| 0:00.0 | In case number 16476, Murphy versus NCAA and the consolidated case, Justice Alito has the opinion of the court. |
| 0:12.5 | Hey, everyone. This is Leon from Prologue Projects. |
| 0:16.2 | On this episode of 5 to 4, Peter, Riannon, and Michael are talking about Murphy v. N. C.A. This is a case about |
| 0:24.0 | sports gambling. In the early 90s, then-president George H.W. Bush signed a federal law, |
| 0:29.4 | making it illegal to gamble on sports in most states in the U.S. |
| 0:32.8 | Participants in everything from fantasy football and March Madness Pools to Big Dollar Wagering on games and matches |
| 0:39.9 | are rejoicing tonight. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled a federal law banning sports gambling in |

| 1:21.8 | Hey, happy New Year. |
| 1:23.4 | And Michael. |
| 1:24.2 | Hi, everybody. Happy New Year. |
| 1:27.2 | Now, we are recording this before the inauguration, but I'm predicting that the stage will |
| 1:31.4 | collapse due to poor planning. |
| 1:34.1 | Peter's positing there is a god, and he has a sense, or she, he or she has a sense of humor. |
| 1:40.6 | Or they? |
| 1:41.5 | This is a very ambitious metaphor for me. |
| 1:43.9 | Usually I talk about things that have already happened. |
