Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie went after President Biden and former President Trump. Joe Biden hides in his basement and won't answer as to why he's raising the debt the way he's done. And Donald Trump hides behind the walls of his golf clubs and won't show up here to answer questions like all the rest of us are up here to answer. Meantime, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said Democrats are shutting down the American dream with their reckless behavior. He then asked, where is Joe Biden in the shutdown debate? We're four days away from a possible shutdown. The Senate is working to pass a bill funding the government through November 17th. But House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said today he doesn't see support in his party for it. McCarthy is trying to work with the most conservative Republicans who demand more spending cuts.

"Speaker Kevin McCarthy. But the big question is what comes next? Congresswoman Pramila Paul, one of the most liberal members of the House, tells CNN that moderate Republicans should join them in a power sharing agreement or at least elect Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the next speaker. We Democrats will govern in the same way that we governed for the last two years when we had the majority with a very slim margin. We were able to get a tremendous amount done. But that seems unlikely as Democrats went along with Representative Matt Gaetz's effort to remove McCarthy. In the meantime, Republican Patrick McHenry of North Carolina has been named temporary speaker. Senator Maria Catwell is demanding hearings on the fentanyl crisis. Specifically, she wants the Committee on Indian Affairs to address the disproportionate death toll experienced by Native American communities. We want to make sure that at the federal level that local communities, law enforcement, treatment centers need more help and support.

Families across the U .S. including here in Washington say it's been tough to get the new COVID vaccine for their kids. Northwest News Ryan Harris talked to health officials. Supply chain disruptions are not only keeping the vaccine manufacturers from making enough of the 2023 2024 COVID shots to go around, but also to get them delivered. Then providers open appointments because they've ordered a certain number of doses, only to find they're canceling appointments because their came order up short. However, Heather Drummond, the state health department's COVID -19 vaccine director tells me they were promised the supply will right size within a month of FDA approval.

A member of our team was also told some COVID vaccines were under a recall, but County King Health's immunization program director Libby Page says, we haven't heard of any recalls. Turns out it was just a lag because when the new shots were authorized, the old ones were immediately deauthorized. So they had to be pulled while the new ones began shipping. Ryan Harris, Northwest News Radio. One of the big takeaways from a new survey UW's from Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation is that confidence in vaccine is very low. survey The of people in 21 countries find vaccine hesitancy for all vaccines and not just COVID. The main reasons people gave were worries about side effects or that vaccines are incompatible with their personal beliefs. IHME's Dr. Ali Mokdad says leaders need to lead by example. And sometimes people in different countries when they don't trust the vaccine or they feel a vaccine is provided for free in a country where service is you usual, have to struggle to get it and pay for it. We need to overcome that and say these vaccines are for free because it saves a lot of lives and money and to build that trust will take time. Mokdad says a campaign with a consistent message and trusted voices would go a long way to boosting vaccine confidence. Time to check in with Bill Swartz for a Beacon Plumbing Sports update.

The Crypto Overnighter
A highlight from 676:GOP vs CBDCs, JPEXs Collapse, and Vivek Ramaswamys Crypto Vow
"Good evening and welcome to The Crypto Overnight -er. I'm Nickademus, and I will be your host as we take a look at the latest cryptocurrency news and analysis. So sit back, relax, and let's get started. And remember, none of this is financial advice. And it's 10 p .m. Pacific on Tuesday, September 21st, 2023. Welcome back to The Crypto Overnight -er. Yes, but we do have the news, so let's talk about that. Tonight, we're diving deep into the House Republicans' latest move against central bank digital currencies. We'll also unpack the turmoil surrounding JPEGs in Hong Kong and what it means for global crypto regulation. GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy has some bold plans for crypto policy, and you'll want to hear them. Meanwhile, the Republic of Korea grapples with a significant offshore crypto stash, and PayPal pushes its stablecoin into Venmo. And don't go away, we have an update on the never -ending Mt. Gox saga. House Republicans advanced a bill opposing U .S. central bank digital currency efforts. The bill, known as the CBDC Anti -Surveillance State Act, aims to prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing a CBDC to individuals. It was introduced by Representative Tom Emmer and has gained the support of 60 members in Congress. The bill has passed the House Financial Services Committee and will next face a congressional vote. Democrats, led by Maxine Waters, criticized the bill. Waters renamed it the CBDC Anti -Innovation Act and argues that it could threaten the U .S. dollar status as the global reserve currency. The bill has also faced scrutiny for its language and its impact on CDBC research. The Federal Reserve has been exploring the possibility of issuing a CDBC, but is not close to developing one. Some conservative politicians, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, have taken strong positions against CDBCs. The bill prevents the issuance of a CDBC without an act of Congress. This aligns with the Federal Reserve's stance. The committee rejected amendments to the bill and passed it, recommending it to the full House on a vote of 27 to 20. The advancement of the CBDC Anti -Surveillance State Act is a significant move in the ongoing battle over financial privacy and government control. Emmer's bill is a clear attempt to seize as an overreach by the Biden administration. His concerns about CDBCs turning into surveillance tools echo a broader distrust of government power. Maxine Waters' opposition to the bill highlights a divide not just among politicians, but also in the nation. Her renaming of the bill to the CDBC Anti -Innovation Act suggests that Democrats see CDBCs as a potential innovation, not a threat. However, her stance could be seen as naive, especially when considering the potential for CDBCs to be used for mass surveillance, as is the case in China. The bill's passage to the House Financial Services Committee is a telling sign of the times. It reflects a growing skepticism about the role of centralized financial systems and a preference for decentralized solutions. The rejection of amendments to the bill, especially those that would allow the Federal Reserve to study the Chinese digital yuan, indicates a reluctance to even explore centralized digital currencies. All that said, I don't see it passing. I've said many times that when crypto becomes a left versus right issue, both sides lose. The same thing goes for CDBCs. This bill likely doesn't stand a chance of becoming law because I don't see it passing the Senate. As divided as Congress is, I don't see the two sides putting down their torches and pitchforks long enough to do some good for the country. From lawmakers playing defense against CDBCs in the U .S. to a complete offensive on crypto exchanges in Hong Kong. Next up, the whirlwind around JPEGs.

The Breakdown
A highlight from Anti-CBDC Bills Advance in Congress
"Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW. It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. What's going on, guys? It is Monday, September 18th, and today we are talking about anti -CBDC legislation being advanced. Before we get into that, however, if you are enjoying The Breakdown, please go subscribe to it, give it a rating, give it a review, or, if you want to dive deeper into the conversation, come join us on the Breakers Discord. You can find a link in the show notes or go to bit .ly slash breakdown pod. Hello, friends. Happy Monday. Welcome to another week, another frankly weirdly quiet week right now. I don't know. There's something out there. There's some bad juju. I guess it could just be another example of this weird period of the cycle that we're in that's sort of past the worst, but definitely before the good stuff starts again, but I'm excited. But we are not going to dwell on that. Instead, we are going to hop, skip, and jump through a number of things that have happened over the last few days, kicking it off with what has become a surprising political issue this election cycle, which is central bank digital currencies. The House Financial Services Committee will hold a markup section on Wednesday, which will include two bills aimed at preventing the issuance of a US CBDC. The first bill is Tom Emmer's CBDC Anti -Surveillance State Act, which would prevent the Federal Reserve from offering any products or services directly to individuals. Fed branches would also be prohibited from keeping accounts for individuals or issuing a CBDC or similar digital assets. Emmer's bill was recently reintroduced during last week's CBDC hearing and now boasts 49 co -sponsors. On September 14th, the House Majority Whip tweeted, A governmental tool for financial surveillance is un -American. We must urgently develop a digital financial system that is 1. Open and freely accessible to all. 2. Without requiring permission from the government or anybody else. 3. Private safeguarding the user's identity. In a separate tweet, he had said, If not open, permissionless, and private, like cash, a CBDC is nothing more than a CCP -style surveillance tool that can be weaponized to oppress the American way of life. The second bill is sponsored by Alex Mooney and is called the Digital Dollar Pilot Prevention Act. That bill is structured as an amendment of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 that would prevent Federal Reserve branches from even conducting CBDC testing and development. Now, of course, senior Fed officials have gone on the record to say they have no plans to issue a CBDC without the approval of Congress. In May, Minneapolis Fed President Neil Kashkari even questioned the need for a CBDC given the existence of instant payment fintech services. He noted that CBDCs would be a powerful financial surveillance tool and could enforce negative interest rates, but questioned why the U .S. government would have any interest in constructing such a system. Now, all that said, some Fed branches still do seem to be interested in the development of CBDC technology. The San Francisco Fed, for example, recently advertised a position for a crypto -architect for a CBDC project, and Project Hamilton was concluded and wound down in December after two years of collaboration between the Boston Fed and MIT. Now, in terms of where this legislation actually is, the markup process allows committee members to comment on the drafting of bills. A vote is then taken on whether or not to approve legislation for a full House vote. Both bills are only a few paragraphs long, so shouldn't drag out to an all -day, contested affair as we recently saw with the stablecoin bill. Instead, the bills could act as a bellwether for congressional sentiment around CBDCs. Multiple Republican presidential candidates have made opposition to a CBDC a part of their campaign. For example, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said at a July event, If I am president, on day one we will nix central bank digital currency. Done. Dead. Not happening in this country. Outsider Democrat candidate Robert F. Kennedy has also been outspoken on the need to oppose the issuance of a CBDC. So given all that, if either of these bills progress to a vote in the House, they could be an opportunity to put members of Congress on record about their support for a CBDC coming into election season. Now, we could spend shows and shows and shows talking about why this seemingly small issue, at least to the rest of the world. Obviously, I'm not talking about for our audience and our community. But this issue, which is for all intents and purposes very small to most people, has become such a central piece of the opposition narrative heading into this election cycle. I think there are probably a few different elements of it. One, I think it feels to many like an extension of government power. And as we've seen and discussed, it is quite clear that how much power governments have is going to be a major issue. And of course, while that's coming from the Republican side of the House, it's also coming from Democrats. And this is perhaps not surprising. It's not surprising because we're still coming off the COVID period, which brought up major questions of how much authority the government has to be involved in people's lives. And so in many ways, this is an extension of that conversation. I think there is also a little bit of nervousness around technology in general. This is something that we've seen in crypto. It's certainly something that we see in AI as well. And while this is technology in the hands of the government, not technology in the hands of big tech companies, it still has that feeling of lots of data, lots of power, lots of information, big black holes, and not a clear way for citizens to exert influence when it comes to this important domain of their lives. Anyway, right now, there's no one who's really actively arguing for a CBDC, which could frankly be another reason why it's a nice political issue. It gets to stay a little bit, at least in the realm of metaphor for some of these larger topics, but it's still something that can be legislated upon with lower stakes than going after government power directly. Anyways, it's one we're going to keep an eye on to see just to what extent it continues to be an issue in elections or whether it's just part of this early narrative testing process at this very nascent point in the election cycle. Next up, we go halfway around the world to Hong Kong, where the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has issued a warning to crypto users that unregistered crypto firms could be presenting themselves as banks. The HKMA, which serves as the region's banking regulator, said that firms which use language associated with the banking industry could be in violation of recently implemented Hong Kong crypto regulations. The regulator said it had become aware of firms using terms including crypto bank and offering quote banking services. They even went so far as to call out firms that use the word deposits or promote their quote savings plans as low risk with high return. The HKMA said in a statement that quote, The regulator noted that these firms advertising themselves as crypto banks were not supervised by the HKMA and are not covered by the region's deposit protection scheme. Now, Hong Kong's crypto regulations coming into force in June was one of the big stories of this year. The rules were intended to permit retail crypto trading on regulated exchanges and they're being administered by the local securities agency rather than the banking regulator. Since then, only a small handful of firms have been granted licenses. This includes HashKey and OSL, who were licensed to provide retail trading exchanges, as well as Swiss -based crypto bank Ciba, which has received in principle approval to offer over -the -counter derivatives trading and asset management services. Now, enforcement of Hong Kong's crypto regulations has also begun in earnest. Last Wednesday, the securities regulator issued a warning against Dubai -based crypto exchange J -PEX. They alleged the firm had been promoting its products and services in Hong Kong without applying for a license. A press release from the securities regulator included allegations that J -PEX were advertising their services using the prohibited terms deposits, savings or earnings. They noted that many J -PEX products had quote, The regulator also accused influencers and local OTC desks of making false and misleading statements on social media that J -PEX had applied for licensing. Following the warning, J -PEX employees seemingly disappeared from their booth at the Token 2049 conference in Singapore, where they were a platinum sponsor. And on Sunday, the exchange ramped up withdrawal fees to $999 and also implemented $1 ,000 withdrawal limits, essentially being a withdrawal halt. Now, J -PEX addressed this on Sunday, blaming quote unfair treatment by relevant institutions in Hong Kong towards J -PEX. They said that quote, J -PEX said they were currently negotiating with these market makers to resolve liquidity issues. The exchange promised to quote, They claim that emergency withdrawals are still being dealt with manually and also announced that trading on their earned trading platform would be halted on Monday. Now, adding something to the story, on Monday, the South China Morning Post reported that local police had received at least 83 complaints about J -PEX involving assets worth around $4 .3 million. They say the securities regulator had escalated investigations to the Commercial Crime Bureau on suspicions of fraud. Follow -up reporting said that lawyer turned crypto influencer Joseph Lamb -Chalk had been arrested on Monday in connection to promotion of the exchange. Sources also said an office building had been raided on Monday morning. Now, there's a lot that's actually really worth watching here. Hong Kong creating this licensing regime is not just relevant for citizens of Hong Kong, although it certainly is for them. This has been seen, rightly so, as a marker of slightly shifting Chinese attitudes towards crypto in general. When these rules were first announced as forthcoming at the end of last year, it was widely anticipated that it would include a retail trading ban. Remember, crypto trading has been banned in China for the last few years. However, in the wake of FTX, and in particular the US's aggressive response to it, it appeared that the Chinese authorities might be reconsidering their position and in so doing using Hong Kong as a vehicle for testing the waters on the market without changing any policy in mainland China. In that light, I don't know exactly what this enforcement action around J -PEX actually signals. Arresting an influencer certainly sends a signal, but to what the ends of that signal are, I'm just not sure. I do think, however, it's probably worth weighting this issue as a little bit more significant than just a regional crackdown, as it may have bigger implications given the unique role Hong Kong plays relative to China when it comes to crypto. Next up, we move back to bankruptcy proceedings in the US where Gemini have slammed the proposed settlement between DCG and their subsidiary, Genesis, calling it misleading at best in a court filing on Friday. Now you'll remember that earlier last week, DCG had filed a proposed deal which would settle approximately $630 million in outstanding loan payments to Genesis. DCG said the deal could result in 90 % recoveries for unsecured creditors and recoveries as high as 95 % to 110 % for Gemini Earn customers who form the largest creditor entity in the Genesis bankruptcy. Gemini said in their court filing, however, that, quote, DCG touts proposed recovery rates that are a total mirage, misleading at best and deceptive at worst. Make no mistake, Gemini lenders will not actually receive anything close in real value terms to the proposed recovery rates under the current agreement in principle, end quote. DCG had proposed a repayment schedule for $1 .65 billion in total loans over seven years. Although the agreement had a substantial payment in the first year, criticism of the deal noted that recovery calculations were contingent on crypto -denominated payments becoming more valuable over time. I think the numbers were something like Bitcoin going to $85 ,000 and ETH going to $8 ,500. Gemini customers are owed around $1 .1 billion and it appears that taking on long -term risks associated with crypto prices and the continued solvency of DCG are simply not acceptable to them. Gemini said in their filing, quote, receiving a fractional share of interest in principal payments over seven years from an incredibly risky counterparty is not even remotely equivalent to receiving the actual cash and digital assets owed today by Genesis to the Gemini lenders. They added that, quote, DCG's proposal is markedly parallel to an attempt to satisfy its significant obligations through the issuance of IOUs instead of paying any real cash and digital assets. Gemini lawyers also slammed DCG's negotiation tactics, claiming they had made efforts to suggest that they would become desperate enough to take a significant haircut just to move on. On their creditors update blog, Gemini put it even more pointedly, stating that, quote, DCG is gaslighting creditors and testing earned users' resolve by baiting them with false promises of high recoveries. Now, hanging over the current state of the Genesis bankruptcy is the firm's right to exclusively propose recovery plans. The judge had granted a 30 -day extension to the exclusivity period through to early next month. That order was contested by Gemini and ended up falling short of the 60 -day extension requested by Genesis. After the exclusivity period has elapsed, creditors will be able to organize their own proposed deal to bring the bankruptcy to a close. Finally, separately on Friday, Gemini updated their lawsuit against DCG and CEO Barry Silbert. They now include four direct allegations that intercompany loans between DCG and Genesis were designed to, quote, make the market believe it had actually fixed Genesis's cratering financial condition. So there you have it. There are a number of other things that happened over the weekend or around the end of last week that we may touch on in conversations later. Mark Cuban got fished for almost a million bucks, for example. The New York Times leaked parts of a 15 ,000 -word Sam Bankman -Fried ramble that amounts to a very self -pitying reflection on the state of affairs. And Google's head of Web3 is begging the industry to build something actually useful. For now, though, we are going to wrap it there. We're going to get to the hard work of building back this industry from the ground up. I appreciate you hanging out here with me as we go about that work. So until next time, be safe and take care of each other. Peace.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Dr. James Lindsay (Encore)
"Welcome to the Eric Mataxas Show. We'll get you from point A to point B. But if you're looking for point C, well, buddy, you're on your own. But if you wait right here, in just about two minutes, the bus to point C will be coming right by. And now here's your Ralph Cramden of the Airways, Eric Mataxas. Hey there, folks. Right now, I want to briefly interview our friend Robert Netsley. This is something I don't know. I get so excited about how it's possible to change the world with where our money is invested. I'll be talking about it. But there's an action point. You have to go to inspireadvisors .com slash Eric. I'm going to repeat this over and over. I want everyone on this program to do it. It is free. It is free. And it is very, very important. We need to get activated, folks. We need to bust out of the inertia. And we need to get activated. And so, where your money is, inspireadvisors .com slash Eric. That's the action point. But let me play my interview with Robert Netsley. Folks, you know that when I find the solution to a problem, I get very excited. If you've been listening to this program for a while, you know that I talk about people of faith being active in their communities, in how they spend their money, in how they vote, in every way. And one of the things that got me really excited when I discovered Robert Netsley, he's with Inspire Investing, he is helping people do something, which I guess we can talk about it, is even better than just spending your money in good places and not spending your money in bad places. But where is your money invested? Is it invested in companies that share your values? Is your money invested in companies that are working against your values, and I would say against God's values? And so, we bring him on now. Robert Netsley, welcome back. It's a pleasure to be here, Eric. As always, thanks for having me. I get excited every time I talk to you just because there's a solution, because this is the kind of thing that I would want to dream up. I would say, can't somebody figure out a way, when we talk about all the money that's out there, people of faith in America. What's that? No, I wasn't saying anything. Yeah, people of faith in America have a lot of money. It's not just they spend a lot of money, but they have a lot of money invested in retirement funds, whatever. And a lot of that, as I've learned in talking to you, is with companies that are really bad, that are really woke, that are working against everything we believe in. So, then the question is, how do I figure that out? How do I get my money out of those places? And you have come up with a solution, and I should tell people, I'll repeat it again and again, inspireadvisors .com slash Eric. That's the website, inspireadvisors .com slash Eric. If people go to inspireadvisors .com slash Eric, Robert Netsley, what will they find there? How have you solved this problem? Well, they'll find an offer that our staff has done for, I don't know how many, countless of thousands of investors around the country, around the world. And we're making a special offer here for your listeners is to just help you understand what you own. It's the first step. And so, my personal story, I was working at one of the big four Wall Street investment bank in their investment department. And long story short, just realized one day, here I am president of our local pro -life pregnancy center, and I own three stocks of companies manufacturing abortion drugs. So, every time a young lady goes across the street to plan a parent who has an abortion, I just made money on that transaction. I literally profited from that transaction. And then you go down the laundry list of all sorts of other things that are going on in the portfolio, LGBT activism, human trafficking, et cetera. And I'm investing in these businesses, I'm profiting from these businesses, and likely so are you. And I'm not here to be your moral police, that's not my position. But what we want to do is help people understand what it is that they're putting their money into. It's not just a mutual fund ticker symbol with some dollars attached. There are real companies doing real things, some of which are incredibly evil and immoral, and it would turn your stomach if you realized what the money is that they're putting into your pocket and what you're helping to fund. And basically, so this report will show you exactly down at the nitty gritty of on this date, this company gave this much money to Planned Parenthood, let's say, or what have you. And so that you can then be informed and then make informed decisions about how you want to invest your money, which we believe is God's money in a way that honors him, helps society thrive, stops undermining your deeply held values, the list goes on. So, that's God's mandate is this commandment to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, strength. And the idea is that if you act like, well, that doesn't matter, everything matters. And it's only inertia, which is the devil owns inertia. When you don't do anything, the devil wins and his values win. So, here is an opportunity, folks, for you to take your money out of these companies or to even know where your money is invested. What is your money, which you're responsible for? It's God's money. Where, who's it helping? What are you invested in? So, if you go to inspireadvisors .com slash Eric, I'll say it again, inspireadvisors .com slash Eric, you can get a report. You can learn, this is free, obviously, Robert, this is free. Right. Yeah. Complimentary, totally complimentary. We're passionate about spreading a movement. There are millions of Christians and others around the world who are moving their money by the billions of dollars out of the woke investment firms that are doing everything they can to, frankly, ruin our cherished ways of life in many ways and just put it into investments that just are as equally wise and financially viable and everything else. They just happen to be in companies that are just doing their job. If they're making shoes, they're making shoes, not sponsoring abortion legislation or what have you. So, yeah, totally free.

As I think I promised you in the previous segment, today it's my privilege to introduce to you someone to whom I think you ought to have been introduced much earlier than now. His name is James Lindsay. Some of you will be familiar with him. He's tough to sum up, and those are my favorite kind of people because I aspire to be one of those kind of people. His bio says he's an American -born author, mathematician. You see, we've already taken a sharp left, and professional troublemaker. He's written many books on a range of subjects, religion, philosophy of science, postmodern theory. Two, he's a leading expert on critical race theory, which means, of course, that he rejects it utterly. He's written many books. Why don't we just get him on here? James Lindsay, welcome to the program. Hey, Eric. Great to see you. You don't sound too enthusiastic. You don't want to oversell. Now, listen. Yeah, it's morning. Listen, you. I know it's early where you are, but honestly, you are tough to sum up. For my audience that is not familiar with you, I know you through turning point events and other things and here and there, but how would you help somebody understand how you got to be doing what you're doing now, and you're an expert on critical race theory, and how did this start for you? Where did you grow up? Can we start there? Yeah, we can go all the way back. Actually, my family is from two different parts of New York State, but nowhere near the city, so I have roots, New York but we moved down to East Tennessee very early on in my life when I was five. I grew up primarily in East Tennessee, so I'm an Appalachian culturally, but with this parentage that made fun of Appalachian culture that didn't quite let it take full root. Difficult to sum up even from childhood, I suppose, but I grew up in East Tennessee. You're not part of a jug band, is that what you're trying to tell me? No, I'm not. I did learn at one point when I was a teenager to play the spoons, but that's been a while.

Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from Guest Host Kevin McCullough Tackles The Return Of Covid Mandates
"The Mike Gallagher Show. For decades in this country, people have beaten a path to California. It's a beautiful state. And yet they never lost population until their current governor took office. Now they're hemorrhaging wealth. Now they're hemorrhaging population because you see things like what I saw the other day in San Francisco. I saw people defecating on the sidewalk. In the ReliefFactor .com studios, here's Mike. Some words I would rather not hear in the middle of my morning, but Governor Ron DeSantis is right, and that's part of the problem. We'll continue to take your calls about the evil that's being done and how they're not being quiet about it anymore, but willing to stick it in your face. We'll talk some more about that. But I want you to know that today is the last day that the Mike Gallagher Show audience has to assist the very vital work of food for the poor, especially in this hurricane season and it's just getting started. There's going to be a lot of storms through the fall, and what we are dealing with is the need to be ready to help those with emergency items, specifically food, as those difficulties come. Joining us here at the Mike Gallagher Show is Paul Jacobs of Food for the Poor, and Paul, a longtime friend of Kevin McCullough as well. It's good to hear you and see you this morning. Paul, there's been some major hurricane action that our media here in the States hasn't even really picked up. Well, since the very first day of this campaign with Mike Gallagher, we've been sharing a very important principle, and that is we must pre -position aid emergency relief supplies under blue skies. For three weeks in the month of August, we saw nothing in the Atlantic, nothing in the Gulf, and then here we are on really the final days that we're together with you listening, sharing this need, and there are storms on both, as we've seen, in the West Coast of the United States as well as two very powerful storms, Franklin that just pummeled the Dominican Republic and now Edalia that is going to crush the West Coast of Florida, possibly into the Panhandle and states in the Southeast. We really need everyone that's listening right now to understand that if you have listened and you've heard the passionate pleas of Mike Gallagher about these needs of these families, whether it's disaster relief kits or it's a gift of $500 to provide a generator, you are needed right now. There are two, no, sorry, three months left in this hurricane season, and there is more going on, and Kevin, you and I have traveled to Haiti. We've seen the effects of these hurricanes on developing nations, and so we know all too well the aftermath and how the victims like children are affected when the needs and the supplies are not made available. Yeah, I want to emphasize what you said there about developing nations. In highly developed nations, we have trouble with hurricanes in Florida and elsewhere and sometimes are caught a little off guard. Imagine being a country that has one -third or one -fourth or one -tenth the GDP of the United States and trying to survive under these circumstances. It is really, really a tough struggle, and I love the term pre -positioning because that's exactly what it takes, Paul, in order to save these people. There's not, the decisions have to be made in the splits of seconds in order to be able to save lives, and if food for the poor has put the supplies where needed, then those decisions are much easier to make. Last week we just celebrated, we just remembered the 31st anniversary of Hurricane Andrew devastating my home here in South Florida, and I remember all too well what that was like, but the thing that stuck out the most for us and why pre -positioning is so vitally important is that the when hurricanes strike, when the storms hit, when natural disasters occur, the supply chain lines are cut off. And not only that, but it's harder to get to these affected areas, our partnerships at Food for the Poor in these various countries. So when you give right now, just think, your gift is making a difference in delivering aid on day one versus having to wait through the disaster and get the supplies there on day 30. And you can imagine the vulnerable, the vulnerable populations that are waiting for that aid, waiting and praying to God, asking when will something come and having to wait 30 days. But right now, while things are favorable, while the cost of items are less because they haven't been driven up as a result of these supply chain disruptions, as well as a lot of the prices going up in the midst of these natural disasters, you can be a difference maker right now and help a family. You may not meet this side of heaven, but they will feel your compassion like never before. There is such a huge need for particularly the children in such circumstances. Here's the phone number, friends. It's 844 -860 -4673, 844 -860 -4673. And the much easier way to do it is just to text the word Mike to 911999, 911999, text the word Mike, and you can give your gift there. You can also go to MikeOnline .com, and you'll just click the red banner at the top of the page, Emergency Supplies. It's pretty easy to find on the website there. 844 -860 -4673, 844 -860 -4673, or text the range of need. There's lots of things that the people in the affected countries that food for the poor work in need on an ongoing basis. There's regular need for shelter and for clean water and so forth, but food and clean water specifically in the hurricane season are even more important. You mentioned the generator. You mentioned the ways people can get involved, but the real lifeline for these people is sometimes having a bowl of food that they wouldn't be able to have otherwise. Think of it. The most, the essence of life, the basics of life is food and water. And when you talk about a disaster that is just, that blows through a community that cuts off not only the power to a lot of homes where they cannot keep food fresh and they cannot keep the food items safely stored, then they need to have food on a regular basis provided to them. Stores are shut down, access to stores, and even these island nations and many of these countries where they depend on exports coming in, food coming being shipped in. Well, when they're not getting there on time, because as you see in the video that we're showing you for those that are watching on the live stream, you're seeing that the the streets and roads are cut off. There's no access to these communities outside of what is already there in the community. Families, children that need to eat every single day. Many of these children in countries like Haiti and like Guatemala, their only meal comes when they, their nutritious meal that is, comes when they go to school. Schools are closed down until the foreseeable future. And so your help right now, a gift of a hundred dollars, pre -positions a disaster food kit in these countries so that children and families can eat tomorrow and the day after until things get normalized and they can get back on their feet. You will effectively help these families survive another day. And survive is no overstatement. It is really truly what they are they're praying for. And friends, as we can sit and have discussion on the Mike Gallagher show about all of the things that are going wrong in the world and certainly the things that we need to be fighting for, the innocence and the protection of these children are something that if we are truly pro -life people, we believe in. If we believe that abortion is bad, then we have to believe that starvation of children is also bad because God is not not respecting one form of death over the other. He wants us to be caring about our brothers and sisters. And I will tell you, as Paul made mention, I've traveled extensively with Food for the Poor in Haiti and in Jamaica and in another couple of places where they have been doing their work. I've seen the houses they've built. I've seen the water filtration systems where they did not have any clean water to drink and all of the diseases that come with polluted water. And then within the installation of a water filtration system just a year later, thriving, beautiful, joyous community with clean water every day. But food, water, the basics, that's what you're helping with with these emergency supplies. And as we made mention, we're just getting started in the hurricane season. This is the beginning of the rocky road, and we've already had some activity in the Caribbean just even over this last weekend. So please pick up the phone. Call 844 -860 -4673, 844 -860 -4673, or text the word Mike, M -I -K -E, for Mr. Gallagher, Mike Gallagher, Mike, M -I -K -E, to 911999. Paul, just spend a minute with me on the importance of the fact that Food for the Poor is a Christ -centered organization and seeks to do Jesus's work amongst the people that they work with. For more than 41 years and into our 42nd year, Food for the Poor has been working hand in hand with the local church. We've named a number of countries that Food for the Poor works in Latin America and the Caribbean. And as I stand here in our headquarter office in Coconut Creek, Florida, I tell you this, there is no way that 350 employees working in this vast big building could reach all of those communities and all of those areas of the world in this region where we work for these many four decades if it wasn't for the local church. Pastors on the ground, their compassion because they live in the communities where they're helping these families. Pastors and ministry partners that are committed, they don't just help these families, they stay and work alongside them to build these families back onto their feet. In fact, one of my favorite scriptures, and I've seen it live and in full effect, is Galatians 2 -10. It was a letter that Paul wrote to the Galatian church about the help and the need of families. It says, all that they asked was that we remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do all along. That is the passion by which you are fueling right now with your generous gift in these countries where Food for the Poor works. So please understand, yes, you're helping feed a child. Yes, you're helping deliver disaster relief items, but you're resourcing the local church to do what they do best, and that is help the physical body, but as well as the spirit. As a Bible -believing Christian, I don't believe that there are accidents. And friends, if you're listening today or you're watching us on the Salem News Channel, and a thought crosses your mind that you had not heard about this before, that's no accident. I fully believe that God intended for the people that needed to hear this to be here right now. And the truth is, there will be children who will not make it through this next hurricane season without these emergency supplies being pre -positioned in the areas where they will be needed. And friend, if you have the ability to do something, that's not by accident either. God is obviously trying to touch your heart and say, hey, get involved, do my work, help me be the satisfaction for these children, the supplier of their needs, if you will. 844 -860 -4673, 844 -860 -4673. But imagine, even in your own family, if it was you, if it was your child, and you knew that they were going to run the risk of starving this hurricane season, to what length would you go to express to the people that are listening right now, would you help us, can you help us, please help us? Those are the cries coming from the families, the children, and the people in Latin America and the Caribbean, where Food for the Poor is at work. Again, the number is 844 -860 -4673, 844 -860 -4673. You can also just text the word Mike, M -I -K -E, to 911999, 911999, text the word Mike, and you can get there. And if you want to go to MikeOnline .com, you can do that as well. The banner is at the top of the page. It's a big red one that says emergency supplies needed, and asking you to help out today. Paul Jacobs of Food for the Poor, thank you for what you're doing. Thank you for trying to inspire us to be involved. For what it's worth to the people of, listen, my family, the McCulloughs, we've given to Food for the Poor for almost two decades now. We love this organization, and we love what they're doing, and I've seen it with my own eyes do the good that Mike has been telling you about for these last many weeks. We're coming right back on The Mike Gallagher Show. Lots of news still to get to this morning, and lots more of your phone calls when we return. Stay here. Something has gone terribly wrong with the world economy. Before you lose faith, be sure to read the book, Life After Capitalism, now on sale from Regnery Publishing.

The Jacksonville County Sheriff says the guns used in yesterday's deadly shooting were all legally purchased. At a news conference today, Sheriff T .K. Waters identified the 21 -year -old white gunman as an individual with no criminal record. The shooter took his own life minutes after carrying out the racially motivated attack that killed three black people at a Dollar General store in a predominantly black community of Jacksonville. President Biden condemned the attack today as a potential hate crime and the FBI is investigating. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says he has spoken with the president of a historically black university that was apparently targeted by the gunman. DeSantis says he's spoken to Edward Waters University's Zachary Fison and that the state will assist as it did with Jewish facilities over anti -Semitic threats. The governor says he will not allow Florida's HBCUs to become targets for hateful lunatics. A second victim has died following a mass shooting in downtown Louisville early this morning. Four other people were shot and remain hospitalized. Paul Miles has the latest. The shooting happened around 3 o 'clock Sunday morning outside the Southern Restaurant and Lounge at 3rd and Market Streets. Mayor Craig Greenberg says the city began investigating the bar earlier this summer and it was cited for violations.
Thinking Crypto News & Interviews
A highlight from FIRST CRYPTO FRIENDLY REPUBLICAN DEBATE! BINANCE US FIAT ON RAMP, STELLAR LUMENS XLM, & COREUM
"Welcome back to the Thinking Crypto Podcast, your home for cryptocurrency news and interviews. If you are new here, please hit that subscribe button as well as the thumbs up button and leave a comment below. If you're listening on a podcast platform such as Spotify, Apple or Google, please leave a five star rating and review. It supports the podcast and it doesn't cost you anything. Well, folks, I want to give you an update on the Grayscale versus SEC lawsuit. There was supposed to be a decision today, but unfortunately there was no decision. This is according to the Grayscale chief legal officer. Everyone is waiting in anticipation. What is the ruling on this? We're hoping Grayscale mops the floor with Gary Gensler and the SEC and gives the SEC another major loss. We're also hoping that Coinbase, they can get their lawsuit dismissed or at least beat the SEC in court as well. We've seen the court has been the balance of power where the SEC corruption and nonsense and illegal activity or unlawful activity has been getting exposed. Judge Sarah Netburn in the Ripple lawsuit said the SEC lacked faithful allegiance to the law and how many CEOs and folks in the industry have said the SEC is acting shady. They asked you to come in and it seems like they're doing and working with you in good faith, but they're looking to stab you in the back. So I'm hoping Grayscale wins this. I'm not the biggest Grayscale fan, but with regards to this situation, they filed for a Bitcoin spot ETF in addition to about 20 other people. And they've been trying to get an ETF for a very long time, but the SEC has denied these ETFs. And I think that's because they want their wall street buddies like BlackRock, specifically Gary Gensler's buddies like BlackRock and all these folks to come in and take over the market, to have them have the ETFs. How dare these crypto startups try to supplant these tradfi incumbents, right folks? That's the game that's been going on and we need the SEC and Gary Gensler to take more losses. I'm not saying the SEC doesn't have a job to do. Of course they do, but they have fallen far from that core mission to protect investors, to look out for bad actors. Instead, they're going after good actors in a very politically themed move, right? We see Gary Gensler, he has made the SEC very much about politics. We know he's Democrat appointed and it's unbelievable that he's doing that. He's not doing his job and he should be fired and kicked out. So this is why we need Grayscale to get a victory, we need Coinbase to get a victory. And obviously we had a big victory with the Ripple lawsuit where XRP was declared intrinsically not a security and secondary market sales, not securities offerings. That was a huge win, not just for XRP, but for the entire crypto market. So let's see if we hear anything by Friday or next week, but I'm hoping this comes soon folks, because Congress is going to be back in a couple of weeks where they're going to reconvene and try to push them crypto regulation bills through. And if the SEC is taking more losses, they're going to want to take action. So I think you need that catalyst. It seems that's the catalyst, because we started seeing a ramp up in efforts from Congress as soon as Ripple's ruling came through and it was positive for XRP and Ripple. The SEC took a big loss there. Trust me when I tell you, even though it was like a split decision for the most part, Ripple took the biggest share of the pie from a victory standpoint. So let's see what happens folks. Now everyone I think pretty much knows tomorrow is the first Republican presidential debate to feature pro -crypto candidates. You have Florida governor Ron DeSantis and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, who are both pro -crypto. They've specifically Ron DeSantis has talked about CBDCs and the need for regulations. So I'm not here to endorse either of these candidates. I'm just stating the facts. We are entering a new era where crypto adoption is growing and even our political candidates and politicians can't ignore crypto anymore. And on the Democrat side, you have RFK Jr. who's very much into Bitcoin and also it's calling for crypto regulations. So this is very bullish folks. And this is why I'm sharing with you that you are aware that crypto is seeping into the mainstream, into politics, into pop culture, right? It is a growing asset class in technology and folks, this is part of the adoption. People understanding what's happening here, talking about it in different circles and different walks of life. And if you understand adoption of technology and new things, you go back and you look at the internet, this is part of it, right? In order for more people to come in and to adopt the technology, invest in it and do much more, they need to start hearing about it and seeing it, right? There's marketing principles here that many times people need to see things two to three times or hear about it two to three times before they're interested or they make a decision to purchase and so forth. So don't take this news lightly. It is certainly very important. So candidates for the Republican nomination for the 2024 United States presidential election who have publicly expressed their support or disdain for certain crypto related policies will be meeting for a debate for the first time. The August 23rd event will be the first time many of the Republican candidates will be in the same room amid a political campaign that has seen them targeting their rivals, though it's unclear if cryptocurrencies and blockchain will be mentioned at the debate. Some of the candidates have explicitly mentioned plans to include the technology and policies should they win the party nomination on and the presidential election. Florida governor Ron DeSantis is trailing by double digits to Trump, according to several polls will be leading. It will be the leading candidate among the eight contenders in July. The Florida governor promised to ban central bank digital currencies in the US should he be elected president, citing concerns about giving the government authority over consumer payments. He previously signed a bill aimed at largely prohibiting the use of a federally issued digital dollar in Florida. Rama Swamy, who at 38 years old is the youngest candidate in the running, has advocated for the 2024 election to be a referendum on fiat currency. He spoke at the Bitcoin 2023 conference in Miami to announce his campaign would be accepting Bitcoin donations later receiving praise from ex CEO Elon Musk as a promising candidate. Now Miami mayor Francis Suarez, and many of you may recall my interview with him back in 2020, who gained popularity in a space for promoting pro -crypto policies in the city entered the presidential race in June. During this time as mayor, he announced he would accept certain paychecks in Bitcoin and was involved in the Miami coin token project for Miami residents. Suarez said in a now deleted post on X, formerly Twitter, on August 18 he had qualified to appear at the Republican debate. However, this claim was contradicted by GOP officials on August 21st following an announcement regarding the debate participation list, which included eight names with Suarez not among them. So Suarez didn't make it. We know he's super pro -crypto. I had interviewed him and they were looking to potentially put Bitcoin on a balance sheet in Miami as well. So folks, once again, this is not to endorse any specific candidate or party, but rather just step back, put aside politics for a second and just look at what's happening in the landscape of adoption of crypto. And part of it, like I said, is the recognition in mainstream and politics and much more. And you know, the folks who are running for president, who are going to take policies or help create policies around crypto and turn it into law. So this is significant. And I'm so bullish when I see things like this. Once again, I got in in 2016 and I couldn't imagine this happening. You have pro -crypto candidates and we'll see if it becomes a topic. It will be very interesting if it comes up, folks, giving crypto prime time coverage in the mainstream media. Now let's move ahead. Really interesting news around Binance US. So Binance US renews banking push with MoonPay deal. Binance US is pushing into fiat support again via a MoonPay partnership. Now, many of you may recall they turned off fiat on and off services with Binance US, you know, getting sued, of course. But it looks like they're like, OK, whatever the dust is settled, we're going to try to get fiat on and off RAMs again. So Binance US has been working on integrating new US dollar on RAM solutions, such as partnering with third party payment provider MoonPay. The company told customers in an email on Monday, which was reviewed by BlockWorks. It wasn't immediately clear what crypto currencies would be supported for buying and selling in dollars via the MoonPay partnership. One indicator pointed to Tether's USDT as being the sole supported asset at launch. Representatives for Binance US and MoonPay did not immediately return a request for comment. MoonPay supports debit and credit cards, as well as ACH transfers. The exchange before the US SEC's lawsuit earlier this year previously supported buying most crypto assets via dollar deposits and in turn selling those currency, crypto currencies in a dollar conversion, which would then be withdrawn by customers of Binance's platform. An update listed for Binance US's app on the App Store or Apple App Store at the end of last week said users could now buy and sell USDT with USD in app via MoonPay. So folks will see, you know, I'm still hesitant here with Binance US, not because I don't trust CZ or whatever, but rather I think Binance is in the targets of a lot of regulators. You know, there is a macro political play here that, you know, Binance is often associated with China as a Chinese company. So from the folks I've been talking about who do a lot of advocacy and lobbying in DC, they said a lot of people don't like Binance. So I wouldn't be surprised if the regulators come down really hard on Binance US. I don't think they can really do anything to hurt Binance .com, but Binance US being a US company, it's an easy target, right? So I would probably avoid Binance US. I was using Binance US before, I'm not using them right now. Once again, it's not because I hate Binance or I have a problem with CZ or something like that, but rather something is cooking up here with the regulators. Now, a great exchange that I do use and I trust and I've been using them since 2018 is Uphold and they're a sponsor of the podcast. And once again, I'm a user of the platform, so I'm not promoting something I don't use. I've been using it for years. That's why I selected them as a sponsor. They have 10 plus million users, 250 plus cryptocurrencies, and they're available in 150 countries. I recently interviewed the CEO of Uphold and they offer precious metals as well and equities so you can trade both. And yeah, if you'd like to learn more about Uphold, please visit the link in the description. All right, let's move ahead. Chinese government officials sentenced to life in prison for operating Bitcoin mining enterprise. Now, the headline here is a bit misleading because it wasn't just that that he went to jail for, but he was doing a whole bunch of other things. So, you know, it's not just crypto, but just corruption in general. So a court in China has handed a life sentence. Wow. Life sentence to Yi Zhao, a former member of the Chinese Communist Party for corruption charges, including facilitating crypto mining operation. Zhao was vice president of the Xianzi provincial committee of the People's Political Consultive Conference. Wow. Try to say that five times fast. The court also found Zhao guilty of power abuse. He has been convicted of accepting more than 125 million yuan, which is about 17 .1 million dollars in bribes between 2008 and 2021. So this guy had a lot of stuff going on, but he was trying to help. He helped companies that were engaging in crypto mining. And this was during the period where China had banned crypto. We know they unbanned it, of course. So and they're doing obviously China did a 180 on crypto. Hong Kong is all in. China's trying to create a Silicon Valley for crypto. I think in Shanghai, if I'm not mistaken, they had released a, you know, Web3 white paper all about this. But interesting news here. And we got some more news of someone else going to jail. So former OpenSea, which is the NFT marketplace manager, Nate Chastain, has been sentenced to three months in prison and a 50K fine for charges related to NFT insider trading. So it looks like he was doing some some sort of insider trading. But, you know, obviously this is not anything crazy. Three months in prison, a 50K. I think he got off easy there. You know, I don't have all the details into how much money and all that, but just said FYI, he's the former OpenSea manager. Now, we got some interesting news around Stellar Lumens, the Stellar blockchain. And recently I interviewed Tomer Weller, who is a VP of product at Stellar. If you haven't seen that interview, be sure to check it out, folks. It's a good one. And Stellar is looking to launch smart contract technology on a blockchain. So Stellar joins Bytecode Alliance to help develop EVM alternative WASM. Stellar joined the industry group developing WASM, an alternative computation engine for running smart contracts. WASM is a competitor to the Ethereum virtual machine, also known as EVM, used by the Ethereum ecosystem. It is also used in non -blockchain browser -based applications. EVM is a virtual machine or computation engine used to execute smart contracts. It is used by most blockchain networks, including Ethereum, BNB, Smart Chain, Avalanche, and many others. But a few networks use WASM instead, including Polkadot, Multiverse X, formerly Elron, and Internet Computer. Stellar began as a payments network in 2014, but in 2022, it implemented smart contracts to provide more functionality to the network. In April 2022, Stellar developers chose WASM as their computation engine. They argued that despite the popularity of EVM, it's stored and execution models are expensive and challenging to paralyze, which gets in the way of scalability, making transactions more expensive. I love this, folks. I think more competition in the market is healthy, that is beneficial to innovators, builders, investors, and much more. We need a lot of competitors, and we need not just Ethereum having the monopoly on smart contract tech and EVM and so forth. So this is really great. I like that they're doing this. Stellar also argued that WASM was perfect for extremely adversarial environments like as it was originally developed for browser applications. This was another reason the team chose WASM over EVM. So interesting news here from Stellar. I do hold some Stellar Lumens, XLM, in my portfolio. Not a lot, but I do have it in there because we've often seen that XLM moves with XRP when there's price movements. But I'm still on the fence a little bit about XLM. Once again, I have some of my portfolio. I'm diversified, but I'm not actively accumulating it to be fully transparent. Now let's move ahead. Comanu becomes latest crypto firm to gain full license in Dubai. The crypto custodian is set to offer institutional staking and collateral management in the region via its Comanu Connect platform. Smart move on their part. They serve institutional investors, and they're going to an area where there's a lot of institutional investors, a lot of wealth, a lot of sovereign wealth funds. So we are seeing, folks, across the globe, the setting up of the infrastructure, on and off -ramps, custodians, and much more. And a lot of it's catered to not just retail, but just institutional investors, to a lot of family offices, investment firms, hedge funds, and much more. So very, very bullish news. The crypto custodian is among the first to receive a full virtual asset price provider, VASP in short, in a region that various companies in the segment have sought to set up outposts. Crypto firms interest in Dubai accelerated after the Emirates established Vara in March 2022. Vara has created a robust regulatory framework, allowing firms like ourselves to innovate whilst operating safely and exploring the future potential of digital assets, which includes tokenization and DeFi services. Khomeini's strategy lead, Sebastian Wittenman, told Blockworks in an email. Folks, do you see what's happening, right? Building and expansion merges acquisitions. This is what you want to see in this growing asset class, that this is continuing. People are bullish. They're expanding services globally. And this, despite the headwinds we're facing here in the United States with scumbag regulator Gary Gensler, and the lack of crypto regulations, the rest of the world is moving ahead. And when you have a huge market, once again, a lot of wealthy folks, we know Dubai is, I mean, come on, the wealth, the building, the expansion that's been happening there is incredible. There's a lot of capital there. So building this on and off rams for institutional players, that's very bullish for the future adoption of crypto and the prices, of course. Now, finally, I want to give some update around Quorium, which is, of course, a partner of the channel. And here it looks like BitPanda, the crypto exchange is going to be listing Quorium. They said, yes, Quorium, our newest BitPanda spotlight countdown is live. Subscribe to get some free Quorium so you can subscribe and get some free Quorium guys. The listing date will be August 28th. They said here, Quorium is a third generation layer one enterprise blockchain built to serve as the core infrastructure of future blockchain applications made to be an interoperable modular and fast ecosystem that lets businesses of any size launch DeFi applications and protocols in the metaverse gaming and banking remittances area. So they said here, please note that the ticker for Quorium on BitPanda will be Quorium as core corresponds already to core DAO. Are you best VIP already? If you are, you will receive some giveaway tokens. So, folks, go check it out. You can probably get some free tokens there. But, you know, if you want to check out Quorium on your own, you can visit their Twitter profile and also check out their website. But that's the news, folks. Thank you for watching, listening.

"But yeah, the main thing that really opened up opened up my eyes to how bad the fies system was was watching the big short and watching all the stuff that went down with that. And then, you know, just shout out to the bitcoiners on Twitter man, the hardcore bitcoiners a toxic bitcoiners. The ones that don't bullshit, shout out to them because they taught me so much and they put it, they gave me the hard truth. I was reading stuff that I've never read before. They dropped the best health tips, man. Tell me something that you read. What was one of the things that you read? That you liked. So as far as like tweets go, 'cause dude, just anything. Who was the most influential for me? I'll give you an example. To give you a little bit of context. So for me, the most influential bitcoiners from a content creation standpoint and just an orange as well. Max keiser played a huge role. And also from an educational standpoint, Andreas antonopoulos, right? So those are my two. So what bitcoiners for you were the most influential in your journey? Because you came, first of all, you came at this incredibly young, right? So you came at this from a very young age, number one. And number two, there were different times. At that time, it was 2016, 2017. There was the Bitcoin content that we have on YouTube now. That didn't exist back then. So who played a big role in your orange pilling journey? Yeah, so, you know, the ones that really got me just super bullish and got me down the rabbit hole was just like the over the top price prediction. So Michael saylor is the max Kaiser's, those really got me down the rabbit hole, but I got so lucky on my YouTube algorithm that because when I first started getting into Bitcoin, I was like, you type in Bitcoin on YouTube and try to learn about it. And it's just going to be like some tech channel telling you about what it is and just like a ten minute summary or you're going to get like the crazy the crypto guys like the BitBoy cryptos that are telling you oh by this point by this point by this coin and so it's really hard to weed out the Bitcoin channels, but my algorithm was set to basically these guys that did like highlight videos of max Kaiser Michael saylor. There was a few others, man. Well, actually, Anthony papal did help me a little bit too.

"And my brain completely flipped, I'm like, when I was a kid, I'm like, I'm never going to be rich. I'm too dumb to be rich, but then you're like, oh, it's possible for me to be rich, you know? Like 7% a year, 8% of your adversity, or compound interest. And so it got me really down the rabbit hole. And as soon as I turned 18, I started investing in stocks. I was a big, oh, Roth IRA, S&P 500. That's what I'm gonna be investing through. That's how I'm gonna retire. And then I was introduced to Bitcoin in a few different ways. One was this kid that I used to play video games with. During that 2020, so I got into Bitcoin right after I turned 18, so did December 2020 when that run up to the first run up to 30,000. And this guy I was playing League of Legends with is like, yeah, dude, I just made like $500,000 in the past month and I'm like, what? Bro, you're like 27. He's like, oh yeah, I've had Bitcoin since like a RuneScape or whatever it was. And then my friend's dad was telling me about it.

And I threw a hundred bucks in and three days later, it's at like a 116, and I'm like, I'm up 16% already like, what is this? My stocks are down. And that really sent me into the rabbit hole. I started learning more and the thing that really got me to be Bitcoin only and fully down the rabbit hole is I watched the movie the big short. And I was like, I was always told from the videos that I was watching that, oh, the financial system, it's all right. It's okay. It works, whatever. Then I watched the big, I watched the big short, and I'm like, I almost had a panic attack after I'm like, this is the craziest thing ever, like, what's my answer? Because I don't think S&P 500 stock is gonna be my answer to get rich. I don't think it's gonna be real estate. Like, this movie's crazy. Tommy so much. And that really, really, really sent me down the rabbit hole. And I just started watching tons of tons of Bitcoin podcast. And, you know, the funny thing is, is that my Friends will always joke about me. Like I had this crazy arc in my life where I was just full on grind mode. I didn't spend money on anything and I was just door dashing. So I was driving up an old beat up Toyota minivan. And I was DoorDash in 8 hours a day, 9 hours a day. You know, make a decent money for 18, it's better than you're making 20 bucks an hour, 20, 25 bucks an hour, you could do it all day around on your own schedule.

Not only my peers, but young people out there to start stacking sets, almost got really passionate on that one. And Joseph hit me up in the DMs the other day and he's like, yo, I want to come on and spread the Bitcoin signal to the zoomers out there. So as a Bitcoin zoomer, what's Bitcoin mean to you? And then we'll go into a little more conversations a couple more rabbit holes. So how come you're so passionate about Bitcoin? And then the second question is, how are your peers thinking of Bitcoin? Yeah, so I'm a little bit more bullish than other people and I understand a lot more than other people my age, but it seems like from what I can tell that zoomers, I'm bullish that zoomers will adopt Bitcoin for a few reasons. It's like, so everything's going digital, your relationships are digital, social media, you know, your business is online. You've got to tell some people running drop shipping businesses. Your school's online. So we're very familiar with just the online culture. And the one bad thing is that it seems like most people that they can't separate Bitcoin and crypto, they're kind of just pooling, it just crypto, like, oh, I'm bullish on the future of crypto. I think crypto is going to be the next world reserve currency, not really understanding it that much. But I think over time, the fomo will kick in and eventually zoomers will start adopting Bitcoin a lot more. And especially when it's funny because the boomers are 70, 80, 90 year olds that have all the money, you know, they're not going to be the ones buying Bitcoin because they're not going to understand it. Like with our culture, you know, Bitcoin's in everything. You got a bunch of degenerate kids online gambling and the only way you can online gambles with Bitcoin, you have rappers talking about Bitcoin. You have NFL players taking their salary in Bitcoin. I mean, look at the UFC, like crypto dot com is the main sponsor. Yeah, I know it's not Bitcoin, but you know, it leaves you into the right direction.

As a zoomer, does this make your blood boil, bro? What's going on in your head? Yeah, I just think it's a great thing about the U.S. that we could help stop the tyrannical federal government. And it's good that the states have power and they could stop these crazy laws from getting passed. And that's how we win as bitcoiners as we just start from the ground up.

Again, I stay optimistic and I always try to see the silver lining, but it does really feel like we are seeing a political tide change in our favor. We are starting to see Nico continuously tells us that states are rolling out this idea that like, wait, maybe we shouldn't try to ban Bitcoin because that's probably gonna hurt our citizens more than if we try to stop this innovation that is Bitcoin. So while it is coming from the top that they're doing whatever they can, we have operation choke .2. They're doing whatever kind of crazy shady stuff they can to stop Bitcoin on a state level. It's becoming very clear that individuals want to hold Bitcoin that we are in the race to avoid the war and we might be becoming that I always say intolerant minority, but Jacob's going to have a correct me. That's not the right word. Very vocal minority out there that are just like, look, I want to hold Bitcoin. You can't tell me what to do. Freedom of speech, freedom of association, you know, Bitcoin is speech and who are you to tell me what I can and can't do. But it goes deeper than that bro it goes deeper than go on. Why is the government dictating what money people should use and what money people can't use. That's the big question. Why am I being forced to use the money that steals from me? Why? And let's talk about the consequences of that. That's why we played you the clip of Jack mahler's, also known as Jack ballers in the very beginning of the video.

And those are all questions that we got to ask. Clearly, this was a strategic move. Clearly, they tried to pass this. Anyways, interesting. It goes on to say, the bill doesn't specifically name CBDCs, but describes money as something that may be established by an intergovernmental organization, right? So why does money have to be issued by government? That's a very, that's also a very important point. So going back to the Florida news, right? This is a decrypt article. It says Florida governor Ron DeSantis proposed legislation on Monday that would ban CBDCs from the sunshine state. The legislation would prohibit in Florida, any CBDC that the U.S. Federal Reserve could introduce and any created by foreign government. Desantis, desantis introduced the legislation from behind the podium with the phrase big brothers digital dollar plastered across it. He screwed he skewered the technology as a vehicle that could lead to government overreach and pave the way for financial innovative financial surveillance. And here is some old news this article originally came out May 12, 2022, and it said the measure would take effect January 1st, 2023. It says, governor desantis signed legislation Thursday defining the term virtual currency to clarify state law on cryptocurrency in E state financial regulations. The measure defines virtual currency as a medium of exchange and electronic or digital form which is not a currency. Upon taking effect January 1st 2023, it will upend a 2019 court ruling preventing people who own Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies from selling them without a license. So this is crazy. This is the separation of money and state year witnessing it. This is the battle lines. Clearly they had a strategy with this UCC uniform commercial code, now that we're aware of it, we will keep an eye on it for sure, but make no mistake. This is happening.

"Org. I love this organization. I'm a donor to it. Check it out. Pre born dot org. So governor, your blueprint in Florida has amazing success and you contrast that with what governor Newsom has and has not done in California. It's not because of the weather, that's what they always blame. They say, oh, you know, people are moving to the sun belt only because of the weather. No, they're leaving California to other states. Can you just compare and contrast over four years, Newsom versus desantis, Florida versus California, and if you had a direct message to Gavin Newsom, what would that be? Well, it's interesting. So California for the entire history of the state, up until four years ago, had always gained population. It was viewed when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s. It was viewed as the place people went to experience the American Dream, and that what you've had in the last four years is you've had a massive hemorrhaging of people. They have net population loss in the hundreds and hundreds of thousands. Meanwhile, Florida is gaining the most net population and where the fastest growing state. And here's the thing that I think is interesting. When I was growing up in Florida, I never saw California license plate. I never because people were never leave California. I mean, it just wasn't something you do. We started to see it when I became governor, particularly in response to the California Newsom COVID policies. You start seeing California licensing support. I can tell you a lot of Florida voters freaked out because they're thinking about, oh my gosh, what are these Californians going to do in terms of their voting? Well, it turned out a lot of them were people that think more like us who just had enough. And yes, part of it was the lockdowns where he's locking down his people, his businesses, then he's going and eating without a mask at the French laundry and a lot of people got upset about that. But it's also the crime they let people out of prison, you have district attorneys elected with support from people like George Soros, who say they're just not going to prosecute criminals. If you're walking in LA and you get mugged, the chance that they hold that person accountable is very, very low. They just release them, and then he can do it all over again. And then, of course, you've had economic policies to where they have like a 25 or $30 billion deficit right now. Florida, we have a record 20 plus $1 billion surplus. And so the results speak for themselves. People vote with their feed. And it's interesting, you know, we get a lot of comparisons with New York because New York and us are relatively close and population. We've got a few million more people now than they do. But even with a few million more people, Charlie, New York State's budget is twice the size of the budget of the state of Florida. And yet our services are better, our roads are better. We have higher performing K through 12, higher performing public higher education and no state income tax. So where is all this money going that they're spending and how come it's not helping the quality of life for the people that live in New York State? And some of the numbers here, Florida population 22 million New York 19.4, Florida's budget is a 110 Florida's a 110 billion New York is 221 billion. Florida's education budget is 24 billion New York education budget 39 billion and their schools are crummy and garbage compared to Florida. Florida's welfare budget is 29 billion New York's welfare budget 79 billion..

"I just want to narrow in on that. You've been one of the few courageous leaders on a state level to actually understand how big corporations and government get in bed together. This is something that is a new development in the conservative movement, because typically especially yes, sometimes in Florida kind of representing, you know, the big Chamber of Commerce. You don't care about that. You represent your voters, just tell us a little bit about the Disney thing. What you learned in that entire chapter and how that could be applied to conservatism more broadly across the country. Well, I think Florida, when I became governor, was really driven by the chamber's agenda. And you know, some of this stuff was positive. Better legal climate, what have you. But I think I've really changed that to where, yes, just because you're a corporation and you're quote private, you know, if you're going to try to be exercising public power, we're going to take that very seriously and we're going to fight back, particularly when it's injurious to education in our children. And so the Disney thing was a situation where, yes, they were getting involved in trying to tank a bill that was very important to a lot of parents. Yes, they were advocating things and Burbank about their programming and sexualizing their programming, which as a parent I found very, very problematic, but they're doing that while getting subsidies from the state of Florida. They had their own government given to them in the 1960s. And so they were exempt from laws, had big tax breaks, were able to do all kinds of things that no other individual or company can do in Florida. So we had to make the decision, okay, how can they do that and have all that and then turn around and use the subsidies to advocate against us. So we nixed that. They no longer have self governing status and there's a new sheriff in town in the state of Florida. God bless you for that. Everybody check out governor desantis new book.

Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here, run roe versus wade fell as the law of the land last year, all it did was increase what pro abortion states are doing to entice and mislead women to abort their children. States are now advertising to travel just to get an abortion. It's become abortion trafficking. So the need to provide the truth is girls and women are contemplating what to do about their pregnancy is greater now than ever before. Ultrasounds say babies because ultrasounds give the truth at a time. Everyone else is saying it's not just a baby, it's just a clump of cells. When you introduce a girl to her baby by providing an ultrasound, you are giving her the truth at the most important time of her life, and more than 85% of the time, that she will choose life. You don't have to make a lot of noise to make a big difference for life.

Election results are rolling in this morning as Democrats try to maintain control of Congress, but with razor thin margins in some races, it could be days or even weeks before the full results, Bree Jackson is in Washington with the latest. Control of the House and Senate remains up in the air this morning as both parties pick up crucial winds, although it was not the red wave that some predicted this midterm. In Pennsylvania, voters elected Democrat John fetterman to fill the seat of a retiring Republican, Virginia's Abigail spanberger retained her seat in a race widely considered a litmus test for how Democrats would fare in swing districts. However, with votes still being counted, Republicans believe they'll secure enough seats to flip control of the House. Some races are still too close to call as the battle for Georgia's U.S. Senate seat remains in the balance along with Arizona, Nevada, and Wisconsin. This has been a special report. Decision 2022, I'm Michael Cassidy. Market analysis that goes beyond the ordinary. Again, I learned another function from Matt Miller today. Bloomberg markets with polls weenie and Matt Miller. Why is this stock so unloved? Big day's at 10 a.m. eastern on Bloomberg radio. I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race in this first term. And I have kept the faith. We've accomplished more than anybody thought possible four years ago, but we've got so much more to do and I have only begun to fight. You heard the chance in Florida for governor Ron DeSantis, the Republican two more years, two more years, bramo, two more years, and not four, and there's a good reason for that. Basically, he is the shoe in that is the assumption for the presidential election for him to be the main tension. You think so? Well, that was the implication of that. I mean, two more years for his supporters to chant that when he's about to serve for a sensibly four more years. If that's being a positive thing, then that is the only construction that you can have from it. For the people of Florida Tom, I think he's a shoo in. Whether that's true for the rest of the country remains to be seen. Early in the evening, crushing was an 8 p.m.. There was something like that. Yeah, there's a lot of uncertainty out there. There was no uncertainty about Florida. Not at all. Let's do this. Let's get right to it, and we do it with someone that's given us phenomenal support over the years. Greg valier of New Hampshire is a student of American politics. He's chief U.S. policy strategist at AGF investments and like me and our team was up most of the night in shock. What was the biggest shock, Greg? Oh, I. Think there were several in several big states. I guess the big shock was that after everyone said abortion wasn't going to be a big issue, it was a big issue. I look, Craig, where we go. Let's move forward as best we can. And part of it is within the lame duck structure of American politics. Business still has to get done. Given the lack of Republican wave, given some Democrat strength, what do the next two and three months look like? Good question. Question, Tom, I think that they have to have a very big budget bills. Shoot, and can you hear me, Tom? I think we can't Greg. I think we've got some technical difficulties. We're going to step away from that and see if we can reconnect with Greg valley and John. This goes to the lame duck nature of American. Is there a lame duck in British politics? I don't think there is. Can I just say what a classy guy Greg valier is to choose the word shoot when he thinks that he's no longer on air? Oh, I don't know what it is. I'm just not the word that I would have chosen at that particular point. I don't know. I misspoke there, but is there a lame duck in British politics? I don't think there is, like, you lose your out. We lose you out, particularly. Like the number 10 Downing Street, the removal van arrives and you take out your stuff. And is Greg mentioned before we were on air with the technical difficulties. It's going to be a stunning November December. So I'm going to fold the market stuff in because I think we've all seen the same charts over the last few months, about divided government and the performance in year three of the presidency, often always the best year for a presidential term. You get year three and the equity market rips. Jim read a Deutsche Bank this morning. In conclusion, a midterms and subsequent positive equity performance charts that you're seeing from me and others have to be put in context unless, of course, you think the lack of the year three recession through history can be easily explained that it's likely to repeat in 2023 if so please let me know ASAP before I finish my 23 outlook. Great. Well, I mean, how much can you look at seasonality at a time? Such stark differences when it comes to the backdrop. And that I think is what a lot of people are asking. Hard to know how people are reading the politics in this. Every single person who's come on this show is said, it is not about politics. It's about inflation. It's about the Federal Reserve, and it's about what's happening internationally with China and potentially reopening or not. And that really is going to still be front and center, especially with gridlock in D.C.. And this is the great link between the haves and the have nots in America. They're both focused on inflation. Maybe for different reasons. But this report that we see tomorrow John is an American report for all Americans. The question we're asking and Lisa put it wow is midterm seasonality, so called midterm seasonality relevant to this market.

"There's Texas, you said there are two other states. Yes, the other one that's the most concerning is going on right now in Georgia, where a law passed since the 2020 election makes it dramatically easier for people to come in and basically say, I think that this person is not a registered voter or who is a registered voter is not valid and should be kicked off the voter rolls. And so a group of affiliated with some allies of Donald Trump has gone into various counties. They went into gwinnett county, which is formerly Republican part of the state that's now trending democratic. And they challenged the voter registrations of 37,000 people. What was the basis for saying they had identified those particular people? Yeah, so under the 1993 motor voter law, it's actually kind of hard to remove someone from the voter rolls. It has to be done under certain circumstances. So there's a lot of times where someone has moved to a new state, they'll remain on the old state's voter rolls until either the state gets some kind of notification that they've moved or they don't vote, and they show up as inactive. And then they get sent a postcard. And if they don't respond to the postcard, then they're finally canceled, but it can take years for that process to play out. So there's always some dead weight on the voter rolls. So the risk is that along with people who maybe shouldn't be on the voter rolls in Georgia anymore. A lot of people who do live in Georgia should be able to vote in Georgia, but are now being disqualified. Right. There's a reason why they typically wait to clean the voter rolls until the January following a major federal election. And that's because it's bad to take someone off you should be allowed to vote. Like this one who's legally valid and just hasn't voted in a while because they just weren't inspired by the candidates or they got busy, or they forgot. And then they decide, no, this is a time I'm going to vote and they show up to vote and they can't. And George doesn't have same day voter registration. So they're out of luck. And the last state is Florida, never assured of drama there. I will say Florida after the 2000 election where everything kind of came down to Florida and all eyes were on Florida. Really cleaned up its laws and overall it's voting laws are pretty good. And they really didn't want to tinker with them too much. The main change that they made that was problematic since the 2020 election was that the governor Ron DeSantis asked for a special election crimes, police task force, kind of agency, that reports directly to him. And what is it that police force is going to do? Well, what they're supposed to do is look for people who voted fraudulently. People who voted twice, you know, voter registrations that people who've broken some kind of voting law. And yeah, the particular reason why it was flagged as problematic was just that they report directly to the governor. And so sure enough, a couple of days before the primary, Florida governor Ron DeSantis held a press conference in which he said, well, you know, I'm announcing that we're charging a bunch of people around the state with crime of voting even though they are felons and aren't allowed to vote. And normally I've been to a lot of these kinds of press conferences in the past, usually they're done by an attorney general, and usually if it was something as sensitive as voter fraud, they wouldn't do it three days before a primary. And this was very much not, did not follow that rule. He did not name who the people were. He didn't say where they were from. He just sort of insinuated that they were from more democratic areas of the county. He went to a democratic county to make the announcement. People in the state voting right advocates in the states said that doing this just before an election is kind of an effort to intimidate people who may be unsure if they can vote. And it's particularly fraught in Florida because voters actually passed a referendum to restore voting rights to felons, which the state legislature and desantis then undermined by sort of complicating the process for doing that. So there may be a lot of people who are really uncertain of whether they can vote. And by holding this announcement by doing this, you know, these sort of made some of those people more fearful of voting. The other reason why it was problematic is that as it came out, who these people were, a lot of their cases were, you know, they were told by elections officials that they could vote. You know, in one case they were sort of directly handed a forum and said here sign up to register, it's fine. And so those cases really weren't as strong as he made them sound. So that's widely thought

"Update. Florida governor Ron DeSantis is dismissing accusations that he flew about 50 migrants to Martha's Vineyard as a political stunt. Trey Thomas reports. Monday, desantis claimed the migrants went voluntarily. An investigation has been opened in Texas where bear county sheriff Javier Salazar alleges the migrants were lured flown to Florida and ultimately left to fend for themselves at Martha's Vineyard. Desantis chartered two planes to transport the migrants last week, as part of broader efforts by Republicans to bus migrants to Democrat run cities. I'm Trey Thomas.

"Governor Ron DeSantis have angered many with their latest political stunt rounding up migrants from the Mexican border and busting them across the country under false pretenses of jobs and housing earlier in the week the two politicians shipped about 100 migrants to Harris Washington, D.C. residents, and a Martha's Vineyard. Now Abbott is used 50 more people as pawns and desantis says more drop offs are coming. Many lawmakers and other politicians have called the move human trafficking or kidnapping. President Biden is urging Vladimir Putin not to use nuclear weapons to the war against Ukraine in a recent sit down with 60 minutes an interviewer noted Putin is being pushed back into a corner and may consider using chemical or tactical nuclear weapons in retaliation and asked what Biden would say to him. His response was clear, saying quote, don't, don't, don't. You will change the face of war unlike anything since World War II, while he didn't get into specifics, the president said the severity of Putin's crime would determine what kind of response the U.S. would provide. I'm Chris karashi. And I'm Susanna Palmer in the Bloomberg newsroom. Florida governor Ron DeSantis says the two flights transporting migrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts are just the beginning. Desantis said the move is to put this issue on the front burner for sanctuary cities who often don't directly bear the brunt of people arriving at the border. This comes after Texas governor Greg Abbott's decision to bust migrants to democratic lead cities, such as Washington, D.C., and New York.

You're listening to masters in business with Barry riddles on Bloomberg radio. I'm Barry results you're listening to masters and business on Bloomberg radio. My extra special guest this week is Albert vendor. He is managing partner at Union Square ventures, whose portfolio companies include such firms as coinbase, DuoLingo, Etsy, and Twitter. He is the author of the book the world after capital, describing the digital shift to the knowledge economy. So let's talk a little bit about this book. Starting with what is technological, non linearity. I like that phrase. The basic idea is that every once in a while, in humanity's history, we invent things that radically change what we as society have as a binding constraint on us. So let me make that very concrete. For hundreds of thousands of years, our ancestors were foragers. They were hunter gatherers. They would go out and find things. And eat berries and kill little squirrels. And then roughly 10,000 years ago, we had a bunch of inventions. We figured out that you could plant seeds that you could irrigate them that you could domesticate animals that you could use the dung from the animals to as a fertilizer. We figured all those things out and we got agriculture. And the constraints shifted from how much food can you find to how much land arable land do you have? And when that constraint shifted, we changed just about everything about how humanity lives. Like we went from being migratory to being sedentary. We went from very flat tribal societies to very hierarchical agrarian societies. We went from being clearly like polygamous polyamorous, whatever you want to call it, to being monogamous ish. We went from having religions where everything was a spirit, a tree, a rock, everything had a spirit in it. We went from that to theistic relations where there was some defined number of gods. Then fast forward to a couple hundred years ago, we had sort of the enlightenment with the enlightenment we had scientific breakthroughs and we figured out how to dig up stuff out of the ground and burn it and create energy and make heat and electricity and all those things. And the constraint shifted again, it shifted from how much land do you have to how much physical capital can you create? How many machines can you build? How many buildings roads, railroads, et cetera? That's really interesting. And we changed everything yet again. And so now the point of the book is, guess what? We have to change everything yet again because capital this is why the book is called the world of a capital capital is no longer the binding constraint. Instead, it's human attention. Human attention. So that's the third great shift is. So we went from agricultural scarcity to having enough food. We went from forger to agrarian. So from food scarcity to land scarcity. Then we went from land scarcity to capital city. And now we're going from capital scarcity to attention scarcity. Capital is no longer scarce, so now a tension is the new scarcity, which there's a line in the book that really caught my eye attention is time plus intentionality. Explain that. Yeah, so speech just tells you how fast you're going. Velocity to tells you how fast you're going towards something towards some destination. Speed plus direction. Speed, plus
