Asked about a journalist being added to a classified Signal group chat: “People make mistakes and move forward.” He said “encrypted apps were encouraged” by the Biden administration and “the mission was highly successful.”

GU Politics @gupolitics.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Asked about President Trump’s threats towards Iran via social media, Waltz says other UN nations “understand the stakes” in Iran and “if we have a couple of mean tweets to free those people, so be it.”

000

GU Politics @gupolitics.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Elleithee asks Amb. Waltz if Congress should have authorized the use of force in Iran. “Every Republican and Democratic administration has deemed the War Powers Act as unconstitutional,” Waltz said. “Secretary Rubio has been there almost every week. They were given sufficient notice.”

010

GU Politics @gupolitics.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Amb. Waltz also notes that “the UN is on an absolutely unsustainable financial path. Its budget just keeps ballooning and ballooning. You know who pays it? The United States.”

010

GU Politics @gupolitics.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

When questioned on President Trump’s critique of the UN, Amb. Waltz says, “He's been critical, but he's also said there's tremendous potential, and my charge from him is to help us realize that potential."

Last night, GU Politics and the Psaros Center for Financial Markets and Policy hosted a panel conversation on politics and prediction markets. Thank you for joining us for a great conversation!

001

GU Politics @gupolitics.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

Thank you for following along with our event! From debates over prediction markets moving beyond sports into geopolitical events, to questions about maintaining market integrity, the conversation underscored the need for stronger disclosure and thoughtful regulatory line-drawing.

000

GU Politics @gupolitics.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

A student asked why insider trading is harmful. Brian Quintenz explained that the problem is fraud and the misappropriation of nonpublic information. When someone trades on information they have a duty not to use, or that belongs to someone else, it undermines market integrity and fairness.

000

GU Politics @gupolitics.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

How do we protect the investor in prediction markets? Amanda Fischer said stronger disclosure is needed, pointing to bets on whether Khamenei would leave power. When he was killed but hadn’t “left office,” participants were frustrated the market didn’t resolve as expected.

000

GU Politics @gupolitics.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

How are regulated markets changing and how that will shape the current administration? Brian Quintenz emphasized the need for disciplined line-drawing in regulation, while Amanda Fischer noted that these debates aren’t partisan, they are serious policy questions, accelerating since the Trump era.

000

GU Politics @gupolitics.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

The panel will feature Amanda Fischer (MPP '08), Policy Director and COO of Better Markets and former SEC Chief of Staff and Brian Quintenz (MBA '09), Former CFTC Commissioner and Kalshi Board Member, moderated by Dispatch Reporter Alex Demas.
