00:00:00.000 On the biggest stage in the world, FanDuel is changing the game
00:00:04.120 because sometimes your player gets subbed off and your bet goes with them.
00:00:07.520 Not anymore.
00:00:08.480 With FanDuel's Super Sub, if your player's subbed out, your bet stays in.
00:00:12.820 That's right.
00:00:13.380 If your player leaves the match, your bet continues on with the substitute,
00:00:17.560 so you're still in it until the final whistle.

00:01:00.100 Listen, all you New Yorkers.
00:01:02.640 You ain't taxi.
00:01:04.020 Okay, we're looking around.
00:01:05.320 This is the 77 WABC
00:01:08.380 minicast.
00:01:11.180 Let's go to
00:01:11.960 Scott from the great state of
00:01:13.700 Virginia. What's up, Scott?
00:01:16.340 Hey, I'm a banger of a show tonight,
00:01:17.940 ma'am. Thank you. I'm full of
00:01:19.420 piss and vinegar, I think they call it.
00:01:21.880 What's up?
00:01:22.360 So, you know, I'm a veteran.
00:01:25.560 I took very personally the...
00:01:27.480 Thank you for your service.
00:01:29.780 Thank you for your service, sir.
00:01:31.820 I was a Navy SEAL, a frogman in Vietnam.
00:01:36.140 Now I go to Baja, California to get off the grid.
00:01:41.600 Anyway, thanks, Scott.
00:01:42.440 Oh, Jesse.
00:01:43.600 Might as well.
00:01:45.160 Right on.
00:01:45.900 No, I take it personally, you know, and as a free speech absolutist,
00:01:49.540 I felt that we had a pretty well-written – except the left has a reading problem – a pretty well-written guideline to free speech.
00:01:57.600 And I think right now they need to be squeezed, and they need to feel – because as you yourself was very much on the point of the spear of cancel culture, they wielded that like a orangutan with a camshaft on a stick.
00:02:13.300 They just wielded it with extreme violence.
00:02:15.680 Now, the only way that they're going to understand this, if they cannot be made to think, they should be made to feel.
00:02:22.740 So they have to take their lumps until they capitulate and cry for a law that says, well, somewhat verifying our First Amendment, that you cannot be fired, dismissed whatsoever for personal health, political beliefs, period, anybody, no matter which way they lean left or right.
00:02:38.300 i.e. returning to the prior social contract in which we had where they can be leftist we can be
00:02:43.080 writers kind of like we grew up in the age of reason of the 70s and 80s you know the wonderful
00:02:47.280 time period well i think uh scott i i do believe that the businesses and the owners of these
00:02:55.240 businesses it's it seems pretty cyclical because now uh it seems the business owners doing the
00:03:01.880 firings are on the right they support free speech they supported people going out like charlie kirk 0.93
00:03:10.480 and and just talking uh and they're the ones firing these disgusting leftist mental patients 0.60
00:03:18.900 that aren't just voicing an opinion now like i said earlier does it does it merit them being 0.72
00:03:26.040 fired uh something that affects your your real life uh i don't know but they're on the other
00:03:34.020 side of it right now regardless of it's right or wrong or if it's truly uh an infringement on their
00:03:40.620 free speech or not they're feeling it they are seeing what it's like to be on the other side
00:03:46.160 of cancel culture and as a person i enjoy seeing it but as a free speech absolutist i'm still a
00:03:54.080 little on the fence wondering if this is a good thing or not because it'll come back eventually 0.68
00:04:00.200 and we'll get bitten in the ass for it so i don't know scott i say let's mutually agree to wrap this 0.90
00:04:07.840 up and uh you know re-enshrine that first amendment and you cannot be fired from your 0.98
00:04:12.960 workplace for expressing an opinion of any political stripe and uh we just go back to that's
00:04:18.480 the way it is we used to just have this nasty fight you know we used to just agree on that
00:04:23.600 and think like without any law have anybody be put in place we used to just agree on the fact
00:04:29.820 that we're going to have different opinions and let's not massacre each other because we have
00:04:35.140 different opinions now we we would need to put some type of legislation in place that says a
00:04:41.120 company can't fire you because of your ideology i i don't like the idea that we would have to do
00:04:47.020 that i would like to be a place where we understand i know i know i'm living in a
00:04:51.740 fantasy world here scott all right my friend thank you for the call i do appreciate it
00:04:58.000 uh we'll move on try to get to some other stuff here uh tonight let me take a look
00:05:04.600 oh fake news let's uh do a little fake news where's uh this uh now
00:05:12.120 Fake news, folks. Fake news.
00:05:13.880 It's the fake news.
00:05:15.320 Fake stories.
00:05:16.220 News moment.
00:05:18.440 I just love the way Trump says fake news and he goes fake stories.
00:05:23.480 This fake news segment is J.B. Pritzer.
00:05:28.820 This is your governor, your rotund governor of Illinois.
00:05:35.720 Illinois is pretty much, eh.
00:05:38.780 All we really hear from Illinois is Chicago.
00:05:41.280 it's like New York
00:05:42.940 New York is a pretty red state
00:05:45.700 but we only hear
00:05:48.160 about New York City
00:05:49.440 and Hochul
00:05:51.340 and Adams
00:05:53.020 but Illinois
00:05:55.720 is another one of these
00:05:57.760 states that a lot
00:06:00.060 of people in Illinois don't like
00:06:01.780 Pritzer 1.00
00:06:03.200 and their dumb 1.00
00:06:05.880 Mayor Brandon Johnson in Chicago 1.00
00:06:07.860 but that doesn't stop
00:06:09.980 them
00:06:11.280 Uh, here's JB Pritzer. This is fake news. He's on a podcast or a news show. And, um, he's another one of these guys that insists. Now we, we all know what the truth is. He insists that Donald J. Trump is the one that is defunding the police department.
00:06:37.320 Now, we we have been through years of watching liberal Democrats crying to defund the police after the the the George Floyd debacle and even the Mike Brown nonsense and all this crap. 0.67
00:06:58.520 All we heard from the Democrats was, oh, we we need to defund the police. 0.68
00:07:04.680 they all said it they all joined the protesters and said it and now that defund the police is out
00:07:11.900 of fashion because the democrats their their take now is to fake that they're about stopping crime
00:07:20.200 they're they're all about making the city safer because under their defund the police
00:07:27.180 and getting rid of bail and all that democrat nonsense the cities have become war zones
00:07:35.160 murder rape robbery assaults it is it is a terror to go into a major city in this country
00:07:44.960 so now they don't want to sound like they wanted to defund the police that means
00:07:50.560 unsafe cities and they won't take responsibility for that even though they're 100 responsible for
00:07:57.520 the the carnage going on in our major cities so here's jb pritzer big fat jb pritzer talking
00:08:06.220 about defunding the police and saying that donald trump is all about defunding police listen to this 0.99
00:08:13.260 garbage. Well, let's debunk the myth that that we have somehow defunded police. It's Donald Trump 0.97
00:08:20.880 that's defunded police. I've hired more police in Illinois. Donald Trump has taken all this money
00:08:26.920 away and not just from police and including, by the way, programs for local law enforcement. But
00:08:33.320 as you said, ATF, FBI, et cetera. Grants that were already appropriated, by the way.
00:08:38.600 Exactly. It's it's illegal what he's done. But he doesn't care. And he wants to create a problem. Remember, this is all about fomenting a problem so that he can bring militarization to our cities.
00:08:50.460 can you like any idiot can figure out what he's really saying here 0.99
00:08:59.140 donald trump defunded and then he he talks about his um his police and law enforcement budgets and 1.00
00:09:08.780 the fact that um programs are cut and and money comes out of the police department
00:09:15.580 look at what was cut
00:09:18.600 these are 1.00
00:09:21.080 the ridiculous liberal 0.99
00:09:23.040 programs that do 0.98
00:09:24.960 nothing to cut crime
00:09:26.660 nothing
00:09:28.060 these are the let's send
00:09:30.980 social workers 0.70
00:09:32.100 to violent domestic disputes
00:09:35.040 instead of police officers
00:09:36.700 and here's X amount of money
00:09:38.940 for that
00:09:39.500 and Doge and Trump looked at it
00:09:42.520 and Republicans in Illinois 0.93
00:09:44.980 Noi looked at it and just said, no, this is useless.
00:09:48.900 This is a waste of money.
00:09:50.900 And they cut it and then hopefully put it back in place as money to programs that really cut crime. 0.99
00:10:01.880 Not these garbage, Democrat, feel-good, nonsensical, do-nothing programs. 0.96
00:10:10.500 Take this as your sign to go. 1.00
