Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Does Dustin Gouker Hate Prediction Markets?
Q: What about regulation and enforcement—will rules improve the space?
Gouker discusses the need for clearer, stronger regulatory frameworks (potentially a specialized division within the CFTC) to address insider trading, liquidity, and integrity concerns.
Does Dustin Gouker Hate Prediction Markets?
Q: Are prediction markets truly gambling or something different?
Gouker argues that many prediction markets function like gambling, especially when viewed as bets on outcomes, even if labeled otherwise for regulatory reasons.
Does Dustin Gouker Hate Prediction Markets?
Q: Why do you hate prediction markets so much?
The host asks Gouker to explain his critique; Gouker clarifies that his issue is with the marketing, mischaracterizations, and certain practices within some prediction market companies rather than the concept itself.
Fixing Gambling Tax Law with Congresswoman Dina Titus
Q: Why is it three words that would fix the problem, and what are the risks of overcomplication?
Returning to 100 percent deductibility is a simple, clear fix that avoids the complexities and potential misinterpretations of longer, more detailed provisions; simpler language reduces the chance of unintended consequences.
Fixing Gambling Tax Law with Congresswoman Dina Titus
Q: What are the main legislative vehicles being considered to get this done?
Options include a standalone Fair Bet Act, amendments to the NDAA, amendments to the Appropriations Bill, and leveraging the Tax Extenders Bill as year-end legislation; some bills have co-sponsors from different committees, which helps bipartisan support.
