00:00:03.320
Because Stephen A. had a complete different take on this.
00:00:07.040
And by the way, when I said Adam Silver, the commissioner of the NBA go to that,
00:00:15.420
And he talked about legalized betting to monitor.
00:00:19.060
So nobody knew why Adam Silver all of a sudden is going on Pat McAfee.
00:00:23.120
And then two days later, Cash does what he does.
00:00:25.540
But here's what first take Stephen A. had to say in regards to this.
00:00:30.620
For one incident after another, have I said Trump is coming?
00:00:39.560
I'm going to say it on national television again.
00:00:44.960
And all of a sudden, you're hearing ICE is going to be there.
00:00:57.440
So that has now been smeared because we're talking about this story.
00:01:03.460
Remember, Trump has a long, long history connected to the world of sports because he had those casinos.
00:01:09.060
Where do you think folks were coming at half the time?
00:01:24.820
Because don't be surprised if the WNBA is next on his list.
00:01:30.600
Because when you've got all of these protests that have been going out there.
00:01:34.020
And people that have been protesting against him and what have you.
00:01:43.040
And to me, this is the latest nugget of evidence that we're talking about right here.
00:01:47.360
That's not to question the legitimacy of the case.
00:01:51.480
We're all sitting up here and we're saying that we don't know.
00:01:54.300
He continues to say he's coming to the NBA, to WNBA, to NFL, to this, to a few different things.
00:01:58.820
Vinny, where are you at with what Stephen A's saying?
00:02:01.560
And I know he's probably going to make a video going, Vinny, I don't give up what you think.
00:02:13.080
To think that Donald Trump, with all the stuff that he has going on.
00:02:16.840
He is out there going, hey, go after the NBA and make a kick.
00:02:38.120
This started under the Autopend administration.
00:02:44.620
My beef is, listen, I'm not saying I can care less, but sports schmorts.
00:02:48.360
All right, Virginia Gouffre, her book came out where she's saying, well-known prime minister
00:02:53.780
and all these billionaires raped, sex traffic, beat her, bloody, nobody, eh, sports.
00:03:02.620
When it comes to it, I understand why Stephen A.
00:03:14.180
Tom, did you know that, guess who just signed a deal recently with the NBA from 2025-26 season
00:03:29.760
Yeah, ESPN that's currently sitting in the office going, man, I don't know.
00:03:36.320
So I get it that he has to have this attitude, but to say that Trump is purposely doing this
00:03:47.720
I want Trump to go after everybody, meaning the Brennans, the Obamas, the Hillary, the
00:03:58.360
But to have this, bro, this goes back to the mafia.
00:04:04.220
What clip do you have of the way they were doing the gambling thing?
00:04:07.640
Pat, this is a POV through the glasses of how, because Chauncey and all these guys are accused
00:04:18.320
Look into the glasses of how you can look at the card.
00:04:36.060
And mind you, but again, put the Trump crap aside for two seconds.
00:04:43.120
Somebody that's like, oh, they're going to win.
00:04:59.520
And then all of a sudden, boom, they take it off.
00:05:04.760
But again, going back to Trump, everything has to go to Trump.
00:05:27.120
I love Stephen A., but Cash came at you, buddy.
00:05:30.240
He's like, while you're pulling it up, I can summarize it.
00:05:32.820
He goes, that's the dumbest thing I ever heard.
00:05:43.880
Stephen A. Smith, the sports commentator, suggested that this was revenge from the president
00:05:50.060
for all the kind of left-wing activism of the NBA.
00:05:56.300
I decide which arrest to conduct and which not to conduct.
00:05:59.220
That may be the single dumbest thing I've ever heard out of anyone in modern history.
00:06:14.560
Do you think, do you think, because yeah, LeBron, all them, BLM, bashing him, Popovich,
00:06:21.820
everybody talking shit, and bashing Trump for all the years.
00:06:33.500
Like Trump, with all the shit that he's doing, with all the peace deals, with the border,
00:06:37.440
with tariffs, he's sitting there worrying about the NBA.
00:06:43.280
But this is still something serious, where there's money involved, and the mafia is back.
00:06:51.800
You think all the families went, oh, because Giuliani came and did all this.
00:06:55.600
No, no, those families are still around, and they're still doing their thing.
00:06:58.220
P.B., I want to get your perspective on the mafia, for sure.
00:07:00.360
I don't know if you spoke with Michael or Sam or these guys, but let me give you my perspective
00:07:03.700
on the NBA, and I've spoken with some NBA friends of mine.
00:07:07.220
And, you know, the NBA stands for National Basketball Association.
00:07:10.760
It also stands for no betting allowed, which nobody abides by.
00:07:15.240
You know, you talk about bringing Michael Jordan back.
00:07:17.000
This is the worst time to bring Michael Jordan back, because the one blemish on his career
00:07:20.340
was the alleged gambling thing that he did that led him to baseball for a few years.
00:07:25.260
But the NBA definitely has a culture of gambling problem.
00:07:27.960
Here's Shaq right here basically saying, listen, someone who played 19 seasons in the league,
00:07:32.160
I have teammates in Vegas, and they clarified, I don't think I want to sit up here and be
00:07:41.920
I don't want to sit up here and act like I'm some perfect guy, and then I'll go to Vegas,
00:07:48.100
The problem is where it gets sort of, like, masqueraded as, like, what's right?
00:07:58.340
It's all sort of intermingled into the culture of sports and sports betting.
00:08:03.000
But if I can be specific about Trump, the reason that Trump has no involvement in this
00:08:07.200
is because there's been two separate operations ongoing for years.
00:08:10.600
The one operation, which Chauncey Phillips is involved in, is called Operation Royal Flush,
00:08:17.600
The second investigation was something called Operation Nothing But Net, which is the Terry
00:08:22.540
Rozier, and the Damon Jones thing, which is basically, take the under in the bet, because
00:08:34.020
It's all these, like, run by the mafia, these x-ray glasses, these special things that are
00:08:42.360
Chauncey, it would seem to me, by the way, if you ask me who my top five ever players ever,
00:08:50.500
Isaiah Thomas, Chauncey Phillips, D-Wade, straight up.
00:08:55.860
Chauncey was nothing more than a bait of a lure to get famous, or sorry, rich people to
00:09:11.060
We're going to bring someone like Chauncey to come in.
00:09:13.520
Like, you said you played with Vince Vaughn or all these people, these names.
00:09:16.480
So, all these rich people, believe me, nobody's broke at this table.
00:09:23.720
You're losing $10 million bucks, and you come back the next night.
00:09:26.140
Some of these guys were excited to lose to a famous person like Chauncey.
00:09:33.440
The second thing is a little weirder, because now you're talking about actual players and
00:09:37.800
actual games who are doing things, potentially, that are hindering the game.
00:09:43.840
So, Terry's one thing, and I know Terry plays in Miami.
00:09:49.000
Because we're rehashing the same thing three times.
00:09:54.980
Do you know the one thing that you could say about Damon Jones' career?
00:09:58.120
And most people have never even heard about him.
00:10:02.080
He is as attached to LeBron as any player, potentially.
00:10:05.120
He played with Shaq in 2005, 2006, played for the Heat.
00:10:13.660
Goes to the finals with LeBron, I believe, in 2007.
00:10:17.020
And then I believe he was one of the coaches on the championship team.
00:10:22.160
Don't be shocked if this goes all the way to LeBron.
00:10:25.500
And I'm not saying LeBron had anything to do with it.
00:10:30.060
and whatever LeBron is working on trying to get a team in Vegas
00:10:32.840
gets severely affected by his relationship with Damon Jones.
00:10:36.760
So, the part where what Stephen A. is saying is that I agree with
00:10:45.680
Yeah, I think the investigation started two years ago
00:10:47.760
and all of a sudden now it's coming up to a point like this.
00:10:49.640
But the part with Trump, you know, with the FBI talking about this,
00:10:54.520
when Tim Donahue got caught, was it FBI going on the public and announcing it?
00:11:04.940
Should we do a press conference or not do a press conference?
00:11:07.560
Do I think Trump would say do a press conference?
00:11:09.820
Yeah, I think Trump would say do a press conference.
00:11:11.780
You think Cash is doing that press conference without getting approval by Trump?
00:11:15.540
Trump's going to give the approval on that press conference.
00:11:17.880
And on top of that, with the whole thing when, you know, Trump, NBA finals,
00:11:23.260
everything that was going on with COVID, all that stuff that they did.
00:11:26.600
Yeah, all that BLM and, you know, end racism bullshit that they kept re-igniting racism.
00:11:33.880
Yeah, I think that part, remember, LeBron called the president a bum.
00:11:44.760
You know, yeah, the president has a very long memory.
00:11:50.120
He's going to remember when he said that, you know, a bum after Steph Curry.
00:11:58.120
He called him a bum after the whole Steph Curry thing.
00:12:01.040
If that's what you want to do, Michael never did that.
00:12:07.620
You're the face of the league and you're using the NBA to do this.
00:12:09.780
No wonder today I'm in the car talking to my guy and my guy is saying the fact that
00:12:14.180
he can't wait for the date that LeBron retires and leaves the game.
00:12:19.460
So I think that part with Trump, you make Trump an enemy.
00:12:36.880
But if you want to be my enemy, I'm also very good at that.
00:12:42.420
He will never, ever forget until he gets his vengeance or an apology.
00:12:58.980
So in that part of the context, I do think there's something there that the president
00:13:06.220
I think 2026 is going to be the greatest year in my lifetime in America.
00:13:14.200
We're going to have multiple times rates going lower.
00:13:26.860
We have 11 acres of land we own right on the airport.
00:13:53.200
On December 12th, I host an event called the Business Planning Workshop, where we go through
