00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty.

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Jetty and now he Armstrong and Yetti.

5
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 2: For the first time.

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 4: The US launching a deadly air strike on a suspected

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 4: drug boat in the Eastern Pacific Ocean off Central America,

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 4: a major expansion of President Trump's war on the cartels.

9
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 4: Secretary Pete Hegseth saying the vessel was involved in illicit

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 4: narcotics smuggling as part of a designated terrorist organization, but

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 4: did not provide evidence. He added that two people were

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 4: killed this newest strike, targeting the Eastern Pacific. It's where

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 4: roughly seventy percent of all the cocaine that enters the

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 4: US is smuggled.

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: That's interesting. That was a fact from ABC News. That's

16
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: seventy percent of the drugs entering the United States coming

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: from that little area there.

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: That's a lot of it.

19
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't have strong opinions on this particular topic this show,

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: for better or worse, or at least for me, for

21
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: better or worse, I only get worked up about certain things.

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,279
Speaker 1: I don't get worked up about every story that comes along.

23
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: And this isn't what I'm getting worked up about. But

24
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: some of my actual conservative or libertarian friends are very

25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: concerned about this. Yeah, I get that. I get it too,

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: Just you know, you can only get for me anyway.

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: I can only really emotionally get involved in so many

28
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: different stories. Here's Trump explaining blasting people, perhaps fishermen, perhaps

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: drug dealers.

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: Who knows out of the water.

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 5: When you look at the people we're dealing with, and

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 5: we know them, we know the people coming in, we

33
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 5: know the boats, we know everything else.

34
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: We're allowed to do it. It's in international waters.

35
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 5: If we don't do it, we're going to lose hundreds

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 5: of thousands of people.

37
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: I gotta believe that for real.

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: Even with all the jokes we've been making about fishermen,

39
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to get into a boat and go

40
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: out fishing in that area, would you.

41
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 6: Well, I would not do it in a super powered

42
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 6: what do they call them cigarette boat? Those those super

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 6: high powered speed boats. I'd make mine look good and

44
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 6: fishing y.

45
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: You know, got a bunch of poles sticking out, got

46
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: the cabin door, fentanyls worms.

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: Right, and then you know, give the give the boat

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 2: a name.

49
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 6: Like the Heidi Ho three or something like that, an innocent,

50
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 6: fun loving name, because all these boats look the same.

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 6: They're super high powered speed boats. They do boats zooming

52
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 6: across the Caribbean or in this case, and the news

53
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 6: was making a big the.

54
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: Trump's controsio practices have now expanded to the Eastern Pacific.

55
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think the name of the body

56
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: on the wall of water on the app is really

57
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: that significant a wrinkle, right, it's how sure we are

58
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: who this is? And you know what's the process for determining?

59
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 3: Right?

60
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: Well? Yeah, in short, drug routes from South and Central

61
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: America to the US. Some are going to be on

62
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: that side of the Panama it is Smiths, some are

63
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: going to be on the other, all right, David Muha,

64
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: calm down. Excellent use of the word isthmus, thank you,

65
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: which doesn't.

66
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: Make it under the show enough. So Marco Rubio is

67
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 2: what it is? Mus.

68
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, was there in the Oval

69
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: Office and was asked about this and stood up for

70
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: our current policy.

71
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 7: Well, I mean the question is, bottom line, these are

72
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 7: drug voats. If people want to stop seeing drug voats

73
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 7: blow up, stop sending drugs to the United.

74
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: States, doesn't matter in the United States.

75
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 7: Well, these are all in international waters.

76
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: The voat you is strike in the United States or.

77
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 7: Well, that's a different man. Now you're talking about law

78
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 7: enforcement matter. In this particular case, there are people traveling

79
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 7: on international waters headed towards the United States with how

80
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 7: hostilities in mind, which includes flooding our country with dangerous,

81
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 7: deadly drugs, and they're going to be stopped. And that's

82
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 7: what's happening. And yeah, in the case last week you

83
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 7: saw there was a submarine. It was a submarine. It

84
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 7: was a submersible. That's a drug boat. All the way through.

85
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 7: We know what these boats are, the President just said it.

86
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: We tracked them from the very beginning.

87
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 7: We know who's on them, who they are, where they're

88
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 7: coming from, what they have on them. And you know,

89
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 7: if you're running drug boats, you're in you're in grave danger.

90
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: I hope that's true. I hope we know who's on them,

91
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: we know them they're drug boats. I hope it's as

92
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: thorough as they're presenting.

93
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you don't wanna get blown up, don't don't

94
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: drive a drug boat through that area.

95
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: That's his advice.

96
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: So we're following a big breaking news story today with

97
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: the NBA season starting what two days ago, thirty one

98
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: people arrested, including a head coach and current player, at

99
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: least one in a gambling scandal. So the FBI is

100
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: going to have a big press conference today and we'll

101
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: find out more about what was going on there. But

102
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: like Joe said, this could be one of the biggest

103
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: sports gamblings stories ever.

104
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 6: Oh, it absolutely could be. Yeah, yeah, now you're working

105
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 6: that desk. I'm not really following it. But have they

106
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 6: even leaked? Is that the end of the list of

107
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 6: players and coaches or are among the thirty one arrested?

108
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 6: Are there more NBA figures? Are they all just mobsters

109
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 6: and gambler?

110
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: I don't know.

111
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: My guess would be that those are the two big

112
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 1: names and the rest of the movie people.

113
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: You never heard of a coach and a player, but

114
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 2: an actual.

115
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: Head coach arrested though in one of the major sports leagues. Wow, yeah, crazy, crazy,

116
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: Wonder what he was doing. Uh, you know, I could

117
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: do the dinosaurs now if you want. I just came

118
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: across so they don't bounce.

119
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 6: No, No, I tell you what though, if I'm an

120
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 6: NBA GM and I've got some like some guy paid

121
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 6: a zillion dollars to a few years ago and he's

122
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 6: gotten fat and lazy and ineffective. Man, I'm planting evidence.

123
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 6: I'm planting evidence in that guy's locker or something to

124
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 6: get him out of there. That's a funny idea.

125
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

126
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, Plus, you can't make me pay the guy's salary

127
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 6: if he's a damn gambler.

128
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: I won't have it. Shocked shocked, I say.

129
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: Anyway, all right, here it is guys, this is just

130
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: for you, and I tell you what and women.

131
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 2: If you are.

132
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 6: Among the people who think, oh my god, that's so cool,

133
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 6: well then you get an honorary guy card and welcome

134
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 6: to the club.

135
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 2: All right, here's the story.

136
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 6: In New Jersey, for fourteen years, you have one of

137
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 6: these quasi educational, quasi entertainment stop your car with the

138
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 6: kids places called field Station Dinosaurs which among their their

139
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 6: their attractions, or a bunch of big giant animatronic dinosaurs.

140
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: I've stopped it.

141
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: Well, I've stopped that with my kids or my parents

142
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,679
Speaker 1: stopped that. These sorts of things, oh many many times

143
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: in my life.

144
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there's one in Arizona.

145
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,559
Speaker 6: We used to stop with stop at with the kids

146
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 6: whenever we'd go see my mom and dad for years.

147
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: Oh it was so good. I enjoyed it as much

148
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: as they did. But so anyway, this field.

149
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 6: Station dinosaurs shut down in November, and some employee said, hey,

150
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 6: I bet we could sell these dinosaurs just to you know,

151
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 6: cover some of the costs and stuff like that. And

152
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 6: so the general manager said, yeah, okay, I suppose we

153
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 6: could try it, and they put it online, but like

154
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 6: put absurdly low prices, like the t Rex, which is

155
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,119
Speaker 6: thirty nine feet tall, was priced at twenty seven hundred

156
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 6: dollars that, oh yeah, please put it. And this guy

157
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 6: who's got a rural home in Connecticut sits along a

158
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 6: busy road farms and farm stands, and he thought, wow,

159
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 6: that'd be great.

160
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to put that on my land.

161
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 6: He says, quote. My wife thought it was absolutely the

162
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 6: worst idea in the world. But once word got out,

163
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 6: it's gone viral and now they're getting all sorts of

164
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 6: crazy offers. Although, as the GM says, everybody wants the

165
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 6: t Rex or the triceratops. Although one guy bought a

166
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 6: six foot velociraptor because he thought, yeah, it's six and

167
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 6: a half feet. He thinks, yeah, I could fit that

168
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 6: on a flatbed truck. Quote, anything larger would be a

169
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 6: logistical nightmare. Yeah, get involving hiring a private ship. Or

170
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 6: that's just too much effort, he said, too much effort

171
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 6: for a gigantic t rex on your lawn.

172
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: You're out of the bidding.

173
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: You don't deserve that t rex, sir.

174
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, the velociraptor I could put in the living room.

175
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: That'd be cool.

176
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: I'll have it, thirty nine foot tall, t rep four stories.

177
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 2: I don't know what. I don't know what rules might

178
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,599
Speaker 2: be in your neighborhood that allow you to have that

179
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 2: or not. I don't know. I gotta check with my hoa.

180
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: I live in one of those places.

181
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Triceratops is really attractive, although the stegosaurus

182
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: also very attractive. Here's one guy I wanted to buy.

183
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 1: The Stegosaurus's thirty feet long. It's only twelve hundred and

184
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: sixty bucks.

185
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 6: Wow, man, if I had land, I would, seriously I would.

186
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 6: I couldn't, but again, I couldn't tell my wife. It

187
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 6: would just have to show up one day, honey, there's

188
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 6: a truck outside. Oh really, that's weird.

189
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: What's with the t rex? What t rex? Yeah?

190
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: Oh, I was gonna mention that, Yeah, I bought a

191
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: forty foot tall t Rex.

192
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 6: You remember the other night when I stayed up a

193
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 6: little late drinking Scotch and watching concert videos. Well, anyway,

194
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 6: oh boy, so we can put.

195
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 2: A link to this.

196
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure are there any for sale now, I'm

197
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: not sure if they're all sold out, but oh forty

198
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: foot dinosaur.

199
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: Please.

200
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: So there was a second, I believe in last debate

201
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: last night for the New York mayoral race, which in

202
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: general I don't care about New York's local politics, but

203
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: you got a communist running against a crook.

204
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, this is a serious, like medical checkup for

205
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 6: the American people, and.

206
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: It got pretty hilarious, got pretty firely fire ree last night.

207
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: We've got the highlights of that debate, among other things

208
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 1: on the way.

209
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: Stay here.

210
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 8: But as you now know, individuals such as Chauncey Billups,

211
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 8: Damon Jones, and Terry Rozier were taking into custody today

212
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 8: former current NBA players and coaches. What you don't know

213
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 8: is that this is an illegal gambling operation and sports

214
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 8: rigging operation that spanned the course of years, the FBI

215
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 8: led a coordinative takedown across eleven states to arrest over

216
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 8: thirty individuals today responsible for this case, which is very

217
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 8: much ongoing. Not only did we crack into the fraud

218
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 8: that these perpetrators committed on the grand stage of the NBA,

219
00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 8: but we also entered and executed a system of justice

220
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 8: against La Casinoshra to include the Banano, Gambino, Genevesi, and

221
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 8: lu Chase crime families.

222
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

223
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: So this includes some of the biggest crime families in

224
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: American history. That's Cash Pattel, FBI director, just moments ago

225
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: with his press conference as thirty one people have been

226
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: arrested involving an NBA gambling and he said they're fixing scandal.

227
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 2: Didn't he did? He use the word fixing.

228
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't recall something that the game that involved games though, rigging.

229
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: He used the word rigging, sports, rigging, fair So yeah,

230
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: story so uh, Because I had been reading the New

231
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: York Times version of it and this is all just

232
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: coming out and it sounded like a lot of poker

233
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: and gambling, and I thought, Okay, is this not going

234
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: to be as big a deal? But no rigging poker

235
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: games Okay, rigging poker games is different than rigging NBA games.

236
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: You got to figure out why are we rigging poker

237
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: or rigging NBA games here? Those are different things. Anyway,

238
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: here's more from Cash Betel.

239
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 8: The charges and the arrests that were taken down across

240
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 8: this country range from wire fraud, money laundering, extortion, robbery,

241
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 8: illegal gambling, and the fraud is mind boggling. It's not

242
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 8: hundreds of dollars, it's not thousands of dollars. It's not

243
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 8: tens of thousands of dollars. It's not even millions of dollars.

244
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 8: We're talking about tens of millions of dollars in fraud

245
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 8: and theft and robbery across a multi year investigation.

246
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: Okay, so wait a second, you told me sure enough.

247
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: Is this a deal where cause you know, Michael Jordan,

248
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: famous like big time gambler, Charles Barkley, famous big time

249
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: gambler like have gambling problems, They spend crazy amounts of money.

250
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: Is this just about some.

251
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: Sort of illegal poker games that they were rigging that

252
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: happened to be sports players and doesn't really have anything

253
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: to do with NBA games.

254
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 6: They happen to be rich guys who were somehow involved.

255
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: But the excuse me, the wording is very vague. Is

256
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: that on purpose to make this seem like it's attached

257
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: to the NBA so far, and it seems to me

258
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,479
Speaker 1: like the only attachment is you got rich NBA players

259
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: involved in some illegal gambling.

260
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: But that's not got anything to do with the league.

261
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 6: Let's see the case, which involves at least two criminal

262
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 6: schemes according to people with knowledge of the matter. Uh,

263
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 6: some people participated in both schemes. According to a person

264
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 6: with knowledge of the matter, one involved illegal poker games

265
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 6: that were set up by organized crime families and also

266
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 6: involved at least one NBA coach and former player in

267
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 6: the league. According to three law enforcement officials, the case

268
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 6: is expected to involve more than two dozen people.

269
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: I think, what's the other aspect of it? Well, let

270
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: me what's the one. Let me say this and then

271
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: you can tell me if I'm right or not.

272
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: Cash Ptel has got a reputation of a bit of

273
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: a like, likes to get headlines and uh, you know,

274
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: put on a bit of a show, get a lot

275
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: of attention. Is he purposely saying rigged games to confuse people?

276
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: When this is about poker games and not about NBA games.

277
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm getting live updates. The indictments charged two different schemes.

278
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 6: One a sports betting conspiracy that exploited confidential information.

279
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go, and the other the nationwide scheme

280
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: to rig poker games.

281
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: Okay.

282
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: The poker games thing is kind of interesting, but not

283
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: a whatever. But if it, you know, you get into

284
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: the actual sports that people bet on by the billions

285
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: of dollars, and some of them were fixed this way

286
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: or that.

287
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: That's that's a major that's a major.

288
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: Story, right, yeah, yeah, it's both.

289
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: Wow. Huh.

290
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: And how about those you know, if you're into mafia's stories,

291
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: you know those names. Those are the big Mafia families.

292
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: I didn't think they were up to much these days,

293
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: although rigging games.

294
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: Allegedly, huh. This is exciting.

295
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: But I see my brother from the Old Country sitting

296
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: in the gallery. So I'll not be testifying on the show. Sorry,

297
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: I got nothing to say.

298
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: You have to be a fan of the Godfather to

299
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: enjoy that. What was I gonna say? It's gonna say

300
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: something if you're not watch it again.

301
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: The NBA and the gambling and I don't know I

302
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: had some point to make about that.

303
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: Well, there will be time. There will be time.

304
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: The head coach is done.

305
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: The head coach is done as a coach. Ye, yeah,

306
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: of course he is. Yeah.

307
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: Sorry Portland, you got junkies on the streets and crooks

308
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: running your basketball team.

309
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: It's a shame.

310
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 3: Anyway.

311
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 6: A couple of things I'm excited to talk about. A

312
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 6: think tank, a good one has re ranked universities and

313
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 6: colleges and ranked them on free speech, the school's approach

314
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 6: to politics on campus, how well students do after graduation,

315
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 6: whether they've exhibited some sort of pluralism among faculty. In short,

316
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 6: do they behave like a university supposed to behave or

317
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 6: do they behave like an indoctrination factory for progressive thought?

318
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 6: And the top ten are out at least, and it's

319
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 6: not the usual suspects. If you want your kid or

320
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 6: you're just concerned about this in general, but if you

321
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 6: want your kid to go to university where they'll actually

322
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 6: be challenged and learn, got the list for you coming up.

323
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: Cool, And then we're going to get the highlights of

324
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: the debate last night between the communists and the crook

325
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: So that's fun. They got a little spicy. So I'm

326
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: looking at CNN. Their headline up there is historic arrest.

327
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: This is in quotes, historic arrest over years of sports rigging.

328
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: Okay, you got to be more specific about the sports rigging.

329
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: Are you talk about the sport of gambling or the

330
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: sport of national the basketball in the National Basketball Association?

331
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not clear to me where the one ends

332
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 6: and the other one starts. There being fudgie on this

333
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 6: and purpose because it's more exciting if it's NBA games

334
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 6: than if it's we're talking about CNN. Right, yeah, right,

335
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 6: Well but did did Cash Pttel make it a little

336
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 6: fudgy on purpose to make it more exciting?

337
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

338
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: Make it clear to us, please Armstrong and Getty. First

339
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: of all, we're trying to wrap our heads around exactly

340
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: what's happening with this giant NBA gambling scandal. Is it

341
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: mostly poker games? That's what all the headlines seem to be,

342
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: and that's the main thing they're talking about in the

343
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: press conference. There's these rigged poker games spanning eleven states,

344
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 1: and all the crime families and NBA players, coaches and

345
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: people that are involved in them. They're not talk giving

346
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: any details on anything about games as of yet, NBA

347
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: games just poker games, So I don't know.

348
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 2: What's going on there. I guess we'll find out when

349
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 2: we find out.

350
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: New York Times is definitely talking about game scandals, a

351
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: game fixing scandals too, but they didn't They certainly didn't

352
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: lead with that, and they haven't given any details whatsoever.

353
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: And if that were the bulk of us, you would

354
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: lead with that. We have evidence that in an NBA

355
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: game they shaved points or pulled a player or whatever,

356
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: and they got it's all. It's been going on for

357
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: a half an hour now, and it's like ninety nine percent.

358
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: It's Operation Royal Flush, which is the name of the sting,

359
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: which would lead you to believe it's mostly poker. It's

360
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: not Operation you know, missed that free throw on purpose.

361
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: It's Operation Royal Flush. So I don't know.

362
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,239
Speaker 2: We'll see thirty one people arrested though, that's something uh.

363
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 6: The attorney for the Eastern District in New York said

364
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 6: that the sports betting scheme involved hundreds of thousands of

365
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 6: dollars in fraudulent bets involving network of proxies or straw betters.

366
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 6: Most of the allegedly fraudulent bets were successful. Okay, well

367
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 6: we'll update updates come, but that's hundreds of thousands of dollars.

368
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 6: They're talking about tens of millions of day total, so

369
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 6: we'll see.

370
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

371
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 3: Uh.

372
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: You know, when people regularly decide to cross that line

373
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: historically in terms of cheating in sports, that's when they've

374
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: gotten themselves into gambling debt. They've gotten themselves into a

375
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: real problem. It's what you throw a fight or whatever.

376
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: It's because you got your gambling on other things and

377
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: you got yourself in such a bad situation that you

378
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: cross that line and willing to do so. Well, the

379
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: mobsters come to you and say, you're never going to

380
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: pay us off.

381
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 2: So here's an idea how you can get square, and

382
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: you have to take it. It's an offer you can't refuse.

383
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: Look, butch I need you to go down in the

384
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: third That sting you feel is pride. You got to

385
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: fight that s right. That's from pulp fiction, second classic

386
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: movie reference of the hour. So they had another debate

387
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: last night in New York with the communist, the crook,

388
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: and then that other dude, which you'll hear from all

389
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: three of them.

390
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: And these are some of the highlights from the debate.

391
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 5: My opponents, who spend more time trying to convince the

392
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 5: other to drop out than actually proposing their own policies,

393
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 5: will speak only of the past because that's all that

394
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 5: they know. I am the sole candidate running with a

395
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 5: vision for the future of this city.

396
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 3: Zoron is a great actor. He missed his calling.

397
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 9: Since I left, homeless rate is more than double. When

398
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 9: I left, the vacancy rate on housing was four point

399
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 9: five percent.

400
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: It's now one percent.

401
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 9: This man never even proposed the bill.

402
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: Andrew, you didn't leave. You fled from being impeached.

403
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: By the Democrats of the state legislature.

404
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 4: You fled.

405
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 2: So that's funny.

406
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: Say that's Curtis sleewa guy who we met at a

407
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: couple of different things anyway, But he runs for mayor

408
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: every single election and and gets on the stage and

409
00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: everything like that.

410
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 2: He hates Andrew Cuomo so much in.

411
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: The Cuomo family because he's been in politics in New

412
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: York City and state for his whole life. He hates

413
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: the Cuomo family so much. He spends all his time

414
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: trying to take down the guy who ain't gonna win

415
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: instead of the guy that's gonna win the communists.

416
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 6: But that is he'll let the communist win if he

417
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 6: can damage Cuomo. And and Curtis Lee was defense. He

418
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 6: was a hero in New York for a long time.

419
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 6: Got shot the mob Hello tried to murder him, shot

420
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 6: him micing five times or something like that in a cab.

421
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 6: And he doesn't appreciate the mobbed up Cuomo allegedly according

422
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 6: to some sort But it's pretty funny Cuomo saying when

423
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 6: I left, we had whatever percentage of you left. He

424
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 6: had to resign because you're about to be put in prison.

425
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 2: That is a pretty funny thing to say. That's hair

426
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 2: a little more.

427
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 5: I will be the mayor who doesn't just protect Jewish

428
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 5: New Yorkers but also celebrates and cherishes them.

429
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: Not everything is a TikTok video. You're the savior of

430
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 3: the Jewish people.

431
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 9: You won't denounce globalize they which means killed jus. You

432
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 9: have never had a job, You've never accomplished anything.

433
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 3: There's no reason to believe you have any merit or qualification.

434
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 3: For eight and a half.

435
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: Million lives, that's a good shot.

436
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: It's tell your damn COMI.

437
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: It's tough though hearing it from a crook, a corrupt

438
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: womanizing woman secretary, touching, lying, shredding documents.

439
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 2: I mean, he's just an awful human being.

440
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, it's the pot calling the kettle black.

441
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 6: It's it's it's terrible, terrible. What is the matter with

442
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 6: our political system? No, can we keep belching up horrible

443
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 6: candidates like this?

444
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 2: It is amazing. A little more.

445
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 3: Trees the rent sounds great.

446
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, it effectual about twenty five percent of the number

447
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 9: of housing units in the City of New York.

448
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 3: It's not a new idea.

449
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 9: If the mayor doesn't have the power to do it anyway,

450
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 9: the Rent Guidelines Board does, and he doesn't control the

451
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 9: rent guide so nothing is going to happen.

452
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 3: It's all this.

453
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 9: It's just more political blatherer.

454
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: I've heard the both of them again, fighting like kids

455
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: in the schoolyard or on your resume could fit on

456
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: a cocktail napkin. And Andrew, your failures could fill a

457
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: public school library in New York City. We've been saying

458
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: this for years. You got to get rid of crowds

459
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: and debates. Just what are we doing?

460
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

461
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 3: What?

462
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 2: Entertainment? It's entertainment. It's a TV show. Okay, so you know.

463
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: Communists, what what do you got? This is what kind

464
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: of related the communist is going to win? He's still

465
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: going to win? Zor run MONI donie all right.

466
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 6: I came across this email from Charles C. W. Cook

467
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 6: at the National Review, entitled apparently we still need to

468
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 6: explain why communism is wrong and and this is actually

469
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 6: I think it's a plea to subscribe or something like that.

470
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: But it's very good. I love this.

471
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 6: I don't think I've heard this before. Charles writes, I

472
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 6: have long agreed with TS. Eliot that quote there is

473
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 6: no such thing as a lost cause, because there is

474
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 6: no such thing as a gained cause, the point being

475
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 6: because human nature does not fundamentally change over time, it's

476
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 6: incumbent upon every generation to learn anew the eternal lessons,

477
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 6: because it'll.

478
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 2: Go away, The good stuff will go aways.

479
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 6: Reagan put it famously, no more than in a generation

480
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 6: or two away from losing our liberty. We've got to

481
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 6: teach our children how precious it is. And he says

482
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 6: he's long believed that. But still, he writes, I must

483
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 6: confess to having been a little shocked of late by

484
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 6: how many topics remain open for debate. I had not,

485
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 6: for example, expected to see the flourishing of anti Semitism

486
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 6: to stain the United States, Britain and beyond since the

487
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 6: attack of October seventh. I did not consider it likely

488
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 6: that New York City would consider electing a Communist as

489
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 6: its mayor. And I had not anticipated that the sensible

490
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 6: and effective reforms that were ushered in by President Reagan

491
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 6: and Prime Minister Thatcher would be at risk of being replaced.

492
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: Quite this soon.

493
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 6: I had, not, in other words, expected these battles to

494
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 6: return to test us once more.

495
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: On so compressed a timetable.

496
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: So true. It's a little tiring. Honestly.

497
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 6: It's like in Cuomo, the crook could have done a

498
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 6: better job of explaining why rent control is such a

499
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 6: miserable failure.

500
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 2: But it's funny.

501
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 6: As you attain a certain age, you're like, wait a minute,

502
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 6: people are running this up the flagpole again. It's completely

503
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 6: discredited over and over again, but you got to do

504
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 6: it again. It's like doing the laundry or or you know,

505
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 6: washing your car. You don't just do it once. It's

506
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 6: a periodic thing. Explaining why communism sucks.

507
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: Before we take a break, the press conference in the

508
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: big FBI is arrested thirty one people in this gambling thing.

509
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: This headline from the NYPD just came across. Players altered

510
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: their performances in scheme, so that is part of it.

511
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: So they altered their performance in a game in the scheme.

512
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: The way I'm taking this in because this is going

513
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: on while we're on the air, I think from a

514
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: legal standpoint, it's mostly an illegal gambling thing that the

515
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: big crime families were running from an entertainment interest. To

516
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: us standpoint, it's a some of the players got themselves

517
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: into trouble gambling and they got forced into altering the

518
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: performances to pay off gambling thats. But that seems to

519
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: be like a minor part of I mean, it's a

520
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: big part of the of an NBA story, but it's

521
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: a minor part of this big bust because it's tens

522
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars in the crime family gambling stuff

523
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: and poker games and everything like that, because they were

524
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: cheating people all across the right. So what some NBA

525
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: players got caught up in it, and so that you know,

526
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting. What was the name of the

527
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: former mobster Michael friend Ceci what was his name.

528
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 2: He became really.

529
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 6: Well known ten fifteen years ago when he left the mob.

530
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 6: He got out of prison and he went on speaking tours,

531
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,959
Speaker 6: especially to colleges, to explain to college athletes how the

532
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 6: whole gambling thing works. And one of the major components

533
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 6: of its Jack has pointed out is you have a

534
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 6: player likes to gamble, not on his own sport, maybe

535
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 6: it's poker for instance, gets into serious gambling debt. Only

536
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 6: way to pay it off is they make an offer

537
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 6: you can't refuse. You gotta shave some points or do

538
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 6: something like that, and they tell you, look, you just

539
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 6: do it twice in the slatest wipe clean. You do

540
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 6: it twice, They've got you even more than they did before.

541
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 6: They come to you and say, yeah, we need you

542
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 6: to do it a third time. What are you gonna

543
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 6: say no, I'm standing on principal. I'm gonna say no,

544
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 6: We'll just turn over rock solid evidence that you've shaved

545
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 6: points to the league and your career is over. Or

546
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 6: you can just intentionally miss a couple of free throws tonight.

547
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: Plus, if you got yourself into that kind of gambling debt,

548
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: you're probably a gambling addict. So you're continuing to gamble

549
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: and lose because you mostly lose when you gamble. I've

550
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: never understood why people don't get that you mostly lose.

551
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,959
Speaker 1: So if you keep gambling, you are going to lose,

552
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: and then you'll be in debt again, and then you'll

553
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: have to miss another handful of free throws. It'll be

554
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: interesting to see what players what games. People will go

555
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: back and look at them. Okay, I wondered about that game,

556
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, two Novembers ago on when they played the Lakers,

557
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: and you know whatever, Sure he is an eighty four

558
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: percent free throw shooter, but oh we misses both of them.

559
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be fun to watch. We got a lot

560
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 2: more on the way. Hope you can stay here.

561
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: Well, guys, everyone's having fun with the six seven trend.

562
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: That's everywhere right now.

563
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 3: Even news anchors are starting to get in on the action.

564
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: Watch this.

565
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: You know, all the kids are doing the six seven

566
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: six six seven six seven six seven.

567
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 5: Six seven six seven six seven.

568
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: I still don't understand, and it's over.

569
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 3: Okay, So I was.

570
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: That was more depressing than the actual news. I watch

571
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: this video yesterday about the end of pop culture or

572
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: the end of culture maybe in general in the United States.

573
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: This whole six seven thing would fit into it and

574
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: shared experiences. We'll have to talk about that later. It's

575
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: really an interesting thought. Oh okay, yeah, I like it.

576
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: Here's your headline of the day. How French is this

577
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,479
Speaker 1: surveillance camera pointed the wrong way? Allowed love heist?

578
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: Go Frands. You remember when you mattered, Oh, you're supposed

579
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: to have it pointed toward the window.

580
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 6: Oh okay, Hey, I wanted to update this because this

581
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 6: story matters much more than the race for Attorney General

582
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 6: in Virginia. This Jay Jones, piece of garbage who openly

583
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 6: fantasized about murdering the Republicans and their children dying in

584
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 6: their arms, and then when he was called on it,

585
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 6: he didn't say, Look, I was out of control.

586
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: I had a couple of drinks. I was joking. No,

587
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: he said, I'm serious.

588
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 6: You have to cause people physical pain before they changed

589
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 6: their policies. This guy is a pro political violence monster.

590
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 6: One part of the story that we hadn't really thrown in.

591
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 6: I hadn't thrown in just for the length of you

592
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 6: know time, you know, the amount of time we're.

593
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 2: Going to spend on. It is his whole drunk driving

594
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: conviction story. I didn't know that one. Oh yeah, yeah,

595
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 2: this is part of his history.

596
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 6: He was convicted of reckless driving after being pulled over

597
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 6: driving one hundred and sixteen miles per hour in a

598
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 6: seventy mile per hour.

599
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: Zone in twenty twenty two. Okay.

600
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 6: He was ordered to pay a fifteen hundred dollars fine

601
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 6: and serve one thousand hours of community service. Now I

602
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 6: knew the first part of this. You had the first

603
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 6: cot and drove one hundred and twenty miles an hour.

604
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: That is awful.

605
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 6: Reckless driving. I don't think he was drunk. Oh, okay, anyway,

606
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 6: So the New Kent County that's the county General District

607
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 6: Court received sign certificates of completion in twenty twenty four

608
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 6: attesting the jones that served five hundred of those community

609
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 6: service hours for his own political action committee and then

610
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 6: five hundred of the other ones for the Virginia chapter

611
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 6: of the naacp okay, which is an activist leftist organization

612
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 6: at this point, and would be more than happy to

613
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 6: sign the paperwork even though he never darken their doorway,

614
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 6: I'm sure.

615
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 2: But so the fless driving.

616
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 6: Cases come under scrutiny after the Richmond Times Dispatch exposed

617
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 6: the conviction earlier this month, disrupting the guy's campaign for

618
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 6: attorney general. And now a judge has said, hey, we're

619
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 6: going to appoint a special prosecutor to look into this,

620
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 6: because while this guy was allegedly doing ten hours a

621
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 6: week for two different organizations, he was also working full

622
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 6: time at his law firm and traveling the state for

623
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 6: the Democratic Party doing politics stuff.

624
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 2: In essence, it was completely phony. He did not do

625
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: any of.

626
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 6: His community service. And there's a special prosecutor now appointed.

627
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 6: I hope desperately this guy loses.

628
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: That's one of the big problems with the whole community

629
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: service racket. Anyway, I personally have known people. You don't

630
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: have to be very connected to anything at all to

631
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: get out of community service. You got any friend who's

632
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: like on your side, who's willing to sign your piece

633
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: of paper that you volunteered over the weekend to feed whatever,

634
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: and it's.

635
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 2: Taking care of it. It's a nothing, right, right.

636
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 6: It's more an intelligence test than a practically demand for time. Yeah,

637
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 6: or more appropriately, a test of how connected you are.

638
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 6: So maybe tomorrow this is two notes on the same topic.

639
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 6: Maybe tomorrow we'll get to a great email questioning our

640
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 6: discussion of the great feminization for the other day, and

641
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 6: we did it this hour, so I kind of want

642
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 6: to do the reply this hour, really good smart email

643
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 6: questioning some of the premises that I.

644
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: Want to deal with.

645
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 6: But on a related note, the Cincinnati police chief who

646
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 6: was in charge until very briefly and dealt with that

647
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 6: viral downtown brawl video where the gang of black folks

648
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 6: we're beating and kicking and just destroying a white couple.

649
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: Particularly that woman. The way she goes down like a

650
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: sack of hour and starts getting kicked.

651
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: That's just horrible. Oh, it's horrible. Yeah.

652
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 6: Cincinnati Police Chief Terry Siege has been placed on administrative

653
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 6: leave pending an investigation into her leadership. A lot of

654
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 6: this stems from how she handled the arrests and her

655
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 6: now viral rant after the July attack, in which she

656
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 6: scolded media for taking the fight out of context.

657
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the context for that? That could possibly make

658
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:28,240
Speaker 1: it okay?

659
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 6: Well, and she was trying to make the argument that

660
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 6: at some point during the fight, the white woman threw

661
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 6: a punch. Therefore was partly by trying to defend herself

662
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 6: was partly to blame for the incredible violence visited upon them,

663
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 6: but also at this point, there are multiple male white

664
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 6: guys in the police force saying this woman gave minority

665
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 6: lieutenants seventy nine percent desirable aside signments. Female lieutenants got

666
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 6: eighty nine percent desirable assignments, and males white males got

667
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 6: forty four percent preferred assignments, as they call them. She

668
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 6: was a DEI affirmative action keep the white man down

669
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 6: police chief, and a woman in charge of a police

670
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 6: the number. There are plenty of good lady cops out there,

671
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 6: plenty of them, and some of them will probably be

672
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 6: police chiefs, and they deserve it because they kick ass.

673
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 6: But the disproportionate number of fire chiefs and police chiefs,

674
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 6: particularly in Bluish areas, because they're women. It's part of

675
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 6: the whole feminization of America thing, and they run the

676
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 6: department in a very different way than a lot of

677
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 6: guys would. Anyway, So she's been placed on leave, the

678
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 6: city's investigating her various hijinks.

679
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: So an how our three, we'll get back into this

680
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: big NBA gambling bus that's going on the FBA arrested

681
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: thirty one people, including a head coach and a player,

682
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: among others. This player at least once faked an injury

683
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: to leave a game as part of his rigging things,

684
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: probably to try to pay off gambling debts. It's it's

685
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: quite the scandal. We'll have more of that now or three.

686
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,279
