YouTube Description
as posted by the channelGas prices are spiking, inflation won’t quit, the job market is shaking, and the gap between the wealthy and everyone else has never been wider. So what’s actually going on and who’s really paying the price? NBC News Senior Policy Reporter Shannon Pettypiece joins the pod. She’s been digging into this as part of an NBC News series, Unaffordable America. Plus, prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket have exploded into the mainstream, pulling in $4.5 billion during Super Bowl week alone, by exploiting a legal loophole that lets people bet on sports even where gambling is banned. But now, states and Congress are fighting back, with a new bipartisan Senate bill pushing for a federal crackdown. NBC News National Reporter Suzy Khimm explains what’s driving the pushback, and what could it mean for professional sports.
