Mid-episode the hosts pull up Polymarket's own odds on the bill — 26% and falling — and by the hot seat neither guest thinks it passes before the midterms, though Wall says an accepted ethics text would put him at 100%. The back half ranges across the tribal-gaming and NFL challenges to prediction-market jurisdiction, the stablecoin yield compromise (with Wall's guarantee the banks re-ask for yield within 18 months), and DSA's financial-literacy case that inclusion without education is 'access without empowerment.'
