JOHN YANG: Tonight on PBS News Weekend, as the  gambling capital of the world prepares to host  

tonight's Super Bowl, the growing ties between pro  sports and sports betting companies, then what's  

behind the nationwide surge in syphilis cases, and  what can be done to reverse the trend. And writer  

and filmmaker Curtis Chin on what he learned  growing up at his family's Chinese restaurant.

CURTIS CHIN, Filmmaker and Writer: It just  really taught me this idea of being able to  

talk to people that are different from  you, not being afraid to ask for help,  

not being afraid of asking questions in life.  So many fundamental things about the way I  

look at the world and how I deal with people  came because of working in that restaurant.

JOHN YANG: Good evening. I'm John Yang. Once  again, former President Donald Trump's remarks  

at a campaign speech are drawing fire from both  allies around the world and rivals in the United  

States. Yesterday in South Carolina, Trump  said he told NATO countries that as President,  

he would encourage Russian aggression if  they don't pay what they owe the alliance.

DONALD TRUMP, U.S. REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL  CANDIDATE: And they said you got to pay  

up. They asked me that question. One of the  presidents of a big country stood up said,  

well, sir, if we don't pay and we're attacked by  Russia, will you protect us? I said you didn't  

pay your delinquent. He said yes. Let's say that  happened. No, I would not protect you. In fact, I  

would encourage them to do whatever the hell they  want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.

JOHN YANG: The head of NATO said Trump's  comments put U.S. and European forces  

risk. The White House called his  words appalling and unhinged. Nikki  

Haley Trump's top remaining Republican  rival fired back on CBS Face the Nation.

NIKKI HALEY, U.S. REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL  CANDIDATE: Don't take the side of a thug who  

kills his opponents, don't take the side  of someone who has gone in and invaded a  

country and half a million people have  died or been wounded because of Putin.

Now, we do want NATO allies to pull their  weight. But there are ways you can do that  

without sitting there and telling Russia have your  way with these countries. That's not what we want.

JOHN YANG: Trump also mocked Haley's husband  for not campaigning with her. Michael Haley  

is actually serving in the Horn of Africa with  the South Carolina Army National Guard. Today  

Nikki Haley said it's part of Trump's pattern  of disparaging U.S. troops and their families.

And we are just learning that Secretary of  Defense Lloyd Austin is back at Walter Reed  

Medical Center for the Pentagon says our  symptoms suggesting an emergent bladder  

issue. Austin had been in Walter Reed last  month for treatment of prostate cancer.

As a bill with money for Ukraine cleared  a key hurdle in the Senate today,  

Kyiv said it shot down more than 40  Russian drones that had been launched  

across the country in a barrage that lasted  nearly six hours, and Ukrainian president  

Volodymyr Zelenskyy named a new commander of  ground forces in hopes of spurring frontline  

progress. It's Oleksandr Pavliuk, who  had been first deputy defense minister.

President Biden told Israeli Prime  Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today  

that an Israeli ground offensive in  Rafah should not go ahead without a  

credible plan to protect the more than  1 million civilians trapped there.

It came to leaders first call since  Mr. Biden called Israel's campaign  

in Gaza over the top. On ABC's this  week before the two leaders spoke,  

Netanyahu defended Israel's efforts  to minimize civilian casualties.

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER:  We've brought down the civilian to terrorists  

casualties, the ratio down below one to  one which is considerably less than in any  

other theater of similar warfare and we're  going to do more. We're going to provide --

MAN: Wait a minute. You're saying it's only been  

one civilian that's been killed  for one Hamas terrorist in Gaza?

NETANYAHU: Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

JOHN YANG: Netanyahu also said that  enough of the remaining Israeli  

hostages are still alive to justify the  war despite the high cost in human lives.

In the Philippines, the death toll in  a landslide last week now stands at  

54. More bodies were recovered from the mud  and the hard hit Southern Village of Masara.  

Rescue efforts have been hampered  by heavy rain and the threat of  

more landslides. More than 1100 families have  been evacuated. 63 people are still missing.

Still to come on PBS News Weekend,  how cases of a sexually transmitted  

infection that was nearly eradicated  decades ago are hitting record numbers.  

And what one writer learned working  in his family's Chinese restaurant.

JOHN YANG: Not so long ago, a Super Bowl in  Las Vegas would have been unthinkable. Pro  

sports avoided anything to do with gambling. As  recently as 2015, the NFL made a fantasy sports  

convention off limits for players because  it was held next to a Las Vegas casino.

But tonight The Super Bowl is being played  with inside of the Vegas Strip. Not only  

that pro sports leagues and individual  teams rake in millions of dollars a  

year in partnership and ad revenue from sports  betting companies like DraftKings and FanDuel.

Andrew Brandt is director of Villanova  University's Moorad Center for the Study  

of Sports Law. He's also a former Green  Bay Packers executive and the host of a  

podcast called the Business of Sports which  we should note is sponsored by DraftKings.

Andrew, when you were helping one  of the Packers in the early 2000s,  

could you ever imagine that the NFL would  be embracing gambling the way it is now?

ANDREW BRANDT, Villanova University:  John, I could not there is no area  

of sports business in sports law that has  undergone a sea change like sports betting.  

We could not get near any kind of bet back  in the day, even before it worked for the  

Packers. Everything about sports betting  and sports from leagues, from the NCAA,  

from teams, from commissioners from owners  taboo, it's taboo. You cannot go near there.

And it's mind boggling to me that today we're  playing a Super Bowl in the mecca of gambling  

of this country, Las Vegas, it just shows  you how things have changed over the last  

few years. Something I would have never thought  while working for the Packers in the early 2000s.

JOHN YANG: What's the brief version  of how we got here from there?

ANDREW BRANDT: State of New Jersey was trying to  

implement sports betting over a period  of time and they were blocked because  

of some law that was in the books in 1992  that didn't allow states to implement it.

Chris Christie in New Jersey went to court  it lasted seven years and all the leagues  

including the NFL fought it in court  spent tens of millions of dollars of  

legal fees. And lo and behold on May 14  2018, the league's lost, New Jersey won.

The decision from the Supreme Court didn't  legalize sports betting John but what it  

did was allow states to implement  sports betting and as of today,  

there are 38 states and the District of  Columbia that are now legalized sports betting.

The other part of it is the lore of Vegas. Vegas  is a town that had everything. It had fun. It  

had shows, it had concerts, but it didn't have  sports. And then the NHL went there. Then the  

Las Vegas Aces of the WNBA went there. And then of  course, the Oakland Raiders became the Las Vegas  

Raiders. The NFL to me lost all their moral high  ground when they place a franchise in Las Vegas.

JOHN YANG: You say they've lost the moral high  ground but this week, Commissioner Goodell talked  

about the integrity of the game working to  maintain the integrity of the game. This  

season they've suspended a number of players for  violating gambling rules. And yet they're making  

money from this revenue from gambling sports  betting companies. What do you think of that?

ANDREW BRANDT: Yeah, well, you mentioned the  word integrity that has been the mantra of  

the NFL since I was working in it. Every time  they thought sports betting it's the integrity,  

integrity, integrity, we've come to a point  where monetization has outdueled integrity.

Leagues, teams, owners can embrace  sports betting. Their investors in
