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 0.98

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 0.56

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 1.00

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

00:09:40.020 them all out.

00:10:11.040 weighing in

00:10:11.880 on the administration's

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 1.00

00:12:45.540 women, 1.00

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 0.52

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, 0.51

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 0.78

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. 0.99

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 0.80

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 1.00

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.

00:17:20.240 Brown ran 0.95

00:17:20.740 afoul of

00:17:21.440 the law

00:17:21.760 many times
