I don't have a vote or a veto. So I'm thinking about things that I have control over or that I can impact. But I give him credit at least for this. He, He's not taxing all Ohioans. If you don't want to play, pay for this Cleveland Brown Stadium. Don't play sports. Bet and you won't pay a diamond tax for it. Well, as someone who occasionally wagers a few bucks on sports, whether there's a team in Ohio or not, we're going to find something to bet on, even if it's Premier League Soccer on a Saturday or Sunday morning as we're talking about football. (21:11–21:22)
