Welcome friends to episode number three two three of the way I heard it. This one is called

Reguflation and the right to try. Yes, Chuck, it's true. I went and made up a word and

God willing, we'll shoehorn it into the lexicon with a little help from this podcast.

I think it's a good word, Mike. It obviously obviously is a combination of the word regulation

and the other word inflation, putting them together to form regulation, which says that these

two things combined are worse than one thing by itself. Indeed they are. And these two things

are probably the top two enemies of Americans for prosperity. And we'll be talking about

that in the next hour or so. My guest is Akash Chogli, who's way up the food chain

in this fine organization. And yes, he has some very unflattering things to say about regulation.

And he is very concerned about the impact of inflation on all sorts of people. Our conversation

is not really a political one and AFP. I wouldn't describe them as a political organization

full disclosure. They do seem to come down on the conservative side of many issues. But what

they're really trying to do is get the barriers out of the way for all kinds of people who

are simply attempting to try to make a living in whatever legal way is possible. And as many

of you know, we sort of dance around this topic a lot, freelancing, an individual's right

to earn an honest living as a freelancer. It's a topic that keeps coming back up because

this pro act is now in Congress and making its way through those hallowed halls. And rightfully,

I think Chuck, scaring the hell out of a lot of people who are simply trying to make a living,

nearly 70 million people freelancer right now being affected by this thing.

Well, they will be terribly affected if it becomes law. Right now, you know, the pro act is basically

AB five on steroids. And to hear Akash talk about it, he says, if it is passed, it's going

to be even worse than AB five is in California. And we can't have that happen.
