Yesterday we 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.280 were talking about how you cheated poker man. I was 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:10.200 going with like old timey river boat gambler cheating methods 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:14.920 that I've seen in person. No, this was unfreaking believable. Well, 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:16.399 I'll tell you what I learned. And I'm not a 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.839 gambler at all. I haven't played poker in forty years, 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.920 maybe longer at all. I don't know how a person 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.160 with any money would ever get involved with very high 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.520 stakes at all gambling based on everything I've learned in 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.960 the last twenty four hours, either from you talking about, 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.759 you know, being in games where clearly people were trying 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.680 to swindle you people you knew and how easy it 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.919 is to do. Combine that with this high level cheating, 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:48.840 with the X ray glasses and the card shuffling machines 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.280 that are rigged, and all this sort of stuff. I 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.480 don't know. I don't know why anybody wealthy would ever 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.400 play in a poker game. Key aspect of the scam 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.440 is you convince people that the game is straight. I'm 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.240 sure that it's legit, That's what I'm saying. I don't 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.360 know how you. I don't know how you would be convinced, ever, 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.480 that you're not getting Swindleshow you got to be at 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.720 least on the verge of being a gambling addict to 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.160 take that gamble, to take the word of somebody you 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.239 kind of know that, oh oh it's a legit game. 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.560 You know, everybody wins, everybody loses. But man, we go 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.400 at it hard hot. This is high dollar, no limits, 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:26.200 So bring your check book, buddy. I mean, well, so 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.840 what's their own? So so contact lenses and X ray glasses? 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:34.760 How did those work? Well? They they had special they 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.400 had all sorts of They had this high tech card 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:43.720 shuffling cheap machine that was unbelievable. They had special glasses 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:48.040 and contact lenses that could read the backs of cards 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:54.600 which were marked, and they had X ray tables that 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:58.080 could read the cards through the surface of the table, 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.760 and there was one other wacky X ray e thing 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:06.480 I can't even remember, but yeah, it was like insanely 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:11.720 high tech, not like rigging the game, but just seeing 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.000 the other player cards all the time. I wonder why 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.080 they went to all of that work, which obviously the 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.000 more of that stuff you got going on, the easier 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:20.360 it is to get caught. Because the way you were 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:24.240 explaining it yesterday, it's pretty easy if you got a 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.000 handful of players, even a couple of players in on 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:31.440 the scam, to fleece the person you brought in, right, 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:36.320 you way stack the deck. No pun intended in terms 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.480 of the odds of various outcomes. I mean, it's you 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.560 might one out of five times your scam is going 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.640 to lose, but Fort TAM's had a five you win, 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.680 and that loss actually helps perpetuate the feeling that it's legit. 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.240 So I want to know everything about this. What were 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:59.640 there procedures for not winning all the time, because you 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:03.040 can't just cleaned the fish out the first hand every 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.880 time where it's gonna get around. Yeah, at the very 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.240 least he would be suspicious and not come back and think, Okay, 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.000 so I just happen to get the worst cards every 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.600 single time. Yeah right, I ain't playing with you anymore. Yeah. 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.880 So they probably let guys win hands and get a 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:21.960 little old and get a little fat on their back, 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:23.719 as they say, I just I want to know everything 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.280 I don't know. From the NBA side, the way they 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:33.000 get caught seems to me like childishly inempt So you 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:38.840 got a meaningless game between two not even probably playoff teams, 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.800 some barely known player. All of a sudden, all this 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.240 money flows into bedding houses across the country, which is 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.760 kept track of by the way. Now, all of a sudden, 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.400 that's funny. I wonder why so many people bet this 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.400 player most of us have never heard of, is going 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.159 to get hurt tonight. That seems weird. And then that 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.919 you know, tipped off authorities to start looking into that 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.599 sort of thing. Come on, that's not going to happen. 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.560 That's well, that's why if you're a good mobster, you 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.400 got to spread it around. So you bet on this 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:12.640 free throw. Some you bet the under on what's his 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:18.280 name who faked the injury Rosier. Yeah, and you got 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.400 to spread it around otherwise you get you know, you 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.880 set off the algorithms. Well, the thing that started it 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:28.080 originally was that story we heard yesterday about him pulling 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.039 up hurt nine minutes into a game. A whole bunch 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.440 of money had flooded into that meaningless game around one player. 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.400 Most people don't think about bet in the under, bet 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.360 in the under all of a sudden, so many people, 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.520 I mean, that tipped people off immediately. There was an 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.200 investigation going on right away, yeah, by the NBA. So 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.120 part of it is what you were talking about a 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:50.240 while back, is with AI can monitor so much of 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:54.880 this betting action and figure out variables that don't match 0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:00.000 normal variables and betting right pick up patterns and stuff 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:01.600 like that. So I guess the good thing there is 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.880 gonna be a lot harder to fix sporting events that way. Yes, 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:08.279 Michael Hanson and I are just noticing that Joe knows 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.960 an awful lot about this poker world where he's kind 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:15.599 of wondering exactly. I was in with one of the 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.760 families for a while who've been in an interesting experience. 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.600 I was in an experimental phase in my life, became 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.640 a mobster. Didn't like it. Cut out. I worked with 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.680 a guy there was my ballet period. I'll tell you 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.600 about that someday. I worked with a guy at a 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:35.039 radio station one time. He big, tough guy, sales guy, 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.440 built like a just like he looked like one of 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.360 those guys you could just wail on him and he 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.559 wouldn't even feel it. Just that kind of person. Yeah, 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:48.240 And he got invited by some family to Vegas one time. 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:49.599 And he went to Vegas and he came back and 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:54.000 he told me, he said, I got invited to my relatives. 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.080 My distance relatives are one of the big crime families, 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:59.040 and I got invited to a join and they wanted 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:00.320 to know if I want to start, he said, And 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:01.919 I got to decide, because once you get in, you 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.040 can't get out. I've known other family members that got in. 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.160 You either got to decide to stay out or once 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.320 you get in, you're in. And I don't know what 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.320 he did. He working at the radio station, maybe went 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.400 and joined. He was going to be a muscle of 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.760 some sort. I suppose a Polly Walnut sort of go 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.480 beat people up guy. And then you work your way up, yeah, 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.600 become a cap bull. Forget about it. But we mentioned 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.360 this yesterday our whole lives, starting as when I was 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.200 a kid, it was always, of course, this is the 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.240 old days. Organized crime doesn't really exist anymore. And they've 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:33.120 been saying that every decade my entire life. And then 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.320 stories like this rise up, and then once again you 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:39.840 got the same five families running some sort of giant operation. 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:44.960 And what's really really interesting about this is there have 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:51.280 long been whispers in the NBA about very high stakes poker, 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:55.160 super common, including some of the greatest players in the 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:59.080 game currently and in the past. And so the whole 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.600 wait a minute, point shaving NBA and poker thing, it's 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.600 like it's you know, it's like a peanut butter and 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.680 ham sandwich. At first, it doesn't make sense, but there 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:14.040 are now folks talking out loud about, Yeah, this makes 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:20.360 perfect sense because the whole high stakes gambling NBA player 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:25.000 poker thing, that's that's it's been part of the culture 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.880 for a long time. Well, Jordan was a big gambler. 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.920 Charles Barkley is a big gambler, like really big gamblers, 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.880 right right, And and they're also and I'm sorry I 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.680 left out the important part. And some of the whispers 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:40.079 about point shaving and throwing meaningless games and that sort 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.040 of thing that that's been going on in the NBA 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.880 for a long time. Those whispers are starting to get louder. 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:50.959 This this is earth shaking for the NBA, unless the 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:55.000 the tips I've gotten are way off. This this is 0:08:55.040 --> 0:09:02.160 the beginning of the earthquake. Rick ex variance an earthquake. Please, 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:08.520 let's start the show off officially. Uh oh, we killed 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:12.440 some more people in a boat. Next it I'm canceling 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.960 my water skiing trip to Venezuela. That's it just doesn't 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.440 seem like the right time. Six more dudes in a 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:22.760 boat overnight strike in the Caribbean. According to the Secretary 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.480 of War, I've got to start the show officially. I'm 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.240 Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Friday, 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.360 October twenty fourth, the year twenty twenty five, or Armstrong 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.760 and getting and we approve of this program. Okay, let's 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.800 begin then officially according the FCC rules regulations, here we 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.040 go at Mark. 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.520 Rosier turn it over again, having a tough. 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:45.680 Night roasting here off the dhow and he turned it over. 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:48.760 Rose here with a nine one one, pump up short, 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:54.520 Rose with contested three, sure to see here with a three, 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.200 Anderson with a refounder ros a Rehopeys. 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:58.760 Turned up and try. 0:09:58.920 --> 0:09:59.480 But that was. 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:05.520 That was one of the games that came to the 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.800 attention of the authorities in which mister Rosier was like 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:13.200 obviously throwing the ball, passing the ball so it would 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.480 be intercepted. I mean, like pass his NBA players never 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:20.120 make Why would you do it to that extent? Did 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.280 they just latch onto a guy who was not a 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.680 good actor. I mean, don't be that obviously. All you 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:29.000 gotta do is well, it depends if the big time 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:34.760 gamblers who had him by the uh tender pits had 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:38.080 bet his team to lose and one of his teammates 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.079 was just going off making everything. You got to take 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.640 more extreme measures. I mean, even Steph Curry has you 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.200 know games where he goes, oh for three pointers in 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.000 the first half or something, right, but this guy was 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:54.400 throwing balls directly to his opponents and leaving shots feet 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:59.760 short of the rim, not even scaring the rim. Oh boy, 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.000 this will be fun, and of course this will make 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.920 every fan for the quite a while think when their 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:09.959 team loses a close game with a weird play. Oh, okay, 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.600 I see what's happening here. At the very least, it'll 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.040 be a fun running joke. And I was reading. Rich 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:16.800 Lowry of the National Review wrote a piece for a 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.000 New York Post last night about how this is was 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:23.400 inevitable as we allowed gambling, legalized gambling with that big 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:26.200 Supreme Court decision a few years back, and it just 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:30.240 became such a giant industry in every parts of sport, 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:34.000 at every level, and so easy to do. This was inevitable. 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.200 I suppose he is right. I don't know where you 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:43.079 how you outlawed, though, if you believe I don't know, 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:47.160 I know the commissioners of all the leagues are probably 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.440 meeting together in their secret star chamber right now, with 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.080 sweat pouring down their faces and panic in the air, 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.240 trying to figure out that the answer to that question. 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.040 It doesn't help that the commissioner of the NBA looks 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.440 like a movie villain. If I saw help, if I 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:06.040 saw him lurking behind me, I'd scream and wet myself. Ah, 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.640 if he had an underground layer, it would not surprise me. No, 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.040 pet's a cat No, he's clearly that guy. 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:11.320 Right. 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.520 We've got Katie's headlines, we got clips of the week. 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.160 I got to remember it. We got lots of news 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:21.280 to get to stay with us. I'm going to ask 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.040 people as a thought experiment, to be honest with themselves 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.320 later around a particular topic that I think will be 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:35.840 somewhat revealing. So please stay tuned for that. Okay, night, 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.880 I'm intrigued and fascinated. I can't wait. Now, one of 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.360 the big stories of the day. Your opinion on it. 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.600 If it were a different administration, I have a feeling 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.280 some of you would have a different opinion. All right, interesting, 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.839 all right, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.080 least story with Katie Green, Katie take it away. So 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.160 my joke to Katie, actually I want to mention because 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:59.400 it's got a conversation behind it. Okay. I told my 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.800 wife she'd her eyebrows too high. She seems surprised. But 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.480 I was talking to a woman the other day who 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.880 had her eyebrows drawn on, and I mean, like, I 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.480 know that you like your colory eyebrows or whatever. There's 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.320 a little adding to it, but I mean this was 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:19.319 just like, no, eyebrows exist of actual hair and then 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:23.760 just like a magic marker V on top of their eyes. 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:24.480 That's a thing. 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.600 Some some women are actually shaving them off so they 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:28.840 can redraw them back there. 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.040 That seemed to be the case here. Very attractive woman, 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.200 but she just had them like a like a drawn 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:37.679 on V. Yeah, that's the eyebrows having a moment? Jack interesting, 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:43.160 Can I do that with my smile? Just like like 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.400 Joker style? She looks surprised, you see, Okay, try it 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:50.320 all right, NBC. 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.160 The story everyone's talking about nightmare for the League gambling 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.720 scandal Royals the NBA. 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:01.880 I'd say it is. Yeah, so oh it sounds like 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.520 most of the money's of poker games, tens of millions 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:08.520 of dollars across many many states, the five big mafia 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.800 crime families. But then there's also the players got caught 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.760 up in gambling debt and had to cheat to pay 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.959 off their debt story. Yeah, this seems like a variation 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:22.480 on the they got capone for tax evasion thing. What's 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.040 going to bring the league down is going to be 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.760 a lot smaller dollar amount than the whole poker scam. Maybe, 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.760 but we'll have to sing let the tips for what 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.560 I may. From the Wall Street. 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:36.840 Journal, US inflation picked up to three percent in September. 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:40.600 I didn't know that. I didn't hear that. Oh my god. 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:43.480 From ABC. 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:48.600 Trump heads to Asia to talk trade deal with China's g. 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:56.400 He's meeting with President She next Thursday. From CNN. 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.280 US sanctions on Russia over Ukraine and pressure you're on 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:01.960 Putin to end the war. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:07.920 Finally, Yeah, and India and China have agreed they not 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:11.920 going to buy oil from Russia anymore at these new sanctions. 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.640 So if that's true, that's a big deal. And did 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.680 you hear We're in a new trade war with Canada 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.840 as the world's most easily butt hurt man. Donald J. 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.520 Trump got offended by a Canadian ad. We'll tell you 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.600 about it and play you in the audio, the obnoxious, 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:31.720 horrific ad. It's permontrated by America's at Canada. From the 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:32.840 Associated Press. 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:38.440 Southwest Airlines new policy will affect its plus sized travelers. 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.160 So now, right now, if you don't fit in a seat, 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.600 you can go up and they'll give you a free one. Now, 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:46.160 if you know you don't fit in a seat, you 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:47.760 have to buy your extra seat. 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:51.320 Well, I think that the latter policy is clearly the 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.640 only way you can run the airline. I would agree. Yeah, 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:58.040 you sell space. Literally, if you're taking up more than 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:00.000 a certain amount of space, you got to pay more. 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.000 Are they a discrimination? Are they officially as signed seating 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.160 now at Southwest? Has that started already or is it 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.760 still a first come, first first of the year. Maybe 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:09.240 I think it's start from the beginning of the year. 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:10.280 That's too bad. 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:16.760 From page six, video shows Britney Spears driving erratically after 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:22.720 night out as she spirals over Kevin Fetterline's bombshell memoir. Yeah, 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.800 I saw this video yesterday. She was hammered and right, 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.040 she's lucky she didn't kill herself or someone else. 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.480 That's something Feeder. Line puts out a book talking about 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.680 how she's a mess and they should have never let 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:35.960 her have her money bag. She can't run her life, 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.040 and then she goes on a binge. It seems like 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.600 when that book came out, which proves his point. 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:45.480 From study fines taking a walk every day may keep 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:53.320 lower back pain away, can't hurt. And finally from the 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:57.280 Babylon b WNBA players as sure the FBI that they 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.200 weren't missing layups to throw games. 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:03.600 They just sock at basketball. I saw a lot of 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.440 that too, including just the idea that they caught w 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.360 NBA players cheating and just said, yeah, that's all right, 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:16.280 go ahead, it doesn't matter. Wow, all right. Clips of 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.760 the week. Trade war with Canada. These are odd times. 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:20.760 That's not nice as misogynist is what it is. We 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:26.359 have lots on the way, stay here, Armstrong and getty. 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.960 Target is laying off a thousand people. Some people say 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:36.080 it's terriffre weighted. I don't know, but a number of 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.040 companies have made those kind of announcements. It's always happening, though, 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:43.720 I guess, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know. I'll have 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:47.760 to look into these times. Seem very royaled, don't they. Yeah, well, yeah, 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:52.480 heck yeah. The much is the China tariff hundred percent 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:57.119 tariff kicking in next week on November first. Who knows. 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:02.800 Something's new strategy is CounterPunch even harder Trump. Well, the 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.720 only thing Trump respects his strength, So they're going to 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:07.800 up the antie in the trade war. And who knows. 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.040 I will look into that inflation number. See what the 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:11.720 Wall Street Journal says about it. I don't like the 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:15.679 fact that it went up a little yeah, yeah, so 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.320 a lot to talk about today. But first it's the 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.359 Friday tradition. Let's take fun to look back at the 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:27.600 week that was. It's cow clips of the week. Come 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:34.280 to the week if Trump was elected? How exactly is 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:38.639 he a game? Oh actively switching the lovers of power 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.320 and orchests toperg elections and what does that mean? 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:48.920 Things such as uh. 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:51.399 Freedom of protesting? What do we want it? Because it 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:57.919 was forward, it must be true. Yeah, as a fragile 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.720 CIEs fire faced its most serious tests. You know, they're 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:03.440 going to be very good. They're going to behave they're 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:04.959 going to be nice, and if they're not, we're going 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.840 to go and we're going to eradicate them. If we 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:13.320 have to, construction on President Trump's vast new ballroom gets underway. 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:18.280 The price Donald Trump is literally destroying the people's house. 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:22.399 And take a wrecking ball to an existing structures. 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:25.280 In order to do it properly, we had to take 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:30.160 down the existing structure. This is going to be probably 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:31.960 the finest ballroom ever built. 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:34.919 If people want to stop seeing drug boats blow up, 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:38.120 stop sending drugs to the United States, you won't feel 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.000 badly about it is you realize that every time you 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:44.160 see that happen, you're saving twenty five thousand American lives. 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.480 The White House revealing the second summit with Vladimir Putin 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:48.760 won't happen anytime soon. 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.040 I will be the mayor who doesn't just protect Jewish 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:55.120 New Yorkers, but also celebrates and cherishes them. 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.200 Our pleasure leasion to the flag of the United States 0:19:58.240 --> 0:19:59.240 of America. 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:07.560 Is the republic for which wipe that smile off your face. Andrew, 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:10.840 you didn't leave. You fled from being impeached. 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:15.440 Chauncy Phillips, Damon Jones, and Terry Rozier were taking into custody. 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:20.960 The scheme targeted victims known as quote fish. 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:26.080 These operatives included capos and multiple soldiers from the Banano, Gambino, 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:30.560 lu Casey and Genevieve's crime families. This is the Instrider 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:34.440 trading saga for the NBA. That's what this is. That's 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:38.160 why we are going to take heap. Tesla recently unveiled 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:41.000 a cheaper version of its Model three sedan that costs 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:44.240 approximately thirty seven thousand dollars as opposed to the cyber truck, 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:46.639 which will cost you your friends and family. 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:52.760 Work Man. 0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:06.720 Filled Horozer, good to the lead. Oh that's right. The 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:09.960 world serious starts tonight, Yes, at in Toronto, in a 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:15.160 foreign land. Go as the war drums are beating right now, 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:18.720 the Canada declaring its hostilities by running an ad and 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.200 the president got but hurt. Gotta admit, I'm gonna be 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:23.280 rooting for the Blue Jays. It's hard not to root 0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:24.720 for an underdog, I mean, because I don't have a 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:26.919 serious rooting interest here, so I'll be looking for an 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:30.840 upset for excitement. But we'll see. I just looked into 0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:34.520 the inflation numbers. The stock market is up because three 0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:38.159 percent inflation is less than they expected. They expected it 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:41.600 to go up more so it's actually good news as 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:46.320 it beat expectations. So there you go. There's that story. Right. 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:49.600 Here's Mike. Here's my quick thought experiment, since it came 0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:52.240 up during clips of the week. Now, beat, can you 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:59.600 beat completely honest with yourself, if this exact same tearing 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:04.440 down the East Wing was going on and Biden was president, 0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:09.480 would you feel exactly the same way as you do 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:12.679 with Trump doing it? Can you be honest with yourself 0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:15.080 about that? I have a feeling a lot of people, 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:18.040 a lot of Fox news whatever, that's okay with Trump 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:21.800 doing it, would be outraged if Biden were doing it, 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:25.760 they would find a pretext to make it a scandal. Yes, 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:28.320 a lot of people would, I'll tell you this, speaking 0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:32.359 of honesty, it occurred to me finally and doing some 0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:35.119 reading about it, that a Trump saying, look, it's not 0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:37.800 going to cost the taxpayers anything. It's all private donations. 0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:41.000 And it is. It's giant private donations. What do those 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:45.680 people get for that? That's the White House is more 0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:49.320 transactional than I am comfortable with that. If Biden was 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:52.359 doing a lot of the stuff with like a bitcoin, 0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:56.440 not bitcoin, but you know, cryptocurrencies and stuff and NFTs 0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:59.040 and all that Trump was doing and then he pardons 0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:02.160 that crypto guy, I would be howling about it. I've 0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:04.760 thought about that about lots of different things that presidents do, 0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:07.240 even their presidential libraries. No, no, no, it's no tax 0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:10.560 mayor money. It's from donations. Okay, who's who's donating and 0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:12.320 why what are they getting out of it? They're getting 0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:15.000 something out of while you're still in office promising a 0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:17.200 whole bunch of money for your presidential library. We might 0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:24.320 be better off if it were tax payer money, right right, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:28.400 a republic if you can keep it. Yeah, these are 0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:32.200 trouble times. Troubled What are you gonna do. You're gonna 0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:35.000 dance in a ballroom, That's what you're gonna do. It's 0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:36.840
