Former House Speaker John Boehner is one of politicians who cash in after leaving office. In Boehner’s case, he opposed all efforts to legalize cannabis while he was in Congress, then promptly went into business as a pro-marijuana lobbyist, earning millions pushing for legalized pot around the country. So, fresh off spending the holidays watching sports and all the commercial tie-ins for legalized sports betting, Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers open the first episode of The Drill Down for 2024 by asking, “Who is the ‘John Boehner’ of legalized sports betting?”
Turns out it’s . . . John Boehner.
