Kalshi
During a television interview, a public figure will speak on various topics. Specific markets will resolve based on whether certain exact words or phrases are uttered during the broadcast, focusing the analysis on the content of the live discussion.
The event involves determining whether James Talarico utters specific exact phrases or words during an official appearance on 'The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell.' Each market corresponds to a unique term or set of terms. Resolution relies primarily on video footage from the live broadcast or stream, supplemented by official transcripts if necessary. Only content included in the original broadcast qualifies; promotional material counts, but advertisements and externally sourced recordings do not. The speaker must be in an official capacity—private or off-mic comments are excluded. If the event is canceled, postponed beyond the specified window, or otherwise unable to resolve normally, the 'Event does not qualify' market resolves as Yes, and all others resolve as No. Postponements announced within one calendar day for rescheduling within 14 days allow markets to remain open.
