00:00:33.180 Good morning, everyone. I'm Emily Jashinsky, host of After Party,
00:00:37.160 filling in today for Megyn Kelly.
00:00:39.100 It's Friday, October 24th, 2025, and this is your AM Update.
00:00:43.940 The FBI led a coordinated takedown across 11 states
00:00:47.260 to arrest over 30 individuals today responsible for this case.
00:00:51.580 The FBI dropping two indictments relating to alleged gambling schemes
00:00:56.200 involving an NBA coach, player, and the mafia.
00:01:00.920 The shocking details coming up.
00:01:02.880 The cartels are the ISIS of the Western Hemisphere.
00:01:06.740 President Trump hosts a White House roundtable discussion
00:01:09.720 on the latest efforts to crack down on cartels.
00:01:13.300 NYC Mayor Eric Adams teams up with an unlikely ally,
00:01:17.580 and Irina Zorutska's alleged killer indicted.
00:01:20.480 All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update.
00:01:24.460 As President Trump is settling into his new administration,
00:01:31.240 one of the top Democrats in Congress aiming to undermine the Trump agenda
00:01:34.540 is Democrat Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois.
00:01:37.760 And according to our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition,
00:01:41.560 Senator Durbin has a new plan,
00:01:43.760 a government takeover of your credit card.
00:01:46.200 Today, Americans have thousands of choices in credit cards,
00:01:48.980 but they say Senator Durbin's plan will result in less competition
00:01:52.460 and less security,
00:01:53.960 which means more risk for your credit and your identity.
00:01:57.600 You can learn more for yourself at guardyourcard.com.
00:02:01.280 And you could consider telling your senators
00:02:03.520 to stop Dick Durbin's government takeover of your credit card
00:02:06.620 before it's too late.
00:02:11.220 The FBI arresting more than 30 people,
00:02:14.120 including an NBA coach and player,
00:02:16.500 as well as members of multiple mafia families
00:02:18.980 in a dramatic Thursday bust
00:02:20.980 across two major indictments.
00:02:24.160 Names you may know if you're an NBA fan,
00:02:26.600 among the busted,
00:02:28.080 Portland Trailblazers head coach
00:02:29.920 and former player Chauncey Billups,
00:02:32.200 current Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier,
00:02:34.200 former Cleveland Cavaliers assistant coach Damon Jones,
00:02:38.720 and the Bonanno, Genovese, Lucchese,
00:02:41.600 and Gambino crime families.
00:02:43.760 One indictment relating to insider sports betting
00:02:46.200 on NBA games,
00:02:47.840 the other related to rigged poker matches.
00:02:50.820 The details are scandalous.
00:02:52.660 FBI Director Cash Patel on Thursday
00:02:54.620 speaking to the scale of the operation.
00:02:57.440 This is an illegal gambling operation
00:02:59.380 and sports rigging operation
00:03:00.940 that spanned the course of years.
00:03:02.340 The FBI led a coordinated takedown
00:03:04.820 across 11 states
00:03:06.220 to arrest over 30 individuals today
00:03:08.560 responsible for this case,
00:03:10.300 which is very much ongoing.
00:03:11.740 The charges and the arrests
00:03:13.200 that were taken down across this country
00:03:14.700 range from wire fraud,
00:03:15.920 money laundering, extortion,
00:03:17.420 robbery, illegal gambling.
00:03:19.240 According to Director Patel,
00:03:20.960 the damage is totaling
00:03:21.920 in the tens of millions of dollars
00:03:24.280 in fraud, theft, and robbery.
00:03:26.680 First, the NBA cheating indictment.
00:03:29.240 According to the feds,
00:03:30.080 six defendants involved
00:03:31.820 in what U.S. Attorney Joseph Nacella
00:03:34.060 calls, quote,
00:03:34.960 one of the most brazen
00:03:36.400 sports corruption schemes
00:03:38.260 since online sports betting
00:03:39.880 became widely legalized
00:03:41.740 in the United States.
00:03:43.440 Rozier and Jones allegedly passing
00:03:45.300 non-public information
00:03:46.640 to the other co-defendants.
00:03:48.240 The non-public information
00:03:49.960 included when specific players
00:03:52.280 would be sitting out future games
00:03:53.940 or when they would pull themselves out
00:03:56.040 early for purported injuries
00:03:57.880 or illnesses.
00:03:58.940 And in at least one instance,
00:04:00.640 they got their information
00:04:01.620 by threatening a current player,
00:04:04.040 Porter,
00:04:04.720 because of his pre-existing
00:04:05.900 gambling bets.
00:04:07.220 Defendants used this
00:04:08.500 non-public information
00:04:09.820 to place hundreds of thousands
00:04:11.620 of dollars in fraudulent bets,
00:04:14.000 mostly in the form of prop bets
00:04:15.940 on individual player performance.
00:04:18.600 The bets were placed
00:04:19.580 through online sports books
00:04:21.120 and also in person at casinos.
00:04:23.700 The defendants then laundered
00:04:26.060 their illegal winnings
00:04:27.340 in various ways.
00:04:28.680 The defendants profited
00:04:29.760 from illegal gambling
00:04:31.300 and illegal betting
00:04:32.320 on various NBA games
00:04:34.120 about the performance
00:04:35.300 of players on,
00:04:36.640 among other things,
00:04:37.820 the Charlotte Hornets,
00:04:39.240 the Portland Trail Blazers,
00:04:41.100 the Los Angeles Lakers,
00:04:42.400 and the Toronto Rangers.
00:04:44.140 Each defendant in the NBA
00:04:45.620 basketball gambling case
00:04:47.100 has been charged
00:04:47.980 with conspiracy
00:04:48.740 to commit wire fraud
00:04:50.300 and conspiracy
00:04:51.380 to commit money laundering.
00:04:53.700 Rozier arrested in Orlando,
00:04:55.760 his attorney releasing a statement
00:04:57.020 reading in part,
00:04:58.560 Terry is not a gambler,
00:04:59.740 but he is not afraid of a fight
00:05:01.040 and he looks forward
00:05:01.800 to winning this fight.
00:05:03.620 In the other indictment,
00:05:04.620 authorities alleging
00:05:05.420 a multi-year,
00:05:06.260 multi-city operation
00:05:07.320 targeting so-called fish.
00:05:09.500 Victims lured in
00:05:10.700 by the chance to play
00:05:11.620 alongside former
00:05:12.600 professional athletes
00:05:13.680 known as face cards.
00:05:15.940 Those face cards
00:05:16.720 allegedly including
00:05:17.700 Chauncey Billups
00:05:18.620 and Damon Jones.
00:05:20.160 Prosecutors saying
00:05:20.960 what the victims didn't know
00:05:22.460 is that everyone else
00:05:24.020 at the table,
00:05:24.880 including the dealer,
00:05:25.960 were in on the scheme,
00:05:27.240 fleecing victims
00:05:28.240 out of tens to hundreds
00:05:29.860 of thousands of dollars
00:05:31.200 per game,
00:05:32.180 total profits
00:05:32.820 running up to $7 million.
00:05:35.180 U.S. Attorney Nocella
00:05:36.620 describing a sophisticated
00:05:38.020 cheating operation
00:05:39.120 netting 32 defendants.
00:05:41.400 They used off-the-shelf
00:05:43.480 shuffling machines
00:05:44.940 that had been secretly altered
00:05:47.240 in order to read
00:05:48.920 the cards in the deck,
00:05:50.540 predict which player
00:05:51.780 at the table
00:05:52.340 had the best poker hand,
00:05:54.180 and relay that information
00:05:55.420 to an off-site operator.
00:05:57.480 The off-site operator
00:05:58.860 sent the information
00:06:00.540 via cell phone
00:06:01.880 back to a co-conspirator
00:06:03.660 at the table,
00:06:05.100 and that person at the table
00:06:06.740 was known as
00:06:07.540 the quarterback.
00:06:08.240 The quarterback
00:06:09.520 then signaled secretly
00:06:11.920 the information
00:06:13.000 he had received
00:06:14.060 to others at the table,
00:06:16.780 and together
00:06:17.460 they used that information
00:06:18.900 in order to win their games
00:06:21.500 and to cheat the victims.
00:06:24.000 Defendants used
00:06:24.840 other cheating technologies
00:06:26.100 such as
00:06:27.200 poker chip tray analyzers,
00:06:29.820 which is a poker chip tray
00:06:31.200 that secretly reads cards
00:06:32.760 using a hidden camera,
00:06:34.560 special contact lenses
00:06:36.520 or eyeglasses
00:06:37.600 that could read
00:06:38.360 pre-marked cards,
00:06:39.640 and an x-ray table
00:06:41.360 that could read cards
00:06:42.600 face down on the table.
00:06:45.240 Charges stemming
00:06:46.360 from the operation
00:06:47.060 including wire fraud conspiracy,
00:06:49.240 operation of an illegal
00:06:50.440 gambling business,
00:06:51.580 money laundering conspiracy,
00:06:53.100 extortion conspiracy,
00:06:54.780 and robbery conspiracy.
00:06:56.840 Billups arrested
00:06:57.540 in Portland, Oregon,
00:06:59.140 charged with money laundering
00:07:00.680 and wire fraud conspiracy.
00:07:02.400 NYPD Commissioner
00:07:04.220 Jessica Tisch
00:07:05.020 describing the mafia element
00:07:06.760 of the alleged poker scheme.
00:07:08.440 These operatives
00:07:09.820 included capos
00:07:10.880 and multiple soldiers
00:07:11.860 from the Bonanno,
00:07:13.280 Gambino,
00:07:14.100 Lucchese,
00:07:14.820 and Genovese crime families.
00:07:16.800 Victims believed
00:07:17.520 that they were sitting
00:07:18.340 at a fair table.
00:07:19.300 Instead,
00:07:20.080 they were cheated
00:07:20.640 out of millions.
00:07:21.820 One victim
00:07:22.300 in particular
00:07:23.720 lost $1.8 million.
00:07:26.560 In total,
00:07:27.740 losses exceeded
00:07:28.700 $7 million
00:07:29.580 and continue to climb.
00:07:31.280 And when people
00:07:32.440 refused to pay,
00:07:34.260 these defendants
00:07:35.220 did what organized crime
00:07:36.860 has always done.
00:07:38.260 They used threats,
00:07:39.500 they used intimidation,
00:07:40.800 and they used violence.
00:07:42.480 The NBA releasing
00:07:43.820 a statement saying
00:07:44.540 Billups and Rozier
00:07:45.480 have been placed
00:07:46.260 on leave
00:07:47.000 from their teams.
00:07:48.260 According to court filings,
00:07:49.720 prosecutors are not
00:07:50.780 seeking to hold
00:07:51.500 Billups, Rozier,
00:07:52.760 or Jones
00:07:53.320 in custody
00:07:54.000 while they await trial.
00:07:55.520 They all face charges
00:07:56.560 that carry up to
00:07:57.260 20 years in prison.
00:08:01.280 Coming up,
00:08:01.820 President Trump
00:08:02.400 hosts top
00:08:03.380 administration officials
00:08:04.400 for a progress check
00:08:05.720 on the effort
00:08:06.380 to take down
00:08:07.140 cartel networks.
00:08:08.800 NYC Mayor
00:08:09.460 Eric Adams
00:08:10.160 endorses an old rival.
00:08:12.380 And Irina Zerutska's
00:08:13.660 alleged killer
00:08:14.360 formally indicted.
00:08:15.440 Did you know
00:08:20.980 that up until
00:08:21.760 the 1990s
00:08:22.620 all chips and fries
00:08:24.040 were cooked
00:08:24.840 in beef tallow?
00:08:25.860 Who knew?
00:08:26.420 Like when you were
00:08:26.940 scarfing down
00:08:27.640 that fast food
00:08:28.340 in the 80s,
00:08:29.180 that had been cooked
00:08:29.800 in beef tallow,
00:08:30.940 not in seed oils.
00:08:32.300 But then,
00:08:32.920 big food companies
00:08:33.880 made the switch
00:08:34.580 to cheap,
00:08:35.400 highly processed
00:08:36.040 seed oils,
00:08:36.860 and now they make
00:08:37.580 up to 20%
00:08:38.240 of the average
00:08:38.700 American's
00:08:39.440 daily calories.
00:08:40.620 This is why
00:08:41.260 I'm so excited
00:08:41.900 to tell you
00:08:42.380 about masa chips.
00:08:43.600 I love masa.
00:08:44.380 It's a chip
00:08:45.280 that's doing
00:08:45.760 things differently.
00:08:47.240 Masa chips
00:08:47.880 are made
00:08:48.500 with just
00:08:48.920 three ingredients.
00:08:50.100 Organic corn,
00:08:51.140 sea salt,
00:08:51.960 and 100%
00:08:52.820 grass-fed
00:08:53.640 beef tallow.
00:08:54.720 That's it.
00:08:55.620 No seed oils,
00:08:56.840 no junk.
00:08:57.780 They're delicious.
00:08:58.560 So like,
00:08:58.900 they're thicker,
00:09:00.240 they're crunchier,
00:09:01.080 they've got some
00:09:01.500 good salt on there.
00:09:02.800 And unlike
00:09:03.300 the regular chips,
00:09:04.180 you don't have to eat
00:09:04.820 like 30 of them
00:09:06.120 to feel sated.
00:09:07.120 You can have
00:09:07.920 like four masa chips
00:09:09.560 and you do feel sated.
00:09:11.180 You're good.
00:09:11.880 They're genuinely
00:09:12.520 tastier than
00:09:13.340 the other chips.
00:09:13.860 They don't break
00:09:14.560 in your guac
00:09:15.160 or salsa.
00:09:16.840 Plus,
00:09:17.240 they really leave you
00:09:17.920 feeling light,
00:09:19.220 satisfied,
00:09:19.820 and energized.
00:09:20.720 No crash,
00:09:21.800 no bloat.
00:09:23.000 Try them for yourself.
00:09:23.800 You're going to
00:09:24.060 taste the difference.
00:09:25.020 Personally,
00:09:25.420 my favorite flavor
00:09:26.360 of the masa,
00:09:27.460 I like the white corn.
00:09:29.000 I've been into that.
00:09:29.740 That's been good.
00:09:30.720 And the original
00:09:31.320 is delicious too.
00:09:32.340 My son really loves
00:09:33.360 the lime
00:09:34.040 and my other two kids
00:09:35.620 eat all of them.
00:09:36.380 So check them out
00:09:37.320 for yourself.
00:09:37.740 You can get the variety pack
00:09:38.820 and so you can try

00:10:02.600 President Trump
00:10:06.760 holding a roundtable
00:10:08.000 discussion yesterday
00:10:08.840 at the White House

00:10:13.700 drug cartels.
00:10:15.340 On day one
00:10:16.060 of the second administration,
00:10:17.460 President Trump
00:10:17.980 signing an executive order
00:10:19.560 designating cartels
00:10:21.060 and transnational gangs
00:10:22.680 as foreign terrorist
00:10:23.920 organizations.
00:10:25.500 The move allowing
00:10:26.480 greater coordination
00:10:27.320 across agencies
00:10:28.220 and unlocking
00:10:29.140 new counterterrorism tools,
00:10:30.880 including sanctions
00:10:31.980 and asset freezes
00:10:33.200 aimed at dismantling
00:10:34.960 the crime networks
00:10:35.880 inside the U.S.
00:10:37.140 and abroad.
00:10:38.300 President Trump
00:10:38.940 kicking off
00:10:39.460 yesterday's gathering,
00:10:40.780 defining the threat
00:10:41.720 in no uncertain terms.
00:10:43.660 It should now be clear
00:10:44.780 to the entire world
00:10:45.980 that the cartels
00:10:46.980 are the ISIS
00:10:47.880 of the Western Hemisphere
00:10:49.540 in addition to
00:10:50.520 their monstrous violence
00:10:52.320 such as cutting off
00:10:53.620 heads,
00:10:54.640 burning their enemies
00:10:55.860 alive,
00:10:57.000 and burning
00:10:57.600 innocent people alive
00:10:58.980 too, by the way.
00:10:59.800 The cartels
00:11:01.000 control large swaths
00:11:02.420 of territory.
00:11:03.360 They maintain
00:11:03.840 vast arsenals
00:11:04.900 of weapons
00:11:05.480 and soldiers,
00:11:06.400 and they use
00:11:06.920 extortion,
00:11:08.260 murder,
00:11:08.660 kidnapping
00:11:09.120 to exercise
00:11:10.640 political
00:11:11.220 and economic
00:11:11.780 control.
00:11:12.600 Thank you very much,
00:11:13.480 Joe Biden,
00:11:14.200 for allowing that
00:11:15.100 to happen.
00:11:16.160 Attorney General
00:11:16.840 Pam Bondi
00:11:17.680 laying out
00:11:18.300 some facts
00:11:18.980 and figures.
00:11:20.300 More than
00:11:20.960 3,200
00:11:22.100 violent gangs
00:11:24.440 and drug dealers
00:11:25.480 have been
00:11:26.040 taken off
00:11:27.180 the streets.
00:11:28.540 Ninety-one
00:11:29.660 tons of drugs
00:11:31.600 have been seized
00:11:32.860 as a result
00:11:33.660 of this task force.
00:11:35.040 We tried to put
00:11:36.020 this in perspective
00:11:36.860 for you.
00:11:38.000 This would be
00:11:38.720 filling
00:11:39.320 four 18-wheelers,
00:11:42.040 four,
00:11:42.980 all the drugs
00:11:43.840 just in the last month
00:11:45.040 that have been
00:11:45.460 taken off the streets.
00:11:47.120 58,000 kilos
00:11:49.200 of cocaine.
00:11:50.740 Think about
00:11:51.140 a big backyard
00:11:52.000 swimming pool.
00:11:53.300 That would fill
00:11:54.120 one and a half
00:11:55.280 swimming pools.
00:11:56.100 Just the powder
00:11:57.640 cocaine
00:11:58.260 that has been
00:11:59.320 removed
00:11:59.800 saving lives
00:12:00.740 this last month
00:12:01.600 thanks to all
00:12:02.580 of these people
00:12:03.160 around the table.
00:12:04.460 2,300 kilos
00:12:05.920 of fentanyl powder
00:12:07.280 and 2.1 million
00:12:10.340 fentanyl pills
00:12:11.840 off the streets.
00:12:13.900 And as the president
00:12:14.520 said,
00:12:14.900 more than 1,000
00:12:15.900 illegal guns.
00:12:17.480 Director of National
00:12:18.280 Intelligence
00:12:18.820 Tulsi Gabbard
00:12:19.540 discussing how
00:12:20.200 newly formed
00:12:21.020 intel-sharing
00:12:21.980 operations
00:12:22.720 led to the arrest
00:12:23.940 of one of Mexico's
00:12:25.320 most vicious criminals.
00:12:27.060 I'll say the last
00:12:28.300 example I'll share
00:12:29.160 is probably
00:12:30.000 the most insidious
00:12:31.360 was providing
00:12:32.480 intelligence
00:12:33.040 to the Mexican
00:12:33.680 law enforcement
00:12:34.540 that led
00:12:35.520 to the arrest
00:12:36.380 of a CJNG
00:12:38.160 cartel-affiliated
00:12:39.220 baby trafficker
00:12:40.040 called La Diablo.
00:12:41.660 Her whole
00:12:42.260 money-making
00:12:42.880 operation was
00:12:43.840 centered around
00:12:44.500 luring pregnant
00:12:45.540 women,
00:12:46.480 performing illegal
00:12:47.300 C-sections,
00:12:48.280 harvesting organs,
00:12:49.380 and selling
00:12:50.600 newborn babies.
00:12:52.700 Secretary of War
00:12:53.620 Pete Hegseth
00:12:54.440 doubling down
00:12:55.380 on one of the
00:12:56.080 White House's
00:12:56.640 most controversial
00:12:57.860 cartel-fighting
00:12:59.100 initiatives,
00:13:00.160 launching strikes
00:13:01.020 on suspected
00:13:02.120 drug boats.
00:13:03.340 Yesterday,
00:13:03.840 Secretary Hegseth
00:13:04.620 announcing the
00:13:05.660 ninth strike
00:13:06.600 against a vessel,
00:13:07.980 this one killing
00:13:08.640 three people.
00:13:09.500 These are
00:13:10.340 designated
00:13:10.980 terrorist
00:13:11.960 organizations,
00:13:13.180 foreign terrorist
00:13:14.060 organizations.
00:13:14.880 Our generation
00:13:15.600 spent the better
00:13:16.520 part of two decades
00:13:17.480 hunting Al-Qaeda,
00:13:19.220 hunting ISIS.
00:13:20.640 Well, as the
00:13:21.040 president said,
00:13:22.020 this is the ISIS,
00:13:23.380 this is the Al-Qaeda
00:13:24.180 of the Western
00:13:25.280 Hemisphere.
00:13:26.200 They intimidate,
00:13:27.140 they terrorize,
00:13:28.420 they extort,
00:13:29.580 they poison
00:13:30.280 the American people.
00:13:31.420 The president's
00:13:31.880 right,
00:13:32.120 every boat we
00:13:32.760 strike is 25,000
00:13:34.180 Americans whose
00:13:35.160 lives are saved
00:13:36.040 because of the
00:13:36.820 drugs that were
00:13:37.320 headed in our
00:13:38.120 direction.
00:13:38.980 So our message
00:13:39.620 to these foreign
00:13:40.680 terrorist organizations
00:13:41.780 is we will treat
00:13:43.140 you like we have
00:13:44.300 treated Al-Qaeda.
00:13:46.100 We will find
00:13:46.820 you,
00:13:47.480 we will map
00:13:48.140 your networks,
00:13:49.220 we will hunt
00:13:49.940 you down,
00:13:50.920 and we will
00:13:51.560 kill you.
00:13:52.580 Critics slamming
00:13:53.620 the strikes as
00:13:54.380 exceeding White
00:13:55.100 House authority
00:13:55.700 and denying
00:13:56.480 due process
00:13:57.120 rights.
00:13:57.920 Colombian
00:13:58.340 President
00:13:58.700 Gustavo Petro
00:13:59.620 recently accusing
00:14:00.660 the White House
00:14:01.300 of taking out
00:14:02.220 a fisherman.
00:14:03.340 One reporter
00:14:04.120 asking about
00:14:05.120 the vessels.
00:14:06.140 We know
00:14:06.640 everything about
00:14:07.440 them.
00:14:08.140 We know
00:14:09.080 where they're
00:14:10.040 coming from,
00:14:11.140 who they're
00:14:11.900 coming with,
00:14:12.860 generally who's
00:14:13.780 in the boat.
00:14:14.400 But when you
00:14:14.820 see five engines
00:14:15.720 on a boat
00:14:16.280 going about
00:14:17.440 65 miles
00:14:18.360 an hour,
00:14:19.320 loaded up
00:14:19.800 with white
00:14:20.640 powder in
00:14:21.940 silver cases,
00:14:23.520 generally speaking,
00:14:24.600 that's not a good
00:14:25.340 sign.
00:14:26.160 They're not going
00:14:26.780 fishing, right?
00:14:27.660 Likewise,
00:14:28.440 generally you don't
00:14:29.220 see fishing in
00:14:30.700 submarines either,
00:14:32.340 sir.
00:14:32.480 New York Mayor
00:14:36.440 Eric Adams
00:14:37.160 endorsing former
00:14:38.280 Democrat and
00:14:38.980 independent
00:14:39.420 mayoral candidate,
00:14:40.680 former New York
00:14:41.360 Governor Andrew
00:14:42.240 Cuomo to succeed
00:14:43.440 him.
00:14:44.100 Adams dropping
00:14:44.800 out of the race
00:14:45.380 last month after
00:14:46.380 trailing far
00:14:47.120 behind Cuomo
00:14:47.800 and current
00:14:48.520 frontrunner,
00:14:49.400 Democrat nominee
00:14:50.180 Zoran Mamdani.
00:14:51.880 Adams soft
00:14:52.600 launching the
00:14:53.200 endorsement on
00:14:53.900 Wednesday night,
00:14:54.860 appearing courtside
00:14:55.680 with Cuomo at
00:14:56.660 the next season
00:14:57.440 opener.
00:14:58.520 On Thursday,
00:14:59.340 Adams officially
00:15:00.220 throwing his
00:15:00.840 support behind
00:15:01.900 Cuomo.
00:15:02.260 So,
00:15:02.480 Am I angry
00:15:03.940 that I'm not
00:15:04.800 the one taking
00:15:05.580 down Doran,
00:15:06.740 the socialists
00:15:07.720 and the communists?
00:15:08.800 You're darn right
00:15:09.420 I am.
00:15:10.140 But you know
00:15:10.660 what?
00:15:11.080 This city means
00:15:11.840 more to me
00:15:12.740 than anything.
00:15:14.100 And it is time
00:15:15.100 for us as a
00:15:16.100 family to come
00:15:17.020 together.
00:15:18.000 I'm fighting
00:15:18.520 for the family
00:15:19.680 of New York.
00:15:21.160 That's why I'm
00:15:21.800 here today to
00:15:22.720 endorse Andrew
00:15:23.920 Cuomo to be
00:15:25.200 part of this
00:15:25.820 fight.
00:15:26.480 And I'm going
00:15:26.820 to give it my
00:15:27.440 all these next
00:15:28.400 few days to
00:15:29.880 make sure that
00:15:31.060 black and
00:15:32.120 brown communities
00:15:33.160 specifically who
00:15:34.420 have believed
00:15:35.420 there's nothing
00:15:36.120 at stake in
00:15:37.040 this election
00:15:38.040 for them.
00:15:38.860 It is.
00:15:40.060 Well, you
00:15:40.560 criticized Andrew
00:15:41.920 and you called
00:15:42.560 them names.
00:15:43.300 You know what?
00:15:43.740 And he called
00:15:44.240 me names.
00:15:45.360 But you know
00:15:45.780 what?
00:15:46.440 Now it's time
00:15:47.140 to fight for
00:15:47.720 the family.
00:15:48.580 And I'm going to
00:15:48.900 fight for the
00:15:49.480 family with
00:15:50.800 Andrew Cuomo
00:15:51.720 as the next
00:15:52.620 mayor of the
00:15:53.320 city of New York.
00:15:53.960 The mayor
00:15:54.940 planning to
00:15:55.600 campaign for
00:15:56.180 Cuomo in
00:15:56.700 neighborhoods
00:15:57.100 where Adams
00:15:57.760 is most
00:15:58.580 popular.
00:15:59.520 Cuomo's poll
00:16:00.060 numbers climbing
00:16:00.840 by 10 points
00:16:01.800 following Adams'
00:16:02.760 exit from the
00:16:03.380 race, but the
00:16:04.480 disgraced former
00:16:05.180 governor still
00:16:05.800 trailing by
00:16:06.580 double digits.
00:16:07.760 A new poll
00:16:08.340 by AARP and
00:16:09.520 Gotham Polling
00:16:10.540 and Analytics
00:16:11.180 finding Momdani
00:16:12.120 at 43%,
00:16:13.540 Cuomo at
00:16:14.760 29%,
00:16:16.000 and Republican
00:16:16.940 Curtis Sliwa
00:16:17.620 at 19%.
00:16:19.000 If Sliwa were
00:16:20.420 to drop out,
00:16:21.400 the gap closes
00:16:22.100 significantly with
00:16:23.620 Momdani at
00:16:24.340 44.6% and
00:16:26.320 Cuomo at
00:16:27.080 40.7%.
00:16:29.100 Sliwa says he
00:16:30.000 will not drop
00:16:30.860 out under any
00:16:31.820 circumstance.
00:16:33.160 Election day
00:16:33.680 is November
00:16:34.360 4th.
00:16:37.340 Irina Zerutska's
00:16:38.460 alleged killer
00:16:39.220 to Carlos
00:16:39.820 Brown Jr.
00:16:40.740 formally indicted
00:16:41.860 Wednesday by a
00:16:42.860 federal grand
00:16:43.620 jury.
00:16:44.520 Brown charged
00:16:45.080 with violence
00:16:45.760 against a
00:16:46.420 railroad carrier
00:16:47.240 and mass
00:16:47.960 transportation system
00:16:49.160 resulting in
00:16:49.980 death.
00:16:50.840 According to
00:16:51.300 the indictment,
00:16:52.100 Brown acted
00:16:52.900 with, quote,
00:16:53.460 reckless disregard
00:16:54.420 for human life.
00:16:55.820 He is eligible
00:16:56.720 for the death
00:16:57.300 penalty.
00:16:58.360 This charge
00:16:58.840 is in addition
00:16:59.340 to a state
00:17:00.140 charge of
00:17:00.820 first-degree
00:17:01.320 murder.
00:17:02.300 Brown was
00:17:02.720 due back
00:17:03.260 in court
00:17:03.620 yesterday
00:17:03.980 for a
00:17:04.540 hearing
00:17:04.960 to determine
00:17:05.880 death penalty
00:17:06.540 eligibility on
00:17:07.340 the state
00:17:07.700 charge,
00:17:08.300 but it was
00:17:08.820 postponed
00:17:09.140 until April
00:17:09.840 2026 for
00:17:11.000 reasons that
00:17:11.500 are not yet
00:17:12.260 clear.
00:17:13.280 The stabbing
00:17:13.840 death of
00:17:14.180 the 23-year-old
00:17:15.180 Ukrainian
00:17:15.580 refugee occurring
00:17:16.480 on August
00:17:17.100 22nd on a
00:17:18.520 Charlotte light
00:17:19.100 rail.
