7:34 pm
game, spending that money at a broadway play or going to a casino, i think we should leave that choice up to them. >> public opinion really is shifting on this. this has taken a big turn in the last several years. why. >> there is no grass roots movement for legalized sports gambling. the reason we have in debate is because you've had powerful gambling interests in concert with a handful of professional sports teams owner billionaires as well as with politicians pushing it. the state of new jersey which is the state where the court case comes from and the supreme court, in 2016, quinn peeng universe said 62% of new jersey citizens thought gambling has not been good for the state. this is not something people are pounding the table for. >> jeff let's talk about super bowl weekend, the super bowl weekend we're looking at. last year $138 million was bet on the super bowl legally. more wagered off shore and local book makers. how much mother more money do

7:43 pm
stuff. and yet, you know, we're trying to get it deployed in the toughest places in the world. >> each of you are just innaturely curious about this. and you just want to find the answers. this is something you just think about all the time, right. >> 94% of people survive age 5 to the 60. the big opportunities are really on that bottom end. even in the united states we have -- we have a 20-plus-year difference in life expectancy between whether you live to -- early 60s or early 80s. depending on the city or the income bracket you're in. you see that as well in middle and low income countries. >> some of the coral las vegass are interesting. if you are married you do better. if you have a dog you do better. but income and race are pretty disturbing that those gaps are so large. >> what do you believe is a good way to tackle the ignorance of people who are against vaccines. >> we have seen the recurrence of diseases that had been wiped out before, whether it's meesles or mumps coming back.
7:44 pm
a condition that when i was a child and melania trumps vaccination wasn't there i ended up with enself-itis and in -- i feel in a coma three weeks. that was my one think that could have killed me early on in life. among the most dramatic effects on human life come from vaccination. we have to keep reminding people, saying it, and then pointing out when we take it away this is what happens. >> bill, can you tell us a little bit about the announcement you came out with this on malaria. >> malaria is a tough disease still in almost half the countries in the world. we have two things we want to achieve. we want to keep getting the cases down. they've come down by 60%. and we want to shrink the map. we want to learn what it takes to do country ee radmann indications. our big announcement here was $180 million project that's taking the new tools and go after ee radmann indication in
7:45 pm
central america. and it's part of that progress that gives uts the understanding and credibility to eventually go after malaria where it's most intense, which is africa. >> up next on the money, why nfl players will be playing a high price for where the super bowl is being played this year. and later being healthy just about eating right and kberzing.
7:48 pm
well whether you love tom brady or hate him here is an interesting super bowl fact. win or lose he is bringing home less cash that jimmy garoppolo. why is brady second string on cash. eric is here with more. he has more explain in. >> it's what they call the jobbing tax. many states. seriously it's called the jobbing tax. many states including minnesota tax visiting athletes and entertainers for working a few days in the state and minnesota is near the top of the nation with the state income fax rate tops out on the 9.85%. >> they have to pay what they make all year or the few days they're in the state. >> this is what gets interesting. it's a perverse tax because the doesn't look at how much the player maid made. instead it considers the annual salary and then prorate the number of days they worked in the state. but the definition of working it's not just sunday game day. it includes practice time, media
7:49 pm
availability, anything the players did while in town. that could be 7 or more days are for the super bowl players. look at this rough estimate. let's say player makes 20 million per season two hundred days a year for the full season. 100,000 a day if in month for seven days they get tagged as having made $700,000 in minnesota on the prorated basis. 10% of that is as the 70,000 owed in taxes. that's more than the $56,000 they would even get for appearing in the super bowl. the best bet is to somehow fet the money without showing up to minnesota like former patriots back up quarterback jimmy garoppolo. he gets $56,000 anyway because he was on the team most of the year but he already got traded. he doesn't play this weekend. minnesota has no basis to tax him. and remember that athletes stallries don't rise for reaching the playoffs. they're basically playing for free or losing money and it gets complicated because they pay taxes to many states and have to figure out various credits. that's the point. you can lose even when you win.
7:50 pm
the longest arms of anybody this weekend not the players it's the long arm of the minnesota tax man. >> how does minnesota keep getting the super bowl if i were the players i would petition the nfl to not make me play there. >> it would be in any state. that's really tricky. it happens for every game. if you do a regular road game in minnesota. road games -- if you're the giants and you visit minnesota and philadelphia and atlanta. >> you got to pay every one of the jurisdictions. >> all the states. you might get credit >> it's probably the only place where you lose money by playing the game there. >> california is pretty high too. >> wow. all right. >> the key as you got to win. if you lose the game you may not be making enough money. but if you win the game you get $112,000. the extra 56,000. >> then good you can pay the tax bill. >> thank you beck guardian. up next on the money a look at the news for the week ahead and a celebrity trainer and now heart attack survivor. bob harper explains why e than ning health is more than
7:51 pm
just food liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. hold on dad... liberty did what? yeah, liberty mutual 24-hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. don't worry - i know what a lug wrench is, dad. is this a lug wrench? maybe? you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. they always refer to me as master sergeant. they really appreciate the military family, and it really shows. we've got auto insurance, homeowners insurance. had an accident with a vehicle,
