A highlight from 98 - Gensler's Backlash, The SBF's Trial Kicks Off & Pudgy Penguins Hit Walmart
"This is an Equity Baits Media podcast. Welcome to the Crypto Curious podcast, proudly brought to you by the Bamboo app. Crypto Curious is your go -to source for all things cryptocurrency whether you're a seasoned pro or new to the world of crypto, we've got you covered. Each week we'll break down the top news stories of the past seven days, giving you the information you need to stay on top of the latest trends and developments. Plus we'll share quick bites of news and insights that you won't want to miss. If you're new to the crypto world, we recommend starting with our early episodes where we break down the basics and give you a solid foundation to understand the crypto world. Join us as we explore the ever evolving world of cryptocurrency and educate ourselves along the way. On today's episode, we'll discuss some recent moves by the SEC and some backlash against Gary Gensler. He's receiving it from all sides of the fence. We're also going to take a look at Sam Bankman -Fried and the trial, which starts this week. My name's Tracey and this week it's Blake and I on the mic as Craig is off attending a wedding. So, hey Blake, how are you going? Very well, Tracey. Good to be back and getting stuck into this week's news. There is always lots of news, but before we do get into the news, Blake, let's have a little look at the market. We don't often go through what's happening in the charts, but let's have a little look at what is going on because we've just finished the month of September, which has historically been a red month. Six out of the last seven years, September's been red and it actually finished green. A lot of the traders are very excited. It finished 4 % up and I've already seen a lot of the memes. October is up -tober, as they call it. There we go. Yeah, because apparently October is one of the better months of crypto. I think six out of the last seven has been green. So what do you think? Are we going to have a good month? What are we in for? It's really hard to say. No one has a crystal ball. I knew you were going to say that. What do you think though? How are you feeling? What's happening out there? Well, you know, if we had an up month in September when it's historically down, you know, it could do the opposite in October. Markets like to do what the opposite to what everyone's expecting. So yeah, we'll see how it plays out. But obviously there's a lot happening in the broader economy at the moment. People are very pessimistic about what's happening, you know, with inflation and specifically in the US, but really everywhere, and how that's affecting the broader economy. But hopefully we're seeing less and less correlation with the crypto market in relation to those items. But I still suspect that I can't fully disconnect. All right, well, we'll see what happens with up -tober at the end of the month. Moving on to our first story. It's been a big news item and colour us shocked, but the SEC has moved again to delay the Spot Bitcoin ETF. This one from BlackRock, Valkyrie and Bitwise. Gary Gensler needs additional proceedings to assess whether to approve or deny the proposed Bitcoin ETF. The process includes public comment and rebuttal periods indicating that the final decision may not be reached for several months, but then not even a few days later, and this happened yesterday, he has continued his filing frenzy and delayed the Bitcoin ETFs for Fidelity, Van Eyck and Wisdom Tree. So basically that's all of them because Ark was a few weeks ago. And the pressure is mounting on Gary himself this week, Blake. We saw him in the press. What happened there? Yeah, that's right Trace. Last week there was a US House lawmakers push on the SEC's chair Gary Gensler to approve the Spot ETF. Now they're kicking the can down the road. I don't actually think this is a bad thing, because if it happens early next year around the time of the halving, I think that's going to be maximum effect on the market. Members of the House of Financial Services Committee wrote a letter to him to take urgent action on the ETF. And you know, he's obviously taking his sweet ass time here. Gary actually faced criticism from lawmakers regarding his crypto regulation approach during this House hearing. He was questioned about his classification of Bitcoin, how that compared to other assets like Pokemon cards, and the approval of the Bitcoin ETFs. Lawmakers also expressed concerns over Gensler's transparency with Congress, especially regarding interactions with crypto exchanges like FTX. He was actually taken to task in so many different ways and he came up really short. I saw a few different videos. It was a bit of a train wreck. And what did you think of this Blake? Yeah, it's really interesting actually, you know, watching Gary dodge questions and be as vague as possible. But I think this example about the Pokemon cards really exemplifies the conversation. So one of the senators or one of the members of the House of Financial Services on the committee asked Gary, you know, are Pokemon card securities when they're traded because they are a collector's item. And of course, Pokemon cards are not securities. They're just collectibles. And then the example was proposed to Gary whether or not if those Pokemon cards were then tokenized and put on the blockchain as an NFT, would it be a security? And Gary said he's not sure. So I think the point here is that is the process of tokenization, does that create a security? And I think we can all agree that it doesn't. But the SEC is being quite coy here to keep their options open in order to suit, you know, potential NFT projects. When, you know, for example, you could take a photo of your foot trace to as an NFT, would that be a security? Yeah, look, it was it was a laughable video, that one. We've actually got a link to it as well, folks. So we'll put that in the show notes below. But they were there's four of those senators and they went really hard at him and he certainly did fumble his way through that, much like the videos from his Senate chat a few months earlier. Interesting to see him squirm, ladies and gentlemen, but there'll be more to come on that one. Moving on to our second story. The trial we have been waiting for starts this week with the jury selection today. Will Sam Bankman -Fried, the man who headed up failed crypto exchange FTX, get the comeuppance he so badly deserved? Get ready because your social feeds will definitely be taken up by all the drama that unfolds Blake over the coming weeks. How long will this take? You know, is he actually going to get done here? What are your thoughts? You know, how long is a piece of string really? I think with these scenarios, whoever has the most resourcing wins. We don't know how much cash Sam has tucked away. He could string this out for years. You know, we've seen other court cases. That long you reckon? Well, we've seen other court cases in the sector be strung out for literally like five, six years. So yeah, it could certainly happen. I think the Mount Gox court case for creditors is still going in 2013. You know, so these things can take time and there's many ways for parties to, to push this out. Yeah. In some information that came out today, Tracy, it looks like Sam won't be able to blame his lawyers for everything that happened. Under an advice of counsel defense, SPF wanted to argue that, you know, he was just taking the advice of his lawyers and was working within the legal bounds of the advice that was provided. So, you know, it's pretty interesting that if he was provided incorrect advice, then Sam will have the opportunity to sue his lawyers. But it looks like that you can't use that. You can't do that now. Oh no. Well, he just can't use that as a defense in court, but that doesn't mean that if he did receive poor legal advice at some point in time, he can't go back and sue those lawyers. Right. Interesting. All right. I'm sure there are many things that are going to come out of that as well. You know, this is, you can't write this thing as well, but just yesterday, some of the F that was taken by the hackers, so 2 ,500 F that was stolen as part of that exchange hack last year was moved yesterday. Oh, really? Yeah. So part of that was moved through two different protocols. One of them was the Thorchain router and another one was Railgun, which are private wallets that you can move things through secretly. We still don't know who took that in the hack last year. Yeah. We suspected at the time it could have been an inside job as, you know, the exchange was falling. Someone stole half a thousand Ethereum. Yeah. Yeah. But we still don't know who that was. Another quick one, too, guys, as we wrap this story up, because we are going to be hearing a lot about SPF and FTX. If you do want to catch up, there's a really good two parter out now on BBC Panorama called The Downfall of the Crypto King. And I'll add that in the show notes below. But it just it's a bit of a catch up on exactly what happened with SPF and the FTX exchange. So there's did you know that we are coming up on our 100th episode? I know time flies when you're having fun. And we'd like to invite you to become part of our 100th show and send us an audio question. If you have got something that you'd like to know about a coin, a token or a project you'd like us to cover off in our 100th episode, then send us a voice recording.

Fresh update on "u. s senate" discussed on Bloomberg Daybreak Europe
"Latest the sound on podcast. I talk with Maura Gillespie of Blue Stack Strategies, former advisor to Speaker John Boehner on discord within the House Republican Conference. Well, it does because what Kevin McCarthy did over the weekend like him or not, you know, trust him or not. He got the job done and kept our government open because the government shutdown would have just been handing it to the Democrats to I mean, with every right to be, you know, lamenting what Republicans failed to do was, which is the job that is House of representatives. You have you have to fund the government. And so Kevin McCarthy did what he had to do this weekend and shocked a lot of people, probably myself included, And on then the flip side, so going in with all that momentum and having, you know, the best case scenario. OK, let's work together. Let's put it on the Senate. Matt Gaetz comes in and kind of just throws a bomb and all of it. And now whatever leverage was had is completely gone because this just shows that

as yesterday last week was a 46 and last month a 40 in fear so there you have it how many of you are currently bullish on the king crypto let me know and how many of you are anticipating a low as I'm going to be sharing an analyst predicting a twenty thousand dollar price crash and we'll be breaking down everything in between so let's get it shall we and again welcome to everyone just joining us make sure to say hello in that live chat as this is a live and interactive show and at the end of the show I read everyone's comments out loud so let's break down today's Bitcoin technical analysis Bitcoin just hit six week highs to start off October but some forecasts still see the Bitcoin price returning to twenty thousand in which lo and behold there's a CME futures gap if you didn't know and while up around six percent since the start of last month and now circling twenty seven five Bitcoin is not fooling many with its current price behavior the Bitcoin price strength in the recent weeks has many market participants hoping for a push and even through thirty thousand resistance send it let's go for some there remains every reason to be cautious however in an ex post analysis published October 2nd popular trader crypto bullet reiterated that twenty thousand is still very much on the radar as the Bitcoin price target the latest trip to twenty eight six he argued is now forming the right hand shoulder of a classic head and shoulders chart pattern with the downside logically due to follow if it completes quitting analysts here second half of October should be bearish in my opinion the idea was built on an August roadmap with a short term upside target of twenty eight thousand before reversing towards that twenty thousand target let me know if you agree or disagree with the analysts I disagree I think we are bullish for this October and I think we're more than likely to continue up but it's good to cover all our basis is here now not all reasons headed heeded his warning with fellow popular trader you easy in particular skeptical of the likelihood for this scenario playing out crypto bullet however is far from alone when it comes to fearing that the worst for Bitcoin is over yet and one of crypto quants quick take blog posts on September 28th we had Wetson founder and CEO of crypto trading resource dominando crypto compared bitcoins performance between 2020 and 2022 quitting the analysts here between 2020 and 2022 Bitcoin underwent a notable appreciation region historic highs and capturing global attention however this phase was followed by significant correction that caused the prices to plummet sending crypto back to the lower levels say goodbye to your credit card rewards big -box retailers led by Walmart and Target are pushing for a bill in Congress to take away your hard -earned cash back and travel points to line their pockets Senate bill 1838 would enact harmful credit card routing mandates that would end credit card rewards as we know it if you love your credit card rewards visit hands off my rewards calm and tell them to oppose credit card routing legislation paid for by the electronic payments coalition now we also suggest that should history repeat a sub 20 ,000 level could resurface and an accompanying chart offered a fractal which now has been subject to a repeat quoting him again now in 2023 we are once again witnessing Bitcoin achieving over a hundred percent gains attracting substantial interest from institutional and retail investors nonetheless the market has recently experienced significant volatility and a downward price trend the similarity to the past raises questions about whether we are witnessing a repeat of the 15 ,500 USD if this fractal holds over the next few weeks which could result in a series of FUD and negative news in the crypto space furthermore there's a possibility of a redistribution where the price threatens significant highs but institutional profit -taking forces the price down creating the atmosphere of uncertainty in the market and as reported we also had another analyst rack capital who's demanding that the bulls step up to protect this support in order to avert the long -term retracement now for news as I shared in the intro of the show moving forward all crypto news alerts YouTube videos will have both English and espanol subtitles available and I'm currently working on a dedicated channel dubbed 100 % and espanol so we can serve our Latin community for the Bitcoin daily news let me know if this excites you and if you'll be one tuning in and also as shared here breaking news Stanley drunken Miller known as one of the most successful hedge fund managers on Wall Street who has worked 6 .2 billion he says frankly if the goal bet works then the Bitcoin bet will probably work better how many of you believe that he is probably right let me know your honest thoughts fam in the comments right down below and with that being shared yesterday was a historic day for ethereum futures ETFs launching however they ultimately flopped with less than two million dollars in trading volumes across nine assets so let's break this down and discuss it shall we here we go check it check it check it the rush of excitement that accompanied the launch of nine new ethereum futures ETFs appears to have yielded little in the way of investment dollars in comparison October 2nd nine new ETF products which are designed to track futures contracts tied to the value of the ethereum native currency arrived on the market of these funds only five hold exclusively ether futures while the other four track a mixture of Bitcoin and ether futures contracts quoting Eric Balchunes right here unprecedented day today with multiple ETFs all launching at the same time no clear winner has emerged all of them were pretty average lower than I would have predicted but it's a long run and remember these hold futures ETFs investors much prefer physical to derivatives that's right we much rather prefer spot ETFs because there's nothing but manipulation and price suppression continuously occurring in the futures market all by design hence by the regulators decide not to approve anything spot related but they continue to approve the futures ETFs which blows my mind personally in total all nine ETFs witness less than two million dollars worth of trading volume which is essentially nothing as a midday Eastern Time on the first day of trading the most popular of the futures ETFs products were Valkyrie's Bitcoin strategy ETF which tracks the combo of Bitcoin and ether raking up a total of 880 2 ,000 worth the volume it's worth noting had already been trading as a Bitcoin only futures ETF since October of 2021 but then adjusted its strategy to also include ETH the first day trading volume of ether ETFs paled comparison with that of the pro shares Bitcoin strategy ETF which debuted October of 2021 one month prior to hitting that all -time high and during a roaring market for crypto assets obviously it witnessed more than 1 billion dollars in trading volume on its first day so Wow compare that 1 billion in 24 hours to less than 2 million in 24 hours crazy now Balchune has noted that compared to the regular traditional finance ETF launched the volume witness was actually quite a lot though investors tend to prefer spot ETF products over futures Balchune has explained that all the products were scheduled for launch on the same day as the SEC wanted to prevent any one fund from gaining market domination now what if the SEC decided to do the same thing with the spot ETF approved them all at the same time like whoa meanwhile a range of United States firms jostled for the pole position for the nascent ether futures market ETF firm volatility shares canceled his plans to list a similar product saying that it didn't see the opportunity at the current time well we all know this we're all seeking the spot ETFs those are the game changers and there is probably about a 95 % chance that the BlackRock Bitcoin spot ETF get approved in 2023 I mean 2024 we're in 2023 hopefully right before the having occurs scheduled to be in what is that April of next year roughly six months out as we know it's gonna trigger trillions of dollars cascading into the Bitcoin market and that alongside the Bitcoin having are the two biggest catalyst for 2024 and let's add a third bullish catalyst which is a supply shock as there's currently less than two million Bitcoin sitting on the exchanges and for these ETFs once they get approved for the spot they have to be holding the underlying asset so there's gonna be mass accumulation continuing by the whales not only in this fourth quarter of 2023 but collectively in 2024 as well so let's freaking go and with that being shared now for the Satoshi X saga going on and also I want to share with you Satoshi Nakamoto's secret letter which came from the shadows never shared before I've never read it I'm gonna be reading it in real time with you so let's break this one down shall we members of the crypto community have rallied behind a post on X calling for Elon to remove a profile claiming to be the fabled creator of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto and here's your prescription I know just the pharmacy to get this filled who are you a pharmacy benefit manager a middleman your insurer uses to decide which medicines you can get what you pay and sometimes even which pharmacy you should go to why can't I go to a pharmacy in my neighborhood because I make more money when you go to a pharmacy I own no one should stand between you and your medicine visit ph RMA org slash middlemen to learn more paid for by pharma October 3rd the user posted saying that both the account claiming to be Nakamoto and account with the handle Bitcoin should be removed because they breached the platform's terms of service which says doesn't allow misleading and deceptive identities as predator shared here hey Elon Bitcoin and Satoshi accounts are in breach of your terms of service for using misleading and deceptive identities please remove their checkmarks I guess it could be confusing to people thinking it is an official Bitcoin account and we know there will never be an official Bitcoin account and an official Satoshi account which we all know there will never be an official Satoshi account he says you can't misappropriate someone else's identity without disclosing you are a parody account it is no different than making a fake Tesla or Elon Musk account and I think he makes a great point what are your thoughts chat let me know the true identity of Nakamoto has been subject of discussion and the Bitcoin and crypto community as we know since the inception Satoshi X account is reportedly run by a user named Andy Rowe who was claiming to be posting from a profile back in 2018 and on July of 2018 Rowe said he curates quotes for the Satoshi account as outlined right here the account had been quiet since October 31st of 2018 however October 2nd yesterday the account made a new post saying Bitcoin is a predicate machine and went on to explain that it would explore different aspects of the Bitcoin white paper over the coming months as Satoshi Nakamoto announced here on X now what are your thoughts fam let me know another user call for the accounts to be disabled linking or likening them to how X responded to the account with the handle internet yeah interesting the Bitcoin creators true identity to this day remains a mystery what many people over the years claiming to be the true Satoshi the most prominent of which is fake Toshi Craig right now let's discuss this particular letter which recently surfaced from the shadows allegedly from Satoshi Nakamoto check this out fragments a Satoshi secret identity the genius responsible for the birth of Bitcoin has resurfaced shedding new light on the creation of the world's first crypto this revelation comes in the form of an email and bearing the date August 22nd 2008 we all know the Genesis block was I believe in January of 2009 now the email director to computer scientist way die offers a captivating window in the nascent stages of bitcoins creation a journey that would go out to profoundly alter the contours of the global financial realm this recently unveiled correspondence serves as a valuable historical artifact shedding light on the intellectual exchanges and collaborative efforts that paved the way for the development of Bitcoin by delving into this previously hitting piece of communication from Satoshi to way day we gain invaluable insights into the genesis of the revolutionary crypto a technology that would ultimately disrupt and redefine traditional financial paradigms worldwide so let's discuss it in the email Satoshi expresses profound admiration for way dies be money page indicating a strong connection to dies groundbreaking work in the field of digital currencies Satoshi goes on to reveal his intention to release a comprehensive paper expanding upon dies ideas ultimately culminating in the birth of Bitcoin now let's read the actual letter you can see it's dated here August 22nd 2008 sent at 438 p .m.

Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from Rep. Matt Gaetz plans to oust GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
"Lots of channels. Nothing to watch. Especially if you're searching for the truth. It's time to interrupt your regularly scheduled programs with something actually worth watching. Salem News Channel. Straightforward, unfiltered, with in -depth insight and analysis from the greatest collection of conservative minds. Like Hugh Hewitt, Mike Gallagher, Sebastian Gorka, and more. Find truth. Watch 24 -7 on SNC .TV and on Local Now, Channel 525. This is your source for breaking news and what to make of it all. This is The Mike Gallagher Show. Someone has to convince President Biden that if he runs again, he's going to go down in history as Ruth Bader Biden, the person who doesn't know when to quit. I do intend to file a motion to vacate against Speaker McCarthy this week. The only way he loses his job is if a handful of Republicans join up with the Democratic Party to fire him. That would be a disaster for the future of the Republican Party. Now, from the ReliefFactor .com studios, here's Mike Gallagher. Can everybody sort of cool it with the attacks against Matt Gaetz right now? What is going on? I'm telling you what, nothing upsets establishment Republicans more than disruptors. I suppose that's why they despise Donald Trump. I suspect the same people, many of the same, not all, but many of the same people who are attacking the Freedom Caucus, the Ralph Normans and the Matt Gaetzs and the Marjorie Taylor Greens, the same people who hate them, hate Trump. You know, we all sit around, we talk a good game about fixing Washington and trying to stop the out of control spending and flushing good money down the drain after bad and getting some fiscal responsibility going. But then when somebody tries to do it, we lop their heads off. We want it to be business as usual. Now, let me qualify. If you're not following this, this has been a wild weekend. Matt Gaetz went on TV saying, I'm going to try to lead an insurrection against Kevin McCarthy. We're going to have an ouster of Kevin McCarthy. I'm going to get him out of there. I'm going to get Democrats to side with me. There's all kinds of reporting that he's even offering subpoena power to the Democrats because he really doesn't like Kevin McCarthy. We get it. Kevin McCarthy gets it. Matt Gaetzs has never liked Kevin McCarthy. These guys are going to be butting heads forever. OK, so be it. McCarthy led to the...was able to avert a government shutdown with no funding for Ukraine. I think that's a win. I don't know that it's a win with a capital W, but it's a win. We got through it. With hours to spare. So Matt Gaetzs is livid. I guess he wanted a government shutdown. OK. He's an elected representative. He's representing his constituents in Florida. He can feel the way he wants to feel. And, you know, if he wants to take on Kevin McCarthy, all right, so be it. Might not be a great idea. It seems to me Republicans have some momentum right now, and this threatens that momentum. But having said that, I don't know why people on our side are attacking Gaetzs the way they are. Mark Levin, who I consider a friend, I actually love the guy. I think Mark Levin is one of the smartest guys around. He's calling Matt Gaetzs a traitor. Literally a traitor. Mark Levin posted of Matt Gaetzs, This clown is a Benedict Arnold. He killed a CR slashing spending by 8 % and strengthening border security. Now he plots and schemes with the most radical Marxist Democrats in the House, including AOC and the Progressive Caucus. Reject this demagogue. He is the uni -party leader, and he has no intention of cutting spending or securing the border. Boy, that seems a little harsh, don't you think? I mean, Trump is the ultimate disruptor. And it's going to be fascinating to see what exactly Trump does with all of this. Now he's in New York today trying to ward off this wack job, you know, civil suit against him. And he's sitting in on day one of his trial. But here's what Matt Gaetzs said on CNN over the weekend as a result of Kevin McCarthy heading up an effort to avert a government shutdown. It apparently enraged Congressman Gaetzs, who took to CNN and said this. Speaker McCarthy made an agreement with House conservatives in January. And since then, he has been in brazen, repeated, material breach of that agreement. This agreement that he made with Democrats to really blow past a lot of the spending guardrails we had set up is a last straw. And then overnight, I learned that Kevin McCarthy had a secret deal with Democrats on Ukraine. So as he was baiting Republicans to vote for a continuing resolution without Ukraine money, saying that we were going to jam the Senate on Ukraine, he then turns around and makes a secret deal. Now, I know you and I probably have different views on U .S. involvement in Ukraine. But however you think about that question, it should be subject to open review analysis and not some backroom deal. So a motion to vacate tomorrow? I do intend to file a motion to vacate against Speaker McCarthy this week. I think we need to rip off the Band -Aid. I think we need to move on with new leadership that can be trustworthy. Now, this gets complicated because Speaker McCarthy is going to have to rely on Democrats to come to his rescue. If enough Democrats side with Matt Gaetz, guess what? McCarthy might be out. And you could have an argument, we could have a solid substantive debate about whether that's good or bad for us. You know what's good for us? I don't think there's any dispute. Disruptors. Do you want more of the same? Are you OK with business as usual in Washington, D .C.? Are you satisfied with the way things have been going? With the reckless spending and the over -the -top nonsense like writing Ukraine a blank check. I have to tell you, with the exception of Mark Levin, and I have tremendous respect for him, I don't know what's up with why he would call Matt Gaetz a traitor to his country. Matt Gaetz may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I thought this is a time where we all agreed that we needed some disruption. I thought this was a time when we expect fighters in Washington, not people who are going to play footsie with the Democrats. And most importantly, I don't like, pardon my metaphor here or my imagery, but I don't like hearing people urinate all over the millions of people who are lifting Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene and the other fighters in Congress up. What does that say about what those of us with a platform think of millions of people who want a good old -fashioned street fight in Washington over out -of -control spending and fiscal irresponsibility? I mean, I'm not trying to be wishy -washy on this. Again, I think McCarthy has done a pretty solid job as Speaker of the House. It can't be easy. It's not easy. You've got a lot of warring factions within the GOP, and the problem is the Republicans have some momentum right now. And I don't want to see anything interrupt the momentum heading into November. We've got an important election in Virginia. We've got big things coming. I just, I'm absolutely mystified at the vitriol that a lot of people are demonstrating towards Matt Gaetz. I don't think that's helpful. I don't think that's productive. Can't we disagree respectfully? Because I have a lot of respect for the millions of people, many of whom listen to this show, who believe that disruption is in order. I have a lot of respect for people who appreciate what Matt Gaetz is trying to do. Even if it may be the wrong outcome, even if I might disagree with trying to oust Kevin McCarthy, I don't like the wild -eyed attacks that I'm hearing directed towards these renegades in the House. Because I just think it's very, very disrespectful to millions of people who appreciate what Gaetz is trying to do. Now, do you agree with this or not? We've got a lot of text messages already pouring in on the MyPillow text line as we kick off the first Monday in October. It's October the 2nd, 2023, here in the Relief Factor studios. Here's where people are texting me right now. Here's Pennsylvania. I don't want more of the same. I think Mark Levin is a warmonger. Here's Colorado. I 100 % agree with Mark Levin. Matt Gaetz seems like he's a glory hound who hates McCarthy. He wants to oust Kevin, but he has no plan to replace him. And finally, people are attacking, this is from Ohio, people are attacking Matt Gaetz because he's an idiot. And the people who voted him in are idiots. He just wants to make a name for himself, hoping to be governor of Florida. Well, what do you think? Let's find out. I want to open up the Ph .D. weight loss and nutrition phone number to you. 800 -655 -MIKE, 17 past the hour. Do you understand my point about respectfully disagreeing with what the Freedom Caucus and the others are doing with McCarthy without taking their heads off? Do you agree with me that Matt Gaetz reflects the disruptor status that Donald Trump gave us and why we love Donald Trump? Does that make sense to you or am I missing the boat here? Straighten me out. If you disagree, you go to the top of the line. But however you feel, I want you to join us. Flood the zone here with your phone calls. I want to jam our phone lines with your voice, with your perspective. Again, the Ph .D. weight loss number is 800 -655 -MIKE, 800 -655 -6453. Hope you join us.

Tech Path Crypto
A highlight from 1274. Shutdown Delayed, Uptober Begins | Crypto Market Outlook
"All right, so here we are. It is October, October. You get the message here. We're going to dive into that today and find out if Bitcoin and some of these great crypto assets are actually on the move or we're going to get a correction here. We'll break it all down for you guys today. My name is Paul Bearer and welcome back in to Tech Path. All right, let's jump into it. Before we get started, let's go over to iTrust Capital. If you guys are looking at doing some long -term holding on your crypto assets, one of the ways you can do it is through a crypto IRA. So check it out right here, itrustcapital .com. It's the number one crypto IRA platform in America right now, $7 billion in transactions, 200 ,000 accounts created. Definitely, they are killing it over there. Use our link down below. It's going to give you a $100 funding reward. And of course, we get a little help from iTrust to help you guys continue to see this content for free. So that's one of the ways you can help us out. All right, let's get into a couple of the notes today and really kind of talk about where and what has been happening over the weekend. Obviously, Bitcoin's been up. Most of the top 20 have been up. And for the most part, we've even seen some of the Web3 projects also get some good positive action. So what's causing that? Obviously, the biggest issue was the, I guess, the scenario that played out right now over the weekend where we actually came to an agreement, somewhat of an agreement, to not shut the government down, which is always helpful. Kobe Easey comes in and says, breaking Senate vote approved the short -term funding bill to keep the U .S. government open till November 17th. Not bad, 45 days away. This bill includes $16 billion in disaster funding and keeps the U .S. government open for 45 more days. The U .S. government is seeing a new crisis every month now. What's going to happen in 45? I think that's the big question right now everybody's asking is, do we see maybe the month of October as our correction month? And then we have to kind of go into a realization that we're back to where we started. Love to get you guys' feedback on that. What do you think is going to happen here in the month of October? Drop some comments down below. Make sure and smash the like button because it does help us get into the algorithms and help other people kind of explore what's happening in the market. Let's listen to what Mr. Chuck Schumer had to say about this. Let's play this clip for you guys. It's been a day full of twists and turns, but the American people can breathe a sigh of relief. There will be no government shutdown. Democrats have said from the start that the only solution for avoiding a shutdown is bipartisanship. And we're glad that Speaker McCarthy has finally heeded our message. In the end, more Democrats supported this bill in the House than Republicans, proving bipartisanship was the best answer all along. I want to thank my colleagues here in the Senate, especially our appropriators, yourself, Madam President Susan Collins and Leader McConnell. Our bipartisan work in the Senate set the tone for the bill we're about to pass. Our bipartisanship made this possible and showed the House that they had to act. All right. So you saw a couple of things here with Schumer, and that is the whole scenario around the bipartisan approach. A lot of Dems had to come into play on this. Obviously, the Republicans were the ones that were seemingly holding a lot of this back. Now you even have Gaetz really pushing hard against McCarthy, trying to dispose him as the speaker. There's a lot happening there, and it's going to continue to push forward into next month when all of this has to go right back to the drawing board and redo this. So this could get a little up and down. And especially I'm concerned with November because of the scenarios that we will see in both the jobs numbers, the Q4 will start to play out in the sense that we'll start to see what's happening in the markets itself. And it could be a very bad timing for this to occur again. So hopefully this all gets corrected and playing into it. Let's listen to what Squawk Box had to say about this and the impact it might have on the markets. Listen in. Joining us now is Jared Bernstein. He is the chair of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. And Jared, let's talk about this. We have a deal that nobody really expected we'd see. So we made it through this weekend. But what happens in the next 45 days? Well, first of all, good to see you, Becky. This is good news for the American people in the sense that an unnecessary crisis that would have inflicted pretty deep and wholly unnecessary pain on millions of Americans has been averted. That's good news for over 1 million active duty troops, for over 7 million women and kids who risked lacking nutritional support for travelers because of the reauthorization in this bill of the FAA and disaster relief that was also in this continuing resolution. But it did not have to happen. I think what you just played from the president is, of course, exactly right. He shook hands. He had a deal. In fact, there was a law passed with McCarthy back in in June, in early June at the end of the debt ceiling debate that was designed specifically to avoid this Senate. All right. So, you know, they kind of take doing their victory lap, even though I think it's a little bit premature. But the point is, is that there was a huge economic disaster that was averted. So I think that's the positive news. Obviously, the markets responded in such ways that have helped adjust for that as well. But that's not necessarily all of it. We've also seen some other implications coming across from external resources out there in the markets that have caused a little bit of this movement. I think the question everybody's asking now is, is Bitcoin going to continue higher or are we going to start to see Ethereum start to adjust now? Do we see some of the projects like Solana, Avalanche, etc. start to really fly? We'll break into all of those. So don't miss those. We'll look at some charts for you guys as well. I want to go over to a couple of stories here. Why Bitcoin prices up today? A couple of points that were hit on here. US shut down a version, obviously, and also the ETF launches. Now, that is the opportunity. Because remember, Ethereum ETF launches today. And the other idea around this is that when you look at not only the Bitcoin opportunity for ETFs, by the way, if you're not following our market sentiment indicator, you guys should because we are tracking both the Bitcoin and the ETF, the spot ETF sentiment as a whole. It's interesting to see that sentiment kind of go up and down. But the point that they're hitting on in this article is that October is historically one of Bitcoin's best months and is often called October, named in today's video. Bitcoin's October overall. You can kind of see the rundown right there. That green line right there, as you can kind of see where I'm waving my cursor, almost all green over the years going all the way back to 2013. So not bad. Nearly 43 million worth of shorts were liquidated. That's another scenario that plays into that. And of course, I think when you look at the general move with what Bitcoin had to do, I think this is going to be an interesting week ahead of us. Now, there's a lot more that could be happening this week that could still maintain Bitcoin around the $27K to $28K range. That will be a very, very interesting thing to watch because if Bitcoin starts to edge toward around $28K, this is where it's going to get interesting for the future. All right. A couple of things I want to hit on. Right here is Ben Cowen talking about lucky number seven. First green September for Bitcoin in seven years. That's a good sign. But is it a short -lived sign? That's, I think, is really the scenario that plays into this. Sellers have lost momentum. Buyers are now in charge. Target is near the top of the range right now. If it breaks this range that we've been talking about, which I'll show you the chart here in a second, that Bitcoin has been moving to. If you look at just here on the daily, right there is that little high right there around $25 .73 and a little bit. And then, of course, the red candle started to point its way down on the hourly on Bitcoin's move over the last $24. So interesting moves for sure. How are you guys playing this? Is this a zone? Because this has been up and down on the sentiment charts for us. We still see sentiment somewhat waffling with Bitcoin. Not necessarily as much with Ethereum, but definitely with Bitcoin. But the real question is can we hold around this $28K mark, which is where we're hovering right about now. All right. Other things. China's central bank continues to stimulate. So reverse repo injections now at levels not seen since 2020. This is another factor that plays into it. China is starting to inject liquidity. This, of course, causes movements in the markets. It also causes some ripples in the markets as well, because I think China is going to be one that we have to continue to be cautious about in the sense of awareness of what's happening in China, both from a real estate standpoint, but also just from their GDP and their economic growth. Those are the other things that play into this. A couple of reports from Chain Analysis that are kind of interesting here. I thought this would be larger, and it's not. But right now, eastern Asia, fifth most active crypto market accounting for 8 .8 % of global crypto activity. And this is July 22 through June 23. So it kind of gives you a little bit of insight to that. Point is that you do have a significant amount of the market that is in control. Remember, the United States still has a large percentage of what is happening around the world in crypto markets, ironically, without legislation. Can you imagine what is going to happen with legislation and institutional adoption really kind of playing forward? That's where it's going to get super. I think that's when we're going to start to see some big market moves overall.
Bloomberg Daybreak Asia
Fresh update on "u. s senate" discussed on Bloomberg Daybreak Asia
"Because your question doesn't hold true to history. When Donald Trump was president, we did tax reform. You can look at all of our different successes. You may dislike the policy, but we've been very successful. You watched the Abraham Accords. I mean, you can go victory after victory. The price of gas, we were energy independent at the time. We had more businesses growing at the time. We didn't have to evacuate our embassies. It's easy on its merit to see the difference of what Biden has destroyed America to we were able to create. Yes, sir. Okay, can I ask you what about your conversation with this moving chair, please? What do you ask? No, we didn't ask for anything. No, no, no, no. And you know, I have a lot of respect for Joaquin. He wants to win the majority. I heard what they asked. Why would they vote for me if I've won every time as leader. I raised 70 % of all the money. It's an opportunity for the real question to the eight. Why would you enable and allow the Democrats to do it? That's the question, yes. What questions did I make? Well, you could have leaned toward the Democrats to give them the possibility. To what? Look, I'm not going to, no. I'm a Republican. I win by Republicans and I lose by Republicans. It's not that way. I believe you work should across the aisle. I worked across the aisle. Do I want to make the bill the most conservative possible? Yes, that's the goal. It's difficult when you can't get 218 for the conservative bill and then they want to challenge you when you went and solved and kept the government open. The last few months you've been a fireball We did pretty well, didn't we? How big of a risk do you think a shutdown in November without you as leader? Other people can do the job. You know, it's interesting. I've never received so many texts from so many senators about how big a play we just did the other day or how many congratulations about the debt ceiling and the other. I mean if I I would would go back to the days before the debt ceiling. None of you even thought I'd get a meeting with the president. All of you had asked me, is it going to fall off the cliff? End of the day, we worked an agreement out. those Some of people got mad about it, but two -thirds, the highest number of Republicans, ever voted for a debt ceiling when you had it. You only negotiated based upon the deal we went. That was the moment they wanted to go You should. Look, government's designed that you have to have compromise. No, you can't get everything that you want. You've got a House, you've got a Senate, but you had more to question. My point was, my question was just going to be, that some of the criticism leveling you today, by both Democrats and by Republicans, is that perhaps you've been too transactional. In which way? In which word did I not keep? Name one thing I did not keep. A Gates says that there's so many things you can keep in the crowd. No, no, no. Tell me. What did Gates say? What did I not keep Gates in mind? Because Gates had never been a part of a discussion. Just because Gates said something, don't believe it's true. I haven't heard him say one true thing yet. On what? On what? That is not true. So, no, no, no. If you're going to ask the question, you're going to say it. Tell me how I did something different on the debt ceiling bill. Any of you. Tell me what I did different that I didn't keep my word. You said it was a problem. No, no, no. When you agree to spending levels, that's the maximum amount you can spend. This is what is wrong with Washington. Because it's the height you that can spend, you can also spend less. We're a different body. So does any of you believe that the Senate broke their word on the debt ceiling? Because they spent more than the limit. But somehow I'm wrong because I want to save the taxpayers more money. We're our own body. I have two children. If I give them each for $100 dinner and one spends $100 and one spends $80, am I going to yell at the one who spent $80 and said, oh my God, you've got to spend it all? It's not our money. And why am I getting criticized because I'm fighting for the American people, that we can eliminate waste. And you know what? own We're our body. So if we can pass the bills, and the Senate can pass the bills, but they pass them higher, but they haven't passed anything, somehow I'm wrong? I kept my word. I did not spend over the limit. They broke their word. Okay, you used the word, how was I transactional? If you ask a question, I want you to show an example. Give me example. Well, So what did I do this for that? Well, on the new print on the CR, you've been talking about leaving in, leaving No, no, you're making no sense. What transactional did it? No, no, I did no I tried to pass a conservative stopgap measure that secured the border and actually cut spending. When that didn't go, the only bill that was going was sitting over the in Senate that had a stopgap measure disaster in Ukraine. I made a decision as speaker to keep the government open and I put something on the floor and let me get this straight to all of you because someone said 72 hour rule, I'm the only one who's lived by it.

A highlight from SBF Trial: How Sam Bankman-Frieds Lawyers Might Try and Win His Case - Ep. 551
"Very to dangerous call the defendant. However, you may be in a situation where the government puts their case on and you are going to lose. There is no way you're winning. You're only shot as a Hail Mary. Okay, let's put them on. The other side of the coin is it's very powerful when a defendant testifies. It makes it much harder for the jury to convict. They're not dealing with characterizations of a person anymore. They're dealing with that person. They have heard the person speak intimately in a courtroom. And even in cases I've had where a defendant testified, even when the jury ends up convicting, it often takes them longer to get there because it's a harder decision when a human being testifies to them. Starting on Tuesday, October 3rd, the day this episode airs, the world will be watching the criminal trial of the United States versus Sam Bankman -Fried. In this episode, my guests Kayvon Sadeghi and Samson Ensor unpack what it is we're likely to see in the trial, starting with what kinds of potential jurors it is that both the prosecution and the defense will want to deselect from the jury poll this week, why it's even gotten to the point of a criminal trial given that three co -conspirators have already pleaded guilty, what the core of the trial centers around, and why it is, they think, the fact that it involves crypto won't matter. Plus, they explore the effectiveness of one potential defense from Bankman -Fried's side, the so -called advice of counsel defense that says that FTX's own lawyers approved of the company's actions. And finally, they raise the question that everyone will be looking for. Will Sam testify? Hi, everyone. Welcome to Unchained, your no -hype resource for all things crypto.

The Crypto Overnighter
A highlight from 687:Bitcoins U.S. Shutdown Surge, SBFs Trial, and Coinbases Singapore Milestone
"Good evening and welcome to the crypto overnighter. I'm Nicodemus and I will be your host as we take a look at the latest cryptocurrency news and analysis. So sit back, relax and let's get started. And remember, none of this is financial advice. And it's 10pm Pacific on Monday, October 2nd, 2023. Welcome back to the crypto overnighter where we have no sponsors, no hidden agendas and no BS. But we do have the news. So let's talk about that. Tonight, we delve into the intricate dance between the crypto world and various power structures. Will Bitcoin maintain its golden status amid government turmoil? What's at stake for Sam Bankman Fried as he faces a monumental trial? As Ross Albrecht marks a grim milestone, we look back at Silk Road's complicated legacy. Meanwhile, Coinbase gets a warm welcome in Singapore. But what does that mean for its U .S. operations? Swiss Bank UBS is making waves on the Ethereum blockchain and Grayscale aims to revolutionize Ethereum trading. Lately, we've been talking about the recent political drama that could have led to a U .S. government shutdown, but it didn't. And Bitcoin reacted in a way that's worth discussing. At the 11th hour, Republicans and Democrats struck a deal to keep the U .S. government running for another 45 days. This is not a permanent solution. It's a Band -Aid. The disagreements over funding levels, borders and the Ukraine -Russia war are still there. But for now, the government stays open and the U .S. citizen bears the brunt of this political circus. Now let's talk about numbers. As news broke, Bitcoin shot up over 3 % to hit 28 ,000. It also collided with its 200 week moving average, a critical resistance level. As of the latest data, Bitcoin is sitting at $28 ,360 apiece. If it consolidates above this level, we could see it test the local high of just under $32 ,000. Bitcoin's dominance in the crypto world also spiked well above 50%. On the flip side, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 171 points or 0 .5%. The S &P 500 fell by 0 .3%, while the NASDAQ composite rose 3%. So while traditional markets were shaky, Bitcoin showed resilience. Jay Hatfield, CEO at Infrastructure Capital Management, attributed Monday's tech sector rally as a relief sentiment from the averted shutdown. But he also pointed out that interest rates are the dominant factor in trading right now. The Senate passed the resolution just before the midnight deadline, and President Biden signed it into law. Initially, equity futures were in the green, but they fell into the red before the markets opened. Why? Because investors are now focusing on surging interest rates near 15 year highs. The 11th hour deal to avert a U .S. government shutdown had a ripple effect on financial markets but none more pronounced than Bitcoin. While traditional markets like the Dow Jones showed a decline, Bitcoin sees the moment, surging past significant resistance levels. This is a testament to Bitcoin's resilience and its role as a sort of financial safe haven during times of political uncertainty. The Dow's decline in Bitcoin surge presents a stark contrast. It's almost as if the investors are saying they have more faith in a decentralized digital asset than in the stability of the U .S. government. And if so, who could blame them? Both the Dow's dip and the spike in the 10 year treasury yield indicate that traditional markets are still heavily influenced by government actions and are not immune to the chaos of political breaksmanship. Bitcoin's dominant spiking above 50 % is another key takeaway. It's not just leading the crypto bull market, it's dominating it. This could be indicative of a broader shift in investor sentiment, favoring Bitcoin over other assets including altcoins. The 45 day extension gives Bitcoin another window of opportunity. If the bulls can maintain momentum and keep Bitcoin above its 200 week moving average, we could see it test new highs. But let's not forget, liquidity is still scarce. Unless another significant event prompts more U .S. dollar printing, progress may be slow. Yet the message is clear. In a world where traditional systems are showing cracks, Bitcoin offers not just an alternative but perhaps a better way forward. In essence, Bitcoin has once again proven its mettle by not bowing to political uncertainties. It's a reminder of why we're all here. For a financial system that doesn't play by the rules of centralized entities. That Bitcoin resilience? It may help us weather storms like what SBF is facing. Speaking of Sam Bankman -Fried, his trial kicks off tomorrow and it's far from a simple legal hiccup. Here's what's unfolding. And hey, if you're as glued to these narratives as we are, hit that follow button. You won't want to miss a beat.

Again that's Cryptonewsalerts .net. Welcome everyone just joining us. This is pod episode number 1419. I'm your host JV. Today is October 2023 2nd as the October pump continues. Let's freaking go. Shout out to everyone today in the live chat. Make sure to let me know where you're tuning in from. Of course at the end of the show I'll be reading everyone's comments out loud as this is a live and interactive show. Seven days a week and the after party FYI will be on rumble. So let's get it. Let's kick off today's show with our market watch as we do each and every day shall we. As you can see here on coin 360 we got Bitcoin up roughly 3 % for the day trading at roughly that 28 ,000 mark just under it. We have Ether consolidating trading under $1 ,700 while BNB, Cardano and Solana are all in the green and checking out coinmarketcap .com. We're finally climbing again at a market cap of 1 .09 trillion. We've been stuck around this 1 trillion level for quite some time. We got roughly 46 billion in volume in the past 24 hours meaning volume is up roughly 60 % and Bitcoin dominance is massively on the climb. I think the bull market is in full gear 49 .6 % for BTC with the ETH dominance at 18 .3 % and checking out the top 100 crypto gainers in the past 24 hours Satoshi vision leading the pack up 23 % trading at $39 .37 followed by e cash up roughly 9 % followed by Bitcoin cash. Now it's interesting that the Bitcoin forks are the top gainers for the day. I think anything associated with the name Bitcoin is pumping. It is what it is and checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past week Satoshi vision lead in the pack here up 23 and a half percent alongside our LB up roughly 12 % and XCC up roughly 9 % and checking out the crypto greed and fear index we're dead in the middle 50 which is neutral yesterday was a 48 last week a 47 and last month a 39 in fear. So there you have it fam how many of you are currently bullish on the king crypto now that we in October let me know and make some noise and put God candle and maybe the Satoshi and God's watching above will send it let's freaking go and with that being shared fam now let's dive into today's Bitcoin technical analysis and check out some of the charts and what's popping with the king crypto where Bitcoin is likely to go next Bitcoin aim for 25 at the October 2nd Wall Street open at a bullish start as the month continued which you can see here in the Bitcoin one -day candle chart data from Cointelegraph and trading view showed Bitcoin price action staying strong into October's first US trading session Bitcoin made swift gains into the weekly close following a contrastingly cool monthly candle completion that saw Bitcoin finish at 26 ,000 970 now popular analyst right capital says this monthly close despite now being more than 5 % below the spot price called for caution quoting him here Bitcoin performed a September monthly candle close below twenty seven thousand one hundred and he also said technically that black line was solidified as resistance for September so he acknowledged the October breakout but said this would invalidate the bearish predicament should it endure now he also says because the Bitcoin monthly closed below the black line there's always going to be a chance that this price action could end up as an upside wick as he shares here alongside this chart Bitcoin offered upside wicks of up to 8 % long before but right now Bitcoin is up four and a half percent this month so technically anything up to twenty nine thousand four hundred could theoretically end as an upside wick so there you have it let me know if you agree disagree with the analysts say goodbye to your credit card rewards big box retailers led by Walmart and Target are pushing for a bill in Congress to take away your hard -earned cash back and travel points to line their pockets Senate bill 1838 would enact harmful credit card routing mandates that would end credit card rewards as we know it if you love your credit card rewards visit handsoffmyrewards .com and tell them to oppose credit card routing legislation paid for by the electronic payments coalition now closer to home market observers noted the ongoing encouraging signals on the exchange order books quoting jelly here spot bid continues while funding is negative this reeks of disbelief and as he shared here Bitcoin still spot -driven perhaps haven't done much yet to be honest yeah so Bitcoin shrugs off fresh US dollar surge just as eager to hit new local highs in the day was the US dollar after Congress avoided a government shutdown the US dollar stays the sharp rebound from losses seen late last week and at this time the DXY circled 106 .7 barely point two points off its recent 2023 highs and for crypto analyst Nebraskan Gooner a breakout from here would put 108 in play mark in new 11 -month highs as outlined right here now it's interesting the Bitcoin is pumping alongside with the dollar is usually it's inversely correlated maybe it's a sign of the times now together with the hype on yields and the oil prices economist Mohammed el -irian described the DXY strength as neither the US economy nor the markets enjoy Bitcoin nonetheless remain unfazed let's freaking go and as Kaiser points out here well he responded to this news the Japanese 10 -year bond yields are surging hitting the highest levels not seen in over a decade max responded the yen carry trade borrowing and at virtually zero and investing in higher yield currencies is broken this has been the mother of all the Ponzi schemes funding the global financial ization for 30 years and now it's moving in reverse and quitting max again Bitcoin is a state of heaven that exists entirely beyond anyone's reach except the owner preach that's why everyone needs to be stacking them sass and with that being shared fam now let's break down our next breaking story of the day a theorem ETF futures launch today October 2nd that's right check it out investment management firm Vanek is set to launch as a theorem strategy ETF today October 2nd with the product now listed on the website under the ticker EF UT and set for trading on the CBOE the Vanek a theorem strategy ETF will look to accrue capital by investing into a theorem futures contracts and has no direct exposure to eat the fund will expose cash settled eat futures contracts on CFTC regulated commodity exchanges Vanek also touts the benefits of the product being a C Corp structure which includes tax benefits the long investors compared with registered investment company structures here's the announcement here on X from Vanek when you are ready enter the ether how many of you have seen this commercial let me know in fact they launched two of them they're quite fascinating the investment manner has been advertising the launch of the East spot ETF on its social media accounts over the past few days with to enter the ETH themed TV commercials promising the upcoming launch now Vanek also announced that intends to donate 10 % of all their profits from its upcoming ether futures ETF to a theorem core developers over the next decade and as reported 15 different ether futures ETFs from nine issuers are currently awaiting approval from the US SEC and I guess they have until the end of September of 2023 analysts cited sources with the SEC of saying the regulator wanted to approve either future ETFs before potential US government shutdown but meanwhile bitwise asset management confirmed that trading for its to ether if futures ETFs would commence October 2nd as well with investors getting access to eat futures trading on the CB OE so there you have it we all know that futures are not in investors best interest in fact investors are most likely going to get wrecked we want the real deal baby which is the spot ETF and a little later in the show we're gonna be discussing grayscale converting their product to not only a Bitcoin spot ETF but also a spot a theorem ETF here in just a little bit but first we have some breaking news coming in surrounding FTX founder Sam Bankman freed I mean you can't make this stuff up he allegedly was trying to bribe Donald Trump with five billion dollars to not run for president good freaking Lord check this out how many of you seen this story let me know former FTX CEO SPF once looked into paying Donald Trump not to run for president of the United States according to Michael Lewis the author of the new book documented the rise and fall of SPF Michael Lewis author of going infinite the rise and the fall of a new tycoon spoke about the former crypto billionaire and the FTX founder in a 60 minutes interview yesterday October 1st one of the revelations in the book is that SPF looked into paying Donald Trump to not run for president that only shocks you if you don't know Sam as Lewis added the following Sam's thinking that we could pay Donald Trump not to run for president like how much would it take the number that he was kicking around was five billion dollars and he added before saying that SPF was unsure if that number came directly from Donald Trump and here's your prescription I know just the pharmacy to get this filled who are you a pharmacy benefit manager a middleman your insurer uses to decide which medicines you can get what you pay and sometimes even which pharmacy you should go to why can't I go to a pharmacy in my neighborhood because I make more money when you go to a pharmacy I own no one should stand between you and your medicine visit ph RMA org slash middlemen to learn more paid for by pharma SPF was also looking into the legality of it according to Lewis who added that they were still having these conversations when FTX blew up it just didn't happen because SPF didn't have the five billion any longer very interesting if you haven't watched the video check the show notes below the video in the description and after the show you can catch it out this clip taken from 60 minutes now according to Lewis SPF saw Trump as trying to undermine the democracy of the United States thinking he belongs on a list of existential risk crazy Lewis spent more than 70 days in the Bahamas on a dozen different trips to visit SPF in 2022 and the pair became close I would say in spare bedrooms I had codes to every room including the penthouse he told the Wall Street Journal and speaking on the fallout between the collapse of FTX in November he shared it was like the aftermath of Pompeii clothes and belongings left behind frozen in time many headed to the airport leaving company cars with the keys inside at the curb now Cointelegraph contacted legal representatives for SPF and Trump mark botnik who handles communications for SPF case said there was no comment from his legal team and according to the trial schedule calendar released last week the high -profile SPF trial begins October 3rd which is tomorrow less than 24 hours out with their jury selection the trial then begins on October 4th so it's going to be an interesting week the trial will involve seven fraud cases against SPF two substantive charges where the prosecution most convinced the jury that Bankman freed committed the crime and five other conspiracy charges so there you have it I wouldn't put it past Bankman freed whatsoever he was supporting the Democratic Party making mass donations to the Dems in support of Biden and heavily against Trump so I mean good lord could you say fraud I mean I could see Trump saying hey give me you want to give me five billion and not run for president sure let's make it happen but fortunately enough Sam Bankman freed didn't get away with that particular crime that we are aware of as he lost the company and the company went kaboom thanks to CZ calling him out firsthand on his FTT scam tokens but anyways fam let me know if that's surprising or shocking to you or you're not surprised at all now let's discuss the etherium spot ETF which is way more significant than any futures ETFs will ever be let's break this one down following the approval of the first ether futures exchange traded fund grayscale investments is looking to convert its grayscale aetherium trust to a spot aetherium ETF kudos to them because they're doing the same thing with their Bitcoin product as well they want to spot Bitcoin ETF the new New York Stock Exchange arca filed the conversion with the United States SEC October 2nd today grayscale's existing trust invested in ether futures contracts as an indirect means of exposure to aetherium but a spot ETF will invest in the underlying asset itself that's what makes it that much greater it's not derivatives or paper it's the real deal they have to hold the underlying asset as Michael Sun and shine shared here grayscale has filed to convert their grayscale aetherium trust to a spot ETF thank you for your continued support we can't wait to get started yeah so he also says as we file to convert the ethe to an ETF the natural next step in the products evolution we recognize this as an important moment to bring aetherium even further into the u .s.
The Aloönæ Show
A highlight from S13 E16: Oliver: Writer, Producer, and Novelist Spotlight
"Hello, welcome to The Loney Show. I'm your host, John Mayolone. In this episode, don't have regulars, because raisins, as always, unfortunately. As for our guest, he's from Portland, Oregon, currently living in Los Angeles, California, and he is a film producer. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Oliver Tutill Jr. Well, thank you, Peter. It's actually Ted Hill Jr. But thanks for having me on your show. I'm excited to be here. Anytime. So, how's life? It's good. It's really exciting. I love the film business. I've been in the business for quite a while. And it's very exciting meeting different people, talking to different producers, actors, filmmakers, editors, composers, business financing. It's all very exciting. You meet a lot of very interesting people that are very involved in their work and are very creative. Ah, very good. And have you been up to much recently? Yeah, we've been pretty busy. My company's name is Cinema Development and Writing Services. And my business partner is Tara Walker. And what we do is, when we started out, we've had our business about a year now. And anybody that's curious, they can just go to cinema wds .com. That's our website. And what we do is, we work with novelists, and we adapt their novels into screenplays. And then once we've adapted them into screenplays, we've been asked by our clients to, well, can you place this with Hollywood companies? And we said, well, yeah, we probably can, you know, we weren't doing that. We're primarily focused on writing, but we started packaging, which means that we started putting together like a deck of electronic brochure that shows the actors we thought might be good for the role, and what the director is. And then we present it to different production companies, different producers and finance companies in Los Angeles, and sometimes in New York as well. Okay, very nice. And what inspired you to start all that? Well, I think I started out in the business, and so did Tara, we were both actors. And we enjoyed that. But it's, it's very, very tough. Getting regular work as an actor, you go through good times, and then there's these long stretches where you don't have much work. And so we said, Well, how can we get more involved in business? And so we both decided, well, why don't we become producers? So Tara started her own production company years ago called Alpenfest films. And then I started, I started out making a production company called Autumn Tree Productions, where I, at that time, this was in the late 1980s, I pretty much focused on making educational films, and actually was pretty much on emotional child abuse. And I did that for 10 years, I had a lot of success. A lot of my films, educational films are used in universities and colleges and many institutions. And after doing that for 10 years, I wanted to segue over into doing commercial motion pictures and, and documentaries. So I started a company called Bluewood films. And under that name under that company, I produced quite a few films and documentaries and pleased to say that some of them are on streaming platforms now where people can can see them. I just have my newest release was just last month. It's called Crazy Horse of Life, featuring Russell Means, the late Nakoda actor who did very well. Right, then. Very good. And have you ever considered like, releasing any of your work on an international level? Yes, I mean, Crazy Horse of Life is available internationally. They can definitely time to be TV so anybody can go to to be TV and anywheres in the world basically and watch it for free. It's ad supported. And then we've got another film called the right to bear arms, which is a dramatic crime feature starring john savage. And that's available on Amazon Prime and Amazon freebie and also on to be TV. And we've got another film that's distributed internationally. It's also on to be TV. It's called the Loch Ness Monster of Seattle and it features Graham Green, the Academy Award nominated actor from Dances with Wolves. It's been doing very well. My distributor is very pleased. He just sent me a letter the other day and he said how happy is that how well it's doing. So those those three films are available now. We've got new ones that are going to be coming out later this year. We're excited about. Wow, fantastic. So where would you see yourself 20 years from now? Well, that's a good question. And 20 years is a long time. But I would say in 20 years, I'd probably see myself and Tara, my business partner, our own company now, but probably producing eight to 12 motion pictures a year. Also, I'm a composer too. So I probably, I haven't been doing my composing recently, but I've, I've scored a lot of motion pictures and documentaries. And it's a matter of fact, Crazy Horse of Life. The score I did that score and I did actually I wrote the score years ago, but it's used in this big feature now and I scored the movie right to bear arms as well. So but 20 years, I want to still be producing movies and helping actors and helping create jobs for people that work in the industry. You badly because they can't get work. Yes, of course. So I want to provide jobs for people. And also, I'm a novelist as well. And I hope to have a few more novels released. I just had my first novel released by awesome Achilles publishers, which is their home offices in London. So it's definitely an international release. And it's called when the sunlight goes down, goes dark, excuse me, when the sunlight goes dark. And it's about a young, young boxer living in Los Angeles, who has to deal with unscrupulous promoters. And one of the one of the supporting characters in the book is a man from England who who wins one of the heavyweight titles. It's also a book that it also covers worker exploitation, family dysfunction, spousal Okay, fantastic. Yeah, let me just mention, Peter, that people can look at it to go to the website for the book. It's when the sunlight goes dark .com. That's the website for the book. And it's also available on amazon .com and Barnes and Noble, Goodreads, any bookstore, you go into any reputable bookstore, and they can order it for you. All right, then very good. So in terms of your written work, besides what, besides the novels you've just written, are there any more novels you're yet to write or have released? I do have one novel. It's called primordial division. I'm searching for the right agent to rep it. It's kind of a crime horror novel. It's also set in Los Angeles in the 1970s and 1980s. And it's about a woman who has the ability to see the future. She's kind of one of these mind readers and the kid, the male protagonist is able to, he's got the power of telepathy. Very good. And it's set in the context of the entertainment industry. Oh, nice, nice. What could you give a 40 minute presentation on without any preparation? I'm sorry, say that again, Peter, a 14. What could you give a 40 minute presentation on without any preparation? Oh, a 40 minute presentation? I could give it on, definitely, I could probably give it on, I made educational films for 10 years. So I could do on an education, I could do one on the film business. They cover all the aspects of the film business from development to pre production to production to post production, exhibition and distribution. I could do that for you. I've been in the music business since I was a kid. So probably give you a one on that as well. So, okay, very good. What which recent news story have you found most interesting? That's a really great question. The recent most recent news story that I found the most interesting probably would be what's going on with our climate and what's happening to the earth in regards to the climate crisis that's happening in the world today. That's that's one of them, I guess I know it's a big topic, but it definitely stands out. I'm also fascinated by what's going on in American politics today, who's running for president and what's going on in Congress in the Senate. And I'm also very concerned with the state of our country, you know, and how divided people are and how unhappy so many people are. Yeah, absolutely. I was gonna also say to my friends who are very struggling because they have kids, and it's hard for them to get daycare for the kids. So I have one friend, she had to give up work because she, she couldn't afford to hire a babysitter or a nanny or daycare. So yeah, she had to give up her job. Oh, no, that's just sad. Very sad, very sad, the income inequality in this, in the United States. I'm not an expert in your country, but in the United States, it's very sad to see so many people that are divided by class. Wow, I thought the UK was bad. I didn't know that the US has got bigger problems given its size. Yeah, there's a lot of problems. Definitely. We've seen the erosion of the middle class here. You know, it's been kind of disappearing for years. And the income inequality that exists in this country, it's pretty bad. And as well as you know, there was a, I was watching, I was watching News Nation the other night and the big story presented by Chris Cuomo, who's an interesting newscaster, whose brother to his brother to the former governor. And he his top story was these kids that these babies, basically, the toddlers and daycare that died from fentanyl overdoses. And he's all over that. And I'm thinking, yeah, that's, that's tragic. But a lot of people don't want to address what's happening kids into this country, they have many kids suffer from abuse, and how they it's very difficult for them to thrive and survive become and constructive citizens. That that puts something into the country that helps it grow more. Yeah, absolutely. You know, I can share one thing with you, I used to be a teacher. And I taught drama at a film school and a college, as well as film production. And I had a class, this is in Seattle, Washington. And I had a class where I had a quite quite a number of kids that were African American. And I'll never forget this, Peter, because like, they would come to class, sometimes the girls would be crying and go, what's wrong? She go, Well, Joey got killed last night. He said, What are you talking about? She goes, Yeah, Joey, you know, he got on the top of he got on the roof of Dan's car and Dan shot him to death. I said, Oh, you don't read about that in the paper. And then then another day, a girl came into class, she was weeping. I said, What's the matter? And she's when my sister was killed last night. I said, Well, what happened? She said somebody shot to her living room window, and she was killed. You don't read about it in newspaper. Just people don't know about that. Exactly. Yes, indeed. It's the media these days, they only want to show what they really want to show. They don't show the important stuff that goes on like poverty, financial crisis or things that impact a lot of people in this world. Absolutely correct. Yes, you're right, Peter. They don't know it's funny, funny because Chris, it's not funny, but I found it interesting. Chris Como mentioned one night on his show on news nation, he, he mentioned that people don't want to talk about class warfare in this country, you know, what's going on between the classes between the wealthy and the poor, or the struggling lower middle class, you get an idea of it. And now with all the strikes that are going on, you get the writers Guild of America on strike. You've got the screen actors Guild that's going on strike. Now you've got the United Auto Workers going on strike, and it's getting bigger, that strikes growing. And if that strike goes all out, it's going to, it's going to play havoc on the economy here. Yeah, absolutely. What do you disagree with most frequently? What do I disagree with most frequently? Probably people that say everything's going to be great. You know, you just have to hang in there. And also, I find myself disagreeing a lot with financial advisors who say, just, you know, keep it where it is, you know, don't sell, just stay steady, keep your bonds, 40 % bonds or 60 % bonds, 40 % stock or 40 % bonds, 60 % stock. I disagree a lot with financial advisors. Not that I'm an expert in finance, but I'm fascinated by it. I read about it. Absolutely. How much time do you spend on the internet? How much time do I spend on the internet? A fair amount, because I do a lot of research on the internet. And while I'm something to do research on something particular, then then you find, wait a minute, I've got to have to research this more. Then you find yourself going to another page, finding more things to read about. And then you realize you're going to be searching even more on the internet. So and to be honest with you, I spend so much time on the internet as it is on zoom calls. I'm tired of looking at the internet. I prefer reading books. So I read a lot of books. But I've got to use the internet a lot to do research. You know, especially I work with a lot of people that I've got to find out what their background is, you know, in the film business, and the financial business. So I do spend an enormous amount of time on the internet. I imagine you, you do yourself, I'm sure. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Hours upon hours. Yeah, it's a it's a necessity. It's a necessity today without a without a cell phone or computer. It'd be very difficult to survive. I do know some folks in their 70s and 80s. They don't use computers, they don't use cell phones. I do know one young guy who doesn't use a cell phone, but that's very unusual. But it's very hard to survive. I couldn't stay in business if I couldn't use a computer and cell phone. Oh, yes. Sure. It's the same for you. Yeah, of course. The internet is such a necessity. It's part of our lives, in a way. Absolutely. Yes. It is. It's built in. And you read about these kids, you know, they get addicted to their cell phones and computers. And there's so many psychologists that predict they're gonna have trouble with their personal relationships in looking at a screen. They don't spend time in person a lot. I don't know how that'll play out, but it makes sense in a lot of ways. What a world filled with clones of you, what would a world populated by clones of you be like, a world populated by I'm sorry, what what would a world populated by clones of you be like? You mean point of view? And a world populated by clones of you? What would it be like? Oh, clones of me? Yes. Okay, what would I think it would probably be a pretty peaceful world. To be honest, I don't think there'd be any wars, I think war would end. I think children would, we'd set up some type of educational system and change some values in the government in the country so that kids don't get abused, that parents are afforded the education and the training, starting in high school. Probably actually, I take that back, starting in grammar school. How to parent, how to treat other human beings, learning about themselves, becoming self intelligent, learning emotional intelligence, understanding their emotions. And growing up to be citizens that are productive and have empathy for other people. And if this happened, we could, I believe we could end this may sound naive, but I do think we could end poverty in this country. But there's no will to do that. There's no will to help kids because children can't vote. And they're not members of political action committee. So I would, I would make sure that their political action committee is available for children. I would allow children at a certain age if they can show that they have some knowledge about the political system, to have a say in voting, to see who represents them. And I believe with education, and with treating people well, with respect and compassion, having people trained for the type of work that they want to do, that poverty could could be eliminated. And so there are a lot of clones to me, there would be no more wars. And there would be a lot less suffering in the world. Yeah, that sounds that sounds like a very good reason. Thank you. Welcome. What's Education is the key. Education is the key and law. The merging of law and education. And again, unfortunately, the people in power, the bureaucrats and politicians don't have the will or the desire to bring about the needed changes. Yeah, it's so sad. What is your favorite quote? Yes. And probably, I guess it's a quote that is on my mind a lot now, because it's a quote I used to open my novel when the sunlight goes dark about the boxing family in Los Angeles, and the quote is, Oh, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, that I am so meek and gentle with these butchers. And it originally that quote is taken from William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar when Mark Anthony is standing over the dead body of Julius Caesar and Caesar has been assassinated. by members of the Senate. And he's bemoaning the fact that he's so meek and gentle with these butchers because he's kind of going along with them at the time. And it's just a quote that just stands out to me because I've used it in my book because I my books about worker exploitation in one way because a lot of these boxers are exploited. And a lot of them end up in not very good shape. Because people aren't looking out for him. So I guess for today, that's my favorite quote. I mean, I have others too. But I guess for today, that's the one that would be my favorite. All right. Very good. And I could you could use that metaphorically, too. I mean, the sense that, you know, Oh, pardon me, you know, why aren't the people that are running the government trying to help the people? Yes, that's a very good question. I'm sure you've run into very similar situations in England. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. All the time. What's improved your wife quality so much? You wish you did it sooner? I'm sorry, Peter, you have to say that one more time. All right. What improved your life quality so much? You wish you did it sooner? well, Oh, I would I would say I spent a lot of time in therapy. I came from a very dysfunctional family. I suffered a lot of abuse, I was put into a private boarding school where kids got regularly beaten very badly. One of the lucky ones, really, I never suffered any permanent physical injury. But I think if I hadn't gone into therapy, and I was in therapy for decades, I'd say that probably the key to my being a functioning productive adult today, that in a book I read, called compassion and self hate, written by Theodore Isaac Rubin, that book changed my life. I never thought a book could change my life, but that one did. Yeah, of course. That and of course, if you're going to be successful, you have to you have to work hard, you have to know where to put your effort, you have to work hard and you have to think smart. I mean, that old saying about if you work hard, everything will fall into place is not necessarily true. I've known, I've had guy friends that have worked hard all their lives, and they've got nothing. Yeah, absolutely. So you got to work smart, as well as hard. Yes. But the more success you realize, it just adds to your happiness and your fulfillment. Yeah, of course. But people need the basic necessities have to be taken care of. You got to have clothes, you got to have proper shelter, you got to have decent physical health. I don't think I've ever met anyone that's happy if they haven't had good physical health. Yeah, of course. How did you spend your last birthday? Well, my last birthday, I had dinner with my business partner and my best friend, Tara Walker. We went to a really nice restaurant down on the beach, had a great dinner. And then went home and watched a really great movie. And it was a great day. And you know, I talked to a lot of friends and family too. I got a lot of calls. Okay. That's cool. It was fun. Oh, yes. It was quite a time. Yeah. You like birthdays? Yeah, I like birthdays. It's pretty cool, I guess. It's funny. I was just reading about Jimmy Carter, you know, the former President of the United States who is a president. And he's going to be turning 99 here in a couple days. And someone called him up, one of his family members said, I wanted to wish you a happy birthday. And he said, that's, that's not real good. I'm not really excited about this birthday. I didn't know you even make this far in his life. Yeah, he's going to be 99 years old. And you know, he's been in hospice for seven months. Everyone thought he was going to pass in about two or three weeks and he's still going. Madness. Amazing man. Absolutely. We could use a young Jimmy Carter today. That's for sure. Uh huh. Yeah. That'll be something. It would be. Yeah. Yeah. What's the best way to start the morning? The best way to start the morning is to eat a good breakfast. I know so many people that don't eat breakfast. They have health problems, they're overweight. And I don't mean starting breakfast, you know, eating junk food. You gotta eat something healthy for you. Eat something healthy. Write down the things you need to do today if you have to make a list. Yeah, it helps me a lot before I go to bed to write it to do this. So when I wake up in the morning, I know exactly what I got to do. And I got to feel the body first. You got to take care of the body. I have a friend of mine who's, he had a stroke and he's in the hospital now. He can't barely move. And, you know, he, he didn't have the right diet and he's still a fairly young man. It's very tragic. So feel the body and feed it well. Yeah, absolutely. I'm sure you know, because I could tell you put a lot of hours on your show. Oh yeah. It's, it's quite a process, but it's definitely worth it. Yeah, it's enjoyable. Yeah, sure is. If you could travel back in time, what would decade you want to live in? There's so many decades I would love to live in. There's so many centuries I'd love to live in. It's really hard to pick one, but if I had to pick one, I'd probably say the early 1960s. Sixties? That's pretty cool. Yeah, that's when Muhammad Ali came on the scene and that's when the Beatles came on the scene. To me, that's, I think we'll never see the likes of the Beatles or Muhammad Ali again. Yeah. So one of a kind, they always say. Yeah, but I, believe me, Peter, I'd love to live, I could go back to ancient Rome and be fascinated. Of course, your life expectancy wasn't very long. Oh yeah. Cause Sanitary wasn't up there and the advancement technologies got in the way. Yeah. Everything's like, ugh. I would love to live the life of a Plains Indian in 1840. I think that would be fascinating. It's freedom that people can barely conceive of today. And what a great, got the kids, Indian children back in those days, man, talk about having a great childhood.

The Breakdown
A highlight from ETH Futures ETFs Get Set to Trade as Government Shut Down Looms
"Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, N .L .W. It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. What's going on, guys? It is Friday, September 29th, and today we are talking ETF approvals. Before we get into that, however, if you are enjoying The Breakdown, please go subscribe to it, give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation, come join us in the Breakers Discord. You can find the link in the show notes or go to bit .ly slash breakdown pod. All right, friends, lots of action to wrap up your week. We're going to talk a little bit of ETF announcements and then we're going to get into the government shutdown and, of course, give you all of the information that you need. Now we start with the SEC in the world of ETFs. That organization has been busy over the past few days making decisions on a variety of different crypto applications. Now, there are currently three major batches of crypto ETF applications that are being considered. On Thursday, four Spot Bitcoin ETFs were delayed, including the BlackRock application. Two additional Spot Bitcoin ETFs were already delayed on Tuesday. Announcements delaying the rest of the similar applications are expected to follow today and are likely to be published by the time the show is released. The next deadline for the SEC to consider approving Spot Bitcoin ETFs is on January 10th. That's an important one because it's the final deadline for the ARK21 shares application, so it will require an explanation from the SEC rather than just a simple delay. The second batch are the Ethereum Spot ETFs, which were also delayed. On Wednesday, the SEC deferred their decision on products from VanEck and ARK21 shares. The next deadline for regulatory consideration falls on December 26th. The SEC can delay further on these products with the final deadline falling in May. Now, overall, the delay of Spot crypto ETFs has not been particularly surprising. As much as people have wanted the legal decision from the Grayscale suit to force the SEC's hand, that court order is still able to be appealed, and there is nothing really compelling the SEC to move forward with Spot ETFs for the time being. Now, the more interesting developments surround Ethereum futures -based ETFs. Throughout August, at least 24 applications were filed, including some products offering short Ethereum exposure and combined long exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum within a single fund. Throughout the week, there have been rumblings that the SEC was preparing to approve futures -based Ethereum products, asking investment firms to update their documents by Friday afternoon. The rumor was that ETFs could begin trading as soon as Tuesday. On Thursday morning, VanEck debuted two 30 -second advertisements for their Ethereum futures product, which would trade under the ticker eFute. VanEck are going with the tagline Enter the Ether and commenting on the ad, Eric Valkunas, the senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg said, Now, later in the day, VanEck updated their prospectus for the fund. The ETF will only charge 66 basis points in fees. This is below the dominant pro -shares Bitcoin futures ETF, which is ticker symbol BITO, which charges 95 basis points. The lowest fee product seems to be Roundhill at just 19 basis points. Also on Thursday, Valkyrie announced that they would begin buying Ethereum futures on Friday in anticipation of altering the strategy of their existing Bitcoin futures ETF. The fund will now hold half Bitcoin futures and half Ethereum futures. The new strategy will be formally adopted on Monday under the existing ticker symbol BTF. Later yesterday as well, Valkyrie's chief investment officer, Stephen McClurg, said that both VanEck and pro -shares had been given the green light to launch their dedicated Ethereum futures ETFs on Monday. A pro -shares spokesperson said no one is in a position to launch ahead of us but declined to elaborate further on timing. Now, part of the reason that the SEC may be trying to move up all these delays and announcements is the looming threat of a government shutdown. Indeed, a government shutdown is at this point all but certain to begin on Sunday after House Republicans failed to come to a suitable agreement during a tense closed -door meeting on Thursday night. The House passed several versions of an appropriations bill that would authorize government spending on Thursday, but reportedly none have any chance of passing the Senate. The Senate are working on a bipartisan proposal for short -term funding, but this measure is unlikely to be passed by House Republicans. Tensions have flared between House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and House Freedom Caucus member Matt Gaetz, who is playing a major role in pushing the government into a shutdown. The dispute is around demands to slash government spending with a more specific demand that war efforts in Ukraine are defunded. Now, a government shutdown would end all funding of non -essential government programs until an appropriations bill can be passed. The length of a shutdown would be unknown. However, most government agencies are making plans to shutter for multiple weeks if not well into November. The impact of a shutdown will be largely felt by government workers who will not receive paychecks, as well as the recipients of government benefits. Social Security and Medicare continue to operate as usual during a shutdown, but the patchwork of other social programs will be paused. Now, when it comes to the macro environment, one of the other implications is that a shutdown would halt the collection of economic data. The next Fed meeting isn't until the end of October, but if the shutdown stretches out for a substantial period, the Fed could be faced with making a decision without key economic reports gauging inflation, employment, and growth. That would, of course, leave the Fed flying blind as they attempt to bring the economy in for a soft landing.

Thistles live special coverage from NPR news of transmission from the House to the Senate of the article of Impeachment against former President Donald Trump. I'm Elsa Chang. Here is well, we're going to be watching within minutes at the U. S. Capitol House impeachment managers are going to be literally walking across the Capitol building to hand deliver to the Senate. The single article of impeachment against former President Trump for what lawmakers say is his role in inciting the riot at the Capitol on January 6th. Joining us now to talk about what we expect to unfold over the next few minutes and the next few weeks are NPR Congressional reporter Claudia Gonzalez is at the Capitol now and NPR. White House correspondent Scott Data who is at the White House. Hi to both of you may also be there. All right, Claudia, let's start with you. I mean, we have seen this movie before. Just over a year ago. Yes, just give us a brief overview of the ceremonial procession that we're going to be witnessing tonight. Yes, we'll see the house clerk and the acting sergeant at arms, leading this team of nine impeachment managers to the Senate. It is reminiscent of what we saw Just over a year ago when Trump was Impeached the first time, but this time around, we'll see Jamie Raskin of Maryland, leading this team of managers that includes Joaquin Castro of Texas, Eric Swalwell of California. Madeline Dina, Pennsylvania, among others. The walk through Statuary Hall as well as the capital Rotondo before they reach this Senate chamber door, and then we'll see Raskin and the other managers in the Senate chamber and he'll be reading the article to night. Two to the chamber, Right, Literally word for word and Scott Of course, all of this is happening because of the riot at the Capitol in January stiff Can you just remind us of President Trump's actions that day and what specifically, Democrats are saying That justifies his impeachment. Sure, well, the backdrop was, of course, President Trump's refusal to concede that he lost the presidential election beginning in the middle of the night of election night. You and I were actually on the air live when he first tweeted that he actually won a race that he had not one. Um, and he consistently pressured threatened local state officials. There was that Memorable call with the secretary of state of Georgia, where Trump asked him to just find about 12,000 more votes, you know, as he was pressuring them for for for confirming the results of an election, which Joe Biden won the state of Georgia. Then on the day of the rally itself, President Trump spoke for more than an hour to a crowd on the other end of Pennsylvania. The White House, he said. Things like we're going to fight like hell urged the crowd to march up to the Capitol saying or not going to have a country anymore On and the House Democrats have said that that really kind of stirred the flames agitated the crowd and sent them in the direction of the Capitol, where they where they arrived and clashed with police force their way through barriers. Broke windows to force themselves into the building. Then, of course, once the once the violence began happening, President Trump issued several statements several tweets that were either ambivalent or even encouraging of what was happening. Of course, that video that he recorded late in the afternoon of the six where he did urge people to be peaceful. Ended with saying You're special, and we love you so even mixed message there. Yes. So the argument here is that he really encouraged this attack on the capital. Through the the actions over the course of several months and then the things, he said, and tweeted the day of right, So just to be very clear. This article of impeachment takes aim not just at President Trump's action the day of the riot January 6, but his actions over the course of weeks following the election, that's right. Several statements tweets things that he did. You know, you'll recall among that call with Brad Brad Reference Burger, the secretary of State of Georgia. He he called down. The Republican leaders of the of the Michigan Legislature is part of his quest to see if if state legislatures could overturn their electoral college votes, Of course, those two lawmakers Hold him, issued a statement saying. We do not have that power. We're not going to do that. None of the key officials in the states that that Trump focused on Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia to a lesser extent, Arizona. None of them followed his lead when he urged them to try and de certify the results of the election or appoint alternate electors as part of this effort that really culminated that day when Congress was certifying the results of the Electoral College. And at that point, President Trump was putting a lot of his pressure on his vice president, Mike Pence, making the false claim that Pence had the power to reject the Electoral College in Congress Pencil that Pence rejected himself. He did. Penn said he didn't have that power and then because of Trump's criticisms of him, including tweets after the riot had already started. There are lots of reports lots of video of the insurrectionists in the hallways of the U. S. Capitol, chanting Hang Mike Pence or find Mike Pence. Pence was secured in his office and then later is an undisclosed location. But many people in the building were looking for him and we're angry at him based on what the president had told them, right. Okay and Claudia Obviously, today's transmission of the article of impeachment sets in motion a trial in the Senate a trial that is set to happen around February. 9th right, Can you just remind us why we're going to be waiting a couple weeks before we see this Senate trial begin. Yes, This is part of a deal that was reached between Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. So they reach this agreement because Republicans wanted to give Trump more time. To prepare for this trial. Meanwhile, Democrats are in limbo. Their committees have not been set in terms of Democratic lawmakers leading those that's part of a Stalled discussions right now between the leaders on power sharing, because now this chamber is split 50 50, so they are in limbo, trying to figure that out. Meanwhile, They've confirmed about three of Biden's nominees. Another nominee was confirmed tonight. Jen Janet Yellen for Treasury secretary, but they still have a long list of nominees to get too, so this will give Democrats time to catch up there. Meanwhile, Democrats are also trying to get more legwork done on a $1.9 trillion proposal. The Biden administration to push through another wave of coronavirus relief, so both sides saw it as a win win to try and get these. To do list items done as quickly as possible before the trial begins. As you mentioned February 9th. Until then they'll be doing a lot of pretrial work. Senators will be sworn in tomorrow The Senate will issue its summons for Trump tomorrow as well. Next week will add some more pretrial steps will see the Senate go through those Then on Monday, February 8th briefs or do And it's that following day, when senators will be AH, beginning that trail, they'll have toe sit quietly as jurors for days and hours at a time and again reminiscent of what we saw last year, right? They're required to sit in the chamber throughout the whole proceedings. And, as you say, there is a very, very long to do list legislative to do list that will somehow have to be Fit into these trial proceedings. We will talk a little bit later about how those two things will interact as they're happening in parallel. But Claudia, do we know at this point, if if there will be enough Senate Republicans Who are open to convicting Trump. We really don't we know there's a possibility of a few Republicans who could join Democrats to convict Trump, especially a few moderate members, who have already said he played a role in inciting this January 6 Bob Mitch McConnell has also left the door open for the potential that he, too, could be considering a vote to convict the president that could sway a lot of members of his caucus toe also vote to convict. But Democrats need two thirds of a majority in the Senate chamber to convict so that 17 Republicans that would need to join them, and we're hearing.

Now it's state really is difficult to overstate the significance of what is going to happen in Georgia today, and that's why President Trump was down there last night, because if Republicans hang onto one of those seats, that means that they maintain control of the Senate may act as a check and balance on Joe Biden's agenda if they were too low.

"It's my honor to welcome back my friend Sara West All Sarah. Welcome back. The operation Freedom Platform. Thank you, Dave. It's always my pleasure. Well, Sarah, let's um, let's talk. Let's talk about Well, the most important information on the election fraud which occurred on November 3rd, which you believe the public Is unaware because the bought off lame stream fake media refuses to go near it. What are some of the most salient pieces of information that you think are have not been delivered to the public and lard? Well, I put together a list of the most incriminating piece of evidence that we have. And I think maybe that is, I don't know how much people know if you're watching the mainstream media. You don't have any of this. You have to be. Yeah, you have to be watching. It's so incredible. Listen to some of this, Okay? I just had Patrick Byrne on the other dudes. My latest show and He just I mean, I had to look this up there over 50,000 sworn affidavit. Now, after David's now, according to Patrick Byrne, both Republicans and Democrats, and as you know, he's been involved as much as you are with the lawyers and the attorneys and everything else. Another fact that I don't know if people know this is out of Pennsylvania one point 1.8 million ballots were mailed out. But there were 2.5 mail in ballots made our votes made with male and balance. It's like how could that be right? I mean, you can't have 1.8 mailed out and 2.5 mailed in. It doesn't work that way. Another stat being from Michigan. You probably know very well, Matthew. You deeper know who did a forensic audit with the Dominion voting systems and Miriam handing what a great journalist she was following this all along and broke that information. The Michigan audit showed that Dominion system had 68% air rate. Okay, just to put this in perspective, The Federal Election Commission guidelines says that you can only have one in 250 ballots can have an area. That's 2500.8% not 68%. And why is that relevant? Because that allows what it did is allowed a human to go in and manually correct it without oversight. And you know, Sarah, one of the things that happened, so that's called adjudication, right. So when there's an Eric gets kicked out, which means, as you said, and an individual, not supervised by anybody not monitored by anybody can alter the ballot. Well, here's the thing they make Photo KAT. They make photos. The system make photos of every ballot will one. That ballot is adjudicated or when it's kicked out, and then it's changed. The new ballot takes the place of the old ballot, and the original photo is deep sixed. Yeah, It's real bad. It's horrible. Oh, okay. Now, listen. This is something people probably don't have not heard. This is from Cindy polls, recent report That she gave to the U. S Senate Intelligence Committee, and in that the analysis has established that there was a 5.6% increase in votes. For one candidate for president across the entire Dominion system, with all other variables frozen So essentially, they increase the votes for Biden by 5.6% across the entire Dominion system. Big deal, OK, and another stat. This is something that he parked times just put out and this is correlates very closely without what I did about a month ago where we're looking at user are voting data. I knew there needed to be more analysis because this was the original data, But this is what the analysis was coming out within it matches But this is significant because it shows George George's data shows over 30,000 of Trump's votes were removed. Another 12,103 were switched to Biden. And this just was presented by do data Science is at the Georgia at the Georgia Senate hearings this past Wednesday, but he only lost by 12,670 votes enjoyed. Trump did. So just that puts him over the top. Not counting all the other fraud. Okay, This is not this is very similar. Now. There's over 500 data scientists in one group and that this was Ah, Truman Black. He's a people that all get together. They work on all the forums, the scientists, computer scientists all over the world do but they made a group. A computer scientist from universities and top corporations all over the country after this happened, and they were coming up with data, and there's another group of over 400 ex data intelligence officials that came together and this is just a part time just Reported on that Patrick Byrne, as you know, hired his own group of professionals. It was so obviously I mean, like, Oh, my God, I'm gonna hire people. There is so much proof, but what they're all coming out with, and Patrick Burns. Uh, agreed with that his group came up with this, too, Is that this? What to run? Black told me on the phone is that they're showing that it's not just the swing states that Trump wanted. He won in all the states except New York. And I don't know why New York voted. But that's just how New York went and that Not on Lee was did Trump win, But they took the Congress and the Senate to according to all this data if they did a serious forensic on this, where the people could see it. That's what it would prove, and that's what all these data scientists is. Computer scientists These experts were trained at the top universities in the world are coming back with You know, Sarah, one of the frustrations I have Is that right now, there's a senatorial run off being run in Georgia. And I don't understand why it's being run. Because it's you just stated is you just stated the results from November? 3rd, I believe would have shown Then her do and possibly even Doug Collins won outright won outright and there is absolutely no need. No need for another election, especially on election That's being run on the same infrastructure, the voting machines in the like in the reporting system. That caused the first criminal fraud A and Yeah, I don't. I just don't even it's so ludicrous. There shouldn't even be a runoff. Exactly what you're saying None of this should be happening. Well, that one out right and so did other people that are in there now. And then Sarah and December 30th Giovane Pope Pulitzer and I know you watch the testimony testifying from the Georgia Senate. He spoke about the fact that he believed many of the tens of thousands of fraudulent ballots reuse and he has a technology that can analyze 500,000 ballots over two hours time and can analyze the ballots about what's a fraudulent ballot. What's what's a legitimate ballot and the like, and the Georgia Senate to their credit said, You know, why don't you just look at one county Fulton County where Atlantis base? Why do you look at those? Well then, Okay, they start doing that on the 31st and, needless to say, trucks are pulling up and taking the ballots and not only take And, um, but trying to shred him in the like into tiny pieces as pet Bird said, not just into shreds but tight spitball pieces. But But then he also testified, and we're gonna play this clip and from someone with an Internet background as I mentioned In your in your introduction. This is why it's significant for you Did I think comment on this and for our listeners to hear your commentary, Giovane Pulitzer said..
