Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Leads Fight for No Ukraine Funding
"There's some good news. There's some good news. Despite all the Republicans voted against Ukraine funding, there actually was some good movement on a Ukraine amendment led by Marjorie Taylor Greene. She's been leading a very valiant fight. Congresswoman Greene, thank you so much for taking the time. Tell us all about it, Marjorie. Well, thank you so much for having me on, Charlie. I'm very excited. This has been quite an effort. I've been messaging, telling all my fellow colleagues that the American people are sick and tired of funding a war in Ukraine. I even had anti -war protests on the steps of the Capitol earlier this week. I have been introducing amendment after amendment to strip the money from Ukraine, and we got that accomplished. It's really because of the people, Charlie. Polling shows that most Americans do not support their hard -earned tax dollars going to Ukraine, so that was a big win for me, but it was also done with 117 other Republicans that agreed with me. All right, so Marjorie, I'm busy doing all sorts of stuff. You got to break it down for me because I'm sure the audience. Okay, so did this pass the House Representatives or pass a committee? Was this a single issue bill? Was this a rider? Was this an amendment? Just walk me through it because I want to make sure I understand it. Yes, thank you so much, Charlie. So the defense bill had 300 million dollars for Ukraine inside the bill that has been there for years, and this money goes into a special fund that the Biden administration has been using to send equipment and weapons to fund the war in Ukraine. As a matter of fact, they have spent a lot of the money out of that fund that was built up over the years, and so I've been demanding. I think I'm one of the few members of Congress that has voted for zero dollars to go to Ukraine since it has started, and I've been fighting very hard on the issue to stop it. Well, what happened this week is because I really fought my conference so hard, I'm the only Republican. As a matter of fact, I voted with the Democrats to knock down the rule, so I voted against the Republican rule for the defense bill, sending a strong message to my conference, sending a strong message that I am completely against the war money for Ukraine. Then after that happened, I had a lot of conversations. Again, I had an anti -war protest against the Ukraine war on the front of the Capitol steps. I argued in conference that if they want to fund money for Ukraine, they need to strip it out and they can vote for it, that I'm not voting for it, and there's other members that do not want to vote for it. Well, thankfully, leadership listened, and so what they did is they created another amendment that pulled them out, and we had to vote again on a separate rule that was pulled the money out of the defense bill. So the defense bill came to the floor last night, and we passed the defense appropriations bill, which is filled with so many great things, but we passed it with no money for Ukraine.

Tech Path Crypto
A highlight from 1271. Government Shutdown Countdown | Crypto Market Crash Incoming?
"All right, so we have to talk about the government shutdown looming in the wings right now, 48 hours and counting, what this might have in terms of impact on the market. Also just a little bit of framework to get you guys kind of into it, but really the outlook of what this might do to investing and just in general, the tech markets, crypto, all that good stuff. We're going to break it down for you. My name is Paul Baron. Welcome back into Tech Path. All right. So let's go to this first clip. This, of course, is Matt Gaetz and McCarthy kind of going at it to the frame of what is happening from a shutdown stance because this is really boiling down to a negotiation between the Dems and the Republicans. And also, I think in general, a certain faction of the Republicans. But let's go to this first clip and play this out for you guys listening and is looking more likely as the clock runs out on Capitol Hill. No foreign enemy has ever been able to shut down the government of the United States, but now mega Republicans are about to do just that. The Senate striking a bipartisan compromise deal to fund the government through November 17th, but Speaker Kevin McCarthy giving it no hope in the House. Will I accept and surrender to what Senate decides? The answer is no. The issue, according to McCarthy, is the Democratic led Senate left out additional border funding. McCarthy has another hurdle, five hardline House conservatives that critics have dubbed the Chaos Caucus. I've got members who will not vote to have a stopgap manager to continue to fund government. I've got members who say they'll never vote for a nominee. Well, if you won't do any of that, it's hard to govern. We spoke with the group's de facto leader, Florida Representative Matt Gaetz. Where America's lawmakers gather and take one up or down vote on funding the entire government, that is crazy. Do you worry that voters will blame Republicans for any negative effects of a shutdown? People hundreds of thousands of people having to work without pay? It's a great question. And honestly, that fear of shutdown politics is what has led us to sit atop a 33 trillion dollar debt. Well, I certainly hope we can get this resolved before anyone misses a paycheck. That's my goal. I am not a cheerleader for a shutdown. Gaetz sending a letter to the House's chief administrative officer requesting his pay be withheld. All right, so I'm going to pause it there, but as you can see, there's a little bit of a rub here. Obviously, this has a little bit of history under it as well as why the shutdowns are occurring. And mostly it's funding of certain certain areas of the government that are at odds with each other. We'll get into some of that here in a second. This, of course, is President Biden comes in and says this May McCarthy and I reached the deal. This is the deal that Gaetz is talking about. Let me zoom in on that tweet right there. Deal that would fund the essential priorities and cut the deficit over one trillion. Now there's a group of extreme House Republicans rather shut it down than live up to the deal because there was a deal in place. There are some things within that deal that has caused this. But really what this boils down to is what kind of impact is going to have on the markets and where does that play? Here was the Kobe Easey letter coming in. U .S. government now 48 hours a week, comes with three months less, the largest debt ceiling crisis since 2011.

Well with the government shutdown looming, we were worried that if we didn't do it soon, we able wouldn't be to get it before we actually needed to in two weeks. And as people rush to get married ahead of a possible shutdown, economists and investors are rushing to assess the possible damage from a government shutdown.

"News. Everything you need every time you listen. The WTOP producers desk is wired by IBEW Local 26 where electrical contractors come to grow. Good morning, I'm Dan Ronen. Matt Small is at the producers desk. This morning the top stories that we're following you for today here on WTOP. The speaker of the house is talking about a possible way to avoid a government shutdown according to the newspaper The Hill. Speaker Kevin McCarthy said last night the GOP controlled house would probably be able to pass a clean continuing resolution, but no aid for Ukraine included. The Senate is considering a bipartisan CR that includes more than six billion dollars in aid for Ukraine as well as six billion dollars in disaster relief. Short of any last -minute solution though, there's a widespread consensus in Congress now a government shutdown will happen at 1201 a .m. Sunday morning. Lawmakers are hearing about from it their worried constituents. WTOP's Mitchell Miller has today on The Hill. Members of Congress from Virginia, Maryland and D .C. are hearing from people they represent. While some conservatives have downplayed the potential impact of a shutdown, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine says concerns are real. He recently read from letters and emails he's received, including from Mary, a woman who says her husband is overseas. It's a huge problem for my family to go without pay for an unknown period of time. I have a son with a chronic illness whose medications are very expensive. This could impact our ability to purchase his medications. Kaine has pointed out that a shutdown could cause hardships for thousands of people the in Commonwealth, which has one of the highest concentrations of federal workers and military personnel. On Capitol Hill, Mitchell Miller, WTOP news. Well, hundreds of thousands of federal employees would go without checks if a government shutdown takes place, but many of them would be needing to

A highlight from ROLLUP: Coinbase Crashes DC | Gary Grilled By Congress | Vitalik Deepfakes
"Miss Wagner is like, yo, MIT version of Gary was pro -blockchain, but SEC Gary is anti -blockchain. And then Richie Torres is like, yo, it's a Pokemon card of security? These people are listening to crypto Twitter. They are like, these are our things. The power of crypto Twitter is like getting into Congress. Well, it's because it's distilled logic. I mean, Bankless Nation, it is the last Friday of September. David, what time is it? It's the Bankless Friday Weekly Rollup Ryan where we cover the entire weekly news in crypto, which is always an ambitious endeavor, yet we persevere nonetheless into the frontier this week with a bunch of clips of Gary getting grilled. So everyone, everyone prepare for that one. If you're not listening to this with coffee, because it's too late in the day, well then you should get your popcorn, because that is what you will need. I mean, this is a catharsis, I think, for many of you in this episode. You'll enjoy this very much. Also, crypto was present in Washington this week. Yeah, Coinbase's stand with crypto day was held at Capitol Hill the same day that Gensler was giving testimony in front of Congress. Convenient. What about the timing of that? David, what else we got? After that, we'll talk about pudgy penguins in Walmart landing a huge deal, a ton of distribution for pudgy penguins, also with each toy purchase having an on -chain identity on ZKSync. So we'll talk about that. And then after, also not only are penguins getting identity, but citizens of Buenos Aires perhaps also getting some on -chain presence as well. We'll talk about that. And then, of course, we're going to do the PSA of deepfakes and phishing attacks that are out there. We got a Vitalik deepfake that we want to show you. It's pretty hilarious, but not if you believe it. Notable VC Fred Wilson got phished for 40 NFTs this week. So if Fred Wilson can get phished, so can you. We will talk about this and more. What else we got, Ryan? You know, the usual Bitcoin ETF stuff. ETH might be getting futures. There's a ton to talk about every week. This is a bullish week, I think. I'm declaring it such, David. It is a bullish week. And we got some green candles when we get to the markets. But before we get in, David, we got a message from our friends and sponsors over at Layer Zero. What do they want the folks at home to know? They want you to know that after a year, over a year of combined effort, Layer Zero and Google Cloud have announced their partnership, and they are ready to build the interoperable cross -chain apps of the future. What is Layer Zero? Of course, Layer Zero is a set of smart contracts that are deployed on every single chain. These smart contracts connect to each other. How do they connect to each other? Well, they need some Oracle service in the center to be the chatterboxes, the passing messages between all of the Layer Zero smart contracts across all of the 50 different chains. Google Cloud is that new default Oracle. That is the partnership that they have created. So there is a link in the show notes for you to go explore more if you're a builder who wants to build on Layer Zero. LayerZero .network is also the URL. Well, you know what I want to learn more about this week, David, is markets. Tell me about the old markets. I think, I think, I haven't looked at this yet, but I think we got some green on the week. We got some green, dude. Let's look at the Bitcoin charts first. What's Bitcoin showing us? Some single digit green. Look at that green right on the right. That's your dose of dopamine for this week. It's like, whoo, Bitcoin up 2%, whopping 2%. Started the week at 26 ,600, ending the week at, well, Thursday morning, if you call it the end of the week. It's not the end of the week. 27 ,150, up 2%. Ether price up a little bit more, starting the week at 1660, up 4 .5 % to the current price, excuse me, starting the week at 1560, ending the week at right around 1660, where we are right now. 1660. I mean, it's still low. That is a low price. We are getting excited about very little right now. Yeah. It's up such a small degree, you shouldn't even be excited about this. And yet we are. Yeah, we are. 4 .5 % on the week, I'll tell you. It's better than flat. When's the last time we had a double digit week, man? Double digit up or down? Up. I can't remember either, actually. We've been in the flatlands for so long. It's just like kind of a little bit of a bleed out all the way from 1900. Weren't we over 2000 a few weeks ago? Yeah, we have touched over 2000 in this bear market, but man, it certainly doesn't feel like it. Last time we were at 2K was July. In July, briefly. We weren't at 2K. Yeah, I can't remember July. Well, I was in the mountains. It's been downhill ever since I caught back for the mountains. Yeah, it really was. It's been all downhill since you guys. The only thing you can do, David, is go to the mountains. Bad things happen to Gary Gensler when you go to the mountains. Although, I guess nothing bad happened to him this week. Anyway, I'm skipping too far ahead. We'll have our Gary later in the episode. ETH, Bitcoin, up 2%. Total crypto market cap, $1 .11 trillion. Layer 2 scaling factor, touched 6 % this week, down to 5 .5%. Still at all -time highs. Layer 0. Wait, what touched 6 %? Excuse me, not 6%. Total value loss? 6x. 6x is what I meant. Oh, activity. That's what you like to look at. Yes, layer 2 activity touched 6x of Ethereum, but now it's at 5 .69. Nice. 60 transactions per second, 64 transactions per second. Yeah, that's where we get the 6x. We got more transactions per second left in this tank, I think. Oh, yeah. David, you want to talk about the general markets, like all the TradFi markets? You want to talk about macro really quick, because it's been super confusing to me. It's been super confusing. And then I read this tweet. We're also doing a macro show on Tuesday as well. So a macro show, so talking about the state of macro from a crypto person, so it's a crypto person who understands macro, so I'm really excited for that show. Are you a crypto person that understands macro, David? Do you understand macro? When I have a smarter macro person with me, then yes, I understand macro. My question to you is, does anybody really understand macro, particularly right now? Oh, you mean current snapshot? Definitely not. Yeah, all right. So here's the tweet. Current situation. One, stocks are falling like a recession is coming. Two, oil prices are rising like there's no recession in sight. That's contradictory. Three, interest rates are rising like we have 10 % inflation. Yes, they are. Four, gold is falling like inflation is gone. Five, housing prices are rising like rates are falling. And six, commercial real estate is falling like it's 2008. Nothing adds up here. That's the way I feel about macro right now. It's very confusing. There is a confusing set of signals going on, and it's not adding up in my head. What do you think about this? Yeah, they follow through, and they say it's beginning to feel like a pivot point in sentiment. I don't know if I'm about to say what I think they are meaning by this, but when there's a bunch of confusion, people, I think, brace for something, brace for clarity, and then whatever that clarity is will define sentiment. Where are we going? We don't know. As soon as we find out, we'll know how we feel about it. But we know it's going to be different from here. Different good or different bad? Those are the only two directions. Yeah, I guess that's the reductive take about it. But it's basically like we don't really know. That's why I'm very interested in doing this macro episode next week to see what the newest macro person kind of knows. I will say one thing, though. I think volatility is back on the menu. I think that's what this means. Because when the market doesn't know what direction it's going to go in, then it can kind of lurch in one direction or the other. So weird macro climate right now. On the back of stimulus, on the back of money printing, like what's going on here? And just to be clear about something, we've previously talked about stocks being at all time highs. That's been kind of the theme of the last two months, I would say. Well, so from looking at the SPY, you don't have the chart up, but it has declined by 7 % since July. So the SPY is down 7%, which is more. That goes to the first bullet point. Stocks are falling like a recession is coming up. I don't know. It's down 7%, just doesn't feel like a lot to me. Well, in the trade market, 7 % is a lot historically, but not recently. 7 % in the trade market is actually, that's just like, trade markets are also volatile. OK, well, we'll try to make sense of this, but let's get back to crypto. This is a negative report from JP Morgan, who said, Ethereum's activity post -Shanghai that was the last hard fork back in March, has been disappointing. JP Morgan calling Ethereum's progress disappointing. They've got some reasons for this. While the shift from proof of work to proof of stake meant that the energy consumption from Ethereum collapsed by 99%, the Ethereum supply is shrinking and staking rose sharply by 50 % since the Shanghai upgrade. While that happened, the increase in network activity has been rather disappointing. Ethereum's daily transactions, daily active addresses, and total value locked on DeFi protocols on the network have all experienced declines since the last hard fork. So JP Morgan, their analysts expressing some bearishness here over the last six months or so. Yes. I'm not mad, just disappointed with that activity. My response to that is, who the hell are you? JP Morgan doesn't know how to analyze these things. Well, I don't know. Ethereum post -Shanghai activity, it's just the broader crypto downturn. And also, they're just wrong, JP Morgan, he is wrong. They say layer twos have displayed mixed results. Well, no, TVL and economic activity on layer twos across the board are all up. I don't know where the hell they're getting their data from, but not only is their data wrong, but their analysis is poor. Well, let's go to the actual numbers, Stephen. Layer two beat provides a good source for value locked on layer twos. What are we looking at? At the 180 -day time frame, it's basically flat. It's marginally up, it's basically flat. It's a flat TVL, $10 .5 billion. Activity is up, it's up so much. It's unequivocally up by a lot. I'm disappointed in JP Morgan. Wow. Have you ever been not disappointed with JP Morgan, David? I'm generally disappointed by banking in general. Really? You should start a podcast called Bankless, David, about escaping your bank over time, slowly. I think Vance Spencer put that tweet in perspective as well. Actually, I don't think he was responding to that tweet in particular. But we are. We got some perspective here from Vance Spencer. This is Ethereum, if you chart it against some of the fastest growing tech companies in human history, companies like Alphabet was Google, of course, and Meta or Zoom or Microsoft, and how quickly, over time, it took them to surpass $10 billion in revenue. How long did it take them? It took Ethereum seven years. When charted against these other tech companies, there's only one that did that faster, and that is Google. Yeah. Ethereum really did all of its $10 billion of revenue inside of 2020 to 2023. I mean, so look at this line. It's just kind of like a slope line up. So I mean, doing pretty well, all things considered, JP Morgan. Not disappointing. I'm not disappointed by this. And I'm not disappointed. Also, long -term perspective, not disappointed in the price of ETH over the last seven years either. And we can keep going. Uniswap this week hit 300 million in swaps. 300 unique million trades, swaps, has happened on Uniswap. Uniswap was invented in 2019. 300 million swaps since 2019. Is that disappointing? Is that disappointing? I'm not disappointed by that in the slightest. I feel great about that. Maintain my disappointment about JP Morgan. You know, I think it's part of a broader crypto sentiment, and I've seen a lot of takes just in general in news, but even in financial analyst news like JP Morgan research, that sort of thing. It comes back down to this, David. Mainstream thinks that crypto is dead, again, like always. This always happens. And this is what makes this a buying opportunity, as with previous cycles. And when crypto 10x's the next cycle, don't let anybody tell you you didn't earn it. Because if you're buying here, when everyone is saying crypto is dead, it's never coming back. That they're disappointed. That's how you earn. It's so easy. The signals are just being laid at our feet right now. They really are. I tweeted something like that out, and somebody responded with this life cycle. What are we looking at here? Yeah, just like the cycle of the bull bear market. So in the top of the bull market, some crypto friend of you will tell you, a bankless listener, you're so lucky. I wish that I bought two. And then the crypto market will go down and be like, you're an idiot. I told you crypto was a scam. Yeah, so especially when they say the words disappointing, it's such an emotional word. It's kind of just playing into the readership. I don't know if JP Morgan is about that game. I mean, we're in the stage of the cycle where everyone thinks you're an idiot. And they told you it was a scam. And you can't talk about crypto at your family events or parties because you're just the crypto moron who knows nothing. And ha, ha, ha, SPF, FTX, that's so stupid. Scams, frauds, NFTs are such a joke. Well, granted, some of those things are actually true. Sure, sure. But if you're still in crypto and you know why you're here. And you're no longer buying the scams because you can identify them. And then you'll swing back to like, I am a genius. I am amazing. I am lucky. Or third parties will say you're lucky when that happens and you'll feel like a genius. You've been chewing glass for three years, but you know, you got lucky, though. You got lucky. How about the Bitcoin ETF, David? Here's a tweet from James Seyfert. What's this about? He just says that the SEC has come out super early and delayed the ARK Invest and 21 shares Bitcoin ETF filing. There wasn't a decision due until November 11th. And typically up until recently, the SEC has always gone up right up until the buzzer. But they decided to delay their decision on this earlier than usual. You know why? Partially? It's some speculation. It's because the government's about to shut down. The U .S. government's about to shut down. That's on Monday, right? On Monday? Yeah. So apparently if by Sunday night, this Sunday night, Congress doesn't reach some sort of compromise resolution, whatever agreement to keep the government running, then it shuts down yet again. I mean, how many times have we been through this? And so this is the SEC just getting ahead of that so that the stuff doesn't expire while the government shut down. And I guess, I don't know what would happen if the government shut down and these deadlines were missed. But maybe they would de facto be approved. I think that could be how it works. Is this some sort of pseudo oracle about how the SEC thinks that if we do go for a shutdown, we'll get shut down all the way until at least November 11th? I have no idea. I have no idea what this could mean. I do know this is good news. So Congress, both Democrats and Republican lawmakers, sent a letter to Gary Gensler pleading that he approve a spot Bitcoin ETF.

A highlight from SEC GARY GENSLER HEARING & SUBPOENA SOON? COINBASE CRYPTO ADVOCACY WITH NANCY PELOSI!
"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 5 star rating and review. It supports the podcast and it doesn't cost you anything. Well, folks, as you all may know, Gary Gensler testified before the House Financial Services Committee today. He got grilled. He got a lot of pressure questions and things that he was shaking and unable to answer. It's the same old nonsense. And I'm sure many of you saw the clips, so I'm not going to play a whole bunch of clips for you, but I'm going to give you the big takeaways. What can we expect next? And McHenry, Patrick out of the gate, started grilling Gary Gensler. He asked him, is Bitcoin a security? And Gary was like stumbling, like he couldn't even answer it. And of course, you know, Patrick McHenry was like, what are you doing, man? I'm giving you softball questions. You can't answer me. Is Bitcoin a security? So Gary Gensler continued his clown show. This guy's a scumbag regulator, as I've been saying for a long time, and needs to be fired. But the big takeaway from what Patrick McHenry said, folks, he threatened Gary Gensler and said, don't make me have to send a subpoena. And he highlighted that Gary has not sent documents about FTX. He highlighted Gary's losses in court and much more. So I think the next step, you know, I haven't seen this level of threat about a subpoena from these folks. So I think we're getting there, folks. And I'm actually going to be interviewing Congressman Warren Davidson, who also did a great job grilling Gary tomorrow. And he's going to I'm going to ask him about the subpoena and what are the next steps. And of course, he highlighted his SEC Stabilization Act, which essentially fires Gary Gensler and replaces that chair seat, adds another commissioner and an executive director. So it makes the SEC less political and more balanced. And he has some great questions to Gary. You know, he even alluded to the EITH Ethereum free pass. Some of you may have seen the clip. So he did a great job. And once again, I'm interviewing him tomorrow. So be sure you're subscribed on the podcast as well as the YouTube channel. And Tom Emmer also brought some heat on Gary Gensler saying, I'm convinced you are not an impartial regulator. And he went on and did a press conference about this. And Gary Gensler is a bureaucrat who does not answer to Congress and much more. So, you know, similar types of comments that we've seen historically. But I think the subpoena threat was the big takeaway for me. The other stuff was, you could argue, was said historically and said before and other hearings with Gary Gensler. Now, Democrat Richie Torres did a great job of talking to Gary and getting specific, like he highlighted, is buying a Pokemon card a security? Gary said no. So he said, well, what if that Pokemon card got tokenized on the blockchain? It's a den of security. And that's where Gary was going back and forth and saying he needs more details and yada, yada. But great questions by Representative Richie Torres, very laser targeted in detail where Gary is just like caught off guard and he's trying to dodge the questions. So Gary continues to get exposed. And I like what happened today. I think the clips and all the news that are coming out of it, while they may not be very much actionable, where Gary is getting kicked out tomorrow, right? They do paint Gary Gensler in a very bad light. And remember, I've said many times, a lot of politics is simply optics. And if you have bipartisan support against Gary Gensler, that's not good. He's not going to be in that seat for very long. So it's great to see Democrats coming out against Gary Gensler. Now, quick word from our sponsor folks, and that is Uphold, which makes crypto investing easy. I've been a user of Uphold since twenty eighteen. They have ten plus million users, two hundred and fifty plus crypto currencies, and they're available in one hundred and fifty countries. You can also trade precious metals and equities on Uphold. If you'd like to learn more, please visit the link in the description. Also, a great comment from Representative Andy Barr to Gary Gensler on capital markets. He said, if the U .S. capital markets are a gold medalist, you are the Tonya Harding of securities regulation because you are kneecapping the United States capital markets with the avalanche of red tape coming out of your commission. Wow. That is a pretty strong remark there. Many of you know about the Tonya Harding story. If you don't look it up, Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harden and someone who was sitting behind Gary Gensler started flashing the Coinbase stand with crypto NFT shield. Many of you have seen that. And someone also highlighted the stand with crypto logo on a piece of paper. So this is similar to what happened with the guy who did the buy Bitcoin behind Janet Yellen years ago. So they put this right behind Gary. So it's pretty funny. This is another one that's going to go in the record books. And on that note, the SEC did acknowledge that the 1 .5 trillion dollar asset manager, Franklin Templeton, spot Bitcoin ETF application. Now, that doesn't mean anything because we need an approval. But things are moving ahead for these new applicants. Now, as all this was happening, guess who was in D .C.? Brian Armstrong and the Coinbase folks. Pretty incredible. And they did this whole campaign where they're at the Hill and a Brian Armstrong tweet out here at our nation's capital for a stand with crypto day with 40 founders from across the country. It's time for America to join the rest of the G20 and get some clear rules on the books. So great move here by Coinbase because the juxtaposition of what Gary is saying and what a big publicly traded crypto company is doing with a whole bunch of founders in D .C., educating and providing advocacy is really, really great. So I love this. And you hear you see Brian posted some photos, he said a great meeting with Speaker Pelosi. Now, all feelings about Nancy Pelosi aside, this she's a Democrat, folks, and I think this is a very smart move, Brian. Very, very smart move, because today even Maxine Waters was praising Gary Gensler. Oh, he's the knight in shining armor. And Gary, you know, you've been doing your thing, protecting Americans from these crypto scammers. Right. So remember, just like two years ago, she was hugging up FTX saying she loves Sam Beckman Fried, blowing kisses, taking campaign donations from FTX. So she's can be bought and sold right pretty easily. And I really like this. Coinbase is playing chess here while Gary Gensler is getting grilled. I love it, love it, love it. And they took a whole bunch of photos here at the Capitol Hill. So smart move by Brian. Really, really smart move. Now, finally, Kraken sets sight on stock trading. So Kraken, the crypto exchange, they're looking to expand their services. And, you know, this makes sense. If you're ordering already an exchange where you sell crypto, you can easily move to stocks. And then I know some other folks have been looking to tokenize stocks and sell those. So this is a pretty big move. And we're going to see that these crypto exchanges are going to expand to other markets. And with the advent of tokenization, you know, they're going to tokenize a lot of the traditional financial markets and assets and commodities and much more. And allow people to easily get access to them globally, 24 seven trading and much more. So obviously this would put them up against like Robinhood, essentially right where you have stocks and you've got crypto in the mix. So I think it absolutely makes sense. Well, folks, that's the news. Let me know what you think. What did you think about Gary today in the hearing? And once again, I'll be interviewing Congressman Warren Davidson tomorrow. So be sure to check out that interview once it's published on Friday. And I'll talk to you all later.

Kevin McCarthy: Biden Must Address Immigration With the Senate
"Could go to conference and solve that so why am I ask the president sit down because the Senate has not done their job the Senate has not taken up the house work so no the president should step in and do something about otherwise government will shut down just like we're having strikes in Michigan just like we had the five -month strike in California just like we have embassies that are having to be evacuated around the world that's a lack of leadership so show some leadership this is your policies this wasn't a policy that was passed from the House and Senate that opened up this border it was simply your decision and you could do something to change it it would keep government open while we finish the job and hopefully the Senate can get around to appropriation bill that is superb because it happens to be true so they've tried to box him in and he's muscling his way out we're passing appropriations bills and even if we don't get all them passed we're passing them and what's the Senate doing nothing what's Biden doing nothing zero what are they doing about the border they don't even have a proposal on the Senate to fund border security nothing representative Byron Donald's on Capitol Hill today listen to the reporters all the reporters are completely in the back pocket of the of Schumer buying the Democrat Party and their propaganda so the Republicans have to unravel it and let me tell you something they're doing a good job of it cut eight go the Senate bipartisan proposal yeah what do you make of it would you support that if McCarthy brought it to

"With Bloomberg, you get the story behind the story, the story behind the global birth rate, behind your EV battery's environmental impact, behind sand, yeah, sand, you get context, and context changes everything. Go to Bloomberg .com to get context. So I mean, why disappoint so many school -aged children? Always the best time with Rick Davis and Jeanne Shanzano, even in times like these. Our two of Sound On starts right now. Bloomberg Sound On, politics, policy, and perspective, from DC's top names. Federal spending combined with too -laxed monetary policy has produced this 40 -year hot inflation. China policy is driven basically by domestic politics. American families are finding themselves further behind the eight ball. To get anything done in this Congress, it's going to have to be done in a bipartisan way. Bloomberg Sound On with Joe Matthew and Kaylee Lines on Bloomberg Radio. The government shutdown appears unavoidable at this point. So who should we pay? Welcome to our two of Sound On as the Biden administration considers spending options now. In the case of a full shutdown as soon as this weekend, it might be unavoidable. And we'll have the latest on negotiations from Capitol Hill. And we'll discuss the fallout with Michael Linden, former executive director of the Office of Management and Budget in the Biden White House, the man who would have had to make those decisions this weekend.

Tech Path Crypto
A highlight from 1262. Anti-CBDC Bill Vote! | 27 to 20 Stablecoins vs CBDCs
"You do not want to miss this one, we're going to be breaking down the CBDC vote that happened yesterday in DC. Also taking a look at a number of clips that'll give you some alignment as to what the future of CBDCs here in the United States might look like. We're going to break all that down for you. It's going to be a good one. My name is Paul Bearer, welcome back into Tech Path. Before we get started, I want to thank our sponsor, that's Tangem. And this is all about self -custody. When you think about CBDCs, you got to think about self -custody. Check out tangem .com, you can learn a little bit more about their wallet. They do slim as a bank card, secure as a bank vault, store, buy, earn, transfer, and swap thousands of coins and tokens. If you want to use their card, you can do so with two different types. You can get the classic wallet, or you can get this new Tangem wallet that is a new type of card that's going to give you optional seed phrases. You can order these in three -card packs, so it's very easy. I would suggest doing that, spend a little bit extra for that. Use our discount code to help kind of soften the blow there. But it's a great value, check it out, we'll leave a link down below, it does help the channel out. Let's get into a couple of the things that happened yesterday. The two I want to focus on are these right here. The Power of the Mint Act, and then also the CBDC Anti -Surveillance State Act. These were the two that were focused on primarily. And I want to go to an intro clip real quick to give you kind of a framework of how this all started there in D .C. Listen in. Today we'll consider a slate of legislation to bolster our national security, protect Americans' financial privacy, and shield our financial system from the risks associated with the potential central bank digital currency, or CBDC. Unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies, a central bank digital currency is a digital form of sovereign currency that is designed and issued by a government and transacts on a digital ledger that is controlled by that government. If not designed to emulate cash, could give the federal government the ability to surveil and restrict Americans' transactions. This is not just alarming, it's downright un -American. We've already seen examples of governments weaponizing their financial system against their citizens in China. We need to counter China by being the best version of ourselves. This bill expresses that sentiment that, yes, we're going to innovate and we're going to lead on blockchain and we're going to lead on digital assets, but we're going to do so the American way. And the way we do that is decentralized. We don't do this by centralizing it in a central bank. We can achieve the innovation potential of blockchain and the immediacy of payments and the frictionless payments future with what we did in July. And that is to create a regulatory framework for stablecoin. All right, so there's some fire in the belly of the lawmakers. I like what I'm hearing so far. This sounds pretty good. But we get into more. And remember, there's always a bad guy. So let's go, maybe girl, we'll go to the next clip with Maxine Waters. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Unfortunately, Republicans are marking up one bill that is not bipartisan. We do know that 130 countries around the world are racing to develop and implement a CBDC. What will happen if CBDCs issued by other central banks gain traction as a preferred method of payment in international trade transactions? Are we comfortable allowing the Chinese yuan or currencies from other countries to overtake the U .S. dollar as a principal global reserve currency? Republicans are making baseless attacks against the CBDC that does not even exist. So with that, I yield back the balance of my time. All right, so Maxine in rare form, I shouldn't say rare, normal form with her. She's, of course, for the idea of CBDCs. The other thing, a lot of what she said could be applied to stablecoins. And what we're seeing around the world, this is the first time I think we are chasing other governments who are actually trying to suppress their citizens. I would kind of be in a position or the camp of not going that direction. I like what I'm hearing so far. But let's go into our next clip. This is going to be Mr. Sherman listening. And allowing the Federal Reserve to continue doing what they're doing, literally recruiting and hiring people in the San Francisco Fed office to build a central bank digital currency is the financial equivalent of allowing the empire from Star Wars to build the Death Star so long as they promise not to turn it on. I'm struck by the hypocrisy of the advocates of cryptocurrency. They come in and they say cryptocurrency is wonderful because it's digital and it's high tech and it's innovative. And then they propose a bill which, in the words of the ranking member, is an anti -innovation bill. And they describe the U .S. government as Darth Vader. They describe any attempt to enforce American laws as the action of Darth Vader in the empire. As Sam Bankman -Fried has demonstrated, crypto is perfect for hiding from your creditors. And while his body may be in jail, his money cannot be found. I yield back. General McNeil's back. Thank you. I just have some, you know, obviously I'm opposed to this bill, but I just want to know what I'm arguing against. All right. You can't make this stuff. What am I going against? I don't even know what I'm going against. All right. Well, the point is, is that Sherman's usually in that kind of position. Anti -innovation. I thought that was a rare little piece right there. Both these guys are going to go against anything that I think the Republicans or even to a certain extent, the bipartisan Capitol Hill lawmakers will go when it comes to crypto or anything that is even related to blockchain. Let's get into our next clip. This goes into a little bit more about the unbanked. Listen in. And the idea that this is somehow going to help the unbanked is insane. Because when you ask the unbanked, why are you unbanked? A lot of it is because of surveillance capitalism. A permissionless system would be something more similar to Bitcoin. You could digitize it. And frankly, that's why a lot of people have been drawn in the unbanked and underbanked community to crypto currencies like Bitcoin. I think one of the speakers for this bill said that people aren't banked because they oppose the quote surveillance state. People aren't banked because they don't have any money. It's amazing. The people who aren't banked are the people who don't have any money. I'd be willing to support this bill if it also ended crypto. Well, that's an interesting statement there. When you go to the FDIC site, this is the 2021 FDIC national survey of unbanked and underbanked households. Look at some of the data here on this. An estimated four and a half percent of U .S. household, approximately 5 .9 million were unbanked. This is 2021. OK, likelihood of this is much greater. Remember, we have a lot of immigrants in our country that in many cases also are coming from countries who they've seen their banking system maybe not work out so well for them. And they are very, very skeptical because of that. Some don't have enough money to meet minimum balance requirements, as cited, but around 21 percent. But most don't trust banks. This was the second most cited main reason for not having an account. Avoiding a bank gives more privacy was the third most cited main reason, 8 .4 percent. Further into the report, this was a piece right here. Who are the unbanked and underbanked breaking this out? Most is distrust of banks, inconvenient locations, high bank account fees, needed products and services are not offered by banks, poor credit history, you know, check system, etc. Typical challenges I think a lot of people in the unbanked sector face. Let's go to our next clip. I think this is a good one right here. This gets into the privacy side of things. I think there's what 2000 stable coins that are out there right now. None of them, none of them protects the security of American citizens privacy. And when an American citizen puts all their information out in the private sector and it's available to 200 different retailers and banks and and other governments, there is no expectation of privacy. That's our problem here. Some of my colleagues gloss over the fact the whole reason they're collecting the data in the first place is the government makes them collect it. Frankly, if you don't agree to spy on your customers, you don't get to operate a bank in the United States. You don't get to operate a money service business in the United States, essentially get permission from the government to act as a financial services institution. So long as you spy on your customers. About million 350 pieces of evidence sitting over at the Treasury on private sector activity, these giant, enormous government databases, which have been hacked, both the IRS and others, Office of Personnel Management and others do present tremendous targeting by bad actors. You know, this is really where it gets into the destruction of personal privacy. And this is the problem that we do face in our society. Some of the countries that are already down this slippery slope, countries like China, as an example, right here, China's central bank digital currency. This is the digital ID to deduct fines instantly from your digital wallet if you're caught for speeding or jaywalking by a surveillance system. So right there, this kind of shows the actual crime of jaywalking now portrayed on basically a bulletin board in front of everyone. And then, of course, automatically deducted. These are the kind of invasion capabilities. Talk about, you know, search and seizure. This is going to be able to break down the walls of search and seizure and do things within our own economies and within our own society that we would never dream of, especially around the Constitution. This is China right here. Super SIM cards now featuring new digital yuan functions is this super SIM card right here. It's going to function as a digital yuan wallet, smart card and I .D. cards as the nation's CBDC pilot continues. So this is going on to phones and will make its way into a position where you can no longer utilize because you have digital wallet. Now your wallet and you're going to be able to use this in a way in which you go to a grocery store, you go to any retailer and you use that as a payment for form. And that's where they can lock it down. And that's exactly what I think these lawmakers are fighting against. Let's go to our next clip. This will continue to show you a little bit more about this slippery slope of privacy. Look at my uncle and my cousin helped me get a cell phone that is linked to a Chinese bank card so that I could buy anything pleasing and I have to pass facial recognition identity verification, which is insane, because all I want to do is just spend my gift card balance on this debit.

AG Garland Refuses to Say If Any FBI Informants Attended Jan. 6
"You're to not going get this anywhere else. I'm pretty sure because I haven't heard it anywhere else. I'm going to explain to you why Derek Farland, our non esteemed attorney general, refuses to give an answer on how many, if any, confidential human sources or FBI agents were there on January 6th. But listen to this first. Check this out. Now on that video, that was your answer to a question to me two years ago, when I said how many agents or assets of the government were present on January 5th and January 6th and agitating in the crowd to go into the Capitol and how many went into the Capitol. answer Can you that now? I don't know the answer to that question. Last time, you don't know how many there were or there were or none. I don't know the answer to either of those questions, if there were any. I don't know how many. Or whether there are any. I think you may have just perjured yourself that you don't know that there were any. You want to say that again, that you don't know that there were any? I have no personal knowledge of this matter. I think what I said the last time. You've had two years to find out. And today, by the way, that was in reference to Ray Epps and yesterday you indicted him. Isn't that a wonderful coincidence on a misdemeanor? Meanwhile, you're sending grandmas to the prison. You're putting people away for 20 years for merely filming. Some people weren't even there yet. You've got the guy on video. He's saying go into the Capitol. He's directing people to the Capitol before the speech ends. He's at the the site of first breach. You've got all the goods on in ten videos and it's an indictment for a misdemeanor? The American public isn't buying it. That was Tom Massey, by the way.

Rep. Massie Asks AG Garland Why Ray Epps Only Received a Misdemeanor
"On a misdemeanor? Meanwhile, you're sending grandmas to prison. You're putting people away for 20 years for merely filming. Some people weren't even there yet. You got the guy on video. He's saying, go into the Capitol. He's directing people to the Capitol before the speech ends. He's at the site of the first breach. You've got all on the goods him, 10 videos. And it's an, and it's an indictment for a misdemeanor. The American public isn't buying I it. yield the balance of my time to Chairman Jordan. May I answer the question? I'm going to ask you one now. We'll let the gentleman. Yeah. Go ahead. In discovery, in the cases that were filed with respect to January 26, the Justice Department prosecutors provided whatever information they had about the question that you're asking. With respect to Mr. Apps, the FBI has said that he was not an employee or informant of the FBI. Mr. Apps has been charged. And there's a proceeding I believe going on today on that subject. The charge is a joke. I yield to the chairman. Cut nine, go. Elon Musk was a Democrat who admittedly supported Biden, but then he became a critic of the administration and exposed the censorship regime. Now, per public reports, the DOJ has opened not one but two investigations of Elon Musk. Mark Zuckerberg, on the other hand, spent $400 million in 2020 tilting the elections secretly for Democrats. No investigations so far. To the American public, these look like mafia tactics. You pay us your money, we look the other way, you get in our way, we punish you. The American public, these tactics are. One hundred percent. While it's more of the same the during hearing, I'm not going to play anymore for you,

Mark Levin: You Can Thank William Barr for David Weiss
"He could be a throwaway. You know, okay, that's not all for US attorney that's what he's thinking. But they have to keep saying that. And yet the man's actions demonstrate that here's the thing. On the one hand, Garland and his troops say we don't report to Biden. We're America's Department of Justice, not for not for the Democrat Party and not for Biden. And yet the media keeps saying, oh, Weiss was a Trump appointee, as if he's doing Trump's bidding. Just damnable and stupid. Thomas Massie, really good with Merrick Garland. Cut eight, go. Now in that video, that was your answer to this question to me two years ago. This is about Ray Epps, the infamous Ray Epps, who was charged with one misdemeanor, despite the fact that everybody sees him on video, encouraging people to charge into the Capitol building. And for some reason, the same Department of Justice, the same group of judges that cabal Washington, in DC, are putting people in prison, in prison for a hell of a lot less. A misdemeanor charge for trespass for Mr. Epps.

Julie Kelly: Making Sense of the J6 Case Against Ray Epps
"To check it out, but only if you want honest journalism you want She's not your gal so Julie you know a lot about this case, and I I'm I kind I of mean that me I know I was being sarcastic in that open, but you know every and every bit of sarcasm is a little element The truth of that makes it. I think a little humorous is I don't know where we are, but Ray apps I mean we were told again that January 6 was the Pearl Harbor of our time We've got a guy you know literally not figuratively on tape talking about we Need to go into the Capitol conservatives like you and I start asking questions like hey You know it wasn't a good idea to Disguised incentivize him to do it and all of a sudden ray apps is a hero in the media, but can you Make any sense to you um it does not but to answer your According to the corporate media and people like Adam Kinzinger who to your point everyone involved Even remotely involved even people who weren't there like Henry gay Tario the ex Of -leader the Proud Boys everyone is an insurrectionist a domestic terrorist. They should be thrown in jail, But the key you know tossed for good except for ray apps, so If you listen to how they portray ray apps he is the victim of right -wing Theorists including us and Tucker Carlson that he just wandered there. He was To trying help police he wasn't instigating anything except and we have all the video evidence to the contrary. You know it was fascinating there's a hearing going on right now House Judiciary Committee and General Merrick Garland is there one of the Democrats is playing this video montage of January 6 and pops who up at the very first exterior breach point ray apps, but we're supposed to believe That he's only guilty
CoinDesk Podcast Network
A highlight from SPECIAL REPORT: THE SBF TRIAL 9-19 Update
"Welcome to the SBF trial, a Coindesk podcast network newsletter bringing you daily insights from inside the courtroom where Sam Bankman -Fried will try to stay out of prison. Follow the Coindesk podcast network to get the audio each morning with content from the Coindesk regulation team and voiced by Wondercraft AI. Sam Bankman -Fried stands accused of committing wire fraud and conspiracy to commit several other types of frauds. His once mighty crypto exchange FTX collapsed in dramatic fashion nearly a year ago shedding billions in value and in two weeks he'll begin his effort to convince a jury of his peers that he didn't commit any of many alleged crimes while running the company. If convicted of even one of the charges Bankman -Fried faces years in a federal prison. If convicted of all of the charges he could well spend decades if not the rest of his life behind bars but there are some nuances here. The maximum prison sentences are just guidelines and like any criminal defendant Bankman -Fried is innocent until proven guilty even if the evidence made public so far seems damning. This discussion itself may be premature given his trial hasn't even begun yet. So how did we get here? Samuel Bankman -Fried who is 31 years old was arrested last December a few short weeks after his empire filed for bankruptcy and ejected the Stanford and Jane Street alum who helmed it. Federal prosecutors in the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York filed an initial indictment bringing 8 charges including wire fraud and conspiring to commit securities fraud, commodities fraud and launder money. They later filed a set of superseding indictments which the defense team led by famed attorneys Mark Cohen and Christian Everdell successfully argued can't be brought at this time due to international extradition treaty obligations. A second trial is tentatively scheduled for next year to address these charges. Over the estimated six -week trial prosecutors will place members of the FTX inner circle including former Alameda research CEO Caroline Ellison, former FTX chief technology officer and co -founder Gary Wang and former FTX engineering director Nishad Singh on the stand to testify against their former colleague, boss and roommate. They'll present information from FTX's systems and balance sheets and share audio recordings over the course of the trial all while the defense tries to poke holes in the case. In the lead -up these teams of attorneys will try to find 10 or 12 jurors out of a selection of hundreds most sympathetic to their case. Once Sam Bankman -Fried's criminal trial begins putting these months of paperwork docket fights behind us his fate will hinge on his jury's opinion. Is the former FTX CEO a crypto criminal or perhaps merely a victim of circumstance? They'll have to decide based on the facts of the case but their ranks haven't been filled quite yet. Right now the lawyers are debating how to determine who can make that decision. The process of jury selection heated up late last week after government lawyers blasted the defense team's proposed questions. A good number of them could influence potential jurors. They argued in a letter to Judge Lewis Kaplan. Some were too prying, others too specific the feds said. A handful are a thinly veiled attempt to advance a defense narrative the government claimed. Many of the questions they took umbrage with shared a common theme. They were about appearances. Sam Bankman -Fried is or was a master of appearances. From the first time this author spotted the sneakers and shorts wearing wild -haired billionaire on a yacht in To his final television interviews preceding his arrest the crypto wunderkind cultivated perceptions. He shuffled between personas that bolstered this image of approachable greatness. Sam was the guy you could trust to get it right even though he couldn't tie his dress shoes. I think it's important for people to think I look crazy the government quoted Sam as saying his crazy playing video games during interviews dressing like a dorm room schlub sleeping on a beanbag chair and oh yeah those disheveled curls made his greatness speaking on Capitol Hill pioneering massive philanthropic endeavors and oh yeah the crypto exchange FTX all the greater. But the government doesn't want to let the defense highlight any of that before the trial begins. They're calling on Judge Kaplan to reject jury questions that probe the righteousness of philanthropic philosophies and campaign finance. Sam's ADHD should be left off the table they say and don't even think about interrogating jurors FTX specific opinions. Real or engineered, Sam's game of perceptions has ended. He'll begin the trial as a well -dressed defendant just like any other. The government doesn't want his old image to dictate who might eventually put him in a khaki jumpsuit.

Go to noblegoldinvestments .com right now. That is noblegoldinvestments .com right now. Hey, everybody. Happy Saturday. Thought Crimes. I joined late to this because I was at our Pastor Summit. But Andrew, Blake, and Jack carry the water for the first part of the episode. Talk about Mitt Romney. Talk about the Virginia Hooker. And then we also talk about Oliver Anthony, who I call a ginger Bernie Sanders with a banjo. Thought Crimes, where we say things that you're not even allowed to think in Western society. This is your warning. I'm just warning you that, yes, there is things in this episode that are not always appropriate for homeschoolers. Email us as always freedom at charliekirk .com and get involved with Turning Point USA at 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 campuses. 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. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's edition, this week's edition of Thought Crime. Are you ready to commit thought crime? Because we've got a lot. Let's go around the horn. I'm not even sure because we got a lot of craziness going on right now. Our gas prices are up almost a full dollar here since last week, almost. And I was in California about a week ago. And I think are you guys hitting about six, almost $6 a gallon right now? Yeah, we are. Yeah, it's about five. How do you do it? I mean, honestly, Santa Barbara is a small town, so we don't drive a whole bunch. We don't feel it as much as probably like, you know, our Los Angeles friends. But I mean, at the end of the day, I mean, California is and actually this, this includes Arizona, Nevada, I believe, Washington and Oregon are considered the same sort of gas island. So they are as it has to do with where the oil comes from. It has to do with where they're getting refined. California has all these special additives and regulations that the refineries, these these benchmarks that refineries need to hit. So it can only come from certain refineries. So it limits the supply even more. It's a whole problem. So Charlie will be here in a little bit. He's at the Pastor Summit right now. He's dealing with some stuff. He's taking care of business on assignment, of course, for Turning Point USA, the faith coalition. But we're here. We're going to hold down the fort until Charlie returns. So shoot us your emails freedom at Charlie kirk .com. Let's get into the first topic here. This one, I think we've all talked about it, but we haven't all mentioned it together. This one, the the revenge or should we say the elegy for Willard Romney? Willard Mitt Romney has announced he's quitting the Senate total rage quit right before the 2024 election. So he's going to serve out the remainder of his term. And of course, as befits his character, he's riding off into the sunset by having the globalists at the Atlantic publish a completely obnoxious passive aggressive interview, trashing his colleagues, trashing Trump, trashing the GOP base. So what is the final word on the GOP 2012 standard bearer, the man who was the nominee for president in 2012? And, Blake, I think you actually have an excerpt from the from this article that's by McKay Coppins in the Atlantic. Oh, well, yeah, exactly, Jack. It's it's amazing. So, of course, he's everything about Romney is, you know, the supposed like, you know, politeness and decorum and all the damage that Trump does to our democracy by being always the last Boy Scout. Yeah, yeah, the last Boy Scout. So naturally, what he does is he announces he's retiring. And then, you know, in perfect timing with it, McKay Coppins has this biography that he's putting out that's, you know, all about Romney and has all these like data points in it. And he's basically just like Romney doing like a drive by shooting on other members of the Republican Party as he leaves. Let's see, like one of the lines from it. This is a summary as Axios summarizes it helpfully for us. Romney shares a unique disgust for senators Josh Hawley of Missouri and Ted Cruz of Texas, who he thought were too smart to believe Trump won the 2020 election. But, quote, put politics above the interests of liberal democracy and the Constitution. And then the even wilder one is for Senator J .D. Vance of Ohio. He says, quote, I don't know that I can disrespect someone more than J .D. Vance. That is a direct quote from Senator Romney describing Senator Vance, who he still has to, you know, share a Senate chamber with for the next year before he actually quits. But, you know, J .D., I mean, can can someone explain what what what is J .D. Vance done in his time in the Senate that's been so ill reputable? It could. Does anyone have what when he went to East Palestine and it seems it seems his crime is that went on there? I'm trying to figure this out. It seems his crime is that, you know, J .D. Vance came out of Ohio. He went to Yale, I believe it was. And then he was in finance and was, you know, and then wrote his memoir, which was very well received. And he's this up and comer on the coast. And then I guess he moved back to Ohio, started doing too many appearances on Tucker Carlson tonight. And like, according to Romney, it was like the transformation was just was just too jarring, like it was too too much of a transformation for for Mr. Romney, who himself has basically transmuted into this like Democrat, I guess. But that doesn't count. This is an interesting this is an interesting take on on all of it. And Andrew, maybe you can give us a sense of it, because what I think that Romney is really upset about here is that he's considering J .D. Vance a class a class traitor. He's calling him a class traitor and saying, look, you're allowed to make money in finance. You're allowed to make go to Yale. You're allowed to go to the great schools. But the one thing and you're certainly allowed to run for the Senate. But the one thing you're not allowed to do is actually go out to the people of your state, listen to the their interests and listen to their issues and then grow and go and try to actually represent them in the United States Senate. This I is think class traitor. I think that's really smart framing, Jack, because at some level, a lot of this is much more about vibe. It's much more about what Mitt Romney thinks is classy versus gross or respectable versus, you know, essentially untoward and beyond the pale. Right. So it's all based on his own little framework of of class structure, of decorum, those sorts of things. So it says here in this, he says he was also highly critical of Senator J .D. Vance, Republican of Ohio, who reinvented his persona to become a Trump acolyte after publishing a bestselling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy about the working class that Romney loved. So Romney loved the book. So at some level, I think it was just like, so I love this book. And how can this kind of become like a Trump bootlicker? Go ahead. Right. So I can there's there and just real quickly, it's kind of like because in the book, J .D. Vance's conclusions, I would say I don't offer this as criticism. I just say it's sort of it's an evolution on J .D. Vance's part because he sort of just says in the book, well, that that sort of that blase classic Republican line of, you know, and everybody just needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I can do it. So can you. And we should cut taxes for big businesses and the one percent pays most of the income tax and that that's kind of it. And then when he went to actually run for office and started really engaging with people politically, that's when he shifted, not socially. Right. But he shifted economically to become more of a populist. Blake, what you're saying? Well, what's so telling in this article is like some of the just a little specific anecdotes that it does pick. And I almost wonder if Coppins is like subtly trolling Romney. Apparently Romney lives by himself and his family in D .C. It mentions let me get let me get the line here. It talks about his his his pad that he lives in. And it says the place had not been Romney's first choice for Washington residents when he was elected in twenty eighteen. He'd had his eye on a newly remodeled condo at the Watergate with glittering views of the Potomac. His wife, Ann, fell in love with the place, but his soon to be staffers and colleagues warned him about the commute, which, by the way, it's like a mile and a half to the Capitol. So he grudgingly chose practicality over luxury and settled for the two point four million dollar townhouse instead. And then, of course, this is not good enough for for Ann. So she never visits him when he's in D .C. So it turns into a gross bachelor pad that has it mentions there's crumbs everywhere.

Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from The Mike and Mark Davis Daily Chat - 09/15/23
"I thought I was having a stroke. I think, is that me talking again? That was the previously on the Mike and Mark segment, because we got through all the important stuff, because there have been some things going on. But then I didn't really get to the part where our plane got hit by something during our sojourn in New York. What did your plane get hit by? What kind of thing hits planes these days? A bird? Bingo! Bird strike. Now, here's the good news. We were not on the plane. So what do you mean, our plane? So we're at DFW, getting ready to board for New York on Thursday afternoon last week. And then the word comes from the gate. It's never a good thing like, flight, we got a special announcement, draw near, light a fire, here we go, we got info. And it was, there would be a delay because on the way in the flight, which usually would turn around in about 45 minutes, yeah, that wasn't going to happen because there was a bird strike on the way in. And it was American. And listen, you've done a lot of travel and I have too, somewhat less, when they tell you the delay is going to be an hour and a half, you know it's going to be five. You know, you may not get out that day. Actually, the delay really wound up being about close to an hour and a half and American actually handled it very, very nicely. I'll tell you what they did, they put us on another plane, which I'm thankful for because I believe that the technicians and the workers would all get in there and make sure there's not, you know, a nest of birds in the turbine engines or so. I mean, but I was glad to be on another plane. But that gets me to question number two for my travel oracle, Mike Gallagher. You're both a travel oracle and a dog lover, right? We all love travel and dogs, correct? At the same time on the list of things we love travel. So it's a fixture now. Everybody's got, and I'm not talking about a support peacock or any of this idiocy, but actual service dogs are a common thing. And I love that when I see somebody, I know they got something going on and it just makes me feel, you know, empathy and love toward one. I sat in front of one yesterday, beautiful dog, well behaved, and a lady with special needs. You could tell she, I think she was with her daughter and that, and it was a big dog, but they were at her feet and just sleeping all through the flight and just as docile and peaceful and beautiful as can be. So here's the question I have, where do they poop? If you've got a service dog and it's like, well, it's going to be four hours. Now, some airports, DFW among them have places, I think, where you can go take the puppy when puppy has to pop a squirt. I mean, I totally get it. Lord knows if I do, it's right there. But what if a Rover has one in the chamber and I mean, we're sorry, your flight is going to be four hours. How in the world? And I've never, now that you mentioned with all the travel I do, I've never, ever heard of any kind of an accident on the plane with a service dog. Well, maybe, maybe they just have doggy bags. Would people have carry doggy bags with them? And they're able to scoop stuff up. You know, I mean, you talk about travel challenges though. My friends, Joey and Peg took three days to get back from New York to South Carolina. This is what they do. Walk. No, it was the flights were canceled because of weather on Sunday. Then they were all sold out on Monday. Then they got back on a plane Tuesday, and then it stormed again on Tuesday. They finally got in a car, tried to drive from New York to South Carolina, made it to Philly, and then were able to get on a flight from Philly into South Carolina. And that's a normal thing, though. When you say an hour and a half, believe me, tell that to Joey Hudson. It took three days. He would have killed to take an hour and a half. One of the last thing, truly last thing, because this ties into technology you talked about yesterday. We were talking about the wonderful story of the electric vehicle caravan that just was destroyed by the facts of life and Jennifer Granholm because they couldn't find a charging station, blah, blah, blah. And you talked about the Tesla experience where the, where your car knows where the charging stations are, knows how many people are at the charging station. And so that put very front of mind the notion of modern technology and how it knows where people are. Surely you've done this. That was my first experience. Again, at DFW, one of these stores, it's run by Amazon. It's called Grab and Fly, which is a very uncomfortable title where you walk, you go bloop, you scan your credit card. Then you go through a turnstile, walk in, buy, pick stuff up and walk out. And it knows what you have and hits your card. And I asked the woman, I said, how does it know that I have a magazine and a bottle of water? It just knows. And it knows where you are. It senses what you have. It senses where you are. It follows, it tells you, it tells you how long you were in the store to the second. I mean, cause, cause I just experienced my first Amazon pop -up store last week in New York. They have one right across from the hotel. You feel like you're shoplifting because you don't even walk out. You don't even have to put it. You don't even have to, or you could just carry it all out under your arms like a shoplifter. Like you're in San Francisco. It's another day in New York city. I mean, you'd walk out and then about five or 10 minutes after you leave the Amazon store, you'll get a note on your, you'll get an email and you'll get a notification on your Amazon app. Okay. You had a 33 ounce bottle of water. You had a bottle of two bag of chips. You have it. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life. I totally love it. I love it until this technology is suddenly turned against us, which could happen at any moment. I'm thinking so. Now, speaking of technology, how much have you done with AI? How much have you done on air about artificial intelligence? Have you talked about it? Okay. In terms of talking about whether the answer is a little in, I can give you a 30 second summation. I'm fascinated by perfect framework because I'm fascinated by it. There are parts of it that are really cool. I think it's making students lazy cause they're getting it to write compositions for them, but you can always tell when AI has done it because it's kind of passionless and unartful. I farted around with a stupid chat GPT thing. I remember I had it write a promo for your show, which was actually pretty good and et cetera, et cetera. But the whole notion of surrendering to artificial brains, all manner of things is a little daunting to me. Now, when you asked me about it as a topic - Well, let me tell you what I'm getting to. When I bring it up - Instead of your dissertation, let me tell you why I'm asking you about it because we got a big problem on our hands. I'm going to tell you right now, and your indifference to it has been my indifference to - I'm not indifferent. No, no, no. I don't mean indifference, but I'm with you. I'm exactly the way you've been. It's like, oh, okay. It's kind of cool. Let me tell you something. It's bad, and they're holding hearings on Capitol Hill, Mark, and let me tell you how it hit us yesterday, a dose of reality that applies to what we do for a living because this is not chat GPT. This is real potential for some serious mayhem and Armageddon. Let me tell you what happened. I'm on the show yesterday, and I can see, I don't know how your setup is in your studio in Dallas, but I can see the incoming calls that Tracy is getting when they call the show. Line four lights up. It's Los Angeles. I see Tracy because we're all on camera in this setup we have, and I can see her eyes get real big. She puts the guy on hold. She says, oh my gosh, it's Bill Maher on line four. I said, Bill Maher? She goes, yeah, and I look up, and she's got Bill Maher on the screen, line four, Los Angeles. I said, it's not Bill Maher. She goes, I'm telling you, I'm talking to him. I know what he sounds like. It's Bill Maher. I say, Eric, talk to the guy. See if it's Bill Maher. And supposedly, he's calling a few select talk shows that he respects to explain why he's bringing his show back to HBO despite the writer's strike. And he is bringing his show back despite the writer's strike. That's a story. Good for him. It's a cool story because he's telling them, you know what? I got people that got to pay the bills. And here we go with 46 % pay raise, and they want to work one less day a week and 90 weeks of vacation. Oh, yeah. Other than that, they're fine. I'm going to take the labor side in a minute, but finish. Oh, please. Well, let's not get distracted with that crap. A little bit. Go ahead. A labor side. Yeah, you take the labor side. I'm going to have some love for the law workers. You go demand, Jeff Mitchell, you want a 46 % pay raise tomorrow. Give me a break. Give me a break. It's not the same thing. Don't be a pro -union. Come on, give me a break. I'm the last person to do that, but those workers were told certain things and had certain things happen and they've been screwed to a degree. But they want a 46 % pay raise. They want a 32 hour work week. They want 40 hour pay for 32 weeks of work, 32 hours of work. They want, give me a break. They're greedy. They might be entitled to something, but they ain't entitled to what they're demanding. Don't take the side. Okay, Richard, Jimmy Hoffa, knock it off. Don't squirrelly on me. Oh, golly. Focus, focus. So Bill Maher. Well, yeah, you tell him good. Be pro labor. Yeah, you'd be pro labor. So anyway, Bill Maher. So I say, Eric, get on the phone. Talk to the guy. Eric has been at this for 25 years. Yes. He is a veteran. He comes back to me, eyes bugged open. He said, Mike, I'm 95 % sure that's Bill Maher. I said the final. It was responsive. He asked it. He asked it questions and he asked the question and the guy answered. Now I say, finally, we see the number on the screen. We have caller ID. I said, what's the, what's the number? We ran it. We run a check on the number. Oh, it's, it's Bill Maher. So the guy, so I'm thinking, I think it's him. So I went on the air with him. Listen to what it sounded like. No. Okay. Listen to what? Well, listen, why not? Bill Maher's calling the show. Because you know, it's fake because I don't know it's fake. Bill flipping Maher is not going to cold call radio stations. He's going to have three, three production assistants call your people and that's how it's going to go. Okay. So listen to the exchange. Listen, listen to the exchange. We're all mystified by this. I'm going to, we're going to probably get burned on this. Uh, I got, and the problem is I got 30 seconds left in this segment. So we're all, we're all taking bets as to whether or not you are really Bill Maher. Is this Bill Maher? Yes, it is Bill Maher. Thanks for letting me come on.

"On the U. S Capitol, including we learned overnight, a Capitol police officer. President Trump's supporters talked openly for weeks about a plan to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden's victory. So why did security at the Capitol seem relatively lax? Johnson served as Secretary of Homeland Security from 2013 to 2017 is with us now. Good morning, sir. Good morning. No. Well, thanks for having me. Of course, This is a notably well documented event. Journalists were there the people rioting took lots of video and selfie is what did you see? Go wrong. Well, where do we begin? I have to say the images. Will be burned into my memory for the rest of my life. To most shocking images were a hangman's noose on the western front of the Capitol Hangman's noose. And the Confederate flag flying on the U. S Capitol. We bought an entire civil war to prevent exactly that. On the security aspect of this. This could have been prevented. It should have been prevented. We know how to secure the perimeter of the U. S Capitol grounds. Four years ago, I had overall responsibility for the security of President Trump's Inauguration. We typically secure the U. S Capitol ground during a state of the Union address by the President, United States. We know how to secure the perimeter around the United Nations. During a session of the U. N. General Assembly with world leaders converging in Manhattan. It is a combination of U. S. Capitol Police Secret Service, D. C. Metro Police T s a Coast guard Homeland security investigation If you properly anticipate Level of security that will be required. Or a an event at the U. S. Capitol, clearly those in charge of security on when they did not anticipate the level of security that would be needed. To safeguard Congress and the vice president in that circumstance. That was the failure. But why do you think they did not? I mean, the president had made a speech and incitement speech, saying head on down, shouldn't At that moment someone have sprung into action and said, We need more people here. Well, I cannot provide you an explanation of the thinking of those in charge, and it does seem clear to me that this could have been prevented. If properly anticipated. You can secure the grounds of the U. S Capitol if you know what to expect and anticipate. Do you think the lack of preparedness could possibly have been the result of something? That is true? Which is this was a historic event. Nothing like this has ever happened at the U. S capitol and so Perhaps the assumption was nothing like this ever could don't don't. Those in positions of authority sometimes make mistakes like that. I don't believe that is an acceptable justification. Okay? I used to tell my people in homeland security. Anticipate the next crisis don't plan for the last crisis. This wasan unprecedented event. Not since the war of 18 12, have we seen rioters rushed the capital like this? We are living in unprecedented times, where you have a sitting president of the United States essentially light the match for what was clearly an act of insurrection. And in those circumstances, security personnel at the U. S. Capitol should have anticipated that thousands of people would rush the capital in this way. If you were still secretary of Homeland Security. Could you tell us who would take the blame for this? Who would bear responsibility? No. Well, I have to say I'm I'm less interested in the blame game. I'm or interested in understanding the thinking of those Who are responsible for this. And what we're going to do for the next 12 days. Through the date of President elect Biden's inauguration to make sure that nothing like this can happen again. Let's talk about that. Let's talk about the next 12 days. Some lawmakers say they want to invoke the 25th amendment to remove the president from office. They say the country is simply not safe. With him as president. What do you think about that? I have a few thoughts on that well first, the 25th amendment requires an act by the Cabinet and the vice president. If the president disagrees with being removed, then it's over to the Congress. And that requires is I read section for the 25th Amendment a two thirds vote in both houses of Congress. I know that many in the house we're talking about. Impeachment. That, of course, would then require a two thirds vote in the Senate to convict No doubt that would be time consuming, and it would require a number of Republicans to vote to convict. The house is going to do with the house is going to do I think that in the meantime, Whoever is still around in the White House who has the ability to influence the personal behavior of President Trump should be telling him to just Basically leave town. Get on Air Force One. Go tomorrow, Lago and stay there for the indefinite future. Empower your chief of staff of power, the vice president to do whatever is necessary to keep the government functioning. For the next 12 days, but basically Just just leave, Encourage him to just leave. Going through the exercise of impeachment would itself be a very, very partisan act. And would Perhaps create an environment. In which the incoming president, President elect Biden would have a harder time trying to bring the country together. I think that has to be consideration for the next 12 days. And it may be the reason why President elect by himself has hesitated calling for that. In the last minute that we have inauguration is less than two weeks away. The same groups that took part in this week's insurrection are talking about messing with security around the inauguration. What should authorities be prepared for? How should they be prepared? Well, this inauguration is gonna have to be unique because of co bid And because of the threat environment, it's gonna have to be unique. We do know how to secure the perimeter of the U. S Capitol grounds. They've already erected barricades yesterday so you can Having inauguration at the U. S. Capitol in this threat environment that I believe provides adequate security.

Now We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great People in law and order. We don't want anybody hurt. It's a very tough period of time. There's never been a time like this. Where Such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us from me from you from our country. How long is this? This was a fraudulent election. But we can't play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You're very special. You've seen what happens. You see the way others air treated that are So bad and so evil. I know how you feel. Go home and go home in peace. Okay. It was a video message that President Trump has just put out. You heard him there saying we love you. He's addressing protesters who have taken over the capital or who are least still inside. Occupying it. He says it is time to go home. So the president trying to reestablish himself in this conversation, telling the protesters to go home, let me bring back in lays Ruskin, Washington correspondent for the Alaska Public Radio Network. I wonder what struck you as you listen to that message is someone who is just evacuated from the U. S. Capitol. Yeah, well, we're still in the Capitol complex, where in an underground room in the different building and I know that there's other journalists that are lost in which house.

"Keep a handle on things along with Capitol police, but the president did say they respond to show strength. We gotta show our strength. He also said, Let's go to the capital. It's important enough that he did not go to the capital, but it looks like a lot of folks who support him did as they showed pictures of his supporters outside the capital with Trump flags. I think I saw a couple don't tread on me Flags, a lot of American flags as well. You know that kind of thing this was you know, outside before the breach happened, and then you know, now there's still There's still a ton of people standing outside on the Capitol steps that you know, don't look like they're in any mood to hurry up and leave. That's right. And it exactly And that shows the amount of people that are not getting into the U. S. Capitol right now, which is against one good sign that they are lined from the You know the East side to the to the West side of the U. S. Capitol. I can't even begin to count the number of people I would say it's in the hundreds, but some have made inside. We understand the shooting victim transported away from the U. S. Capitol. You'd imagine to a local hospital to deal with that after an armed standoff on the House floor around the House chambers, an armed standoff. We saw guns drawn from pictures. We know that one person again transported away from the U. S. Capitol as D. C. Mayor Merial Bowser really tries to gain control in sending in the National Guard begin their questions about Jurisdiction there. The vice president has been moved away for the capital. We don't know his exact whereabouts now President Trump a tweeting saying, Stay peaceful..

"Violence to remember. They are the party of Law and order. Meantime, we're expected to hear sometime this afternoon from President elect Joe Biden on what's happening. In the meantime, let's see what's happening inside the Capitol with wt Opie's Mitchell Miller, who was there, Mitch? What's going on? Well, there is a lot happening inside the capital. It is a situation that is really unprecedented. First of all they breached into the Senate chamber. Keep in mind. This was where the electoral college vote count was taking place with all the senators in connection with this historic day on Lee, Hours after Vice President Mike Pence was in the chair ahead of the chamber, presiding over the chamber, A protester was sitting in that chair just hours later, and they had people climbing up on the walls in the Senate chamber. Ah, lot of Activity there and then here over on the house side where I am, they tried to breach inside of the House chamber. There was a blockade put up by staff. They drew guns at the door and It does not appear anybody was able to get inside the House chamber, which, of course, was also holding vote counts earlier today in connection with this historic day related to the electoral college. Also, there have been people walking in and out of the capital through this statuary hall through the rotunda. These people have been moving all over the place. We have a report that Some people have actually now been taken into custody here on the House side as they've been going around because obviously these people are trespassing. They have no right to be in here right now, even though ironically, on the House side, it is called the People's House. But we have legislative leaders all pleading with people not to do what they're doing right now. The House Minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, has called on people not to do this. He has criticized what's happening right now and then outside on the Perrin. Owner of the capital. Basically, we're just surrounded by thousands of protesters and supporters of President Trump there on the west side of the Capitol along the mall and then on the East side, where the initial breach occurred on the Senate side, they went through the barriers and then got up on the steps, and that is presumably where they somehow Got into the capital. We are locked down here in the capital Staff members. People that are working here is working members of media. The lawmakers were quickly evacuated and you can imagine the concern there. I saw Nancy Pelosi quickly moved across Statuary Hall. This was at some point. It's not clear whether or not the protesters had already gone through there or if she got out there earlier, but at any rate, I think they were all safely moved out. CNN has shown video that indicates that possibly Way these people got into the capital is they basically just broke down a window and started climbing through and then that allowed them to start going all over the place inside the Capitol here now, Obviously, there are dozens of Capitol police here. Normally surrounding the perimeter. There has been law enforcement people called in to try to quell what's going on. Again a very, very tense situation, and I can't stress it enough. This is something that just does not happen here at the U. S Capitol, but it is clearly happening right now. Right? W T o p. NATIONAL. I'm sorry. Capitol Hill correspondent Mitchell Miller. Double DT Opie's Dukie. Ridiculous. Jano covered Capitol Hill for many years and Dick joins us Now live, Dick. We've seen some extraordinary televised images from the capital of guns drawn inside. This is something you've never seen before. Describe what you're able to see right now. An extraordinary moment in United States history here. The televised images really are extraordinary. Both on the west Front of the Capitol and the East Side, the East Plaza. People who think of the capital when you think of the The National Mall and the ceremonial West front. That is largely a ceremonial area. If the building is breached, their that brings you into the basement level of the Capitol building. Into the crypt area, and you'd have to go upstairs three flights to reach the chambers of both the House and the Senate. The other side of the building President Trump's diehard supporters also swarming Of the East Plaza and a crowded on the center staircase that staircase which there's no indication they have breached that area, but that would lead to into the Rotunda and the House chamber nearby and his Mitch reported. There are images From the Senate chamber is showing a demonstrator seated in the office of in the chair of the presiding officer. We should add the D C Mayor Muriel Bowser. Has ordered a citywide curfew. It starts at six o'clock tonight, and we'll extend until six o'clock Thursday morning. The United States Capitol building is in lockdown right now U. S. Capitol police have called for law enforcement reinforcements as a president Trump's diehard supporters have penetrated the U. S Capitol building. The Capitol building in lockdown, and so are nearby office buildings, including the House Cannon Office Building and the Library of Congress.
