WILL CAIN (HOST): Apparently, one of the Special Forces soldiers involved in the Nicolas Maduro raid has now been arrested because he placed a bet on Polymarket ahead of time about whether or not Nicolas Maduro would go down. Obviously, he knew the prospect was very high, not guaranteed, but very high. And apparently, he made $410,000 on this bet. Now, I'm curious what you both have to say on this in that I saw someone on social media going, again, Washington, DC politicians -- why are you going after one of our heroes?
TYRUS (GUEST): Honestly, again, I feel like -- and I love coming on your show, Will, but again, I don't care. Let him have it.
CAIN: No, no, we have to care. We have to care.
TYRUS: With betting and everything else going on -- you said a great thing. He did not have a guarantee. So, you have a tip. Guys do it all the time.
CAIN: Here's the reason we should care, Tyrus.
TYRUS: At least pardon him because everyone else is getting pardoned.
CAIN: But here's the reason that we actually should care because that comprises potential op sec. And I can guarantee you, people inside the Pentagon are going, "You did what ahead of time? That could have tipped off serious intel on spying on the United States." Could've been like what is this bet? Look at this. Is there something coming for us in Venezuela? I don't care about the money. I don't care as much about the insider trading. I care about the operational security.
TYRUS: He definitely should never be in a position like that again.
