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.

00:00:55.960 Get started now. Let there be goals
00:00:58.040 this summer on FanDuel.
00:01:00.080 Listen, all you New Yorkers.
00:01:02.620 You ain't taxi.
00:01:04.020 Okay, then you want to look around.
00:01:05.320 This is the 77 WABC
00:01:08.360 Minicast.
00:01:10.500 We're talking about
00:01:11.660 Vance Bolter, the assassin
00:01:14.160 of
00:01:15.960 State Representative Minnesota
00:01:17.920 State Representative Melissa
00:01:19.660 Hortman. He also
00:01:21.760 shot Democratic State Senator John Hoffman and I believe Melissa Hortman's husband was also shot
00:01:30.240 and injured. He's on the loose. They don't know where he is. He escaped from the scene of the
00:01:37.640 crime and there's a manhunt. I love a good manhunt. The odd thing here is, again, the
00:01:47.700 misinformation disinformation i guess disinformation is when you purposely mislead
00:01:58.500 like mainstream media they give you misinformation is that what no disinformation
00:02:04.940 and then misinformation seems to be a mistake right is that the distinction between the two
00:02:10.380 I don't know. I'm just going to say disinformation because I think they're lying all the time.
00:02:18.580 So Melissa Hortman had just cast her vote on a bill, a Minnesota bill that included a lot of things. 0.88
00:02:28.460 But one thing in particular was to fund medical care for illegals in the state. 0.59
00:02:39.240 And she voted no on this because she wanted to fund illegals.
00:02:48.040 But on the whole, the whole bill, she wanted to vote no on.
00:02:53.180 So she had to vote no on that also.
00:02:56.080 She was crying about it.
00:02:57.560 I saw the clip of her after the vote crying that she had to make that vote.
00:03:03.440 I mean, can we just keep men in these jobs, please?
00:03:06.640 Stop with the crying. 0.99
00:03:09.080 And then this guy shoots her and kills her. 0.79
00:03:13.340 And he was apparently a guy that was very into these social causes.
00:03:17.480 I guess he went over to Africa and was helping out some Africans.
00:03:22.340 Not something you would normally see a conservative doing.
00:03:26.600 Yet I've heard people, again, the mis- or disinformation,
00:03:30.500 saying that he was a Trump supporter, a Republican, he's a MAGA guy,
00:03:36.120 but he had no King's Flyers in his vehicle, and none of it makes sense. 0.91
00:03:43.340 Again, there's so much garbage bull going around that no one knows the real story anymore.
00:03:51.300 I would assume if Governor Tim Walz had appointed him to anything, he's certainly not a MAGA guy. 0.97
00:03:58.220 I know that much.
00:04:00.040 But then there's this real strange thing.
00:04:03.760 This guy's married, got a wife, kids, a nice home.
00:04:10.180 He apparently was doing very well for himself, a lot of money.
00:04:15.880 And what do we got?
00:04:18.020 We got a roommate that got almost a love text from this guy that made the roommate cry.
00:04:28.980 What?
00:04:30.340 Huh?
00:04:31.280 Can we listen to some of this?
00:04:32.420 Here's the roommate of assassin, Vance Bolter.
00:04:39.140 So I just want to let you go.
00:04:41.220 I love you guys.
00:04:42.000 And I wish you hadn't gone this way.
00:04:46.000 I don't want to say anything more and implicate you in any way.
00:04:51.100 Because you guys don't know anything about this.
00:04:57.500 But I love you guys, and I'm sorry for all the trouble this has caused.
00:05:01.600 He was a loving, caring guy.
00:05:04.060 Loved his family, loved his friends, and loved God.
00:05:10.280 I don't know why he did what he did.
00:05:14.240 It's just, it's not bad.
00:05:16.860 No one will believe this.
00:05:19.700 No one that grew up.
00:05:20.580 He had lots of friends, trust me.
00:05:23.260 Trust me.
00:05:23.940 I wish I could have been there to stop him.
00:05:26.820 To help him shoot someone?
00:05:28.780 Huh?
00:05:29.260 You wish you could have been there?
00:05:31.240 This guy, by the way, if I may conjure an image for you, it's, you know, 2025,
00:05:36.420 so I'm sure you've seen him, but a fat guy, greasy hair.
00:05:40.220 He looks like any stereotypical guy you would think sits in his basement
00:05:45.460 playing role-play video games.
00:05:50.740 And why is – he's a roommate?
00:05:56.060 Is it a former roommate?
00:05:58.320 How long ago were they roommates?
00:06:00.520 This guy's married with kids and has a nice house.
00:06:06.400 What is it?
00:06:06.980 Hey, hon, I'm spending the night at the apartment with my roommate.
00:06:10.680 So none of that makes any sense.
00:06:13.820 And I believe a lot of people are getting this guy, like this Vance guy,
00:06:19.720 the Vance Bolter, what he's all about or what he was all about through this guy.
00:06:24.400 maybe 10, 12, 15, 20 years ago
00:06:28.360 he was roommates with this guy
00:06:30.240 and he had a certain political ideology
00:06:33.220 and now he does this
00:06:36.780 and the roommate's like
00:06:37.740 I don't know
00:06:39.200 why would he do this
00:06:41.880 you fruit
00:06:43.880 a safer Ontario
00:06:46.580 means more police and prosecutors
00:06:48.340 making sure my car doesn't get stolen
00:06:50.300 it means building new jails
00:06:52.180 to keep criminals behind bars
00:06:53.940 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.
00:06:57.800 We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.
