We take time away from history this week to discuss an important current issue and how it relates to taxpayers. --- Billy Corben whose production credits include Cocaine Cowboys, Dawg Fight, The U, and The U Part 2 needs no introduction to most of you. For those who don’t know, he’s a relentless advocate for government efficiency in southeast Florida and regularly discusses these topics on the Dan LeBetard Show. Today he joins us to discuss the soccer stadium hustle in southeast Florida and why Inter Miami CF was given land in BOTH Miami and Fort Lauderdale, why they did not build on land they already owned in Miami as well as discussing the current hustle where tens of millions in taxpayer money is going to support FIFA’s World Cup efforts in Miami- as well as the relocation of some of FIFA’s most important jobs from Switzerland to south Florida. Even at a time of great political polarization in Florida and the USA, the one clear thing that seems to unite Democrats and Republicans is their desire to scam taxpayers to profit off of sports venues while enabling oligarch owners of sports entities.
