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.
00:00:19.820 Visit FanDuel.com.

00:00:55.960 Get started now. Let there be goals
00:00:58.040 this summer on FanDuel.
00:01:00.080 Listen, all you New Yorkers.
00:01:02.600 You ain't taxi.
00:01:04.020 Okay, then we're looking around.
00:01:05.320 This is the 77 WABC
00:01:08.360 minicast.
00:01:10.520 If
00:01:11.160 alternative energy like solar and
00:01:13.780 wind was efficient,
00:01:16.440 that'd be great.
00:01:17.720 Some places can use those
00:01:20.060 alternative
00:01:22.240 energy sources
00:01:23.420 And it's wonderful. You're out in the desert. You want to put up some panels. That's fantastic. It'd be great if you're in a valley that the wind whips through and you put up a windmill. Awesome. But these aren't energy sources that you can transport somewhere. And that's, I think, what people don't really understand.
00:01:43.760 You could take a truck full of coal, a train, huge trains full of coal, and take it from one side of the country to the other, and all that energy can be used.
00:01:55.300 You can't do that with wind or solar.
00:01:58.840 You can't put it in a battery.
00:02:00.140 Batteries are unbelievably inefficient in converting energy from one area to another and transporting it with a battery.
00:02:11.580 It's terrible.
00:02:12.120 And we are really good at keeping coal and oil as clean as is humanly possible.
00:02:21.460 You'll look at some of the pollution that was around some of these big cities, especially L.A., which had that smog problem many years ago.
00:02:31.300 They don't really get that a lot now because the energy, the cars, everything is a lot more efficient and a lot cleaner than it used to be.
00:02:39.920 And why the hell should we sacrifice this amazing energy resources we have in this country when India and China and so many of these other third world nations are spewing some of the worst gases and waste into the atmosphere?
00:02:59.480 And we're good.
00:03:00.340 We're the ones that make sure it's cleaned up as clean as it can be.
00:03:05.900 So why?
00:03:07.000 Why should we sacrifice it?
00:03:08.140 It's great to have a president that sees that, you know, and isn't willing to give in to the left.
00:03:18.440 So I love it.
00:03:19.760 Thank you, Donald, once again.
00:03:21.860 Who's this?
00:03:22.320 Silas?
00:03:23.100 Is that your name?
00:03:23.940 Silas from Staten Island?
00:03:25.680 Silas?
00:03:26.200 Silas.
00:03:26.880 Silly.
00:03:27.460 Yeah.
00:03:27.840 Because you're silly.
00:03:29.220 You're silly, Jerry.
00:03:30.800 The one thing with, as far as running a store.
00:03:35.320 Yeah.
00:03:35.560 You could ask cats and Mercedes about it.
00:03:38.140 It's called shrinkage.
00:03:40.140 Those shelves would be empty so fast, even if it was for a profit.
00:03:45.160 And then they would come in there, steal everything, and sell it.
00:03:49.320 If the state took over the drug trade, they would lose money.
00:03:53.240 Yeah, yeah.
00:03:53.980 They would lose money.
00:03:56.120 I mean, how much money do you think New York state is making with these,
00:04:01.600 or any state, really, with their prescription marijuana?
00:04:06.060 They're there. You know, you have your pot card and you go to the dispensary and you get it.
00:04:12.780 Are they making the incredible amount of money on taxes that they said they were going to make?
00:04:19.400 Exactly. I wanted to suggest to you, if you pull up the Gap Band, that song called You Dropped a Bomb on Me.
00:04:26.160 I remember that one.
00:04:27.000 It would be appropriate.
00:04:29.480 I could give you the phone call that Donald Trump gave to the mullers.
00:04:34.420 he went all ghetto on him and he said okay yo my nizzle if you mess with another american
00:04:41.860 i just proved to you that i can fly into your country open a can of what bass on you and get
00:04:49.300 back home and you know that's right so call me mac daddy because homie don't play that i think we
00:04:56.940 saw you know and they said oh you know this man ain't playing yeah i think that's what we saw you
00:05:02.800 And it seems like the ceasefire is holding, and we'll see what happens.
00:05:07.900 But America's involvement in that, over and above just giving the resources to Israel and the missiles and everything else,
00:05:15.560 like our direct involvement was very limited, very surgical.
00:05:20.340 And then Iran kind of sent some missiles, called the bases in advance, and shot off some things off target and went,
00:05:27.720 yeah, see, we're tough, and that fixed it.
00:05:30.880 It was the end.
00:05:31.360 What happened to World War III?
00:05:32.800 We were supposed to have World War III, and that didn't pan out.
00:05:36.360 Those mullers know that he knows where they live.
00:05:39.120 Yeah, yeah, I know.
00:05:40.340 They get a missile right through their window.
00:05:43.240 They want to send people to die, but they don't want to die.
00:05:46.280 Thank you, Silas, as I've been corrected.
00:05:51.140 Silas.
00:05:51.760 Jerry, Jerry from Jersey, what's up, sir?
00:05:56.060 Anthony, I just wanted to ask you,
00:05:57.600 Why do the Republicans do such a terrible job fighting that basic ideology of the left on climate?
00:06:05.900 I mean, Joe Biden used to go around all the time saying that he was saving the planet, that there was this existential threat.
00:06:14.300 That was the big line.
00:06:16.260 It's an existential threat.
00:06:18.100 And then they keep pushing the goalposts further and further.
00:06:21.020 In 10 years, we won't have this, this.
00:06:23.480 Florida will be underwater.
00:06:24.680 And then 10 years comes about, and we're supposed to forget about it.
00:06:27.360 And then they just say another 10 years and, you know, call them out on this.
00:06:31.140 Yeah.
00:06:32.480 Yeah, I mean, we should just lay it down that there is no emergency.
00:06:35.960 There is no crisis.
00:06:37.740 That the current warming that's taken place is perfectly normal.
00:06:41.200 And the idea that CO2 controls climate and all the Earth's temperatures is just ridiculous.
00:06:50.600 I mean, there's no science there at all.
00:06:52.440 You know, when they married this junk science to the feckless politicians, we are just blowing so much money and opportunity with this junk science.
00:07:04.340 It's incredible.
00:07:05.060 Yeah, I mean, it does seem promising that Trump pulled out of the Paris Accord and, you know, a lot of these climate change bills that they try to pass are shot down now.
00:07:17.500 And I think more people are saying, especially conservatives, obviously, that are saying, yeah, we're not doing this.
00:07:24.900 And they seem to back off a little bit.
00:07:28.140 But it is junk science.
00:07:30.820 Whenever you try to refute it with someone, they'll go, oh, you know more than a scientist?
00:07:35.940 What, a paid, a bought and paid for scientist that is agenda driven or proof positive?
00:07:44.520 You know, where is the proof that the the sea levels are rising?
00:07:49.360 You could see photos from over 100 years ago of a coastline that hasn't budged.
00:07:56.660 And they will insist that sea levels are rising.
00:08:01.420 Prove it.
00:08:02.360 They've never proven one of these claims that climate is an existential threat.
00:08:10.240 I mean, they're always changing.
00:08:11.980 You know, 65 million years ago, the shoreline of New Jersey was Freehold.
00:08:17.620 That's where the dinosaurs were hanging out.
00:08:20.000 So the idea, you know, it's crazy.
00:08:23.760 Thanks, Jerry.
00:08:25.760 Yeah, obviously things change.
00:08:30.260 The Earth's crust moves and erosion, things like that.
00:08:37.760 But it's not because the sea levels are rising because of that existential threat of climate change.
00:08:47.040 And it's just the usual clowns.
00:08:49.840 Who's that?
00:08:50.600 Greta Thunberg.
00:08:51.900 She went from climate change to she's a supporter of Palestine and Palestinians and then something else.
00:09:01.660 You know, that's what these people do.
00:09:03.400 They're like locusts.
00:09:04.920 They go to one place, destroy whatever's in their way, and then move on to something else.
00:09:10.220 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.
00:09:16.960 It takes you to winding streets, spontaneous detours, and the realization that neither of you is actually good with directions.
00:09:26.080 And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short,
00:09:30.660 Welcome aboard KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
00:09:32.660 Our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.
00:09:36.680 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
00:09:38.620 When you travel, travel well.
00:09:41.180 A safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my car doesn't get stolen.
00:09:46.300 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.
00:09:49.800 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.
00:09:53.160 We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.
00:09:57.840 That's how we protect Ontario.
00:09:59.660 For all of us.
