Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Gandhi breaks down everything going on in the world. Here's
her three things. Congressman George Santos has changed his mind
about seeking reelection. The New York Republican made the announcement
after the House Ethics Committee released a scathing report about
his conduct. The committee is expected to announce an expulsion
resolution today, but probably won't vote on it until after Thanksgiving.

(00:22):
The House Committee unanimously agreed there was substantial wrongdoing by Santos,
who they say caused his campaign committee to file false
reports with the FEC and use campaign funds for personal expenses.
Santos has pleaded not guilty to nearly two dozen charges,
but does say he won't seek reelection. If you're planning
on shopping on Canal Street and getting some designer knockoffs
for the holidays, there is not going to be as

(00:44):
much stuff as we're used to. Two men were arrested
Wednesday and charged in connection with what federal prosecutors described
as the largest ever seizure of counterfeit goods in US history.
Over two hundred and ten thousand counterfeit bags, clothes, shoes,
and other lucky utory products were sees worth more than
one billion dollars according to prosecutors. In the indictment, it

(01:05):
states the two ran a counterfeit goods trafficking operation out
of a storage facility located in Manhattan. Photographs released by
prosecutors showed shelves packed with things from the floor to
the ceiling. And Finally, Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh
will miss the final two regular season games after violating
the Big Ten Sportsmanship policy. The school was accused of
conducting impermissible in person scouting over several years, which resulted

(01:29):
in unfair competitive advantages. Harbaugh accepted the suspension after the
conference agreed to close its investigation. He already missed last
weekend's game against Penn State. As part of the discipline,
the offensive coordinator will serve as interim head coach at
Maryland on Saturday and against the Ohio State University in
the regular season finale at Michigan Stadium on November twenty fifth.
I hope we're having a great day. I'm Gandhi, and

(01:50):
those are your three things.
