WEBVTT - This Piece Of Garbage! 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:07.640 Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:10.280 Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty. 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:17.640 Armstrong and Jetty and now he Armstrong and Yetti. 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:24.119 For the first time. 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:26.680 The US launching a deadly air strike on a suspected 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:30.120 drug boat in the Eastern Pacific Ocean off Central America, 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.360 a major expansion of President Trump's war on the cartels. 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.560 Secretary Pete Hegseth saying the vessel was involved in illicit 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:40.400 narcotics smuggling as part of a designated terrorist organization, but 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.120 did not provide evidence. He added that two people were 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:46.520 killed this newest strike, targeting the Eastern Pacific. It's where 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.040 roughly seventy percent of all the cocaine that enters the 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:50.239 US is smuggled. 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.960 That's interesting. That was a fact from ABC News. That's 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.840 seventy percent of the drugs entering the United States coming 0:00:57.880 --> 0:00:59.240 from that little area there. 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:01.080 That's a lot of it. 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:07.920 I don't have strong opinions on this particular topic this show, 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:09.800 for better or worse, or at least for me, for 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.800 better or worse, I only get worked up about certain things. 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.279 I don't get worked up about every story that comes along. 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.360 And this isn't what I'm getting worked up about. But 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.960 some of my actual conservative or libertarian friends are very 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:27.560 concerned about this. Yeah, I get that. I get it too, 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:29.959 Just you know, you can only get for me anyway. 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:33.480 I can only really emotionally get involved in so many 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:38.440 different stories. Here's Trump explaining blasting people, perhaps fishermen, perhaps 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:39.080 drug dealers. 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:40.360 Who knows out of the water. 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.880 When you look at the people we're dealing with, and 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:45.959 we know them, we know the people coming in, we 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:47.600 know the boats, we know everything else. 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.840 We're allowed to do it. It's in international waters. 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.600 If we don't do it, we're going to lose hundreds 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:56.840 of thousands of people. 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.640 I gotta believe that for real. 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.000 Even with all the jokes we've been making about fishermen, 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:08.840 I wouldn't want to get into a boat and go 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.520 out fishing in that area, would you. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:16.600 Well, I would not do it in a super powered 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.919 what do they call them cigarette boat? Those those super 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.520 high powered speed boats. I'd make mine look good and 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:24.160 fishing y. 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.880 You know, got a bunch of poles sticking out, got 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:34.440 the cabin door, fentanyls worms. 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.760 Right, and then you know, give the give the boat 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:37.119 a name. 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.000 Like the Heidi Ho three or something like that, an innocent, 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.880 fun loving name, because all these boats look the same. 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:46.799 They're super high powered speed boats. They do boats zooming 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.960 across the Caribbean or in this case, and the news 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:49.920 was making a big the. 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:55.160 Trump's controsio practices have now expanded to the Eastern Pacific. 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.240 You know, I don't think the name of the body 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.680 on the wall of water on the app is really 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:05.480 that significant a wrinkle, right, it's how sure we are 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.520 who this is? And you know what's the process for determining? 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:10.359 Right? 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.760 Well? Yeah, in short, drug routes from South and Central 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.800 America to the US. Some are going to be on 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.799 that side of the Panama it is Smiths, some are 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.960 going to be on the other, all right, David Muha, 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:27.120 calm down. Excellent use of the word isthmus, thank you, 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:28.440 which doesn't. 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.040 Make it under the show enough. So Marco Rubio is 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:32.239 what it is? Mus. 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.200 Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, was there in the Oval 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.400 Office and was asked about this and stood up for 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.600 our current policy. 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.240 Well, I mean the question is, bottom line, these are 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.040 drug voats. If people want to stop seeing drug voats 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:46.880 blow up, stop sending drugs to the United. 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.000 States, doesn't matter in the United States. 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:50.520 Well, these are all in international waters. 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.720 The voat you is strike in the United States or. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:54.800 Well, that's a different man. Now you're talking about law 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.440 enforcement matter. In this particular case, there are people traveling 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.000 on international waters headed towards the United States with how 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.320 hostilities in mind, which includes flooding our country with dangerous, 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.200 deadly drugs, and they're going to be stopped. And that's 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.840 what's happening. And yeah, in the case last week you 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.680 saw there was a submarine. It was a submarine. It 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:12.839 was a submersible. That's a drug boat. All the way through. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.800 We know what these boats are, the President just said it. 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:16.480 We tracked them from the very beginning. 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.360 We know who's on them, who they are, where they're 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.240 coming from, what they have on them. And you know, 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.520 if you're running drug boats, you're in you're in grave danger. 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.880 I hope that's true. I hope we know who's on them, 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.120 we know them they're drug boats. I hope it's as 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:29.040 thorough as they're presenting. 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:33.600 Yeah, yeah, you don't wanna get blown up, don't don't 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.279 drive a drug boat through that area. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:36.760 That's his advice. 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.640 So we're following a big breaking news story today with 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:44.560 the NBA season starting what two days ago, thirty one 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.880 people arrested, including a head coach and current player, at 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:52.600 least one in a gambling scandal. So the FBI is 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.200 going to have a big press conference today and we'll 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:55.960 find out more about what was going on there. But 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.680 like Joe said, this could be one of the biggest 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:00.680 sports gamblings stories ever. 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.159 Oh, it absolutely could be. Yeah, yeah, now you're working 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.520 that desk. I'm not really following it. But have they 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.960 even leaked? Is that the end of the list of 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:15.760 players and coaches or are among the thirty one arrested? 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.719 Are there more NBA figures? Are they all just mobsters 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:19.320 and gambler? 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:20.800 I don't know. 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.320 My guess would be that those are the two big 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.559 names and the rest of the movie people. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.560 You never heard of a coach and a player, but 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:30.239 an actual. 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:37.680 Head coach arrested though in one of the major sports leagues.

Man, I'm planting evidence. 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.920 I'm planting evidence in that guy's locker or something to 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:04.640 get him out of there. That's a funny idea. 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:05.000 Yeah. 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.839 Yeah, Plus, you can't make me pay the guy's salary 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:09.920 if he's a damn gambler. 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.400 I won't have it.

Not only did we crack into the fraud 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:54.880 that these perpetrators committed on the grand stage of the NBA, 0:10:55.320 --> 0:11:00.559 but we also entered and executed a system of justice 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:05.280 against La Casinoshra to include the Banano, Gambino, Genevesi, and 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:06.720 lu Chase crime families. 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:07.240 Yeah. 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.520 So this includes some of the biggest crime families in 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:15.640 American history. That's Cash Pattel, FBI director, just moments ago 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.000 with his press conference as thirty one people have been 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:26.480 arrested involving an NBA gambling and he said they're fixing scandal. 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:27.959 Didn't he did? He use the word fixing. 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:35.280 I don't recall something that the game that involved games though, rigging. 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.600 He used the word rigging, sports, rigging, fair So yeah, 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.920 story so uh, Because I had been reading the New 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.600 York Times version of it and this is all just 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.880 coming out and it sounded like a lot of poker 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.000 and gambling, and I thought, Okay, is this not going 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.720 to be as big a deal? But no rigging poker 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:57.720 games Okay, rigging poker games is different than rigging NBA games. 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.000 You got to figure out why are we rigging poker 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.280 or rigging NBA games here? Those are different things. Anyway, 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:04.440 here's more from Cash Betel. 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.040 The charges and the arrests that were taken down across 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.560 this country range from wire fraud, money laundering, extortion, robbery, 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:14.560 illegal gambling, and the fraud is mind boggling. It's not 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.520 hundreds of dollars, it's not thousands of dollars. It's not 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.600 tens of thousands of dollars. It's not even millions of dollars. 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.120 We're talking about tens of millions of dollars in fraud 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:29.120 and theft and robbery across a multi year investigation. 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.640 Okay, so wait a second, you told me sure enough. 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:36.440 Is this a deal where cause you know, Michael Jordan, 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:41.920 famous like big time gambler, Charles Barkley, famous big time 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.440 gambler like have gambling problems, They spend crazy amounts of money. 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:48.280 Is this just about some. 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:52.360 Sort of illegal poker games that they were rigging that 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.400 happened to be sports players and doesn't really have anything 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:56.520 to do with NBA games. 0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.520 They happen to be rich guys who were somehow involved. 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:05.760 But the excuse me, the wording is very vague. Is 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.199 that on purpose to make this seem like it's attached 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.600 to the NBA so far, and it seems to me 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.479 like the only attachment is you got rich NBA players 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.400 involved in some illegal gambling. 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.880 But that's not got anything to do with the league. 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.680 Let's see the case, which involves at least two criminal 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:24.520 schemes according to people with knowledge of the matter. Uh, 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.760 some people participated in both schemes. According to a person 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.760 with knowledge of the matter, one involved illegal poker games 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.800 that were set up by organized crime families and also 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.079 involved at least one NBA coach and former player in 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:40.120 the league. According to three law enforcement officials, the case 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.720 is expected to involve more than two dozen people. 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.760 I think, what's the other aspect of it? Well, let 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.000 me what's the one. Let me say this and then 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:49.280 you can tell me if I'm right or not. 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.400 Cash Ptel has got a reputation of a bit of 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:58.120 a like, likes to get headlines and uh, you know, 0:13:58.280 --> 0:13:59.480 put on a bit of a show, get a lot 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:06.960 of attention. Is he purposely saying rigged games to confuse people? 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.640 When this is about poker games and not about NBA games. 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:13.920 Okay, I'm getting live updates. The indictments charged two different schemes. 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:18.400 One a sports betting conspiracy that exploited confidential information. 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.080 Okay, there you go, and the other the nationwide scheme 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:21.920 to rig poker games. 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:22.240 Okay. 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.640 The poker games thing is kind of interesting, but not 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:28.240 a whatever. But if it, you know, you get into 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:33.240 the actual sports that people bet on by the billions 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:37.320 of dollars, and some of them were fixed this way 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:37.800 or that. 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.200 That's that's a major that's a major. 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:43.000 Story, right, yeah, yeah, it's both. 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.160 Wow. Huh. 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.280 And how about those you know, if you're into mafia's stories, 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.120 you know those names. Those are the big Mafia families. 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.520 I didn't think they were up to much these days, 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.040 although rigging games. 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:04.240 Allegedly, huh. This is exciting. 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.680 But I see my brother from the Old Country sitting 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:12.240 in the gallery. So I'll not be testifying on the show. Sorry, 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.680 I got nothing to say. 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:18.240 You have to be a fan of the Godfather to 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.720 enjoy that. What was I gonna say? It's gonna say 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.480 something if you're not watch it again. 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:26.000 The NBA and the gambling and I don't know I 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:27.240 had some point to make about that. 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.680 Well, there will be time. There will be time. 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:32.920 The head coach is done. 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.560 The head coach is done as a coach. Ye, yeah, 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.520 of course he is. Yeah. 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:41.240 Sorry Portland, you got junkies on the streets and crooks 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:42.440 running your basketball team. 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:42.960 It's a shame. 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:43.960 Anyway. 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:47.320 A couple of things I'm excited to talk about. A 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:53.200 think tank, a good one has re ranked universities and 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:57.200 colleges and ranked them on free speech, the school's approach 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:01.440 to politics on campus, how well students do after graduation, 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:08.000 whether they've exhibited some sort of pluralism among faculty. In short, 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:10.760 do they behave like a university supposed to behave or 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:15.120 do they behave like an indoctrination factory for progressive thought? 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.520 And the top ten are out at least, and it's 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.760 not the usual suspects. If you want your kid or 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:24.760 you're just concerned about this in general, but if you 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.480 want your kid to go to university where they'll actually 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.160 be challenged and learn, got the list for you coming up. 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.280 Cool, And then we're going to get the highlights of 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.560 the debate last night between the communists and the crook 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.160 So that's fun. They got a little spicy. So I'm 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:41.960 looking at CNN. Their headline up there is historic arrest. 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:45.440 This is in quotes, historic arrest over years of sports rigging. 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:48.760 Okay, you got to be more specific about the sports rigging. 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.920 Are you talk about the sport of gambling or the 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.520 sport of national the basketball in the National Basketball Association? 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.160 Yeah, it's not clear to me where the one ends 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.080 and the other one starts. There being fudgie on this 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:04.240 and purpose because it's more exciting if it's NBA games 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.840 than if it's we're talking about CNN. Right, yeah, right, 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.120 Well but did did Cash Pttel make it a little 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:12.639 fudgy on purpose to make it more exciting? 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:13.040 I don't know. 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:18.200 Make it clear to us, please Armstrong and Getty. First 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.240 of all, we're trying to wrap our heads around exactly 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:28.359 what's happening with this giant NBA gambling scandal. Is it 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:33.560 mostly poker games? That's what all the headlines seem to be, 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:35.560 and that's the main thing they're talking about in the 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:39.360 press conference. There's these rigged poker games spanning eleven states, 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:43.439 and all the crime families and NBA players, coaches and 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:47.680 people that are involved in them. They're not talk giving 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:51.320 any details on anything about games as of yet, NBA 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:54.800 games just poker games, So I don't know. 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:56.479 What's going on there. I guess we'll find out when 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:57.040 we find out. 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:02.600 New York Times is definitely talking about game scandals, a 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.520 game fixing scandals too, but they didn't They certainly didn't 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.080 lead with that, and they haven't given any details whatsoever. 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:12.040 And if that were the bulk of us, you would 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:15.160 lead with that. We have evidence that in an NBA 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:18.440 game they shaved points or pulled a player or whatever, 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:20.960 and they got it's all. It's been going on for 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:23.280 a half an hour now, and it's like ninety nine percent. 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.680 It's Operation Royal Flush, which is the name of the sting, 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:30.000 which would lead you to believe it's mostly poker. It's 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:34.439 not Operation you know, missed that free throw on purpose. 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.919 It's Operation Royal Flush. So I don't know. 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:42.239 We'll see thirty one people arrested though, that's something uh. 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.800 The attorney for the Eastern District in New York said 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.159 that the sports betting scheme involved hundreds of thousands of 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:51.240 dollars in fraudulent bets involving network of proxies or straw betters. 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:54.600 Most of the allegedly fraudulent bets were successful. Okay, well 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:58.640 we'll update updates come, but that's hundreds of thousands of dollars. 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.760 They're talking about tens of millions of day total, so 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:02.280 we'll see. 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:02.920 Yeah. 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:04.760 Uh. 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:10.840 You know, when people regularly decide to cross that line 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:16.240 historically in terms of cheating in sports, that's when they've 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:20.560 gotten themselves into gambling debt. They've gotten themselves into a 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:23.240 real problem. It's what you throw a fight or whatever. 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.240 It's because you got your gambling on other things and 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:28.439 you got yourself in such a bad situation that you 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.480 cross that line and willing to do so. Well, the 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.600 mobsters come to you and say, you're never going to 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:34.320 pay us off. 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:39.200 So here's an idea how you can get square, and 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.480 you have to take it. It's an offer you can't refuse. 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.080 Look, butch I need you to go down in the 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:45.600 third That sting you feel is pride. You got to 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:50.600 fight that s right. That's from pulp fiction, second classic 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:57.200 movie reference of the hour. So they had another debate 0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:59.760 last night in New York with the communist, the crook, 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.880 and then that other dude, which you'll hear from all 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:03.400 three of them. 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:06.320 And these are some of the highlights from the debate. 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.919 My opponents, who spend more time trying to convince the 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:13.040 other to drop out than actually proposing their own policies, 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:15.720 will speak only of the past because that's all that 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:18.920 they know. I am the sole candidate running with a 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:20.919 vision for the future of this city. 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:24.159 Zoron is a great actor. He missed his calling. 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:28.320 Since I left, homeless rate is more than double. When 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.639 I left, the vacancy rate on housing was four point 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:32.480 five percent. 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:34.600 It's now one percent. 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.160
