Last Thursday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced it had made arrests in a pair of investigations into illegal gambling involving National Basketball Association (NBA) players and coaches. Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier is among those charged in the illegal sports betting case, while Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and several others are charged with participating in rigged poker games with ties to the mafia. According to FBI Director Kash Patel, the bureau has arrested 34 people as a result of the multi-year investigations, which covered 11 states and involved tens of millions of dollars. Billups and Rozier have been placed on leaves from their teams, and the NBA announced a review of its gambling rules.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!I actually met them.Last year, the podcasts Question Everything and This American Lifedid a feature on the work we do here at Tangle.

The NBA is taking heat over one of its head coaches and a player, Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, who were caught up in a major illegal gambling bust. The league isn't accused of anything illegal, but it certainly has embraced the gambling industry. We don't know why these NBA guys may have gotten involved, if they did, but in some cases, gambling addiction is what leads to the trouble. Safer Gambling President Keith Scott Whyte joins the Fox News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss why gambling can be so addictive and why he says there's a need to create more regulations about legal sports betting.

The guys also break down the latest in the NFL and react to the shocking news surrounding Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and others arrested by the FBI in a massive gambling probe.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, there was a major FBI bust of an illegal sports betting scheme involving four NBA teams (Charlotte Hornets, Portland Trail Blazers, Los Angeles Lakers, Toronto Raptors) and four mafia families (Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese, Lucchese), netting over $7 million. The NBA Has a problem, people need to have faith in the game. This is a massive blackeye for the NBA. Also, those who say ​that ​Israel ​will ​never ​annex ​the ​West Bank (Judea ​and ​Samaria), ​have ​no ​idea ​what's ​taking ​place ​in ​the ​West ​Bank. Israel ​will ​do ​whatever ​it ​chooses ​to ​do. The recent Knesset vote on annexation was initiated by the left to divide conservatives and the administration. If ​​Judea ​and ​Samaria ​don't ​belong ​to ​the ​Jews, ​who ​does ​it ​belong ​to? Shiloh's history proves Judea and Samaria as ancestral Jewish homeland is crucial to Judaism and Christianity. Later, Zohran Mamdani got his butt kicked at the NYC debate. He's a sloganeer, which is typical of Marxists, but he won't be substantive at all. Afterward, Obamacare is a lie focused on centralization and control rather than affordability, leading to loss of civil liberties, restricted benefits, and second-rate care where patients can't access desired doctors, hospitals, or medicines. It's just like socialist systems in Canada and Britain, from which people flee to the US for better care, yet Democrats aim to mimic them. Democrats caused the government shutdown to maintain and expand Obamacare subsidies and reinstate benefits for illegal aliens, refusing reforms and relying on media to blame Republicans, ultimately destroying Medicare, Medicaid, and employee insurance by inflating healthcare costs. Finally, a Daily Mail article predicts Christianity's decline as America's majority religion amid Islam's rise. U.S. was founded on tolerant Judeo-Christian values fused with Enlightenment, rejected by Marxists and Islamists. This ideological clash threatens free society's survival.

The FBI arrested Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier in a sweeping gambling investigation involving the Mafia. The Athletic’s Zach Harper breaks down the case. As the shutdown continues, Republicans claim that Affordable Care Act subsidies Democrats want renewed would pay for medical care for immigrants who are living in the U.S. illegally. The Washington Post’s David Ovalle explains how the reality is much more complicated. President Trump pardoned the founder of the world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance. The Wall Street Journal reports that the move likely paves the way for the company to return to the U.S. after it was banned in 2023. Plus, Silicon Valley persuaded Trump to call off deployment of federal troops to San Francisco, the woman who played the clarinet during brain surgery, and what to expect as the World Series kicks off. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

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.

The pro athletes and coaches who get busted for gambling are the dumbest people on earth.Former NBA players Chauncey Billups — currently the Portland Trail Blazers' head coach — and Damon Jones were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit both wire fraud and money laundering after allegedly participating in rigged poker games.Billups and Jones were allegedly dubbed as "face cards" which, the indictment says, were "members of the Cheating Teams and received a portion of the criminal proceeds in exchange for their participation in the scheme." The scheme resulted in the victims losing at least $7.15 million, dating back to April 2019, according to the Department of Justice."Billups and Jones, in particular… were utilized to attract victims to the games because of their status as former professional athletes," the DOJ said.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

P.M. Edition for Oct. 23. More than 30 people, including Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, were charged today in an investigation into illegal gambling, rigged poker games, and match-fixing in the NBA. We hear from WSJ sports reporter Jared Diamond about what this means for the league, and the role that legal gambling platforms may have played in the alleged crimes. Plus, in an exclusive, we report that President Trump has pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, which may pave the way for the world's largest crypto exchange to return to the U.S. And struggling food company Beyond Meat became one of the most traded stocks in the U.S. yesterday.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour: 4:05pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump held a roundtable—alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem—to discuss his administration's crackdown on drug cartels. 4:45pm- In a press conference on Thursday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of more than 30 people—including Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier—for participating in illegal sports gambling and rigged poker games in coordination with the mafia.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (10/23/25): 3:05pm During a recent interview, Democratic House Whip Rep. Katherine Clark said of the government shutdown: "Of course there will be families that are going to suffer…but it is one of the few leverage times we have." 3:10pm- During a Thursday press conference, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy implored Democrats to join Republicans in passing a continuing resolution to reopen the government—warning that the shutdown could start to impact the performance of air traffic control. 3:15pm- Democrats and media members are apoplectic over the Trump administration's decision to construct a grand ballroom at the White House—expanding the residence's East Wing. President Trump has insisted construction will be privately funded, at no expense to the taxpayer. Despite left-wing outrage, Teddy Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama all oversaw major construction projects while serving as president. Speaker Mike Johnson noted during a press conference on Wednesday: This is proof Democrats will attack President Trump for anything and everything he does. 3:20pm- While appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) was asked about potentially being primaried. He responded defiantly: “I'm not afraid of telling the truth. I'll be the Democrat that refuses to lie to the base…And now I refuse to call my fellow citizens fascists or Nazis.” Could Fetterman switch political parties? 3:40pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump held a roundtable—alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem—to discuss his administration's crackdown on drug cartels. 3:50pm- William Howard Taft, the largest president in American history, famously required a specially installed oversized bathtub to accommodate his frame. Did the press complain about the construction project? Also, last month, Politico reported that Illinois Governor JB Pritzker was trying to lose weight ahead of the 2028 presidential election. Does anyone notice a difference in his size? 4:05pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump held a roundtable—alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem—to discuss his administration's crackdown on drug cartels. 4:45pm- In a press conference on Thursday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of more than 30 people—including Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier—for participating in illegal sports gambling and rigged poker games in coordination with the mafia. 5:05pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Trump administration's new sanctions on Russia, the durability of the peace agreement between Israel and Hamas, and the “Donroe Doctrine” (Trump's plan for the Western Hemisphere). Dr. Coates is author of the book: “The Battle for the Jewish State: How Israel—and America—Can Win.” 5:40pm- Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner recently chose to cover up a tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol. He also has a history of making racist, anti-police, anti-LGBTQ, and pro-communist posts on Reddit. However, mainstream Democrats continue to defend him! 6:05pm- During Wednesday night's New York City Mayoral debate, Curtis Sliwa hilariously noted that Zohran Mamdani's resume could fit on a cocktail napkin. In another memorable exchange, Andrew Cuomo predicted that if Mamdani wins, President Donald Trump will “knock him on his tuchas.” 6:30pm- In a press conference on Thu ...

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- During Wednesday night's New York City Mayoral debate, Curtis Sliwa hilariously noted that Zohran Mamdani's resume could fit on a cocktail napkin. In another memorable exchange, Andrew Cuomo predicted that if Mamdani wins, President Donald Trump will “knock him on his tuchas.” 6:30pm- In a press conference on Thursday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of more than 30 people—including Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier—for participating in illegal sports gambling and rigged poker games in coordination with the mafia. 6:40pm- Woke News: According to an article in The Washington Post, your carbon footprint may be determined by where you live!

Craig Collins remains in for Greg Corombos, and he notices a big mafia story arrives, just in time to honor his Italian heritage. Craig and Jim applaud some new Trump administration decisions on Ukraine, lament the fact that Zohran Mamdani looks like a shoo in to be the next mayor of New York City, and marvel at a big sports gambling scandal that led to the arrest of an NBA player and coach. First, Craig and Jim note that while it's been a long time coming, the Trump administration is hitting Russian oil giants Rosneft and Lukoil with new sanctions, cutting off the Russian firms from American banking systems and financial institutions, essentially barring them from operating in U.S. dollars. Trump is finally getting wise to the fact that all of his seemingly good conversations with Vladimir Putin never seem to results in Putin's policies. Next, President Trump doesn't see any way that anyone can beat Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayor's race, and there's not a lot of evidence to counter the president's conclusion. In a year where a lot has gone right for the GOP, a major frustration is that no argument about Mamdani's extremism on everything from economics to policing to geopolitics has seemed to get traction. Finally, the Portland Trail Blazers face a tough lineup of opponents this year – the Warriors, the Lakers, and the FBI. The Bureau announced that it had arrested Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier as  part of a pair of wide-ranging investigations related to illegal sports betting and rigged poker games backed by the Mafia.
