Former longtime NFL sideline reporter Michele Tafoya, now host of The Michele Tafoya Podcast, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the shocking NBA betting scandal involving players and coaches allegedly rigging games in an illegal gambling operation tied to the La Cosa Nostra mafia. Tafoya weighed in on the possible motivations behind why a respected Hall of Fame player and coach like Chauncey Billups would get involved in such a scheme, and why this scandal could poison the well for many sports fans while the full truth is uncovered.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. NBA Betting Scandal One of the most explosive sports scandals in recent memory: a massive NBA betting and poker rigging investigation led by the FBI. Clay and Buck break down the details of a multi-year probe that resulted in over 30 arrests across 11 states, involving current and former NBA players and coaches, including Portland Trailblazers head coach Chauncey Billups, former player and coach Damon Jones, and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier. The scandal spans illegal gambling operations, insider betting schemes, and mafia-run poker games using high-tech cheating devices like x-ray tables, contact lenses, and altered shuffling machines. Clay explains how the FBI uncovered two interconnected cases: one involving the mob rigging high-stakes poker games with tens of millions of dollars at stake, and another exposing NBA players manipulating game performance for prop bets, such as Rozier allegedly leaving a game early after signaling insiders. The hosts discuss the staggering stupidity of risking a $26 million NBA salary for $200,000 in illicit winnings, and why legalized sports betting may actually help catch these schemes by flagging irregular wagering patterns. Oppression Olympics An in-depth look at the Virginia Governor’s race, dissecting conflicting polls on Abigail Spanberger and why Democrats are sounding alarms despite media narratives of a comfortable lead. The hosts mock MSNBC’s claim that Spanberger’s struggles stem from sexism, pointing out that she’s running against another woman and citing examples of women winning major races nationwide. They argue Democrats are leaning on identity politics rather than addressing policy failures. The conversation pivots to Spanberger’s refusal to call for the resignation of Jay Jones, the Democratic Attorney General candidate embroiled in a text scandal advocating political violence. Clay warns Virginians that Spanberger is a far-left candidate masquerading as moderate, predicting radical policies on gender identity and sports if she wins. This leads to a fiery discussion on transgender athletes, spotlighting a shocking Minnesota Supreme Court ruling that unanimously allowed a male powerlifter to compete in women’s competitions, citing “human rights.” Clay and Buck slam this as emblematic of the left’s strategy to impose gender ideology through state power, comparing it to COVID-era mandates and warning of broader cultural consequences. Rep. Jim Jordan The ongoing government shutdown, now in its 23rd day, with Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan joining the show to explain why Democrats are holding the line—fear of primaries from the far-left and leveraging issues like Obamacare subsidies. Jordan predicts the shutdown could last until November and blasts Democrats’ Trump Derangement Syndrome as a driving force. Jordan also drops bombshell news: a criminal referral against former CIA Director John Brennan for allegedly lying under oath about the Steele dossier during the Russia investigation. He details evidence showing Brennan pushed for the dossier’s inclusion despite knowing it was unreliable, framing it as part of a broader pattern of anti-Trump bias. The discussion then shifts to Trump’s record in his second term, with Jordan calling it “the most impactful year of any presidency,” citing achievements on tax cuts, border security, Iran policy, and ending men in women’s sports. The hour closes with a quick revisit of the NBA betting scandal, contrasting today’s corruption with Pete Rose’s infamous wagers, and a nuanced debate on whether athletes betting on themselves should be treated differently. Clay explains why leagues ban all player gambling to prevent debt-driven corruption, noting referees as historically vulnerable due to lower salaries. Gov't Shutdown Realities The latest on the government shutdown, now stretching into weeks, as Clay and Buck dissect explosive remarks from Democratic House Whip Katherine Clark, who admitted the shutdown is being used as “leverage.” Speaker of the House Mike Johnson fires back, accusing Democrats of holding American families hostage to push for $200 billion in Obamacare subsidies and benefits for illegal immigrants. The hosts argue this political brinkmanship is driven by internal Democratic fears—Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries worried about primary challenges from the far-left, especially after Mamdani’s surprise victory in the New York City mayoral primary, which shook the party establishment. The conversation pivots to the New York City mayor’s race, analyzing the fiery second debate featuring Curtis Sliwa, Andrew Cuomo, and Mamdani. Clay praises Sliwa’s populist message but warns that staying in the race could guarantee a Mamdani win. They highlight Cuomo and Sliwa pressing Mamdani on housing ballot initiatives, exposing his evasiveness and lack of clear policy positions. Clay brands Momani as a “cipher”—a social media-savvy candidate with no substantive record—contrasting him with Cuomo’s long political history.

This Day in Legal History: SCOTUS Moves to First StreetOn October 7, 1935, the U.S. Supreme Court officially began hearing cases in its permanent home on First Street NE in Washington, D.C. For nearly 150 years prior, the Court lacked a dedicated building, conducting business in borrowed or shared spaces—including the U.S. Capitol and even a basement chamber. The move to an independent structure marked a significant moment in the institutional evolution of the federal judiciary. Designed by architect Cass Gilbert in a neoclassical style, the building was conceived as a physical expression of judicial authority, dignity, and permanence. Chief Justice William Howard Taft, who had previously served as President, championed the idea, believing the judiciary deserved a stature equal to the executive and legislative branches.The building's design was deliberately grand, with symbolic elements such as the phrase “Equal Justice Under Law” engraved above the main entrance. The construction cost approximately $9 million and took four years to complete, funded entirely by Congress. Despite its marble grandeur, some justices were skeptical of the move, including Justice Harlan Fiske Stone, who reportedly referred to it as “almost bombastically pretentious.” Still, the relocation marked the start of a new era for the Court—one defined by institutional independence and enhanced public visibility.The first arguments heard in the new building concerned labor and property rights, underscoring the Court's increasing role in mediating modern economic tensions. The structure has since been the site of many landmark decisions, including Brown v. Board of Education, Roe v. Wade, and Bush v. Gore. Over time, the Supreme Court building has become not just a seat of legal authority, but a symbol of the constitutional system itself, anchoring the judiciary firmly within the federal government's tripartite structure.Illinois filed a lawsuit seeking to block President Donald Trump from deploying National Guard troops to Chicago. The legal action follows a similar move by a federal judge in Oregon, who temporarily halted the deployment of troops to Portland. Illinois' complaint targets the federal government's decision to activate up to 300 members of the Illinois National Guard—against Governor J.B. Pritzker's objections—and bring in an additional 400 troops from Texas.The state argues that the deployment is illegal and part of what it calls a broader, politically motivated campaign by Trump against Democratic-led jurisdictions. The White House has not commented on the lawsuit. This marks the latest in a series of military deployments by Trump during his second term, including the use of troops at the southern border and in anti-narcotics operations off Venezuela. National Guard units have also been sent to cities like Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., and Trump has expressed willingness to send them elsewhere, even without state approval. The Illinois case raises significant constitutional questions about federal authority, state sovereignty, and the domestic use of military forces.Illinois sues to block Trump from deploying National Guard troops to Chicago | ReutersThe union representing over 13,000 U.S. air traffic controllers has urged its members to remain on duty during the ongoing partial government shutdown, despite being required to work without pay. In a statement on Monday, the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) warned that any job action or protest could be considered illegal and result in termination from federal service. The union emphasized the importance of maintaining professionalism and avoiding conduct that could damage their credibility or that of the aviation system.Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and NATCA leadership held a press conference at Newark Liberty International Airport to address the shutdown's impact on air travel. Newark, a major hub, is particularly sensitive to staffing disruptions. About 50,000 TSA employees are also working without pay.The current situation echoes the 2019 shutdown, when increased worker absences slowed air travel and pressured Congress to act. Airline industry groups are warning that flight efficiency could decline if staffing becomes unstable. The FAA is already facing a severe shortage of air traffic controllers—roughly 3,500 short of target—which has led to widespread mandatory overtime. Despite recent congressional approval of $12.5 billion for a five-year system upgrade, the shutdown threatens to further strain an already fragile workforce.Union urges air traffic controllers to remain on job despite shutdown | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week looks at the Minnesota Supreme Court's decision in Humana MarketPoint, Inc. v. Commissioner of Revenue, a case that underscores a growing shift in how states approach corporate income tax sourcing. The court ruled that tax liability can be based not on where services were performed or contracted, but where they were ultimately “received”—even if indirectly, by a customer's customer. In this case, Minnesota taxed income from pharmacy benefit services provided to a Wisconsin insurer because individual plan members picked up prescriptions in Minnesota.I argue this ruling highlights a troubling lack of statutory clarity. The court interpreted Minnesota's law—which sources services to where they are “received”—as encompassing end users, not just contractual customers. That interpretation hinged on the absence of the word “directly” in the statute. As I see it, courts shouldn't be in the business of stretching ambiguous language to support expansive tax liability, especially when legislatures haven't clearly articulated such intent.What's most concerning is the unpredictability this creates. If states don't codify market-based sourcing explicitly, courts may keep filling in gaps case by case, leaving companies unable to forecast where they're subject to tax. That's a serious compliance issue for businesses with complex, multi-jurisdictional operations. I argue that if states want to prioritize economic presence over contractual reality, they must write it into law—with clear definitions and limits. Otherwise, taxpayers are left navigating a patchwork of post hoc interpretations that undermine the predictability essential to sound tax policy. This is a public episode.

The Minnesota Supreme Court created doubt Wednesday over the viability of a decades-old state law that makes it a crime to possess certain firearms that lack serial numbers. In overturning a lower court ruling, a majority of justices on the state's highest court stopped short of invalidating a 1994 law entirely on constitutional grounds. But the split ruling could make it harder for prosecutors to bring the gun charges as they have in hundreds of cases per year.New security measures went into place Wednesday at the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul.Former Minnesota Sen. Justin Eichorn appeared in court Wednesday.

Justice Alan Page and his daughter Kamie joined us for a delightful conversation about their latest children's book, "Baking Up Love." This heartwarming story celebrates the special bond between a young girl and her grandfather as they bake cupcakes together.  Justice Alan Page has certainly accomplished a lot in his life. He is a member of the NFL Hall Of Fame, a former Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. But he shared that the true joys come from the time he spends with his grandchildren. "There is nothing else like it in the world," he said, describing the "exponentially more fun, more warm, more heartwarming" experience of being a grandparent.  Kamie chimed in, explaining how her dad engages with his grandkids in all sorts of activities, from book clubs to board games. This intergenerational connection is at the core of "Baking Up Love" and the family's other children's books, which they create as a fundraiser for the Page Educational Foundation. Established by Justice Alan and his wife Diane in 1988, the foundation provides scholarships and mentorship to students of color in Minnesota. Kamie shared how the program's "Page scholars" don't just receive funding, but also give back by volunteering with younger students in their communities. It's a beautiful cycle of paying it forward. Throughout the conversation, the Pages emphasized the importance of reading, creativity, and quality time with loved ones - whether they're grandparents, parents, or even "grand friends" in the community. Their passion for empowering youth and celebrating family shines through in both their philanthropic work and their delightful children's books. If you're looking to inspire the young readers in your life, be sure to check out "Baking Up Love" and the other titles from Justice Alan Page and Kamie Page. It's a tasty treat for the whole family!

On Monday afternoon the Minnesota House will be back in order. But it's more of a restart than a continuation of session business.That's because the Minnesota Supreme Court decided last week that Republicans didn't have enough members present to do anything — with Democrats still staging their boycott. While talks have resumed between party leaders, action on state policies and the budget is on pause for now.MPR News correspondent Peter Cox joined the program live from the capitol for a breakdown of what's next for the session.

Representative Lisa Demuth joins Chad to talk about the Minnesota Supreme Court ruling Friday on the definition of quorum and how the House GOP will move ahead with DFL members of the House still not reporting to the Capitol.

But the court declined to order a specific action beyond that, saying they assume the parties can work it out on their own with the quorum matter clarified.And a Republican candidate who narrowly lost a race for the Minnesota House won't ask the Supreme Court to step in.Those stories and more in today's evening update from MPR News.

The Minnesota Supreme Court will hear arguments Thursday over a power struggle in the state House of Representatives. Democratic lawmakers are boycotting the chamber to keep attendance below 68 members, which is the amount of members that has historically been needed for the chamber to start its official work. DFL Secretary of State Steve Simon has said this year is no different. House Republicans disagree and have gone ahead with business like electing a speaker. So, Simon and DFL lawmakers asked the court to step in with two different cases that could decide who has power in the house. MPR News senior politics reporter Dana Ferguson joined Minnesota Now with an update on the latest.

The Legislature opened its session on Jan. 14. But the House hasn't been able to operate at full capacity.  Democrats are boycotting and Republicans have declined to cut a deal to share power or commit to leaving a DFL win in a contested House election intact.Now the Minnesota Supreme Court is involved. Will a ruling by justices settle things or could the standoff linger deeper into the session? MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst talked to the two Minnesota lawmakers with a role in the power struggle. Later, he spoke with two legal scholars about how the constitutional tug-of-war is playing out. 

KSTP-TV political reporter Tom Hauser joins with a preview of what's happening today with arguments before the Minnesota Supreme Court and the continuing mess with the House in St. Paul.
