We're not WORTHY or READY for Michelle, a Gambling Curveball in Pro Sports & the Ongoing Atrocities against Christians in Nigeria Week In Review


Listen Later

1. Michelle Obama and Presidential Politics

  • The discussion begins with Michelle Obama’s comments about not running for President of the United States.
  • She stated that America is “not ready for a woman president,” citing sexism and societal immaturity.
  • Her stance is arrogant and condescending, and she argues that Democrats blame election losses on bigotry rather than policy failures.
  • Historical comparisons are made to how Democrats shifted toward the center after losing multiple elections in the 1980s.

2. Sports Gambling and Corruption

  • The conversation shifts to sports betting, particularly prop bets (bets on specific aspects of a game rather than the outcome).
  • Allegations of corruption in Major League Baseball (MLB) and the NBA are discussed, including:
    • Criminal indictments against players accused of manipulating game elements for profit.
    • Example: Cleveland Guardians pitchers allegedly threw pitches to influence bets, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars.
  • Broader concerns about integrity in sports and the potential need for congressional action are raised.
  • Prop bets create incentives for individual players to cheat because they can control outcomes like pitch speed or fouls.

3. Persecution of Christians in Nigeria

  • The final section addresses religious persecution, focusing on radical Islamic terrorism in Nigeria.
  • Boko Haram is identified as a major perpetrator, responsible for killing over 50,000 Christians since 2009 and destroying thousands of churches and schools.
  • The discussion highlights U.S. legislative efforts to designate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and impose sanctions on complicit officials.
  • Former President Trump’s tweet acknowledging the crisis and calling for action is quoted.
  • The speakers criticize Tucker Carlson for allegedly downplaying or dismissing the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, linking this stance to broader issues of antisemitism and extremism.
