And I can tell when the current 10 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 3: mayor is not running for reelection is that the streets 11 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 3: aren't plowed. I mean, we still have like six inches 12 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 3: of snow on the streets. And you know it's always 13 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 3: when someone runs for a re election, they always keep 14 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 3: the streets clear. But you can really tell that Mayor 15 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 3: Bowser here in DC not running because they've done nothing 16 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 3: to the streets. 17 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 18 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: I was glad you pointed out as Marabouser and that 19 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 2: you are in d C because you know, we've we've 20 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 2: had problems with snow removal here in the City of 21 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: Cincinnati recently, and I'm not quite sure the jury is 22 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 2: still out on yesterday's snow removal efforts. Although it looked 23 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: like they at least did a measurably better job with 24 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: this huge It was a record snowfall. It was like 25 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 2: the largest snowfall in twenty years here. So I will 26 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 2: acknowledge that their job was much a little bit more 27 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: difficult than normal. But failure in DC comes as no 28 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: surprise to my listening audience. 29 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 3: Dave Williams, Dave, they deployed the streetcar to play snow 30 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: in the. 31 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 2: I really would you said you started out your sentence 32 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: day I I really thought you were going to say 33 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: something about the trolley music not playing in the background. 34 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: Is the intro to your your segment here on the 35 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: Morning Show? 36 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: Anyhow? 37 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm sure someday you and I will be 38 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 2: talking about Leg two of the Cincinnati Streetcar. 39 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: But not today. 40 00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 3: Is this? 41 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: I know one of the one of the topics of 42 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: conversation is the D banking crisis. Is this D banking crisis? 43 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 2: The same thing is Eric Holder's Operation Choke Point, where 44 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: legitimate businesses were targeted because the government didn't like them 45 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 2: gun manufacturers and things like that, payday lenders, and then 46 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: just denying them the opportunity to bank simply because they 47 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 2: ran a foul of the administration's policies or ideas or 48 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 2: thoughts on matters like that. 49 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 3: Actually is an absolutely this has been happening for decades, 50 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 3: is that the government says, we don't like a particular business, 51 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 3: so we're not going to allow them to bank, hence 52 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: the d banking. And this is again, this is weaponization 53 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 3: of the federal government. It's happening in both administrations or 54 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 3: all administrations, i should say, and it's really frustrating because 55 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 3: what happens is you have the banks that you know, listen, 56 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 3: you think what you want to think about about banks 57 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 3: and big banks. But the fact of the matter is 58 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 3: we need these financial institutions and we don't get to 59 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 3: pick and choose, like the government shouldn't be picking and 60 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 3: choosing saying this is an activity we like, this is 61 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: an activity we don't like, and that's the problem. And 62 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: then what they'll do is they'll go after the banks 63 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: and they will you know, not allow them to merge. 64 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 3: They'll have all sorts of regulations. And you know, this 65 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 3: is happening not just from Democrats, also Republicans. You have 66 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 3: Roger Marshall from Kansas who is trying to take away 67 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 3: rewards programs for banks, and these are the travel rewards, 68 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 3: the cash back rewards. So there's a lot going on 69 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 3: in the banking industry, and it's one of the most 70 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 3: heavily regulated industries in this country, going back to twenty 71 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 3: ten Dodds Frank which really completely changed the banking landscape 72 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 3: of this country. 73 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 2: Well, isn't that where the power comes from. I mean, 74 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 2: you know, if you're a business out of the world 75 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 2: and you're getting prior your bank is getting pressure from 76 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: the federal government, the natural logical response will be like 77 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: my dad to say, I got two words for and 78 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: they ain't happy birthday. This is a lawful business. I 79 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: can bank with them. They're not engaged in criminal activity 80 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: the best of my knowledge, so screw you. But that's 81 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: not what happens. It's the regulatory sort of damicles that 82 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: they threaten banks with. It's the fact that there is 83 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 2: no way in hell, given the regulatory nightmare you just mentioned, 84 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 2: could ever possibly have every I dotted and t's cross. 85 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: And so they threaten to come in and do an audit, 86 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: a compliance audit to see if you're in compliance with 87 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: all the federal rules. That means the banks have to 88 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: lawyer up dedicate entire legal departments to dealing with the 89 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: document requests from the government. It's expensive, time consuming, and 90 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 2: it might result in them being fine. So yeah, okay, 91 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,239 Speaker 2: we won't do business with you anymore. 92 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 3: And here's the result is that you have these heavy 93 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 3: handed regulations. Who's able to comply? Who has the money? 94 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 3: The larger banks, yep, right, they're able to comply with this, 95 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 3: and the smaller banks they go away. I mean banks 96 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 3: have closed. Realize how many smaller banks and community banks 97 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 3: have closed over the last ten, fifteen, twenty years because 98 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 3: of this. And they're saying that they want to go 99 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 3: after the big banks. Well you're not. You are not 100 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 3: going after the big banks. 101 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: They're the ones that. 102 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 3: Are surviving these regulations as the exact opposite of what 103 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 3: we should be doing. And listen, I'm not saying it's 104 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 3: the wild wild West of banking and financial institutions. But 105 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 3: you know, the government needs to chill and they really 106 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: need to, you know, pair back some of these regulations, 107 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 3: and especially Dodd Frank, I mean, people don't understand that 108 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: twenty ten really just set this country on a really 109 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 3: bad path of financial regulation. And now they're trying to 110 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 3: look at crypto and regulate cryptos. So I don't trust 111 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 3: the government, you know, with anything when it comes to 112 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 3: financial regulation. I mean the government's thirty eight trillion dollars 113 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 3: in debt. This is not an entity that I trust 114 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 3: making decisions about anybody's money. 115 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 2: That's a good point. Made me think of the US 116 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 2: postal system there when you talk entities that aren't run 117 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: very well, but you know, pivoting over as we try 118 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 2: to unpackage the reason our medical bills are so high. 119 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 2: Do you think the regulatory nightmare that is hospital and 120 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 2: medicine regulations generally speaking, have anything to do with that. 121 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 2: Dave Williams from the Taxpayer Protection Lines. 122 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, boy. 123 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 3: You know medical insurance medical coverage is so messed up 124 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 3: in this country. Is that you go to an emergency 125 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 3: room and you have no idea how much a service costs, 126 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 3: right because it's taken care of through the insurance. And 127 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 3: then you have the three forty B prescription program. You 128 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 3: have all these different layers of burocracy, and I know 129 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 3: I've probably tripped a wire inside your brainway you mentioned that. 130 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: My wife is now laughing right out loud right now. 131 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 2: She wanted to get three forty B is her license 132 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: plate one time. She knows about that stuff. That's our job. 133 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, and we are so far away from what a 134 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 3: free market or you know, capitalism is when it comes 135 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 3: to healthcare, and at the center of it is the 136 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 3: government always right, the government is always at the center 137 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: of this, and they're always instituting new rules, new regulations, 138 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 3: and we're not embracing technology and innovation. And there's so 139 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 3: many ways we can do this. Tell them medicine, you know, 140 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 3: we're using it more, but the government still stands in 141 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 3: the way of it. Smoking cessation, you know, we have 142 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 3: these new products that are helping people that the FDA 143 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 3: is standing, you know, in the middle of that. We 144 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 3: can't use these products. Consumers don't have access to products 145 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 3: that they should have other countries. You look at Sweden 146 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 3: and I'm going to go off on a little bit 147 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 3: of tangent here, but Sweden has been using pouches and 148 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 3: snooze for hundreds of years and they are smoke free. 149 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 3: This is a country that has been determined to be 150 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 3: smoke free because they are embracing alternatives to traditional cigarettes. 151 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 2: Nicotine delivery systems that don't require combustion, are non carcinogenic, 152 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: and no, nicotine will not kill you. Maybe if you 153 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 2: have high blood pressure, it might be bad for you, 154 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: but it is not in and of itself a carcinogen. 155 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 2: That's why a little zin pouch or a vape or 156 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: something that delivers without smoking does not cause cancer, should 157 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 2: be embraced in an effort to just get people to 158 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 2: quit smoking. That's your father, Am I right? And you've 159 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: heard from you before on that. 160 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 3: You're absolutely right. Three and a half packs a day 161 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: back in the seventies. I wish zin, I wish all 162 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 3: these other products were available in the mid nineteen seventies. 163 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 3: They weren't. They are now, So let's embrace them. Let's 164 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 3: make them available to the general public. 165 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 2: Amen, brother, Ah, something inside me wants to go down 166 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 2: the road of eliminating carbon dioxide. But I'm not going 167 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 2: to subject my listening audience that. Don't go away. Dave oneings. 168 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 2: We're going to talk about more regulations on housing artificial intelligence. 169 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: And here's what I want to start with this one 170 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 2: sports betting sevent fifeen right now.

Sports wagering, I mean, if they were getting 210 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 2: ready to talk about legalizing sports betting, you and I 211 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: could sit down and come up with an entire list 212 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 2: of reasons why it might be a bad idea. Most 213 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 2: notably that now we've got college basketball players making gazillions 214 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: of dollars by shaving points. You didn't see that coming, 215 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 2: did you, Dave. So, of course a problem demands legislative response. 216 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 2: They have allowed sports gambling. I see, Dave. I don't 217 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: engage in it. My dad taught me a valuable lesson 218 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 2: on gambling. I believe it was in nineteen seventy two 219 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: Kentucky Derby. He took secretariat and gave me the entire 220 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 2: field beyond secretariat, and he took fifty cents from my 221 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 2: seven year old hand. 222 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: You can't afford to lose it. Don't bet it. 223 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 2: So I don't bet on sports, But this is, I mean, 224 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 2: it almost is really really appealing because if you're watching 225 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: the game and you can place a bet on something 226 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 2: that's gonna happen, like in thirty seconds, that really does 227 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 2: elevate your interest in your interaction with the game, Like, yes, 228 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 2: he's gonna make the field goal, No, he's going to 229 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: miss a field goal. There's odds on that you can 230 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 2: place an instant bet, boom, the kicks over, and you've 231 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,599 Speaker 2: automatically know whether you want or lost. That's kind of 232 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 2: interactive and exciting but what is this legislation that you're 233 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 2: against this or urging amendments to house build twenty two five. 234 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 3: Well, first let me say I have a kind of 235 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 3: similar experience with gambling, is that I don't and that 236 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 3: doesn't mean I don't you know, other people can gamble. 237 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a libertary man, you know, 238 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 2: knock yourself out exactly. 239 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 3: So you know, my whole philosophy at gambling is I 240 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 3: don't want some twenty two year old kid who might 241 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 3: be going through a breakup with his girlfriend to determine 242 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 3: whether I have more money or not in my pocket. 243 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 3: You know, I like to control my own destiny when 244 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 3: it comes to when it comes to my finances. So 245 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 3: you know, listen, I get uplight enough about about sports. 246 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 3: I don't need the added thrill quote thrill of losing money. Yeah, 247 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 3: when it comes to when it comes to this and 248 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 3: what's happening really across the country is there they're doing 249 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: two things. They want to limit the sports gambling. They 250 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 3: either want to just make it illegal or raise the tax. 251 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 3: And they say, you know, you raise a tax on something, 252 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 3: people are going to do less of it. Well, with 253 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 3: with gambling, people are going to go offshore. We have 254 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 3: seen this time and time again where the illicit market 255 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 3: just will explode if you don't have a you know, 256 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 3: regulated market here in the US. And all these warnings 257 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 3: about well people are losing their houses, their cars, the 258 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 3: average bet is like fifteen or twenty dollars a month. 259 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 3: I mean, listen, there are people who spend a lot more. 260 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 3: I'm not saying that there aren't, but if you use 261 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 3: at the averages, it is not outrageous. It is not 262 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 3: something that is uh, you know, is sweeping the country 263 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 3: and it's making you know, people lose their houses. And again, 264 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 3: just because it's something that I don't like doesn't mean 265 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 3: that other people can't partake it. I think that's what 266 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: happens is that so many government officials say, I don't 267 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 3: like this activity, so I'm going to ban it. That 268 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 3: is the absolute wrong way of doing this. And yes, Brian, 269 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 3: you and I are libertarians, you know, to the core. 270 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 3: And if people want to want to gamble, it's their money. 271 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 3: They can gamble taking you know, as they want. 272 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: Amen. So what's this bill's aimed at doing? 273 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 3: Well, the bill is really trying and this is going 274 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 3: from state to state. You know, saying that you're gonna 275 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 3: rest ripped gambling and online sports betting. 276 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: Just outright restricted. 277 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I my understanding, it allows sports 278 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 2: betting on apps that are at on site at existing 279 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 2: betting facilities, so that I guess it controls that sort 280 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 2: of you know, operating outside the US market that you referenced. 281 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, And what they're trying to do is they're trying 282 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: to limit it so much and has so many rules 283 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,239 Speaker 3: and regulations that you know, it's going to be impossible 284 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 3: for there to be any sort of you know, apps 285 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 3: that you can use in your in your house, right 286 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: and listen, this is this is being done by a 287 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 3: lot of the larger casinos because they want the business. 288 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 3: They hate the competition. 289 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 2: Oh sure, of course, and anything that would guarantee the 290 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 2: state getting its fair share of the revenue or it's 291 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 2: share of whatever they think is fair of the revenue. 292 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: That that's why it's becoming a phenomenon. It's like, you know, 293 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 2: it's fifteen twenty years ago. The idea of having casinos 294 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 2: literally in every state was just sort of a pipe 295 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 2: dream for some next thing, you know, woke up with 296 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: the idea. Well, wait a minute, why are we letting 297 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada gather all the money from 298 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: these gambling voids. 299 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: I want some of that. 300 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: Southeast Indiana had casinas long before Ohio did. Ohio saw 301 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: all the money going into Southeast Indiana thought maybe we 302 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 2: should legalize gambling here and get the money. Same thing 303 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 2: with this. Got to go for the money. Yeah, it's 304 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 2: like legalizing weed. People are gonna smoke it. Dave, may 305 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: as well get some taxes out of it. That's what 306 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 2: our government believes. Anyway. What about artificial intelligence regulation? This 307 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: sounds like a scary thing to me, simply because our 308 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 2: elected officials probably have absolutely no idea what they're legislating over. 309 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 3: What's scarier than AI is a fifty states legislating how 310 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 3: you can use artificial intelligence. Imagine trying to figure out 311 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 3: if you're a business trying to figure out a patchwork 312 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 3: of regulations of artificial intelligence saying that, well, Kentucky does 313 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 3: it one way, Ohio another. I mean, this is why 314 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 3: and people are afraid again. You know, I think of 315 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 3: the pitchforks right, is technology is bad. We can't you know, 316 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:06,119 Speaker 3: embrace artificial intelligence. Well guess what spell check artificial intelligence 317 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 3: going to your banking app. Artificial intelligence. We're using it 318 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 3: day in and day out, and we can't. At last year, 319 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 3: fifteen hundred different bills were introduced in state legislatures for 320 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 3: artificial intelligence. Imagine if all those tolls were actually passed 321 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 3: and signed, this would be something that you know, no 322 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 3: business could really deal with. And that's why there has 323 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 3: to be a national framework here of you know, there 324 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 3: have to be consumer protections when it comes to AI, 325 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 3: like deep fakes, the deep porn fakes, that sort of thing. 326 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 3: But I'm concerned that we're going to lose the race 327 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 3: here when it comes to technology to other countries if 328 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 3: we start having these draconian regulations for artificial intelligence. 329 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more with you on that. Absolutely. I 330 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 2: am fearful of the future of our country and the 331 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 2: rest of the world. Honestly, with deep fakes, it's frightening stuff. 332 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 2: And most notably, and I've said it many times, within 333 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 2: the criminal justice, realm guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. You 334 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 2: can establish reasonable doubt pretty simply with an AI video 335 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 2: these days, because they look so damn real.
