Phil Murphy

and yet people like the commissioners of the leagues and the sports books and industry-friendly politicians continue to argue that somehow all that's happened is they've moved a customer base from the black market into a regulated market and there's now just so much evidence that shows that's utterly untrue

You were writing about like, Chris Christie in New Jersey was like, man, like he didn't even get his name on the bill, right? Murphy, what was it? Murphy versus New Jersey or what was?

Yeah, so not a bill.

That was the case that the Supreme Court.

Like only God can work.

Only religion can work.

It's a long way of getting at, like, I wonder about, you talk about 39 out of the 50 states and, you know, Phil Murphy, Democrat, Chris Christie, Republican, like that doesn't seem to be necessarily a moral divide or right and left.

Or I wonder what you've, what you kind of your research told you about, about that.

The beauty of sitting here just outside Gate 2 is you see all the big dogs walking around.

I did notice this man, Phil Murphy.

You know him from the screens of ESPN here in Australia and internationally.

He's strolling on through.

What are you gonna go? What are you going with tomorrow? What, what look are you going with?

I'm a 49ers man tomorrow, so I'm going, uh, all red.

Um, I'm gonna be decked out.

[laughs] What, red pant?

That is a great message.

I just wonder whether or not there are people out there.

There are so many text messages that have just arrived in the last one and a half minutes-

Mm

It's as simple as that.

And then Phil Murphy, the face of ESPN's NFL coverage here in Australia.

Filthy.

With a huge game between the Rams and the 49ers coming up.

The Seth Boyden homes in the city's South Ward were demolished earlier in the year.

Mayor Ross Baraka and Governor Phil Murphy announced plans for the studio yesterday.

The facility will be owned and operated by Greenpoint Studios, co-founded by the Hallmark Channel founder Robert Hamali.

Its anchor tenant will be global entertainment provider Lionsgate.

Julie, what can you tell us about the rules here?

Yeah, this cell phone ban was signed into law by Governor, former Governor Phil Murphy.

It goes into effect this year and districts are going to have to get creative.

You know some are.

It's a bell to bell band.

So, you know, enforcement is gonna be a challenge this year.

So do you have a sense, Julie, of how many districts, one, already enforced bans? Because we know that many were already considering or even taking action before former Governor Murphy signed the bill.

But do you know how many haven't yet complied previous to this year or are still trying to figure out what those rules look like?
