00:00How many press conferences have you seen, gambling, sports gaming, etc., where you saw the FBI

00:15And I think that a lot of people out there are misconstruing it. They're acting like I'm

00:19criticizing Trump for the NBA investigation, as if this is all him. I totally believe Cash

00:27Patel and Cash Patel, you know, this is a story, this is an investigation that was

00:33taking place before he ever arrived. I totally believe that once he got at the

00:38helm, he wanted to probe and investigate this further, and this is his baby. I

00:42totally believe that he believes there's a strong level of legitimacy to this case

01:11indicted, but I'm talking about the brand itself that is the NBA and how it could

01:16potentially serve to inconvenience that brand.
