As you get involved with Turning Point USA, it's the most important student movement in the country. So go to tpusa .com, that is tpusa .com. Buckle up everybody, here we go. Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House folks. I want to thank Charlie, he's an incredible guy, his spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job. Building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. Joining us now is Representative Andrew Clyde. Congressman, thank you for joining us. He tweeted out, the American people gets to decide who wins the White House, not the deep state. We must defund the left, sham prosecutions against Donald Trump. Republican lawmaker unveils push to block funding for Trump prosecutions, obviously, but this was met with opposition by 16 Republicans. Inexplicably, we will name their names shortly. Actually, we'll get to that. Congressman, thank you for joining us and tell us about it. Well, thank you, Charlie. It's great to be with you. Well, I think it's important that, as you said, the American people decide who our next president is going to be and not the deep state, not the weaponized government. And we are seeing time after time where the federal government is being used to prosecute a political candidate. That doesn't happen in America. That's kind of the conduct that you see in banana republics, where the sitting that those in power use their power to prosecute and try and throw in jail their political opponent. So these two amendments, so one would defund from the federal level any funds going to the prosecution of a presidential candidate between now and the November 24 elections, OK? And then the other amendment would do the same thing. It would deny federal funding to any state entity that does the same thing, that prosecutes a presidential candidate. It's very even handed, both Republican or Democrat. So what I'm trying to do is prevent the process from becoming the penalty here, because that's exactly what the left, the weaponized left is trying to do. Because you can't recover from the process. So how is this being met by and I was talking about actually when you tried to defund the FBI headquarters, we'll get that in a second. How is this being met by your more moderate Republican colleagues? Well, so far, for those that I have spoken to on the Appropriations Committee and in leadership, it's being met very positively. I think it's the right thing to do. There's still some work to be done. So I'm calling on all of my Republican colleagues to support these amendments. It's going to have to go into the Commerce Justice Science appropriation, which has not yet been marked up in our Appropriations Committee. I'm on that committee. And so I'll be offering both of those amendments and I expect that they will be approved and go into the base text of the bill. But then if we do a C .R. as well, you know, there's some qualifications for or any C .R. to go forward, in my opinion. Then it would have to be part of the C .R. as well. So I think it's very, very important that that all the Republicans get on board and support these amendments. So there was also a question about blocking the FBI's new headquarters. And is it true that 16 Republicans got in the way of that, Congressman, when you were attempting to do that? Tell us about it. Well, that was in the markup for the financial services and general government appropriation. And there is about six hundred and seventy million dollars that was set aside for the FBI's new building. It's about a little over half the amount that currently exists. The whole project is like four billion. It's going to be bigger than the Pentagon in size, which is absolutely ridiculous. The FBI does not need it by introducing an amendment to defund that six hundred and seventy million and to apply that to our national debt to pay off that portion of our national debt. And it did not pass in the in the appropriations process. We had 16 Republicans that voted against it. Now, I'll tell you that after that vote, there were some that came to me and said, hey, I think I made the wrong vote. And we're going to give them another opportunity when that actual appropriation comes to the House floor. I'm going to introduce the same amendment again. And I think there will be some change of heart, I believe, when it comes to their vote on that amendment on the House floor. So, yeah, there was a list of 16 Republicans that resisted it. Is that correct? And I want to that is correct. OK, so I want to name them. And if I have the wrong list, correct me. But it looks as if it's Steve Womack, David Valadeo, Mike Simpson, Hal Rogers, Daniel Newhouse, Julia Letow, David Joyce, Ashley Henson, Kay Granger, Scott Franklin, Jake Elsie, Mario Diaz -Balart, Juan Siscamani, Jerry Carl, Ken Calvert, Mark Amati and Robert Alderholt. What what possible reason could they give you for opposing that? Well, not a lot of them gave me a reason at all. But, you know, mind you, some of them came to me after the fact and said, hey, you know, I think I made the wrong choice. Why? Because they were hearing from their constituents. The FBI does not need a new building. I mean, they've got one point two billion dollars set aside, six hundred and seventy or so million in financial services, general government appropriation and another five hundred some million in the commerce justice science appropriation. So I think these folks will probably take a strong second look when the amendment comes onto the House floor for the FBI bill. And I believe that that there will be some change of votes. I really do. And I hope so, because that's the right thing to do. The FBI has been so weaponized as of in the last couple of years under this current administration. There is truly a two tiered system of justice here. We are seeing it time and time again when you have the treatment of Hunter Biden and then you have the treatment of President Trump. And all of those who support the conservative voices that are crying out. So I think we're going to see some different votes here. So let's now focus on September 30th. This looks to be the big day, right? So a previous Congress punted it to really, really neuter you guys. So this date has been on the calendar for quite some time. So you're inheriting a previous Congress's funding deadline, September 30th. What are you guys willing to do? Our position on this program, no short term funding bills, line in the sand. We need a fight. We gave you guys a majority for a reason. Where's your head at? What are the asks? Are you willing? How close to the line are you guys willing to get? Walk us through it. Well, I'll tell you, first off, you know, we've known the September 30th deadline has been here for a long time. And we promised as Republicans that we would bring 12 appropriation bills out of committee onto the House floor. And I expect us to do that. I expect us to keep our word. I'm on the Appropriations Committee. I'm certainly willing to be there from from today until the very end of September so that we can get all these, the rest of the appropriation bills across the finish line. Ten of them have come out of committee already. We've got two left to deal with in committee, both the Labor Health Human Services Education Appropriation and the Commerce Justice Science Appropriation. Those are the two we have left in committee. But we've got 10 that are available to go to the House floor. Actually, one already has the Milcon VA passed in July. So we've got nine that can go immediately to the House floor and get a vote. We need to be doing that to keep our word. Any short term continuing resolution, though, cannot be an unqualified or blind or what they call clean CR. Otherwise, we are simply promoting the policies of the policies and the spending levels of Nancy Pelosi. And that's wrong. I will never support that. And I'll tell you, a significant number of Republicans will not support that either. Well, that message needs to be heard loud and clear by the leadership. So just really quick, Congressman, and I just I'm hearing different things and I've always gotten along with Speaker McCarthy and I still do. But there's whispers that there might be a vote to vacate. Are you hearing that from other members? Well, I will tell you that a clean CR or an unqualified CR, it will risk our majority and therefore it will risk the speakership. I think what you're seeing is is the country gave us the majority to change the direction, change the course of Congress. We had the speakers fight in January, which I think fundamentally changed the way Congress operates. And I think that has to continue or we will truly jeopardize our majority and we will jeopardize Kevin McCarthy as speaker.

Well, folks, the big news of the day is, of course, PayPal launching their U .S. dollar stablecoin on the Ethereum blockchain. This is massive, massive news. PayPal is a giant company, a well -known brand existed before crypto, of course, and they are building on the Ethereum blockchain. So there are multiple impacts to the crypto industry and market here. One further validation that the technology solves real world problems. You have a big name like PayPal adopting it further gives credibility to the crypto industry and the asset class. It will help usher in more capital from institutional investors and obviously more retail will enter the market. So let me give you some details here. PayPal launches U .S. dollar stablecoin pay USD, which is, well, the ticker symbol is PYUSD is designed to contribute to the opportunity stablecoins offer for payments and is 100 % backed by U .S. dollar deposits, short term U .S. treasuries and similar cash equivalents. PayPal USD is redeemable one to one for U .S. dollars and is issued by Paxos Trust Company. Now, remember, Paxos was the one working with Binance to launch BUSD. In fact, I interviewed the co -founder and CEO of Paxos last year, Charles Cascarilla. You can definitely check out that interview. And Paxos is a regulated entity. Now all of a sudden, six months later, Paxos was green lighted to, of course, manage issue and manage the PayPal stablecoin. Funny how that works out, right, guys? So they said here, starting today and rolling out in the coming weeks, eligible U .S. PayPal customers who purchase PayPal USD will be able to, one, transfer a PayPal USD between PayPal and compatible external wallets, send person to person payments using PYUSD, fund purchases with PayPal USD by selecting it at checkout, convert any of PayPal supported cryptocurrencies to and from PayPal USD. So another on and off ramp. And remember, PayPal already offers the ability to buy and sell crypto via the PayPal app as well as the Venmo app. So this is huge, guys. Once again, further validation, massive adoption here, very bullish. And, you know, one of the things I was talking about today and I was tweeting about it, we're seeing some big news items coming out here that it's almost priming for a pump. Right. And Bitcoin has been moving sideways for a long time. Kind of boring. It needs some sort of catalyst to drive it either up or down. So there's no guarantee which way it's going to go. We'll have to wait and see. But this news is almost looking like a primer for a move upwards for Bitcoin to continue its retracement. Now, some are calling for new all time highs this year. I hope it happens, but I'm going to default to how Bitcoin has played out historically. So here's a quote from Dan Schulman, the president and CEO of PayPal. The shift towards digital currencies requires a stable instrument that is both digitally native and easily connected to a fiat currency like the U .S. dollar, said Dan Schulman, president and CEO of PayPal. Our commitment to responsible innovation and compliance and our track record delivering new experiences to our customers provides the foundation necessary to contribute to the growth of digital payments through PayPal USD. And it continues here, the article, which and this is really insightful. It says, building the bridge between Fiat and Web three for consumers, merchants and developers, PayPal USD will be available to consumers, merchants and developers to seamlessly connect fiat and digital currencies as the only stable coin supported within the PayPal network. PayPal USD leverages PayPal's decades long experience in payments at scale, combined with the speed cost programmability of block chain protocols as an ERC 20 issued token on the Ethereum block chain, PayPal used or PayPal USD will be available to an already large and growing community of external developers, wallets and Web three applications can be easily adopted by exchanges and will be deployed to power experiences within the PayPal ecosystem. Folks, big things are happening. I hope you recognize what is taking place here right before your eyes and what's on the horizon. What's going to take place here? Game theory, expect more players to come out with their versions of the stable coins or their stable coin, and I tweeted about it. I expect the stable coin wars to heat up, folks. And I tweeted about this in October of twenty twenty two. My predictions about what's going to happen this year and I said, expect stable coin wars to heat up next year. It wouldn't surprise me if the U .S. government was to select like Circles USDC for their digital dollar. And right now, Tether is the largest stable coin in the market. USDC is the second largest. But boy, expect P .Y. USD to jump up there because PayPal has millions of customers and they can easily get a lot of adoption overnight right in a very short period of time. And they have a trusted brand. People recognize it. They will want to use it. So huge, huge news. And one of the things I tweeted about is I'm curious if Elon Musk, he's going to create a stablecoin for X. Some people said he said he won't do that. But look, he could change his mind or he's going to use PayPal's stablecoin, given he was one of the founders of PayPal. That's where his pedigree is, right? Payments. And that's what he's trying to do with X. So this is has a lot of implications, guys, and very bullish for the market. Here's what Patrick McHenry, the House Financial Services chairman, one of the gentlemen who put out crypto regulations and much more. He said this announcement is a clear signal that stablecoins, if issued under a clear regulatory framework, hold promise as a pillar of our 21st century payments system. So big statements there, folks. Now, Chainlink God, many of you may follow this handle, did a great summary on why this is a big deal. So he said he did a whole thread. He said, why does PayPal launching a stablecoin P .Y. USD on Ethereum matters? First, P .Y. USD shows there's a clear demand from financial services companies to tokenize assets on blockchain. Tokenizing dollars is the most straightforward asset to tokenize and is directly relevant for payment processors like PayPal. PayPal has a majority share of online payment processing with 40 million plus transactions processed per day, over 400 million plus active users globally and 30 million plus merchant accounts. PayPal launching their stablecoin legitimizes crypto Web3 and stablecoins for normies and regulators. The fact that PayPal is issuing P .Y. USD on a public or the public Ethereum blockchain instead of a private PayPal chain shows the power of network effects. Folks, that is key. It goes back to what we've talked many times about and even I've shared thoughts from David Schwartz of Ripple. Wall gardens, you know, they're they're fine, but don't expect the public and people to use it, right, because it's just another centralized ledger. And we've seen JP Morgan try it with JPM coin. But who the hell is going to want to use it? It's a wall garden. So private blockchains will exist. That's fine. You can do your private blockchain, but that doesn't mean it's going to get mass adoption. And as Chainlink got highlighted here, network effects, Metcalfe's law, right, folks, the more adoption a network gets, the more participants, more builders, the stronger it becomes, the more valuable it becomes. So he said here, no doubt they will expand to other chains as well as other stablecoins have to obtain more market share. So we know USD and UST together, you know, they're on multiple blockchains. Expect P .Y. USD to do the same thing. He said the market cap of all stablecoins is over one hundred and twenty two billion dollars, peaking at one hundred and eighty billion a year ago. While amount circulating has downtrended during the bear market, it has held up much better than the price of most tokens or total value loss of most decentralized applications. The demand is sticky and P .Y. USD could be a major growth factor. Stablecoins are fundamentally a superior version of fiat, digitally native, programmable, low fees, fast settlement, zero borders, permissionless to transact in. Is this just the very beginning of PayPal stepping into Web3, which shares many of the same properties? Folks, I think so. I think they're going to do a lot more. So he continues here. But I want to just share some some of the thoughts. You know, this is a pretty long thread. So bullish news, bullish news for the market, whether you hold Ethereum or not. But I hold ETH. I've been holding ETH for a long time. I diversify. My number one holding is XRP. My number two is Bitcoin. My number three is Ethereum. And I stake ETH and I earn passive rewards. So great news here. Now, folks, speaking of Ethereum, we got some big news. We all know Bill Hinman and Jay Clayton did the backroom deal with Ethereum folks, Joe Lubin and Vitalik. Right. And Ethereum got the free pass. It was through the speech of Bill Hinman that Ethereum was said to not be a security. And that, of course, gave it an unfair advantage over the rest of the altcoins in the market. But we know this was an under the table backroom deal corruption. Right. I don't want to rehash all the details. You guys all know this. Well, Stuart Aldorati of Ripple, he's the chief legal officer. He tweeted out something very interesting today. And I couldn't believe it when I first read it. But he said, Crypto critic, ex SEC official John Reed Stark, who has blocked me, by the way, says there should be an investigation to Bill Hinman. This is a this is broader than Ripple. There could potentially be serious conflicts of interest by a government official. An investigation will either put it to rest or hold folks accountable. So even someone who is a critic of crypto, John Reed Stark, and he blocked me because I used to I share a lot of facts with him. He didn't like that. But even he can agree. Yeah, this does not look good. Yeah, of course. Anybody with a normal sense of logic and reasoning can see something is fishy here. And I think Jay Clayton should be investigated to these two corrupt government officials. Obviously, they're not at the SEC anymore. And it's funny, I often criticize both of them, especially Jay Clayton. He's the chairman. He rubber stamped everything. Then he filed a lawsuit against Ripple and ran out the SEC door the next day. Then he goes to work for a crypto company. These guys are scumbags. Right. They're supposed to have integrity. And serve the people. They're there, you know, working in government, using the taxpayer dollars. And yet they're doing all kinds of nonsense like this. But guys, I hope I hope Congress and some folks in the House Financial Services Committee take action and they, you know, go ahead and launch an investigation. I think we deserve that. And look, big shout out to John Deaton, who's been beating the drum on this for a long time and as well as the people at Empire Oversight, the nonprofit whistleblower organization, which did a lot of FOIA requests, sue the SEC to get the Hinman documents, emails and much more. And of course, we saw they were colluding with Joseph Lubin and Vitalik and much more. Right. So John Deaton did a full post on this. I'm not going to read through everything, but essentially saying, look, if crypto is going to stand back, Mifrides and Alex Mashinsky, we need to be held accountable. The cleanup includes the unelected bureaucrats who sold out. Well put, John. And look, people call John a scammer. They called him a liar. They call him a conspiracy theorist. But he was right all along. And the folks at Empire Oversight got a lot of the information, all the facts that we were looking for. And we know a lot of people who were attacking John were those trying to cover it up because they knew what happened. But the truth will come out. Everything done in darkness will be brought to light, folks. So I'm hoping Congress launches an investigation in order for us to get that. We have to keep using social media. We have to keep contacting a representative. So if you're not on Twitter, please get on Twitter. Follow me. Start retweeting John, myself, all these all these facts that we're putting out there to get the attention of Congress and to hold these folks accountable. Now, let's move ahead. Ripple and Rocky Mountain Institution are proud founding partners of Centragate Earth, a new open data platform that brings increased transparency, trust and integrity to carbon markets. Centragate powers the next evolution in carbon markets. So the TLDR here is there's a lot of tokenization on blockchains around carbon credits. And Ripple is working with different folks to get this done. And of course, the XRP ledger will be a solution for for these folks to do that. You know, they highlight that here in the article. Ripple, for example, they said Ripple and other industry players recognize that blockchain can be a catalytic tool for helping global carbon markets reach their full potential. As its core, blockchain enables more efficient transactions. Unlike proof of work blockchains, the open source blockchain technology that ripples that powers Ripple solutions, the XRP ledger is natively sustainable, requiring low amounts of energy and no cryptocurrency mining. The XRP ledger is the first major blockchain to achieve net zero status through the purchase of renewable energy for its remaining energy use. So pretty clear the goal here and with tokenization. So that's big unlocking new utility and use cases, folks. Now, we got news here of a new crypto fund about to launch. So CF Private Equity is building a blockchain fund. It appears to be the first fund dedicated specifically to blockchain investments for the business. So we're seeing all the TradFi hedge funds, investment firms, they're launching crypto funds. Of course they are. Right. We saw it with Paul Tudor Jones and Stan Druckenmiller and the list goes on and on and on. So the firm known as Common Fund Capital, prior to a rebrand at the beginning of this year, has hinted at its crypto interests since 2018. But CF Private Equity, according to an SEC filing from the beginning of August, is preparing to launch what appears to be the first fully digital asset private equity venture. The move is perhaps the most telling indicator yet of the firm's crypto ambitions. The vehicle's filing indicated an expected fund raise of one hundred million dollars. But it's possible the disclosed figure only pertains to the fund's first close. A spokesperson for the company declined to comment when reached. Folks, again, I know I ask this and I say this a lot. Do you see what's happening? Right. Watch what they do, not what they say. I see a lot of capital flowing in this market. I see building and adoption funds being launched, and that makes me very bullish. Now, let's end it with some news here. We started the podcast with some news about stable coins. Now we got some news around Huobi. So Huobi dismisses plunging stable coin reserves as FUD. Exchange spokesperson refuted claims that any team members have been detained by Chinese authorities. In my opinion, Huobi seems like a dying company. It's connected to Justin Sun, with Tron and much more. Look, I would stay away from Huobi, folks, and Justin Sun. I don't know what that dude is up to. I've just seen a lot of shady activity from him. So following speculation that Chinese officials detained some Huobi executives, the crypto exchanges stable coin reserves have dwindled as much as 34 percent in the past week. Local Chinese media reported that law enforcement detained at least three Huobi executives. Allegedly, some employees were sent an urgent notification advising them to depart the country at the earliest. Adam Cochrane, a partner of Sinem Hain Ventures, relayed information. He alleges came directly from a high ranking executive at Tron, stating that team members were facing a criminal probe tied to the activities associated with Huobi. So we'll see, folks. Things are not looking too good here. If you are a user of Huobi, I would highly recommend you be very careful here. You know, I would avoid this platform at all costs, guys. There's something happening here where there's smoke that expires, so please be careful. All right, folks, that's the news. Please be sure to check out my interview with Brock Pierce. He's a crypto OG and legend. Guys, we talk about everything. He's one of the co -founders of Tether. So, you know, he has great perspectives on the crypto market. Be sure to check out that interview as well. And let me know what you think about the PayPal news. I think this is very bullish for the crypto market. And we're going to see stablecoin wars heat up. We're going to see game theory play out other. Look, I wouldn't surprise me tomorrow if Amazon launch a stablecoin and they call it Primecoin, right? Because they already have Amazon Prime. Guys, the future is bright for this market. Ignore the FUD. Be prepared for the volatility that just comes with the market, but that swing, the swings that go very low also go very high, my friends, and it allows you to make money. But you got to be patient and you have to know when to enter the market and when to exit when there's blood on the streets and fair, you buy the dip dollar cross average when there's euphoria and everybody and your Uber driver and grandma are telling you about Bitcoin. That's the time to sell. We've we've seen this, right? If you've been here multiple times for multiple bull markets and bear markets, you know the deal. For those of you who are new, you got to put your emotions to the side. You got to spend time researching and educate yourself. That's super important. All right, folks, let me know what you think. Leave your thoughts and comments below. Hit the thumbs up button, hit the five star rating, and I'll talk to you all later.

Donald Trump attending the opening day of a civil fraud trial in New York City today where he faces the judge who ruled that the former president inflated his net worth by more than two billion dollars by overvaluing his real estate portfolio. Former federal prosecutor Robert Mintz says the stakes are big for Trump. If he is barred from doing business in New York and he is required to sell off all of his New York real estate portfolio it could cost him hundreds of millions of dollars and severely damage not only the Trump brand but also the value of his business. Opening arguments in the case are underway. On Capitol Hill, half being presided over a bipartisan vote to keep the government funded through mid -November, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy now faces a challenge to his leadership from his right flank.

A highlight from FULL INTERVIEW - Curtis Sliwa, Founder & CEO of Guardian Angels
"I gotta bring my buddy Curtis Sliwa in here, I guarantee he's got plenty to say about this because I've known Curtis for a long time, of course, years, years of friendship, founder of the Guardian Angels, host on 77WABC in New York City. And Curtis, it's been a long time my friend, good to catch up with you. Before we talk about the lunacy of the two billion dollars being handed out to failed teacher applicants, give me your reaction to this breaking story that President Trump, he says, is about to get indicted and arrested for a third time. Is this going to continue to show him soaring in the polls? Or is this the thing that's going to maybe take him out? Oh, no doubt, Mike, it'll make him the male version of Joan of Arc. They're putting him at the stake, they're trying to burn him and trying to isolate him. But as you know, amongst Trumpers, it just empowers him all the more. And you say, why now? Why the pileup? It started with Alvin Bragg, who won't even arrest and prosecute criminals. It started with that bogus case, the payoff supposedly for dollars for prostitution. And then it's just gotten it's accelerated more and more and more. And we know what it's meant to do. It's meant to put Trump on the sideline. Now, I happen to be one that doesn't want to relive the election in 2020 with Biden or Trump. But if the people want Donald Trump and if they want Joe Biden round two, then this is what they should be given. That's right. The people get to decide. And that's what they're trying to change. They're trying to take it out of the hands of the voters. And it is disgusting. Listen, I'm with you. I'm with whoever the people pick. I'm going to be a Republican supporting broadcaster. But at the end of the day, what we're witnessing to Donald Trump is disgraceful. And think I Americans, you ought to see the angry texts and calls we're getting. You're going to get them, too. And it's infuriating. Equally stunning is the news from New York City. Now, you were a mayoral candidate. You'd have been, by the way, a splendid mayor. It's why I contributed to your campaign. I love who you are and what you represent. I've often told my friends there's about five life stories, books, movies that can be made about the life of Curtis Sliwa, the founder of the Guardian Angels. So you know New York like the back of your hand. Can you please walk us through the funny farm, the insane asylum of New York giving almost $2 billion, making millionaires out of hundreds of people who happen to be black or Hispanic and took the teacher's exam and failed? Please, please shed some light on this crazy story. Well, it's hard for the course and why people continue to exit New York State and New York City in unprecedented numbers. It's the insanity of our elected officials, Governor Kathy Hochum, I call her Hochum, and Eric Adams. I call him the swagger man with no plan, mayor of the illegal aliens who just keeps encouraging illegals to come in. And we, the taxpayers of New York City, have to fund it. So now being dropped on us simultaneously is a lawsuit that none of us were aware of that's been going on since 1994 for about 20 years. You had a series of black and Hispanics who had failed the test to become a teacher in the public school system of New York. It's civil service. It doesn't look at your color. It looks at what was the mark that you got on your test. And they failed. And now all of a sudden, so many years later, rather than continue to fight the good fight and say not a nickel dime a penny, Corporation Council under Eric Adams, swagger man with no plan, has decided, hey, let's just pay it out. And you're going to have $1 .8 billion to be paid out to approximately 5 ,200 black and Hispanics who took the test and failed to qualify to become a New York City teacher. Now you need to know at that time, Mike, there were other black and Hispanics who took the test and passed. And by now they're tenured and they're right about at the point of retiring and going to Florida and enjoying their very generous pension system that they get from the public school system of New York City. So how is it some blacks and Hispanics were able to pass it and others were not, but the ones who couldn't are going to end up making windfall money that you couldn't make in Powerball or Lotto? I mean, this one guy they interviewed is going to get over $2 million. And he was shocked. And of course, he's ecstatic. And he bragged to the New York Post reporter how he failed the test a lot. So I guess failing a lot, the more you fail the test, Curtis, the more you make.

Senator joe manchin wants the total for the democrats reconciliation bill to drop as low as one to one point five trillion dollars though for what it's worth.

The bill will kick off in earnest today as the house ways and means committee.

College won't likely make it to the white house intact. Likewise a battlefield limited resources is driving the fight over which healthcare proposals include pit into house against the senate and the white house. Now the dollar totally dictated by how much democrats can generate puts tax hikes and other revenue raisers. Which by the way is a huge area of contention itself. Democrats could find themselves with about one to two trillion dollars in revenue depending on how much they scaled back.

"two billion dollars" Discussed on The Information's 411
"The startup. Qatar was supposed to reinvent construction. It raised more than two billion dollars. Over the last six years to build factories hire thousands of employees and make a slew of acquisitions. Its aim was to create faster methods for building apartments offices and all kinds of buildings. This is wendy. Pollock the information senior editor here with corey. Weinberg who has closely documented katina's rise and fall. Hey corey hello so it. All really came crashing down this week for tara. You broke the news that the company was shutting down. Let me ask the simple question. I what happened. So what happened is a company that had raised at least two billion dollars doesn't really have any any left. That was the message that the company left to employees many of whom they were laying off this week and qatar has been kind of a saga which i have been trying to report on for honestly like four five years now. It's been pretty clear for a really long time. That things were not good at guitar that they was beset by mismanagement and struggling projects and a a lot of issues particularly on do the executive and investor levels and all of that kind of came crashing down in recent months essentially what. The company told employees that that that they had a rapid deterioration of. It's the company's financial position. In part due to covid you know sort of material and labour becoming a lot more expensive. The company also was not able to secure any new debt for the construction projects that they were taking on and they couldn't raise any more capital so just a real host of issues that essentially to this company's demise and as you reported the the company nearly collapsed last year right. So what happened then. Yeah so last. Year was another big year for patera almost this time last year. Essentially the board of directors was voting out guiterrez co founder and ceo. Michael marks. who was really the face of katara. He was this guy in his late sixties. Who had run several. You know sort of major businesses before and was a well known name in silicon valley and marks gave katara A real some real clout but investors realized that he had totally mismanaged the company. They voted him out A new regime came in the company tried to raise even more money to kind of keep it afloat despite the fact that it was losing a ton of money because it was not building apartments for as cheap as they said it would and essentially the reserve just kind of kept kept draining. The company considered chapter eleven bankruptcy last year. They found it up money to keep itself afloat for the time being and of time just sort of ran for them. I think why are people in silicon valley so interested in this company. What did you represent. I think katara represented a major effort to prove the thesis that technology can finally improve the productivity of construction in the us. I think silicon valley has always been really obsessed particularly recently with old line industries. Can it can at disrupt real estate. Candidates dropped healthcare. These really big societal. Problems and construction is one of them i. It's a the fact that it costs so much to build. Housing is one major reason why we have a housing shortage in this country. And qatar was the boldest to say. Hey tech consort of this. So i think that sort of generated a lot of fascination in the company so qatar failed. Does that mean. That construction can't be disrupted. I don't think it means that i mean. There are several notable companies. That are at least taking on different pieces of the construction industry. Maybe they're not quite as much money. Maybe they're just focused on making the current system a tiny bit more efficient. And and maybe they want attract as many headlines as guitar era. But they're still out there you know. I'm thinking of companies like core which they software and essentially priced software company for general contractors. They recently went public. They've had a decade long track record of success and there are a slew of smaller startups trying to take on pieces of this industry. Maybe they're not trying to do the qatari model. Which was essentially due. offsite construction. Do a lot of construction in factories and that was just incredibly expensive like tara had to build out factories all across the country. It had to figure out how to transport big wall panels from a phoenix factory to a construction site in vegas. There were just a ton of issues with its model. And i think maybe the silver lining of qatar downfall is is other companies coming after it will learn from qataris mistakes. It seems to me that this is as much a story about softbank. The world's biggest tech investor as it is about contessa. What does this say about softbank. Softbank really deserves at least a good portion of the blame for guiterrez demise was the biggest shareholder. And you know this. Qatar was an example of soft bank's strategy to essentially try to up end industries. Just by throwing a ton of capital at it like remember this ca- tara's the investment in qatar by softbank was like peak vision fund. one era. you know before it had been humbled by the decline of we work and some of its other companies were faced severe layoffs. And other kind of issues. You know qatar within that batch of of companies and and now i think it topic has probably learn some of those lessons that you can't just you know sort overcapitalize companies. In the way. They they did with guitar but You know. I think bossier she son who is sopping. Ceo has singled out. Qatar is one of one of the vision funds. Greatest failures so i think. Hopefully they'll learn from it but you know. I don't think this the company's failure tells us anything new about softbank that we didn't already know well. This has been a fascinating saga. And i encourage everyone who hasn't had a chance to be your stories about patera to to do sound. That's our show this week. Thanks so much for listening.

The president of the united states was saying things like like at the time of the idea that you're going to be able to put this back in the box by just not printing. It doesn't really make sense to me on that level. And i think it just it just makes it look like it bad people who disagreed with it look like they were weak and not confidence in their their ability to To to win that argument fact is the worst of all worlds because the op-ed was published. So if you're worried about getting out that happened but then after that the editor had to step down which sent the message. Oh look. they're afraid of. They're afraid of these. Dangerous ideas been spoken out loud because they have they have no answer to it which is which is a disaster. All around i mean like would they thought i mean if i had my way they would've they would've definitely published it because again no point trying to put that idea back in the box at that point and also it's newsworthy. That a us senator is saying that and then And then but then like why not just publish that published like an op ed by cornell west next to it like like that that seems like it would have been a better approach. I think there's this unfortunate thing going on not just there but elsewhere where because you know. The media is mostly progressive people. Think like if we just don't acknowledge certain things they'll go away. I mean there was i. I don't know.

I'm joined by brennan jenny. Brennan is currently a partner in the washington. Dc office a sidley austin where she is a member of the healthcare practice before rejoining sidley in february brennan served as the principal. Deputy general counsel at the department of health and human services as well as the chief legal officer for the centers for medicare and medicaid services prior to joining. Hhs brennan also worked at the civil division of the department of justice brennan. Welcome back to the show. Thanks for having me back on mike. It's our pleasure. Let's start with a high level. Doj enforcement trends doj's false claims act. Recovery's were down last year and in fact it was the first time since two thousand nine that the annual recovery's in healthcare cases dip below two billion dollars but the number of new healthcare false claims act suit filed by whistleblowers was up slightly and the number of new doj initiated cases. More than doubled. What do you make of these trends. I the annual recovery's were almost certainly deflated. Due to the effects of the pandemic. I don't think the dip reflects any disinterest by the government in a healthcare fraud and abuse or a weaker inflow of cases just as many companies experienced operational disruptions due to covid nineteen for a period of time last year the pace of government investigations. I think did slow but it has picked back up as doj has adjusted to a new normal. And i think we'll see the resolution of a number of matters this year that have been stuck in the pipeline second that that spike in doj initiated healthcare cases from fifty seven to one hundred and seventeen is quite notable in public remarks senior doj officials have recently acknowledged that the department has increasingly turned to running. Its own sophisticated. Data analytics on medicare billing and claims data with the goal of identifying outliers or troubling patterns. In my mind this is one of the most consequential developments in the enforcement space for healthcare providers in the past decade until recently. Doj has used data. But it's generally been in a way that's been reactive a whistleblower files a complaint and doj crunches some numbers to see if the claims data are consistent with the allegations or defendants during settlement negotiations presents. An estimate of damages and doj presents its own counter estimate but this is a whole new frontier and it really underscores the importance of providers. Having robust data driven compliance programs providers should be analyzing their own data for outliers trends to try and resolve issues internally before they are resolved through a government investigation..

I was two billion dollars were spent by the us government alone on the super freezers for the vaccine. That are turned out. You could just throw them pretty much your kenmore but now the data is that they become less effective because they're not kept cold enough. Wha- no this one you had to listen to that twice. I felt this. I misunderstood it to which doesn't make any sense. What they said. Let me listen now. They've been approved. They've been approved to keep them at were temperatures. How low it has to be. But they won't last as long. that's what i'm saying. That's what's weird now. I know it doesn't make any sense. Like how does it make any sense. Isn't there just a basic temperature when it has to be colder than that before it starts to deteriorate that that that would seem scientific to me. Yeah if you get lower would extend live. If the if the higher the temperature the quicker it deteriorates the lower the temperature. The longer it lasts that would be the normal way of looking at this. Yeah but now. They're saying if they keep it at lower temperatures What playtex again. They wanna play the whole thing again just to get that.

That's just the completely inaccurate report. Thank you for making us making his here. That again she is she saying that makes it would be higher temperature not lower. That's right that has to be those. That must have been a mess up. Because now because they didn't have the facility to keep it as sub sub zero temperatures. They needed to now. They can keep it in their regular old refrigerator. Freezer that they have at the office and it will last as long. But it's still okay. Yeah that's exactly you're right. She they screwed up the report by deconstructing. It's obvious as what happened. Solely thing it makes any sense. I'm just seeing. If i can misreporting misreporting and by the way npr. Yeah i'm just trying to find if there's any article on that specifically if i an increase okay this this is the european union website okay New manufacturing site more flexible storage conditions. A new site has been approved for the productivity of commercial community. The covid nineteen community.

I e the temperature of standard pharmaceutical freezers for a one off period of two weeks. This is an alternative to the long term storage of the vials. Attempts between minus. Nine hundred. sixty right so it's just full of shit. It's warmer temperature not a colder temperatures. Yes she's misreported. This is npr fake news. Fake nose factcheck false community. We have to understand. Is this the fan booze. Elizabeth's face reality out of this. Chinese vaccine is out there. That actually looks like a real vaccine the ask disconcerting. No wonder chinese didn't have any cases because they've got good vaccine. Got something that works with the actual thing in it thank forbid we find out about that and and and screw up phasers fabulous marketing scheme although there already pocket is so much. Money has fallen on the ground. This is bad they have. They have rebranded the moderna vaccine for europe. It was the pfizer. No this is the. i'm sorry. The biotech wasn't always called meet is called christianity. Maybe i didn't even know that we just call it. The pfizer vaccine could be again. If you're doing your marketing right. And yeah and i put the name of your company up there a lot. You know the brand name. The of the vaccine is something else. We like to xerox. So pfizer pfizer. Pfizer pfizer pfizer.

This issue needs to be talked about nationally and the racism that keeps the state trying to control the city and giving it very few resources in are taking resources away such as the airport. You know all of those things need to be part of the national conversation but it but at the same time Those things don't often breakthrough because people roll their eyes at mississippi. And you know we're seen as such a quote unquote red state language. I hate by the way and then we don't get. We don't get considered for the kinds of resources that we actually need. We are known as a taker state. Because we get a lot of we do get a lot of federal resources but it's You know it's it's. It's not an intelligent national conversation that really looks at mississippi and mississippi is the microcosm of what's going on in the whole nation and in in in cities across america and if you can't look at your arguably poorest state poverty wise in healthwise where you know our leaders won't you know they resist medicaid expansion and other solutions. You know if you can't look at that state and say what's going on. There is is a national crisis that we all need to look at our role in and what we can do about it. Then i don't think real serious about helping poor people in america what about infrastructure jackson and before we have to let you know what kind of what is what does this. Tell us about what is needed. What investments are needed right now. In jackson you know the mayor loomed likes to say that. There's there's at least two billion dollars needed for water and sewer infrastructure and maybe more than that ultimately you know this state can afford everything we need especially after being so Irresponsible in letting this drag out for so long. What we are figuring out that is really needed is for the state the city and the federal government to come together and be at the same table and really look at what can happen. Long-term sure the state right now needs to help staunch the bleeding but that conversation needs to happen right now About what can be done. Not just for jackson to help rebuild infrastructure this basic infrastructure. That's about human life and how to get past this racism and bigotry toward our cities and and toward a state like.

So which makes no sense. so he's authored by andy also mentioned the. Ceo of the company was doing rounds. He was you know making speeches that he wants the company. Yuck the company was making bosses. Don had it been pretty hot but it's not like they were in a computer. Down warriors without a blockbusters blockbuster netflix with what it would still have people going in because of discarded chris for concern xbox and ps fight people up in the store so it was not like it was just empty stores. So he's not by back and after some people when they go to know this and we understood what he was trying to stay in a whole beam styled crease. People start buying it at as you know as you mentioned the price increasing and when the losses were getting too high the heads wants wanted to close out their positions. They had to buy stocks to now. The demand is too high so prices goes up. The price keeps rising and they keep on losing money. And the biggest. I would say austin her. I don't know yet.

"two billion dollars" Discussed on Unofficial Partner Podcast
"So before we get going with the cost. Here's a short segment that gives some idea of the frenzy around the market for sports team. Acquisition currently on both sides of the atlantic and entered mark. Cuban the owner of the dallas mavericks explaining what it really means to buy a sports team billionaire hedge fund manager. Steve cohen has finalized a record deal to purchase the new york. Mets the league announced on monday. That cohen and the wilpon reached an agreement on the sale with the deal. Set to be done between a record setting two point. Four and two point four five billion dollars. The sale is subject to the approval of the major league. Baseball club owners. But if it is approved it would make it. The most amount paid for in mlb franchise go and shared on monday quote. I am excited to have reached an agreement with the wilpon and katz families to purchase the new york mets pace. It's been announced today that. Unlv k capitalist become the new owners of burnley football club but this must be very proud day for you it is. We are very excited to begin. This new journey with the cleric family This is somewhere that we have looked for a very long time to get involved with. And so this is the culmination of a lot of effort on our part. And we're very excited. You know when. I got to the dallas mavericks. I just thought you know what i think. Every professional sports new owner thinks the same way. I'm successful in business. I know what's worked for me. And i'm gonna continue to do it for the most part. I did that. But one of the things. I found out early on was sports are unlike any other industry and you could just feel in the city of dallas. That people cared that people's emotions you know jumped when the mavs won. So thank you both for coming on and obviously lows to talk about. And i want to kick off with the nba and some pushes new two zero for from it. Because what's happening a moment with this. These sort of changes of roles and and i'm the basic comtex before we get into the detail of just the sort of energy and the heat around investing in mba fry franchises. Why why is there. Such a sort of from this distance seems like quite a sort of fevered atmosphere around the nba and abandoned mba franchise. We've had a couple of big moments. Recently steve cohen buying. But just give us a a sort of idea and frame it force before we get into the detail of it. Yeah so if you look back at the historical look back all twenty years you had these teams are basically largely mom and pop operations. They were family owned They were much smaller businesses because the media dollars were much smaller. They were run on wherever local basis. I would say and what we've seen in the last five ten years as transformation the nba triple their mediate luck. National media deal so went from eight hundred million a year to two point four billion. So when when you have that kind of growth in media valuation starting to rise evaluation started rise. We have more entrance coming in very sophisticated buyer through private equity hedge funds Entrepreneurs and sarah and that changed the whole dynamic eyelids as recent. As ten years ago. You had a fair. Share of teams are losing money in the nba. And now you have very few teams losing money in the nba. So with much much higher media revenues brand new arenas being built all over the place and while acquitted in the market since. Oh eight oh nine. That's what's kinda driven values. Go much higher so there is this conversation. That's sort of live at the moment about limited partnerships. Why have they what's happening. Just explain what that means why that question that suddenly appeared yes so we've actually been involved in limited partnerships sales for years and years. It's it's just coming to the floor now. But it's been a pretty active market over long periods of time. What's happening is know the nba role. Stipulate that one general partner runs. The team is in control the team. And there's one singular person that answers to the nba to the commissioner and that that will instituted because years ago there wasn't as clear and there were issues among between gp's and in fact there were lawsuits When we were Advising on between p. and g. p. over a player trade that kind of tied the team up knots for awhile that was down in atlanta so that the nba made it very clear that there's one one person in charge as a result at the limited parts have lot of negative protections. But they don't have a lot of involvement so what's happened is over. The course of time is either. There could be a death. There could be a divorce someone Just may want liquidity. As a result he trade out of their limited partner steaks and when that happens it's basically a limited partner sailing to a limited partner buying which doesn't really involve team in in a big way it's a elpida lp sale just so we've got an idea. The sort of the amounts of money i am. I preface this. Because i'm always a bit skeptical of publicly sort of an numbers evaluation. Round so with that caveat We're looking here at sort of the average price of an nba team pushing towards two billion dollars. Would that is that..
