Summary

On the front page of the Breitbart News website came the explosive story about sports gambling. Several NBA players and coaches, some legendary, have been caught up in a Mafia-run gambling ring. The FBI has announced some arrests and more will probably be coming. This got Mike to thinking about addictions. It's not just for drugs or alcohol. People get addicted to all kinds of things. Sports gambling is now a multi-billion dollar industry, but some people can't help taking it too far. Gambling addictions have ruined lives. Do you have a gambling addiction? Do you know someone who does? Mike takes your calls. And Tucker Carlson recently said something that's somehow controversial: American laws are based on Christianity. Seems self-evident, right? Not according to far leftists on campus who were shocked at what Tucker says. Mike has a simple message: can we finally get serious about the values our country holds dear?

0:53.4	Or you can skip through if you want to
0:54.5	get rid to the sports gambling. Chris, who's in Ohio, I think. There we go. Hey, Chris, how are you? I'm blessed. How are you, Mike?
1:24.6	Hey, good, brother. It's on your mind. These last couple calls. We had a big segment about
1:27.3	Heggseth in the last hour, and then, uh, was it Brian called in? All this way, what's your assessment of all this? Yeah, mainly, um, you know, I want people to really, uh, listen to that Brian caller, uh, very carefully. You know, 3,000 years ago, there was a judgment that happened.
1:52.5	And the crowd had a choice between a convicted murderer or an innocent man preaching peace and love.

2:22.9	You know, even when it comes down to, you know, back in October of, what was it, last year, 3,000 people died, innocent people died, and, you know, what women and children died, and who did, who do these people
