But that doesn't seem like a very high likelihood in the near future.
So yeah, I think for the foreseeable future, it's unfortunately going to be the wild, wild west.
Bye.
Bye.
Our bill would say that you can't place bets on government action.
That's kind of the simplest thing that it says, and for two reasons.
One, because it's just rife with opportunity for inside information.
But two, you don't want people inside government to be placing their own bets and to be pushing government action so that they make money.
I mean, what we know is that right before...
the United States struck Iran, there were a whole bunch of bets made.
So we struck Iran on Saturday and on Friday, a whole bunch of people made bets that the war was going to start the next day.
And it was an anomalous series of bets on no other day where there are a bunch of bets made that war will start in 24 hours.
So that clearly doesn't smell right.
But you also imagine some young guy in the Situation Room who has a bet that war is going to start on Saturday, pushing the war to start on Saturday, whether that's good for national security or not.
So our bill says, first, no bets on government action.
Second, it says, in an instance where there's one person that knows the outcome of a bet—
And controls the outcome of a bet.
That shouldn't be on a market either.
So is a particular singer going to appear in a Super Bowl halftime show, right?
That shouldn't be a bet because only that singer knows that and the people in there know.
