- 1:31Speaker 3: I was just wonderful.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Just me, or if you're hearing anybody else.
- 1:34Speaker 1: No, I'm sure some people didn't like the criticism of Trump,
- 1:37Speaker 1: but that was like five minutes out of two hours.
- 1:39Speaker 1: I'm sure Curtis, even me, you'll find things you don't

- 1:46Speaker 1: Let's go to Randall in Maryland. Randall, how you doing.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Oh Mark, have you heard about this basket? The college
- 1:54Speaker 3: basketball scandal?
- 1:56Speaker 1: Yeah, these are these students on the team and there
- 2:00Speaker 1: were bad teams. They got paid like ten thousand each
- 2:03Speaker 1: to lose the game. Make it even worse than people
- 2:06Speaker 1: thought it would be right and.
- 2:09Speaker 3: The same old story. But I have yet to hear
- 2:12Speaker 3: any names of colleges or players.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Yeah, but I thought it was pretty good on their part.
- 2:16Speaker 1: I mean, good for them showing innovation. They make ten
- 2:18Speaker 1: thousand a game, these students. You don't think that was good. Well,
- 2:22Speaker 1: it's a losing team. They're expected to lose by twenty points.
- 2:25Speaker 1: But these bookmakers want to have them be so bad
- 2:29Speaker 1: that they lose by forty points and would help the bookmakers.
- 2:32Speaker 1: But hey, if you stink at basketball, why do not
- 2:35Speaker 1: get paid ten thousand a game? It's a all right,
- 2:39Speaker 1: you don't agree with me.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Well it's not being covered. I don't Who are they
- 2:43Speaker 3: and who's being charged?
- 2:46Speaker 1: Well, how do you know about it if it's not being.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Covered, Well, I heard about that it's being covered.

- 2:54Speaker 1: story where they'd be right in the front page, but
- 2:56Speaker 1: google it, it'll come up. Are you a gambler? Do
- 2:58Speaker 1: you bet on the games?
- 3:01Speaker 3: I don't bet on games, but I do gam.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought. You see, I don't gamble,
- 3:06Speaker 1: I don't bet on games. I don't care if.

- 3:08Speaker 1: But yeah, so That's what I thought. But google it,
- 3:12Speaker 1: it'll it'll come up. Hey if I was in college.
- 3:14Speaker 1: When I was in college, I didn't play basketball. But
- 3:18Speaker 1: if somebody offered me ten thousand a game to be
- 3:20Speaker 1: even worse, hey, I'd take it. Why not. Let's go
- 3:24Speaker 1: to phill and Long Island, Phil. How you doing?
- 3:27Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 3:27Speaker 4: Hello, Mark? Getting back to the swag in Nneapolis, which
- 3:34Speaker 4: have Waltz and everybody's trying to hide up by putting
- 3:37Speaker 4: up this insurrection thing. But I've heard that Mayor fries White.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you're going to find out everybody profited. Hey,
- 3:49Speaker 1: I hate to break it to you that you vote
- 3:51Speaker 1: for these socialists. One thing that happens when you get
- 3:55Speaker 1: a socialist, they make a fortune and everything gets worse
- 4:00Speaker 1: for you. The socialist always makes a fortune. Who's the
- 4:04Speaker 1: biggest socialist in government? Bernie Sanders. How many homes does
- 4:08Speaker 1: he have? Now? Four homes, four big mansions. He's doing
- 4:13Speaker 1: very very well. He and his wife made millions and
- 4:16Speaker 1: millions millions on these campaigns. Bill de Blasio and his wife,
- 4:21Speaker 1: Remember they started that program Thrive NYC. One billion dollars
- 4:27Speaker 1: went missing. This happens all the time. This daycare fraud
- 4:32Speaker 1: thing in Minnesota. It looks like they're now estimating nineteen
- 4:36Speaker 1: or twenty billion, not million. Nineteen billion was robbed. You're
- 4:43Speaker 1: going to find a lot of that money went into
- 4:45Speaker 1: a lot of public officials pockets. It happens all the time.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Watch for it to happen with mom, Donnie. That's why
- 4:50Speaker 1: he's talking about a billion dollar program to do this,
- 4:53Speaker 1: a billion dollar program to do that. There's skimming and
- 4:57Speaker 1: money going sideways in those programs that socialists always end
- 5:01Speaker 1: up wealthy, while the people who have voted for them
- 5:04Speaker 1: end up even in worst shape after socialism. Hey, when
