in these situations they're paid ahead of others. It's 406 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 3: actually specified as to where they are in the pecking 407 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 3: order being paid. Doctor Field ignored that is what's being 408 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 3: alleged and took care of some people denying payout to others. 409 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 3: This was a real huge network that was backed by 410 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 3: big money. The Christian group Trinity Broadcasting had seventy percent 411 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 3: of this Merritt Street Media. They launched it in twenty 412 00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 3: twenty three. Thirty percent was owned by McGraw's production company. 413 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 3: And it is suggested again by this judge, the US 414 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 3: bankruptcy judge, that McGraw, Phil McGraw, good old doctor Phil, 415 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 3: intended to pay his own company while opting out of 416 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 3: paying unfavored creditors like Trinity. He also was in business 417 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 3: with and had gotten a lot of money from a 418 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 3: professional bull riding network and sports group. So you've got 419 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 3: the Trinity Broadcasters. Those are the Christian broadcasters and the 420 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 3: sports group the professional bull riders who are also in 421 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 3: for a little bit. But McGraw was running an end 422 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 3: around all of them. So the idea was he's paying 423 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 3: his own company while denying his partners the monies that 424 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 3: they are entitled to. And again these are in private messages, 425 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 3: and again this all came out in court. McGraw described 426 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 3: a gangster move to make Trinity a passive minority investor 427 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 3: through a Chapter eleven bankruptcy McGraw planned on. This is 428 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 3: again these are quotes from the court records, taking the 429 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 3: money and running instead of following through on his end 430 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 3: of the bargain. This is a ten year agreement originally 431 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 3: worth five hundred million dollars, so we're talking about a 432 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 3: lot of money here. Trinity would offer production and distribution 433 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 3: services while Doctor Phil's company would produce new content one 434 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 3: hundred and sixty episodes of the talk show. But they 435 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 3: didn't get viewership numbers that were sufficient, and Trinity wasn't 436 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 3: able to get the advertising revenues and product integrations that 437 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 3: were promised because the viewership numbers weren't there. So the 438 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 3: network sued Trinity saying it was a breach of contract, 439 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 3: essentially saying, you know, you're the controlling shareholder. And in 440 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 3: this litigation, Trinity counter sued Doctor Phil and the Professional 441 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 3: bull Riders. They're the third parties to all this, they 442 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 3: filed an emergency motion wanting to seek documents to determine 443 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 3: whether doctor Phil was operating in good faith when he 444 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 3: filed the bankruptcy. In other words, did this, dude, doctor Phil, 445 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 3: just file the bankruptcy because you want to get out 446 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 3: of paying these creditors and partners that he owed money 447 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 3: to or was it legitimate? 448 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 2: So without getting any. 449 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 3: More into the weeds, because I know we're already way 450 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 3: into the weeds, doctor Phil. And the bankruptcy judge agrees 451 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 3: with these people who are suing doctor Phil. Doctor Phil 452 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 3: is accused, and it's alleged that he was pulling some 453 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 3: gangs to stuff to again change the legal obligation he 454 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 3: had to pay his partners. Of course, this will come 455 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 3: as no surprise to you. He denies this, and he's 456 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 3: denying any wrongdoing and he says, I'm doing everything I 457 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 3: can to keep my company up and running. This theory 458 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 3: that this was all a ploy to set them up 459 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 3: is absurd, and the judge indicated quote McGraw believed he 460 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 3: was calling the shots candor to the court is critical. 461 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 3: The judge is not crazy for doctor Phil. And the 462 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 3: way this whole thing has gone down and now Because 463 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 3: of these deleted texts, which seem to expose doctor Phil 464 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 3: as maybe not being completely on the level, Doctor Phil's 465 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 3: media company appears to be closing up. 466 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 2: That's the latest on Doctor Phil. 467 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 3: I know it's tough to hear when your favorite therapist 468 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 3: is not what you thought he was. 469 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 2: The judge has to say it to him, and you 470 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about. How's that working out for 471 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 2: working out for you? 472 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 3: I didn't see it anywhere, but maybe it's hidden in 473 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 3: there somewhere.
