HH30: At Odds

This episode starts off with my two cents on the documentary "One of Us" and its subject, Hasidic Jews.

 

After that you will get the details on Tuesday's Senate vote to repeal the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule on class-action lawsuits against banks.

 

Finally, sports betting laws and the pending US Supreme Court case by the state of New Jersey seeking to invalidate the federal ban.
