Tech Path Crypto
A highlight from 1272. BlackRock CEO Hints at DeFi & Bull-Run! | FULL BREAKDOWN
"All right, so let's drill down into Larry Fink's brain today. We're going to do this. He did a big interview at a Bloomberg event, and it breaks down a lot of not only his ideas of where the markets is going, but also some of the technologies within crypto that are going to affect all of this. I'll break it down for you guys today. My name is Paul Bearer. Welcome back into Tech Path. All right, let's get into our first clip. And this first clip is breaking down interest rates over the next few years, what it looks like from the man himself. Larry Fink, listen it. You have Jamie Dimon, for example, saying rates in the U .S. could go to 7%, and we're not ready for it. Is he right? Look, we all have opinions. I mean, I've been saying for over a year - I want to know your opinion. My opinion is we're going to have 10 -year rates at least at 5 % or higher. All right, so you heard it, higher, longer 10 -year rates holding on to that, but yet still very optimistic in terms of the overall position, so a little bit more hopeful. Rick Ryder, who is one of the key investment guys there at BlackRock, who manages like almost $3 trillion in assets, he also came in on this clip. Listen in to what he had to say. So I think there's a couple of things that are going to happen. I think when the Fed starts, and I think they'll start cutting rates in the second half of the year. I don't think they're in any rush that they need to do it. Second half of this year? Second half next year. Okay. Just wanted to make sure. Thank you for that clarification. I would have been buying stocks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so he's looking toward the third quarter next year. We talked about that before, is that that most likely will be the case with this higher for longer approach that goes into this. Now, the key here is, is what is causing this? Now, what are we seeing this in terms of the market disarray, the pushback, the consumer spending that's been holding inflation high? They get into it a little bit here around wages being too high. Listen in. The whole idea about restricting immigration. And in the United States, we've had close to a trillion dollars of fiscal stimulus just beginning its J curve. These are huge job creators and at the same time we have restricted immigration and as a result of it, you know, we see more wage pressure. So at what cost? We have in the United States, a very protracted strike between the auto workers and the auto companies. It has been reported that the union is asking for a 40 % increase. So at what cost? What do you do with a problem like that? Right now, I think in our mega trends, right now we are under invested in China. Under invested in China. That's interesting. OK, so a couple of points here to make and also to kind of references the framework of why these strikes are occurring, especially with the United Auto Workers strike. You look at it and it really boils down to corporate greed. I mean, at the essence, you've got all these car companies who have been feasting on American consumers for quite some time, for the last couple of years. Here's Stellantis as an example all the way back to 2016 when they were kind of flat and then right there 2018 blows up. Obviously, we saw the impact on the markets and then just this continued climb of Stellantis stock price. Now, part of that has been just because obviously car sales have continued. So his point of that wages are too high, that this is causing a lot of disarray within the market, there's an alternative to that as well. Let's go to this next clip, because Biden, actually, it's an article here, Biden actually responded to a little bit of this issue around the UAW. Remember, he's very pro -union, but his statement was he asked if he supported the 40 percent increase on the union and asked for it. He said, hey, listen, it's it's really more of a bargaining chip, really, than anything. And I would agree, you know, because it's kind of you ask for the highest amount you can and then you settle in with where it may end up. And I think that's what Stellantis is going to end up doing here as we go further. Remember, the key here with think is if you are very pro and I'm pro capitalist guys, don't get me wrong, but if you're a super capitalist, meaning you are absolutely just wanting to run amok within corporate greed, then you do want a lot of immigrants coming into the country and you want these kinds of mainly from just an optics standpoint, because it does start to put pressure on American workers. And I think that's the thing that everybody is looking at is how do we keep job wages low? And when I say everyone, meaning these capitalists that are really pushing at this. So this gets into some pretty big issues right here, even though he's asking for more immigration. I want to play this next clip to show you just kind of where immigration currently is. Let's listen in. In just one week, they came by the thousands, group after group after group of migrants streaming into Eagle Pass, Texas, prompting the border town to declare a state of emergency and straining the nation's immigration system. Again, the Border Patrol encountered a record two point two million people crossing the border illegally. The numbers went down a bit in the fiscal year ending this month, but are still high. Anybody that thinks this is a secure border is delusional. And this is something you see every day. All right. So as you can see there, does it look like we're restricting immigration at all? I think his point is really, really more toward the whole idea of, you know, higher wages being pressured, getting into that side of it. All right. So let's get into this next clip that talks about the recession and whether or not it's going to be bad, good, all that good stuff. Listen to what he had to say. Does that mean we are headed for a recession right now? I think we're going to see some economies enter recessions early. Which ones would that be? Well, I think Europe is more sensitive to the ones that are more sensitive to this elevated interest rates. Whatever the recessions we're going to have, they're going to be quite modest. So I'm not even that fearful. In many areas, you may need a recession to bring down labor demand. All right, so again, back to the point he's talking about, that's profitability and a lot of companies, once you bring down labor demand, that's one of the biggest issues there. He also gets into the point of what could be the catalyst to cause longer, a longer recession play into this. Here's what he had to say. So throughout history of U .S. growth slowdowns, we have underestimated every single one of them. Are you confident we're not making that same mistake again? If fear becomes worse, then consumers pull back and the recessions are going to become more protracted. We have elections in so many places in the world. We are going to have many political candidates who are going to provide a lot of fear. I think the political winner is the one who provides the most hope for the future or what people believe with the hope of the future. Do you see that, though? Do you see anyone projecting hope? I dearly hope so. I'm projecting hope. Larry for president? I don't know. No, I'm too young. I love that. All right, so I want to get into an area around reimagining bank lending, and this is where it starts to get into crypto or at least the underlying efforts of what he's thinking about crypto, because this is going to be kind of that format of how crypto will start to integrate into the banking system. Let's know what he had to say. We need to reimagine finance because of Dodd -Frank in the United States. Banks can't lend. And more of that, you know, the world doesn't want to get to the developing countries. They lend well, but clearly. All right, so obviously that's where, you know, stablecoins, DeFi, this starts to solve all those problems that we're going to be looking at around tokenized assets. I want to go to a clip here from Bankless asking really what's holding this back. Listen in to what they had to say in this interview. What you're buying today when you buy a stablecoin on the back end, it's cash and cash equivalents. That's an accounting term to say treasuries, repos and some cash in banks. The thing that is not like flowing through is the yield component. So you're getting a zero percent yield on your stablecoins today. So I started looking at someone has to have built something that solves this problem and no one had. The big challenge here is how do you bridge these two worlds, giving clarity on the real world asset side? So someone has to hold a treasury, a treasury bill, and that person was buying those treasury bills. At small scale, you can buy, but if you're starting to buy anything at meaningful scale, you have to show where the money came from and that where the money came from, the compliance AMLKYC component was hard to do. So we said, OK, if we want to offer this, you have to be regulated to do this at scale. And that is the biggest challenge that everyone in this industry faces is how do you answer that regulatory or legal structure in question? It sounds like what you're trying to build is the largest pipe possible between the government, United States government, risk free rate and DeFi. And right now you're saying that this pipe is actually constrained by our current stablecoin paradigm, the current meta of stablecoins, because you go through it vanilla dollars first when really you can just go more, let's get right to the punchline of this whole thing, which is like, let's take the yield of the risk free rate and get it into DeFi.

dude everywhere what the hell she was even with that guy in a email here's the thing i got a lot of good contacts in the homeland security space i mean i work for the department of homeland security and it happens every three years folks it's a pretty pretty standard thing the reason this this year it garnered a lot more attention is because the five g network is relatively new expansiveness is uh... it's it's uh... it's it's kinda ubiquitous now and it's just more devices now if you're looking for a guarantee for me that the government wouldn't use it as an opportunity for shenanigans then again you listen to the wrong show because i don't trust the government as far as i could throw them and i can't throw very far i've got arthritic shoulder so i'm not ties here to tell are talking about things i don't know so i don't know for sure what they could or won't be up to because i don't i don't know i'm just telling you my sources are saying it's a pretty standard thing they do it every three years as a two thousand six testing law on the ebs emergency broadcast system they've done it every three years they did it in eighteen they did twenty one they're doing it now but so on is the government spying on us front i doubt it but i can't answer i'm not the city in which is there and i don't have the i okay i can't predict what the government's doing the government sucks i frankly wouldn't be even remotely surprised if the emergency broadcast system thing turned into some mechanism to install pegasus on every phone in america i i wouldn't wouldn't be surprised one bit do i think that's gonna happen i don't so you ask me for my indian i want to argue with you however the timing of this test really really weird and i got to be some questions so i'm going over this this morning and i'm looking at some stuff and a friend of mine i was talking to about this thing says don't you think it's a little weird he sends me these two articles he says i want you to notice the jim date today's date is what october oh it is the oh okay wow i thought it was the 17th it's the fourth that's interesting so my remember alec ballroom he filled in for radio interesting we need

just got to questions jim what's the warning number what is it 4 000 i'm gonna write this four five thousand hundred and eighty i've only warned you about this four thousand five hundred eighty times we're actually keeping a count now it's not highly accurate number i can't start at four thousand five hundred but that's okay it's accurate hundred -percent this is warning 4580 that the united states government knows things right now that you don't a a lot of things i think that's fairly obvious but a lot of the things they know are about postures and nuclear postures of foreign militaries and china and russia in particular are definitely acting in concert with one another right now and i wouldn't be even remotely surprised if
The HUMAN Training
The Truth About Dominance-Based Dog Training
"Laura, what are we talking about today? We're talking about dominance theory, alpha male -ing, and also going the other direction, not purely positive, but the two different spectrums of the dog training world, and what dominance training looks like, or dominance theory, or... Right. So I guess a great, for someone listening that's not familiar with dominance dog training, there's a misnomer out there that wolf packs, real wolf packs, they have the dominant female, the dominant male, and everybody else is... The alpha. Right. And they dominate everyone, and everyone does what they say. In real life, wolf packs that are natural in the wild, not... Natural wolf packs, not wolf packs put together by the United States government as transplants to a new environment. They family are centered. There's a mom and dad, babies, and they grow up and become bigger dogs. So that is a family pack. They really are a family pack. And there's not... It's as dominant as a mom and a dad trying to train their children. Children. That's how dogs... Obviously, they use their teeth to do different things. And if you see, even dogs, if you see a mama dog with her puppies up, that's why you need to keep the puppies with them till at least eight weeks, is she will correct her puppies correctly to teach them how to bite properly, how to do things that they should be doing. And she uses her paw and her mouth to do that. But she does not hurt them. Right. So... But a lot of people take that to be meaning we need to dominate the dog. We need to have power over the dog. We need to make them... We need to hold the dog down like the alpha in the pack would have. Yes. Is a good example. And we just posted a YouTube video the other day, yesterday actually, like 40 seconds long on that theory of some dog trainers, if they deal with a reactive dog or just any dog. And a lot of times you'll see it with a dog with a strong will. But usually you'll see it with a reactive dog, a dog that's aggressive towards other dogs or people, but that would not go well for what they're doing. They'll do what's called an alpha roll, meaning they force the dog onto its side in a position of submission and hold the dog down on its side and one hand or knee on the dog's head and force the dog to lay there until it submits. So that kind of training is definitely dominance. They're trying to establish dominance over the dog. Basically they're asking the dog to be submissive. 24 -7. And who the hell wants a submissive dog? No, not me. I mean, really. Do I want to wreck my dog's personality and make my dog a submissive dog for the sake of getting them to not lunge and bark at other dogs? I mean, I get that they're trying to get the dog to stop doing that, but they never taught the dog to stop doing that. The dog's just not doing it in your presence because they know you will not tolerate it and what you're going to do to them. It doesn't mean the dog's not aggressive anymore, right? And they're not digging into why the dog's doing it because most of it's fear -based, not all of it, but you need to teach a dog a better behavior and also let them figure out for themselves that this is not a bad situation.
Evening News with Art Sanders
Fresh update on "united states government" discussed on Evening News with Art Sanders
"Till this is America in the morning. For the first time in US history a sitting speaker has been ousted stood from the House of Representatives. As Washington correspondent Sagar Magani reports, Kevin McCarthy has announced he will not seek the speakership again and his removal angrily pitted some members of the GOP will be against each other. Let's be very clear here. We would not have a House Republican majority without the relentless efforts of this man our speaker. Chaos is speaker McCarthy. Chaos is somebody who we cannot trust with their word and shows regret that I must vote against the motion to table as I did and devote to vacate the chair. This house will shift automatically to the left and will effectively end Republican House majority that the voters elected in May 2. It was a stunning scene on the House floor. The yeas are 216. nays The are 210. The resolution is adopted without objection. The motion to reconsider is laid on the table. The office of Speaker of the House of the United States House of Representatives is hereby declared vacant. Kevin McCarthy losing the gavel on a 216 -210 vote. It was just the second time the House had ever voted to consider ousting a speaker, coming after McCarthy worked with Democrats over the weekend to avert a government shutdown, a decision he backed earlier in the day. I stand by that decision. At the end of I the day, have if to lose my job over, so be it. But I'm gonna fight for the American public, and I'll continue to fight. And he did, with chief GOP critic Matt Gaetz leading hardliners in challenging McCarthy. He failed to take a stand where it matters. Gaetz during an extraordinary floor debate, where McCarthy backers like Tom Cole argued the move would hurt the GOP. Honestly, they're willing to plunge this body into chaos and this country into uncertainty for reasons that they really understand. I certainly don't. There is no obvious successor, though Patrick McHenry been has appointed acting speaker. Text messages saying, hey, give me money. Look at that. give Look, me money. I filed the motion to vacate using official actions, official actions to raise money. It's disgusting. It's what's disgusting about Washington. I take no lecture on asking Americans patriotic to weigh in and contribute to this fight from those who would grovel and bend knee for the lobbyists and special interests who own our leadership, who have all boo all you thought, who have hollowed out this town and have borrowed against the future of our future generations. It's mangani Washington. It's 21 till the New York judge presiding over Donald Trump's fraud civil trial imposed a gag order after the former president made remarks about a key court staffer. Correspondent Julie Walker reports. This case should be dismissed. This is not a case. And she should probably be dismissed also because she's terrible. And after a post on Donald Trump's social media with about disparaging the judge's remarks law clerk taking a photo with democratic Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer and talking about it with reporters. You saw what was just put out about Schumer and the principal clerk. That is disgraceful. The judge issued a limited gag order on all parties and Schumer's camp issued a statement saying this pathetic post is ridiculous, absurd and false. Senator does not know the law clerk. This activity overshadowed the prosecution's questioning of Trump's longtime accountant who testified the Trump organization supplied the numbers for financial statements. This case should be dismissed and they ought to get on to violent crime and solving the problems of New York City and New York State at court in Manhattan. I'm Julie Walker. Federal Reserve officials gather insights and observations about the economy from experts including PhD economists, Fed but Chairman Jerome Powell has been seeking out other opinions. Correspondent Ben Thomas reports. Depending on how you go, York, Pennsylvania is a little more than 90 miles from Washington, D .C. Travel Powell to York to learn about the efforts of the longtime manufacturing hub to diversify its economy. But he also heard from small business owners about how they're personally grappling with inflation, high interest rates, labor shortages and other challenges of the post -pandemic economy. The business people were generally optimistic, including finding all the workers they need and how higher interest rates have encouraged them from expanding. One described herself as having been a little blindsided by inflation, noting predictability is gone and it's very hard to operate a business without predictability. I'm Ben Thomas. Thanks for watching. And I'll see you next time. Ben is taking at the fentanyl trafficking threat. And Donahue reports the Justice Department charged eight companies based in China and 12 of their executives for crimes related to the production, distribution and importation of fentanyl, other synthetic opioids, methamphetamines and their precursor chemicals. Eight companies from China are being charged. Twelve executives have been indicted. The executive told the customer the company would ship the precursor under a different economical name to ensure, quote, safe custom clearance, close quote. But in fact, the reported customer was an undercover DEA agent. Attorney General Merrick Garland says they import the chemicals used to make fentanyl. This network includes the cartel's leaders, their drug traffickers, their money launderers, their clandestine lab operators, their security workers, their weapons suppliers and their chemical suppliers. Garland says chemicals found in just one of the cases would have been enough to make more than 72 kilograms of fentanyl. That amount could be used to make more than 15 million fentanyl pills, each one potentially fatal. The government says Mexico China and are the primary sources for fentanyl and related substances trafficked into the US. The United States government is focused on breaking apart every link in the global fentanyl chain. That includes holding accountable the chemical companies that we know are fueling the fentanyl epidemic. It is critical that the PRC

A highlight from Guys Take_069 - But It's Just Digital Points...
"Have you ever tried to explain Bitcoin to someone and you get the response that it has no intrinsic value, that it's just a bunch of digital points and so it's not real money like the dollar? Well if you ever wondered how to frame the answer to that challenge, this is the episode for you. This will be the first in the guys take FUD busting series. It's just digital points. The best in Bitcoin made audible. I am Guy Swan and this is Bitcoin Audible. What is up guys, welcome back to Bitcoin Audible. I am Guy Swan, the guy who has read more about Bitcoin than anybody else you know. Don't forget to check out AI Unchained, our other podcast. We had a really phenomenal conversation with Dhruv and I've actually got a piece I'm going to be reading this week that I think is really fascinating and I finally have my, or at least all the pieces of the AI machine are together, but I've got a DRAM light on the motherboard so not something's right and I'm not sure what it is. I didn't think I needed to flash the bios, but maybe that's what I have to do now. Which means I need to take all this stuff back off of it, I'm not happy about it, but it is what it is, but the AI machine is at least in a troubleshooting phase and closer to being completed. So stay tuned there, there should be some really fun stuff to update on that one. But today, we are diving into our first of the FUD series and this was largely inspired by a conversation I had while we were traveling with just a stranger, a barista, I was getting coffee and essentially the response was, and we talked for quite some time, we talked for But her perspective, I just could not seem to get past her idea that it was just digital points, that it was all just kind of meaningless, but Bitcoin would be, sure, that could be a good option, but it all just seemed so arbitrary to her and I wanted to, I feel like I didn't really have the time to set it in and I probably didn't, it wasn't until afterward that I realized the direction I took, I didn't know until after her responses that I was kind of going in the wrong direction from her perspective, or at least one that wouldn't really enlighten the situation at all. So I decided it was time to do a FUD series, take the large claims, the predominant claims against Bitcoin and basically break them down. And we are starting today with our first in the series with It's Just Digital Points. This show is brought to you by Fold and the Fold debit card. This is a fiat debit card, a normal banking debit card, except that it's not normal because it pays you Bitcoin to use fiat. I get 1 % back base on every single thing that I do, plus a ton of spins and literally just the other day I hit 100 ,000 sats on a spin, I shit you not, one of my free spins of the day got me 100 ,000 sats. Then for tons of major merchants, Amazon, Uber, Airbnb, DoorDash, there are even higher rewards, 7 % back, 2 .5 % back, 3 % back. I use the gift cards religiously through the app for a lot of purchases that I do. This is such an easy, low barrier way to stack tons of extra sats that you don't even have to pay for. And you can buy Bitcoin directly in the app. Check them out at BitcoinAudible .com slash fold. Now another way to get Bitcoin really easily is to sell your services, your products, request donations, do fundraisers, to plug Bitcoin into your online life. You have a skill, you have a hobby, you have an online store, Nodeless .io is the simplest way to set this up. In fact, I was just working with someone the other day that just kind of made it clear how important I think a product like this is. She was having trouble setting up BTC pay server on her own node, and which she still has and should use in all other contexts. But setting up online integration is just not an easy thing, and BTC pay server, if you're technical, is a wonderful tool. But when I suggested Nodeless, and that it's just a 1 % fee, and she can just plug this stuff in, she can make a paywall in literally seconds, and that this will forward straight to her cold storage, and there's no KYC, the reaction was literally, oh my god, yes, let's just do that. And as someone who does use BTC pay server, and can, and is very technically literate, I still use Nodeless, because it's just, it just works. There's no channel management, you can get your own lightning address through Nodeless, and it just automatically forwards all the payments to you. Check them out at my link, BitcoinAudible .com slash Nodeless. And lastly, your cold storage. You gotta get a cold card. That's where Nodeless is going to automatically send anything that you make online, or anything in your fundraiser, anything like that, and it's where you're going to withdraw your fold sets. Because you want to know that they are yours, that they are secure, that they are on a safe, easily accessible, low attack vector device. It isn't busy doing 100 other things, or trying to appease a million shitcoins, it is Bitcoin only, and it just does its job. They have a very long -standing product and place in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and a highly trusted reputation, and you can get 9 % off with code BitcoinAudible all one word. Go to BitcoinAudible .com slash coldcard, and all the links and details for all of this stuff are right in the show notes. All right, so what do we say? How do we address the concern from the no -coiner or the pre -coiner that it is just digital points? Or maybe it's good to start that conversation with, you've never used anything but digital points. That's exactly what fiat is. In fact, if we're specifically saying it's arbitrary or it's empty digital points, that's a far better description of fiat than it is Bitcoin. There is no physical dollar, and I don't mean it like there's not a piece of cotton paper, but that the piece of cotton paper is just to carry around proof of digital point. But your dollar isn't backed by anything. You don't redeem it for anything. You can't redeem it for anything. There's no gold in the vault somewhere that's waiting for your dollar to come get it to make sure that your dollar is always worth what it was worth yesterday. And if you go ask for redemption and you want something other than the dollar, there's not like a law or there's no contract anywhere for any reason that says that you're going to get like four bricks out of the White House or something if they don't pay you some other way. You're not going to get shit. If somebody doesn't, if the owners and the printers of the dollar bill don't want to pay you, in fact, just the opposite, the printers of the dollar bill are you are paying them. You are working for the money and they are printing the money. They are getting the stuff that you make for free because you work for the tokens, the empty digital points that they issue and give to you in exchange for them. You make a bunch of sandwiches, you make a bunch of food. They eat it and they print money. They do nothing. So while you put food into the economy, they take it out and they put nothing back in. They just create a bunch of empty digital points out of thin air so that you will work, so that you will pay them because the tokens aren't the value. The tokens are just a reflection of the value. There are means to communicate that value, but the value is the food. You know, if somebody said, would you rather have a million dollars and never be able to eat again or would you just not be able to use money and have an infinite supply of food? You would take the food because you're just going to die if you have a million dollars and you can't eat. A million dollars is only valuable because you can get food with it, because you can buy a house, you can buy a car, you have access to energy because all of the things you actually want exchangeable are for the tokens. Which means that the fact that it's a token, that it's a digital point is completely irrelevant because all of its digital points, even go back to gold from the 1600s, we were still just using digital tokens that were redeemed for gold or not digital. We were using analog. We were using virtual. Virtual is the better term. Virtual just means it's in place of. Digital is specifically referring to zeros and ones, and obviously a gold token, a gold note is virtual gold, like it's redeemed for gold, so it's working in place of it. It's a fake version of it that is intended to be used for the real thing, but it is obviously not zeros and ones. But literally that started 500 years ago. And understand when somebody says that the United States dollar is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, that doesn't mean anything. All that means is that you will pay for it. It doesn't mean that Congress is going to get together and build a bunch of houses that they're like literally going to put on some gloves and they're going to go out and they're going to make a bunch of programs and do a bunch of stuff. No, it just means they're going to steal it from you. Saying it's backed by the full faith and credit of the United States is like saying the dollar is backed by the fact that you will have to work for it, even if you don't want to work for it. So it would be like if a slave on a plantation has tokens that the plantation itself issues, it creates, and the slave says, oh, well, no, this, I can, I can buy a shirt, I can, I can get cotton to make shirts for this token, therefore it's valuable. But the plantation itself doesn't have like a capital stock of cotton. They don't have like a bunch of savings. In fact, just the opposite. The plantation owes astronomical amounts of cotton that haven't been picked yet. Well then to say that the token is backed by the full faith and credit of the plantation just means that the slave is going to continue to be forced to pick cotton and that if they pick more cotton, well then the token will be able to get them some cotton. But they are the ones who picked the cotton. The plantation didn't back anything. They just picked their own cotton. The plantation took a giant haircut and you paid for the plantation's debt and then the token paid, the token allowed you to keep whatever cotton was left over. The full faith and credit of the United States government doesn't mean shit. And if they in debt themselves to trillions and to the hundreds, tens to hundreds of trillions of dollars, which they're going to do, they basically already have the unfunded liabilities are astronomical. The full faith and credit of the United States is nothing. It's literally worth negative because it means that you're, you're holding onto their liability. That not only do you have to do those, the exact work you need to pay, are you the only one doing the work for the value that you get, but you're paying for their debt on top of it. It's the credit. Their credit is not good. Their credit is a negative. Their credit is something that you owe them. So I cannot stress this enough. Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States literally only means that you are going to work off their debt and you might get a pittance that is left over. Now it may seem like for a pretty long time, at least a few decades, that you're getting it for free because you can just keep nurturing the debt and you can just keep growing the debt and not actually pay it off. You can just hold onto the balance. But that literally only works as long as you have capital stock to deplete. So if the plantation had a bunch of cotton, like saved up, like in like a giant cotton bin, well, then they could keep running debts and they could just keep lowering the amount of capital stock that they had until the bin runs out. But then the gig is up, then you have nothing. And that's what we've done. That's what the United States has done. They've gutted their manufacturing because they just keep printing money and they keep issuing debt. What has happened is that rather than building up and growing the economy and actually having money that reflects the actual economic activity, what we've done with the money is we've dismantled and sold off our tools. We've dismantled and sold off our manufacturing. We've exported all of the products that we purchase and we've become this service economy. And people say, it's like, oh, that's a modern economy. No, it's not a modern economy. It's an economy that has been gutted of all of its real value through a debt and money printing scheme. I'm sorry, but services are simply on top of the physical things. Like if you don't have a house, if you don't have electricity, if you don't have running water and you don't have food, then your Netflix is meaningless. So if you sell off all those other things, you sell off the manufacturing base and you sell off the production of your own goods, then your services are worth jack when it comes to the point that they're not selling the goods to you anymore for the tokens of your credit promises. So that's a really lengthy way to say it is all just digital points and all you have ever used are empty digital points. The real question is what is the integrity of the point system? Think about it like a game. If you wanted to determine who the greatest chess player is, what do you do? You hold tournaments and you have players play each other over and over and over and over again. And you take the winners and then you set them against each other and they play a bunch of games and then the person who wins the most games plays someone else and then they play etc. etc. until you're left with one person. But why does that work? Because the points you get actually have something to do with whether or not you won the game.
Bloomberg Daybreak
Fresh update on "united states government" discussed on Bloomberg Daybreak
"And i think they're going to be some severe consequences for him both in the short term and for his longer term political career joe in the meantime we've got all these priorities that are in limbo with the speakership vacated ukraine aid that president biden is trying to assure his allies will be coming and immigration reforms that sort of sparked this fight now on hold as well what happens with well making now i think you're seeing it uh... look we're on ice until a things couple of get resolved here in the idea of this all being done uh... by november seventeenth is a little bit cute this stopgap of funding measure that's in place now will not likely be replaced by a real budget so it's a question of uh... whether we do in fact shut down just before thanksgiving in the middle of a leadership or there's another c r and that feels pretty sticky right now since that's basically what fired for doing uh... look patrick mckenry's in a different world though and if if the leadership can figure out a way to keep the lights on here that'll go a long way uh... to maybe buying some time but let's very difficult look ahead not just to the end of this year but twenty twenty four as well this has to have implications for not just the race to figure out who's going to have control of congress after this year but yeah i think so the uh... you know that and you know what it's to going do i think isn't is required the more uh... the more extremist purist candidates it's on the republican side uh... to really ever could have a strong view about how they feel uh... about what gates in the end up in the purists have done uh... and i think you're you're going to get up to a pretty strong institutional pushback from the more pragmatic side of the party uh... the what's say the in nikki hayley's for example or even the ten scott's uh... and it will go a long way there towards helping define what sort of nominee the republicans have of my view generally has been that the uh... the non -trump candidates have been gradually winnowing into a top -tier consisting of but no particular ordered at haley scott and the status and everybody else in a kind of a lower tier but you know that could get shake it up depending on how that the iowa and new hampshire electorates you pragmatism versus purism is this something that the presidential candidates are going to have to address i mean we heard uh... former president trump wondering on truth social why republicans are fighting among themselves what about some of those also rams joe look donald trump's definitely in this already he was also in the shutdown conversation urging republicans to vote to shut the government down if they or everything they wanted and this is certainly going to learn large on the campaign trail i don't know this does anything to help anyone in the so -called uh... second -tier ronda santas has tried to get a piece of this nikki haley uh... but i i'm just very curious to see how democrats position themselves because there is school a of thought here that the hockey jeffries nancy pelosi company yesterday chose to not go along with mccarthy kevin because the year of chaos is a pretty good way to lead to uh... turnover in majority the in the house and obviously it wouldn't take a lot can they pick up five seats by spending the year showing discord and dysfunction of the republican conference i think that's what you're going to see and the folks in the d triple c in those agencies tasked with getting uh... democrats reelected and elected and particularly in in some difficult this districts is going to be the story that they're telling while republicans are beating the drum on immigration security democrats are going to be pointing to the chaos caucus in the time we have left area wanna focus on the market implications of this turmoil on capitol hill we've already heard booties warn about its flagging confidence in u s governance what are the market implications out for a speakerless house uh... couple of things uh... firstly but it is a market negative because it makes more intractable that the two intertwined political crises both the bipartisan inability to reliably fund the government the inability to address the out -of -control fiscal situation uh... as i said that might progress cation for ever shut down this one up to eighty percent but unfortunately my own prediction that telling you and others in markets about for the last couple of months is coming true this is not a one -off shut down market should be concerned about but it increased volatility say at least three months you know that had that that spills into uh... the self -created cases spills into kind of the debasing of united states government financial markets and you see that a lot of uh... a lot of areas right now really appreciate you both coming on with us uh... this after morning a historic day another one in washington d c terry haynes the founder of pangea policy and our washington correspondent joe matthew is of course going to have a much more coverage throughout the day and probably weeks to come on sound on one p m wall street time here on bloomberg radio and on balance of power uh... that starts weekdays at five on bloomberg television up next we'll get much more on on what comes next for a speakerless house plus we'll have updates on the fraud trials of donald trump and sam in our six

This is pod episode number 1366. And on X, this is live stream number three on rumble. Maybe we're up to live stream number nine. It's hard to keep count. I'm your fearless leader, JV. And today is August 9th, 2023. Let's kick off today's show with our market watch. You should be able to see on your screen. We've got Bitcoin currently correcting down 1 .6%. Yesterday we recaptured 30 ,000, but unfortunately it was short -lived and we dropped right back down to currently where we sit at 29 ,400. As you can see Ether also correcting down a half a percent, trading at $1 ,850. XRP, one of the few alts actually in the green right now. And checking out coinmarketcap .com, the current crypto market cap sits at 1 .17 trillion with about 38 billion in volume in the past 24 hours. The Bitcoin dominance is 48 .7 % with the Ether dominance at 18 .9%. And checking out the top 100 crypto gainers in the past 24 hours, Aptos leading the pack up almost 11%, trading at $7 .45, followed by Chainlink up almost 4%, trading at $7 .66, followed by XRP up about 3%, trading just above 65 cents. And checking out the top 100 crypto gainers for the past week, you can see a mix between a sea of green and red. Some of the biggest losers include OPMNT and PLS with the top gainer being Aptos up 11%. And checking out the crypto greed and fear index, we're currently rated a 50, which is neutral. Yesterday was a 54 and last week a 53 neutral and last month a 56 in greed. So there you have it. How many of you currently bullish on the King Crypto? Let me know in the comments right down below. And now let's break down today's technical analysis. Check out the charts and what is popping with the King Crypto BTC. Bitcoin consolidated at a key flip zone August 9th as Bitcoin price strength staged a sudden return, which you can clearly see here in the Bitcoin one hour candle chart. Data from Cointelegraph and TradingView showed Bitcoin trading near 29 .8 after a surge during the previous day's Wall Street trading hours. That followed a recovery from the local lows under 28 .7 and topped out only after a trip to 30 ,200, which was yesterday. Bitcoin's highest August price thus far. The rapid change in moods soon impacted market participants' expectations for the market. Quoting analysts here, that indeed was the higher low. Bitcoin continues to maintain a bullish market structure, said popular trader Jelly. He also said it needs to break 32 ,000 from here. Let's see if this bounce has any legs. And he makes a good point. I think once we break 32 personally, there's not much resistance between there and 40 ,000. And he shows us a bullish outline where the level to break so we can continue marching forward. Jelly additionally noted that on the one day timeframe, Bitcoin completed a bullish cross on the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, quoting him again. Another item we can add to the list of bullish signals, he commented. And the day prior, crypto analyst Michal Venday Pop stressed the significance of 29 ,700 as he shared here. Bitcoin party starts when we break 29 ,700. Until then, it is just consolidation. Part of the day's analysis argued when Venday Pop subsequently added that Bitcoin was close to doing so. And quoting Rec Capital, Bitcoin is pressing beyond the 29 ,250 level, which is positive. But historically, we have seen upside wicking beyond this level to the 29 ,900 to 30 ,100 resistance area. He also says this time thus far, Bitcoin has upside wick to 32 ,000, 30 ,200 that is. Bearish is the rejection, is strong enough to push the price down to 29 ,250 and weekly close below there. However, if Bitcoin would be able to dip into 29 ,250 and hold it as support, that would be a more bullish price development. Now, let's discuss the whales getting active, analyzing the impetus for the higher spike. Observers soon noted increasing buying amongst various classes. A Bitcoin whales, as pointed out here by material indicators, fire chart shows the moment purple whales decided to convert a $20 million Bitcoin bid ladder into the market orders that started this rally yesterday, purple continued buying upwards of 50 million so far. And meanwhile, a brown mega whale just joined the party with a $2 million market buy order. And quoting SCU Analytics, shorts given up already. This bounce here on the low timeframe is driven by shorts closing out on coin margin and USDT margin over open interest down in perpetual delta CVD up, letting this low timeframe range balance out some more. And a SCU further noted whales require quite thick liquidity to exit or close positions. And most often this is during a squeeze event. Let me know if you agree or disagree with the analysts. Now I actually wanna share with you a tweet, which I shared on crypto Twitter, I believe just yesterday, which was getting a lot of buzz and traction regarding Max Kaiser and the recent censorship on YouTube against Bitcoin creators. I wrote the following, when I arrived to Twitter, September of 2019, I maybe only had a couple of thousand YouTube subs and my tweets got virtually zero engagement. Max Kaiser was the only influencer to retweet my content at the time, which provided me with a massive beacon of hope as he's always been hands down. My favorite Bitcoin content creator via the Kaiser report along with Stacy Herbert, the Kaiser report still to this day is the greatest financial news show to ever exist and credited with the very first international TV mention of Bitcoin back in 2011. Max literally called it the biggest story of the decade, quoting him here, this is the greatest achievement of the global insurrection against banker occupation. Bitcoin is the currency of the resistance. And he also said, YouTube took down 900 hours, 1800 episodes, 13 years of work, including the first extensive multi -year international coverage of Bitcoin via the Kaiser report because we've reported on some inconvenient truths and deep rooted corruption about the US economy and banking system. How many of you were fans of the Kaiser report and are missing the Kaiser report now that it has been scrubbed off of YouTube? Let me know in the comments right down below. And now what I wanna do is actually play for you an interesting soundbite, a rant that is classic of Max Kaiser and his rage against the bankers and central bankers, et cetera. This is classic Max Kaiser in his rarest form. So here we go. Wall Street is fraud, America is fraud, the world is fraud, banks are fraud, central banks are fraud, we live in an era of fraud. It's all based on fraud and they get a percentage of the fraud, that's the business model. To suggest that there is any moral or ethical aspect to anything that's going on now is to be completely naive about the fact that we live in an era dominated by financial terrorists. Terrorists, terrorists, jihadis of banking. They're here to kill you and themselves. They don't care because they're trained at madrasas called Princeton, Harvard, and Yale. They believe in an ideology, not the Koran, but Adam Smith, that they completely misread and interpret as something to justify their blowing themselves up. And the cost of terrorism is cheap. 9 -11 only costs $500 ,000. The ability to borrow money and take over a company by Warren Buffet is zero. He's borrowing money at zero. He's taking all those jobs away. He's creating economic destruction because they're fighting against terrorism. And that's the era that we live in today. Why are we gonna stop it? There's only one way to stop it. Race interest rates right now. Make the cost of terrorism too high. Do it today. If you don't, you're a fucking terrorist. Jada Yale is a terrorist. Mario Draghi is a terrorist. The Central Bank of Japan is a terrorist. These are the real terrorists, not the immigrants, not the people dying in the water. Hey. Hey. Hey. So yeah, massive shout out to Max Kaiser. He is the man, has been doing his thing for over a decade, warning people about the fiat corruption in our society. So you gotta give massive respect where respect is due. And with that being shared, now let's dive into our next story of the day and discuss Bitstamp, which is a crypto exchange delisting several altcoins, which is pretty interesting. Obviously for them to do that, they must be getting some pressure from regulators such as the SEC. So let's discuss which cryptos were just recently delisted off of Bitstamp and curious, how many of you have ever used this crypto exchange before? Do let me know. So here we go. Bitstamp says the decision comes as part of the continuous elevation of its crypto offerings taken into account the changing regulatory environment of the US. New orders for the seven cryptos to be disabled on August 29th and existing orders will be canceled according to the exchange. And it's interesting, will other exchanges do the same thing is the big question. However, US customers will be able to hold the asset in their Bitstamp accounts and withdraw them at any time. The exchange recommended users execute any desired buy or sell orders for the affected assets before the August 29th deadline, meaning you got 20 more days fam. So be quick about it. To ensure a smooth transition during the trading halt and after that date trading related to AXS, Chili's, Mana, Matic, NEAR, SAND and Solana will be permanently disabled for US customers on Bitstamp. So despite delisting those assets for US customers, Bitstamp noted it would continue offering up to 30 available cryptos to trade on its platform. The exchange said it remains committed to providing a comprehensive range of trading options even with the halt for US users. Now Bitstamp is not the first major crypto to platform to the list assets due to regulatory environment of the US. Earlier in the year trading platforms like eToro, Robinhood and Bakkt also remove support for certain cryptos. The harsh regulatory climate has led many exchanges to limit their offerings in order to comply with American rules and avoid potential legal issues. So there you have it, as the crypto crackdown as they entitled Crypto Choke Point 2 .0 continues. So yeah, you guys let me know. At the end of the show, I'll be reading everyone's comments out loud in our live and interactive Q &A session, which we do each and every day. Now for some big news coming from the Carlyle Group. I'm sure you have heard of them before. As you can see here, they share that Bitcoin isn't going away, says $385 billion Wall Street giant, the Carlyle Group, and you should be able to see my screen now. You can see here the chairman says the mighty BlackRock is willing to have a Bitcoin ETF. So maybe Bitcoin is going to be around a while longer. And I actually wanna play this clip for you here today. You should be able to see my screen. Let me grab this sound bite and you can hear it first and foremost coming directly from the Carlyle Group themselves. Here we go. This is perfectly timed because Novogratz has been the pinata of Bitcoin when it goes down. It's been the genius of Bitcoin when it goes up. And all of a sudden, Larry showed up at the door to say, hey, big, respectable firms can prosecute and do Bitcoin. Link Lawrence Fink of BlackRock to Mike Novogratz. Well, what's happened is people, as you suggest, make fun of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but now the establishment, Larry Fink at BlackRock, is now saying they're gonna have an ETF if approved by the government in Bitcoin. So you're saying, wait a second, the mighty BlackRock is willing to have an ETF in Bitcoin, maybe Bitcoin's gonna be around for a while. Lisa wants to jump in here, but I'm gonna cut to the news moment. Is Carlyle announcing this morning a Bitcoin advocacy? No, I don't think so. But there's no doubt that Bitcoin is something that I wish I had bought it at $100 a Bitcoin when Mike Novogratz started buying it. It's now at $29 ,000, so he's made a lot of money. And a lot of people who bought it at the $100 or less are feeling pretty good. Now, it went up as high as $61 ,000, I think, even down to $31 ,000 or even $29 ,000 now, it's still a pretty good profit if you bought it at $100. We all wish we would have bought it at $100. And to write it up, it's one thing for BlackRock to come up with an ETF because they believe the proposition of Bitcoin. It's another because they see a profitability proposition where they can basically take advantage of the interests other people have. I mean, isn't that more of what this is, that basically Wall Street is saying, if there is a market for it and we can viably make one for them and make some money, why not? Well, remember, Wall Street is in business to make money and this is something they can probably make money off. You have to remember, the United States government has been somewhat skeptical of it. I think Democrats in the Congress and particularly the people regulating the SEC are skeptical of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. And that is correct. His billionaire wishes he bought Bitcoin at $100. But outside the United States, there's a lot of interest in it. I think FTX really hurt when it went bankrupt and it hurt the crypto industry. But a lot of people around the world wanna be able to trade in a currency that their government can't know what they have and they wanna be able to move it around, rightly or wrongly. And so I don't think Bitcoin is going away. I think the Republicans on Capitol Hill have been pretty supportive of it. There's a difference between having a seamless cross -currency payment, basically saying that instead of going to Western Union, I can go and just transfer something in Bitcoin if it has a stable enough price. That's one proposition. But the proposition of Bitcoin as a store of value that could kind of be bid up the way that gold or silver could seems to have been parked with the advent of yield suddenly that you can get for actual money. I mean, isn't that sort of the feeling that you're getting? Well, there's no doubt that when interest rates are as high as they are, you don't need to have gold or other kinds of things to get you some solid return because when you get 5 % on treasuries, but eventually 5 % will be coming down at some point. I don't think Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies that are the better ones, the better known ones, Bitcoin and a number of others are gonna go away. There's enormous interest around the world in being able to have something you can transfer without the government knowing about it and keep it private. And you can say people shouldn't do that, but that's not gonna stop people from doing it. Mr. Novogratz and Mr. Gensler, what did you say about the efforts of our chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission? Gary Gensler, who's the chairman of the SEC is not a big fan of cryptocurrency, I think that's fair to say, but he lost a major case recently in court where he was trying to argue that one of the cryptocurrencies ripple was a security and he lost that case. So I think the SEC has not been able to convince these the government yet, or at least the courts that cryptocurrency is such a dangerous thing. And I remember a lot of people in the government now are thinking that Gary Gensler won't be the chairman of the SEC forever. I mean, these guys just wait them out, right? I think that's a strategy that's very popular in Washington, waiting out regulators you don't like. There you have it, you heard it from him first, waiting out regulators they don't like, such as Gary Gensler. So for BlackRock and the Carlyle Group to be all bullish in and all in on Bitcoin is obviously a pretty fricking big deal. So that goes to tell you what's about to come here in the future. And in a bit, we're gonna be covering Novogratz specifically about talking Bitcoin ETF likely being approved within the next six months, which means before the Bitcoin halving, which is obviously a big deal and we're all anticipating that as well for fireworks coming after that halving. So with that being shared, now let's actually break down our next story of the day and discuss this potential two year long rally according to Plan B, creator of the Bitcoin, Stock the Flow Model, here we go. And shout out to Plan B by the way. Closely followed quant analyst says, the Bitcoin has crossed the key resistance level that historically kicks off multi -year rallies. Synonymous analyst tells us almost 2 million followers on X. The Bitcoin's five month realized price crossed the two year realized price, which is a pattern that previously marked the start of the bull market three times in the past, quitting him here. Five month realized price is now above the two year realized price. If history is any guide, it will stay above for the next two plus years. Interesting times ahead. Now the realized price metric measures the value of all of its tokens as the price they were bought divided by the number of tokens in circulation. So during the bull market, the crypto king's price tends to remain above all its realized prices according to Plan B. He predicts the Bitcoin will not revisit prices below the 30 ,000 level if the bull rally is underway. Quitting him here on crypto Twitter, not buying Bitcoin at less than 30 ,000 now is like, not buying Bitcoin at less than 10 ,000 in 2019 and 2020, and not buying Bitcoin at under $500 in 2015, 2016, and not buying Bitcoin at under $10 in 2011 and 2012, life is all about choices, preach. Now Plan B is also keeping a close eye on the RSI, a widely used momentum indicator that aims to determine if an asset is overbought or oversold. He says the indicator is setting the stage for a big rally similar to that of 2015 as outlined here, like clockwork, exact same spot as October, 2015. The analyst previously predicted the Bitcoin would hit $50 ,000 before the next halving event, which is expected to be in April of 2024. Let me know if you agree or disagree with Plan B. With that being shared, now for the latest regarding the BlackRock ETF potentially being approved by the SEC within the next six months as per Mike Novogratz. Let's break this down. Here we go. US's first spot Bitcoin ETF could be approved sometime before February, according to Galaxy Digital CEO, Novogratz, citing sources at BlackRock and Invesco. Quitting him here, it's a big deal. It's a big deal because both our contracts from the Invesco side and from the BlackRock side get you to think that this is a question of when, not if. That the outside window is probably six months. Novogratz told shareholders during the Galaxy August 8th quarter two earnings call where the digital asset company reported a $46 million net loss as shared here. This is probably six to four months or four to six months if you had to put a pin to tell him the donkey on it that the SEC is going to approve a Bitcoin ETF. Novogratz's Galaxy Digital is one of the many contenders for a spot Bitcoin ETF, which it reapplied for in June in conjunction with the 1 .5 trillion asset manager, Invesco, the fourth largest ETF issuer in the US. And as Eric Valchunes points out here, according to contracts from inside BlackRock and Invesco spot Bitcoin ETF approval is a matter of when, not if. Likely in four to six months, Galaxy CEO Novogratz on the earnings call this morning. So that's quoting Novogratz directly. And speaking of shareholders, Novogratz said he wouldn't have a comment on the expecting timing of the ETF approval, which is an unknown as it sits in the SEC. Now, however, he believes that once approved, the spot Bitcoin ETF issuers such as BlackRock and Invesco will be fighting tooth and nail for market share. As he outlines here, the news of both BlackRock filing the ETF and quite frankly Invesco plus Galaxy, we are going to fight like cats and dogs to win the market share there once it gets approved. And in response to a question, Galaxy Digital President Chris Ferraro added that he wouldn't be surprised if the SEC ends up approving a potential Bitcoin ETF to avoid being labeled an obstructionist because they have no choice, right? They've been denying the ETF in the US for over a decade, just FYI, quoting him here. I think that's where the potential ETF approval comes in saying, hey, you can't call us anti -crypto, we just approved an ETF. And so we are hoping that that's the same for our filing. Meanwhile, some analysts believe the wave of spot Bitcoin ETFs could come sooner than later, depending on how the judge rules in Grayscale's lawsuit against the SEC. As you know, Grayscale last year sued the SEC for rejecting its app to convert its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust GBTC product into a spot ETF. As Craig Salom shares here, if the SEC loses its case against Grayscale, as we expect, the path of least resistance would be a wave of simultaneous approvals for all spot Bitcoin ETF apps, including Grayscale and the other eight active filings. Let me know which ETF you feel is likely to be approved first by the regulators. Now, analysts believe that should the SEC lose its case against Grayscale, the path of least resistance would be simultaneous approvals for several or all spot Bitcoin ETF apps, which include ARK Invest, Cathie Wood and all the ones previously mentioned here in this article. What are your thoughts though? Let me know in the comments right down below. Now let's discuss a potential $773 ,000 Bitcoin price target based off the BlackRock ETF and their partnership with Coinbase. This was actually predicted, I believe, in the latter of last year before there was even all of the recent news of BlackRock refiling for their spot ETF application. And then we'll dive into our live Q &A as soon as we finish this final story. So here you go. Popular crypto analyst breaks down how the partnership between two financial giants can trigger Bitcoin explosion to $773 ,000 per coin. If you'd like to see that turn into fruition, let me know in the comments. Last week, US -based crypto titan Coinbase announced teaming up with BlackRock, as we know is the largest asset manager in the world. And here's what Invest's answer, shout out to him, told his audience, if BlackRock just put a half a percent of their assets under management into Bitcoin using my multiplier, which is 21X, that will impact the market cap by over a trillion dollars, which will add about $75 ,000 to the Bitcoin price, taking it to 98 ,000 and a return on investment from today's price of 326%. This is very, very achievable. Now, if they allocate, let's say 1%, which of course will take time to get to that level, that would be adding 2 .1 trillion to the market cap, $150 ,000 to the price. And that would take the future price of Bitcoin to 173 ,000 per coin, which is a 652 % gain from here. And if they add 5%, which is what Dan Tapiero says, I think it is way too aggressive, but maybe over time, maybe in the next three to five years, that would be possible. That could take the Bitcoin price to $773 ,000 and the next three to five years pretty easily. Now, the crypto strategist's analysis was inspired by comments from 10T Holdings CEO, Dan Tapiero, and according to the prominent macro investor, the deal between BlackRock and Coinbase could propel the Bitcoin price above 250 ,000, quoting him again, chart that got BlackRock excited about the partnership with Coinbase, quoting them here alongside this chart, no bigger a macro opportunity for BlackRock than acting to facilitate Bitcoin adoption. A 5 % shift in BlackRock assets is $500 billion, greater than the Bitcoin value today. So the catalyst for the path to 250 ,000 -plus post -Bitcoin halving is becoming clear. So there you have it. Let me know if you agree or disagree with this analysis. And don't forget to check out CryptoNewsAlerts .net for the full premium experience with video and to participate in the live Q &A.

The Dan Bongino Show
Ask Candidates About Addressing the Police State
"Us in the face that I'd say probably one of my top five issues. My number one issue is most definitely the police state. The police state, well once the police state, the the cement is fully dry on that and we're almost there now. It's difficult if not impossible turn to it back. No one voluntarily relinquishes that kind of power. Joe Biden has automatically corrupted the United States government and its institutions. So the police state is the number one issue for me. It's also, you know, I get the question a lot from listeners, you know, what should we be asking these presidential candidates, congressional candidates? the The first question you should be asking is what they're going to do about the police state because if we don't fix that, and what I mean by that is very specifically the weaponization of law enforcement and moving them from a public safety function into a political one. Once that happens, once that chasm is crossed, it so that's probably been probably my number one issue and an actual plan, an actual plan to do it. I don't want to hear just about draining the swamp another
Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from Week in Review - Episode 17
"Welcome to the Week in Review podcast, a presentation of The Mike Gallagher Show and what a wild week it has been. The ups, the downs, it started out with the Biden family and then, of course, it culminated with the indictment of Donald Trump again. A wild week. I hope you're buckled in and I hope you're ready for the ride that we are on. Former Hunter Biden business associate Devin Archer's congressional testimony has confirmed that Biden is a bald faced liar when he said he had absolutely no knowledge about his son's business dealings. In closed door House testimony yesterday, Biden's close, dear former dear friend and business partner, Devin Archer, said Hunter Biden put Joe Biden on the phone with business associates 20 roughly times. Remember, Joe Biden has continually denied that he knew anything at all about Hunter Biden's shady business dealings. Here is Karl Rove yesterday on Fox News Channel. There was corruption right from the get go and the fact that the vice president, then vice president, now president thinks that it's his to advantage to say I never talked to my son about his business. He should have talked about him and said, son, you're involved in a corrupt company. I'm in charge of the policy of the United States government to discourage corruption in Ukraine and you're embarrassing me. You and Devin Archer ought to get the heck out of there. And instead we had this mealy mouthed explanation by Goldman that, oh, we never saw him talking about business deals. Well, what the heck was he doing on the phone? What do you think Hunter wanted him on the phone for? To say, remember, my dad is the vice president of the United States. I'm a big dog. He's a big dog. Do business with us. That's exactly what it was all about. We all know what has been going on. The Biden family has been selling its name for money for years. Some could argue that when you're the vice president of the United States, that's, that's an un -American, perhaps even traitorous thing to do. To use your name and sell it to foreign adversaries like China in order to line your family's pockets. Of course we should be impeaching. And when my friend this morning admitted that the impeachments hurt Trump politically to some degree, maybe not fatally, I don't know. It couldn't have helped. You think an impeachment helps a president? You think it would look good for Joe Biden to be impeached? Let the Democrats dismiss it the way we dismissed the Trump impeachment. It doesn't change anything. Doesn't change a thing. 1 -800 -655 -MIKE. Welcome aboard. It's Tuesday. We're in the Relief Factor Studio's first day of August. Can you believe it? August the 1st, 2023. We're in for a ride here. We are in for a ride. Devin Archer is saying that Hunter touted the Biden brand. It was all about the brand. Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, presidential candidate, in an interview with Bret Baier last night pointed out that if this were anybody else but Hunter Biden, they'd already have this guy behind bars. Well, this is why we say there's two standards of justice. If Hunter were a Republican, he'd be in jail by now. You look at all this smoke and yet the FBI, where's the search warrants? Where's the grand jury? Where's the aggressiveness that they've shown going after some Republicans? You just don't see it. Including former President Trump. Including former President Trump. I mean, compare how they handled the Mar -a -Lago. They went through everything they could to get any piece of information. They are not doing that with Hunter. Of course, they didn't do it with Hillary back in 2016. So we look at that. But look at all the possible corruption. I mean, Hunter, he's selling paintings for over a million dollars. My six -year -old daughter does better paintings than him. Maybe we'll put ours up and see what kind of things she can fix. I don't think you're going to get a million dollars on it. It's just, it's amazing. The point is, you can't outdo this guy. No matter who you are, you're not going to out -Trump Trump. There is only one guy. And it's this guy. The Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, has said that he is, he believes that we're on the verge of opening an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. What do you think about this? I mean, obviously you've gone through it twice. Do you think Joe Biden should be impeached? They impeached me over a perfect phone call. This guy's stolen millions of dollars and done worse than that. I mean, look at what he's done to the country with the inflation, with the energy, with taking away people's rights, with the DOJ, weaponized DOJ. No, I mean, they impeached me over a perfect phone call. And here's a guy stolen millions of dollars and done other things that are so bad. Our country is in a position where it's just, it's so sad to see what's happening. I mean, is that, you think they should proceed? I don't want to comment on it, but you know, I think people understand. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. We'll see what they do. Let them make their decision. But they should do the proper thing. Let them make their decision. Meanwhile, the political wheels keep turning and turning and churning away. There's a narrative that has emerged that Ron DeSantis is too unlikeable to get the GOP nomination. Now, it's not a secret that I'm a Trump guy, but I'm also willing to support whoever the Republican nominee is determined to be by the voters. Why is Ron DeSantis having this narrative emerge? I talked about a back and forth I had with a friend of mine who happens to be a never Trumper. I mean, here's a headline at Axios. Trump is looking really hard, looks like it's really hard to beat him. I have a back and forth that I've shared with you for years with Pete Wehner. Pete Wehner worked for the Reagan administration, the Bush administration, speechwriter, policy guy. He's a really good guy. He's a spiritual man, happens to be a never Trumper, hates Donald Trump with the heat of a thousand suns, the heat of a thousand suns. But here's what Pete's assessment is of the DeSantis campaign and these new polls that just came out. My gosh. I mean, here's the headline from Axios, new poll Trump looks hard to beat. Trump crushes his GOP rivals, leading Ron DeSantis by a landslide 37 points nationally among likely primary voters in the first New York Times, Siena College poll of the 2024 campaign. Trump's at 54%, DeSantis is at 17. Here's what Pete says about the state of affairs. I don't think he'll mind if I share his comments with you in an email. He said, the problem is that people aren't buying what DeSantis is selling, most especially himself. He's intensely dislikable, Pete believes, and not particularly talented politically. And I don't see that changing. As I've said from the beginning, he was hugely overvalued. It's possible Trump collapses, though highly unlikely. If he does, I'd expect someone other than Ron DeSantis to emerge, but it would be a chaotic scramble to be sure. Now, do you think Pete's right? You think his assessment is correct? See, here's my disconnect about Ron DeSantis. And I admit it. I admit this. I don't feel the contempt for Ron DeSantis when I see him interviewed that others apparently feel. You know, a lot of people have an agenda. You know, I've got an agenda. It's an America first agenda. I want this country to win. And under the Democrat leadership, we're losing. We're losing big time. But I want, I'm going to be behind any Republican who gets the nomination. But ultimately, I don't know who that's going to be. What I know is Ron DeSantis has been an excellent, exceptional governor. Ron DeSantis checks every box when it comes to domestic and foreign policy. So maybe Pete's right. Maybe Pete is, I mean, Ron DeSantis is unlikable. I saw a video clip over the weekend. He was talking to a little kid about eating a slushie or an icee. And he says, there's a lot of sugar in that, ha ha ha. And then he was mocked by a lot of people saying he's awkward and he's phony and he's not likable. And listen, he doesn't have the charisma or the bombastic personality of Donald Trump.
The Bitboy Crypto Podcast
A highlight from BINANCE BANK RUN! (US Government SAVES Crypto Investors)
"If the United States government could collapse Binance tomorrow, they would, and they would screw you in the process, and they wouldn't think twice about it. Welcome to BitBoy Crypto! My name is Ben. And today, let me tell you, we got an absolute massive story for you guys. So huge. Guys, according to Watch Your Guru, we have this news. The Department of Justice is considering going after Binance. That's right. They're considering going after Binance and CZ. It's the first time we've heard of this. You know, nobody has told us that. Nobody's mentioned that. You know, the first time we've ever heard that Binance could be in trouble, you know. But, oh, here's the good news. Here's the good news. The good news is that the government has decided to return to this point here. Sorry. I gotta get my seatbelt. Come on, seatbelt. Come on, seatbelt. Give me some room, seatbelt. There we go. The government has decided that they're a little concerned about going after Binance for criminal activity and fraud. Why? Is it because they don't have evidence? No, no, no. Is it because they don't want to go after Binance? No, no, no, no. Why are they scared to go after Binance? Well, they're scared to go after Binance because, apparently, according to the government, they're scared that if they go after Binance, there will be a bank run. Oh! Everybody's going to take their money out of Binance if the government goes after them. I mean, obviously, this is obviously going to happen. The US government, because there's so many United States governments, you know, United States citizens around the world that have moneyinbinance .com. So I just want to say Gary Gensler, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Janet Yellen, Jerome Powell, all the famous Democrats exist out there because they already control the government. I just want to say thank you so much for stopping, for absolutely stopping American citizens and holders of Binance from losing all of our money because of a bank run. Guys, can you imagine anything more fraudulent or stupid or ridiculous than that? How low IQ do these people think that we are? How low IQ do they think the average person is? Do you not understand? Do you not see the orchestrated campaign by literally the United States government to after go Binance, and now they're telling you that if they go after Binance, it'll collapse, and the reason they're not doing that is because American citizens will lose money, and American investors will lose money on a platform that nobody's even invested in! What a crock! Now, let me tell you what this says to me. What this says to me is what does the government always try to do here in the United States? Try to make themselves look good. Speaking of looking good, you know one thing that looks good other than me? Even though I know I do look freaking great.

Folks, welcome to The Eric Mataxas Show sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacypminvestments .com.

It's nummy. I want vanilla. I want, I want vanilla. Here comes Eric Mataxas. Folks, welcome back. This is hour two. We continue the conversation with General Flynn. General Flynn, you were just saying some big stuff. And we're going to have to, you said, let's assume victory. Now again, we can't assume victory, but assuming victory as we war game this through here. Let's say we get enough citizens to guard the vote. We're on to the tricks. We understand that the Democrats now win elections by stealing elections. It is ugly. It's hard to face that in America we've come to this place. But if you don't face it, you're a fool. So we face it. We deal with it. We do what needs to be done. And assuming that Trump were to get into office, the idea would be, you were just saying this, we have to have major, utterly unprecedented in our lifetime government reform. We have seen the horror. It's like you buy a house and now you know the termites are eating this beam. And this is happening and that's happening. We need to rip this stuff out. The deep state, as we now know because of what happened to you, has taken over the government that belongs to we the people. In order to get our government back in the most fundamental sense, how do we get rid of those forces in the deep state? They are at war with freedom. They're at war with we the people that are militarized politically against what Trump represents. Because it's not Trump. It's what he represents. It is we the people. It is the founders' vision. They're at war with that. They're in bed with the globalist elites who don't give a tinker's damn about America on the founders' vision. So what would we need to do and how would we do it? What they're at war with is our Constitution. These people want to get rid of our Constitution. A couple of things. There are people in government who just need to be told, thank you for your service. When you go into your office tomorrow, I want you to clean your desk out and turn your badge in and go home and go find a job someplace else. Thank them. Because there's a lot of secretaries. There's a lot of bureaucrats at the lower levels who are just sort of following along and doing the thing. But there are entire departments that we need to be, in some cases, shut down. Like Department of Education. Goodbye. Goodbye to the Department of Education. Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter is the one that created the Department of Education. It's a complete disaster. That would be one of the first places. I thought actually it was Richard Nixon who did that. You might be right. But it was a naive time in American politics. That's one of those places you close the door on. The second thing is, and all these things that I'm talking about are simultaneous. And these are not that difficult to do. The other couple of places are the federal component, so Washington, D .C. component of the Department of Justice. I the know complete makeup of that organization. It doesn't mean that we shut down the attorneys generals around the country. But the way the structure inside of Washington, D .C., there are some parts of that organization that just need to be shut down and go away. The Department of Defense. The Department of Defense, inside the Department of Defense, the numbers are staggering. I won't get into all the numbers. But the mission of the Department of Defense is to prepare for, fight, and win our nation's wars. And the key word there is win. Not participate in these endless wars that these rhinos and these, you know, there's neo -liberals and there's neo -cons. On both sides, they love these wars. And that's what Eisenhower warned about when he talked about the military industrial complex. So those are three big departments. And there are some other components of departments. We also have agencies, activities, and commissions, as well as the intelligence community. Because when I talk about the FBI as an example, the FBI is a component of the Department of Justice. It's a subordinate organization. I mean, the FBI is another organization that could be completely shut down. It is not in our Constitution. We have 900 ,000 law enforcement professionals around this country. We still have them in the federal level. I mean, Secret Service, the Marshall Service. But we have states and local and city police forces that do wonderful work. And they absolutely can't stand having the FBI show up and say, you know, we're the FBI and we're in charge. So the FBI is another component within the Department of Justice, particularly in Washington, D .C., that needs to be completely shut down. I mean, that's a big thing. That's a big thing. Before you go on, I just want to say, ladies and gentlemen, that is a big thing that will be hard to do. But I have been calling on Twitter for over a year. Defund the FBI. Don't defund the police. Defund the FBI. They are a rogue organization. They're out of control. They were in many ways bad news under Hoover, who was a power monger, unelected. But they did a lot of good work. A lot of the guys, you know, the main guys who were doing the work did good work. But we have seen what has become of the FBI, and we need to take radical action. I mean, the FBI, to be simplistic, the FBI used to have really good cops. Now they've become known as thugs, and that's not a good place to be. So those are a couple of bins within the federal government. And I think that the other big piece is the intel community, right, the intel community, which I have a lot of knowledge of. And inside of the intel community, we have got to break this marble up, okay, this big marble up. And the main, what they used to call agates, right, the agates, the big, big agate marbles. The big one is the CIA. And the CIA is culturally, is so corrupt, and intellectually, frankly, it's not that good. They have not been right about anything that we have been fighting in for probably the last 30 years. And in fact, many cases, they have caused some of these wars, these endless wars that we were involved in. And it really does go back to a guy like JFK, who rose up. And JFK, I was listening to some videos of him this morning. And I'm thinking to myself, God, this man would be a diehard Republican today, be a diehard conservative today, thinking what we now know the CIA has done. And this is principally the CIA, because there's other elements of our intel agencies that do fine work, but they've also grown too big. So again, what we're going to need, and frankly, it doesn't really require Congress to say, well, we're not going to give you this money or that money. No, the executive authority of the President of the United States, with executive power granted to him or her by the Constitution of the United States of America, gives the full authority for the President of the United States to make any decisions that they want about the executive branch of the United States government. So all these things that I'm talking about are all doable. What it's going to take is it's going to take courage, it's going to take, you know what, I mean, it's going to take a bold group of people, like the founders were, early on in an administration, and you just start to say, again, you start to close the doors, you literally lock the doors, and you tell people, thank you for your service. We're going to give you a 30 -day stipend or a 60 -day stipend. I mean, we can do these things. But this is why—we have a final segment coming up with General Flynn right after the break, but I want to say, General Flynn, this is why they needed to take you out and they needed to take out Trump, because they knew that it was game over. You know where the bodies are buried. You know what needs to be done. They will not let this happen. They will do everything and anything. They will steal elections. They will lie. They have done these things. They will do these things worse, because the level of desperation on their part, they see when you say stuff like this, they know it is absolutely anything goes. They will do anything, including put a bullet in the head of anybody they don't like, as they did with JFK. We are in a war. It's ultimately a spiritual war, folks. We need to pray for this nation. Stand strong. We'll be right back. Final segment with General Flynn.

John Zmirak Shares His Thoughts on the Wide-Open Southern Border
"All through the weekend, we kept hearing news about the border. And I thought, on Monday morning, I've got to ask John about the border, I still don't particularly understand what exactly is happening. If anyone can say what exactly is happening. But what are your general thoughts? And then we can get into some particulars. Sure. The border is essentially open from the American point of view from the Mexican point of view it's controlled by the cartels, which are human traffickers and drug smugglers. We have ceded sovereignty of the U.S. border, not even to the Mexican government, but to Mexican criminal gangs. It's that simple. Okay, John. So when people say that, like, I know that's true. I know you're not making that up. But then the question becomes, how is that possible? How is it possible that you have a United States government that would allow anything even close to what you just said? How does that become possible? Well, first, I'll give you the legal loopholes through which it happens. Okay. The border is crawling with Soros Soros type attorneys, attorneys who are funded by nonprofits by organizations that make money from the U.S. government spending money on immigrants, legal and illegal. One of the worst is Catholic charities, which is neither Catholic nor a charity. It is about a Catholic Planned Parenthood. Catholic charities exist to suction to Hoover up federal money and give some of it to the bishops.

Proud Boys and Oath Keepers Face Severe Sentencing for Capitol Attack
"Why don't you tell us who was sentenced and what their sentences are or are likely to be? So in terms of the sentences for seditious conspiracy, four members of the Proud Boys were found guilty of that extremely rare statute that was established during the Civil War to stop the confederacy from overtaking the United States government. It has been weaponized to criminalize political dissent. Or Proud Boys found guilty of seditious conspiracy last week. You have numerous oath keepers who have also been convicted and or pleaded guilty to that charge. What happened to date after the verdicts were announced, Dennis is Matthew grace, the D.C. U.S. attorney posted a 183 page sentencing recommendation for the oath keepers, including Stuart Rhodes, its founder and leader. And the prison sentence is that Matthew graves wants the judge to approve. Matthew graves once 25 years in prison for Stuart Rhodes for being convicted of seditious conspiracy in other counts. 20 years in prison for another man, Kelly Meg, who went inside the building. Now keep in mind, short roads never went inside the building, none of them carried or used weapons. None of them assaulted police officers. These are strictly conspiracy and obstruction counts. And Dennis, what really turned my stomach is Matthew graves wanting 14 years in prison for a man named Thomas Caldwell, who is almost 70 years old, who is a decorated disabled navy lieutenant commander who used to have the highest security clearance. He also never went into the building. He was convicted of obstruction of an official proceeding, a post enhanced statute, by the way, and tampering with evidence. And these ghouls in the Department of Justice is particularly Matthew graves, the Biden campaign adviser and Biden appointee wants someone like Thomas Caldwell to die in prison. Because he was convicted by a D.C. jury of obstructing an official proceeding.

The Real Cost of Achieving Carbon Neutrality
"They're talking about being carbon neutral by what was a 2050 mister producer In about 25 years if we spend $50 trillion and it's more than that As those expenses resonate throughout the economy it's much more than that It's hard to believe but it is What he's saying there is even when we're done Because of the rest of the world we will not be carbon neutral Let's take it another step What does that mean What it means is the extent to which the United States government becomes a police state And controls your life and your lifestyle By claiming to have the ability to control the climate Man-made A man-made and man has to deal with him That not only will they be changing our form of government and our economic system now but forever Even if we in the United States are carbon neutral Whatever the hell that means I don't even know what that means Not because I'm stupid because they don't know what it means I can get show you that Joe Biden doesn't know what it means He doesn't even know what carbon is but that said What the deputy secretary there is actually saying is there will be no limit ever ever To our power to re-engineer to rejigger human nature None And that will be our new constitution

Rep. Dan Bishop Lays Out GOP Strategy for the Debt Ceiling Battle
"Bishop, welcome to the program. Thanks, Charlie, good to be with you again. Congressman bishop, for those of us including myself, who are not totally caught up to speed on the debt ceiling. Just walk us, we have some time. So walk us, what is the debt ceiling? And what is the debate surrounding it? And then we'll get further into the details. So by law for many, many years, there's been Congress can spend more money in appropriations bills, but to the extent the federal government's entire borrowings need to increase because there's no more room, there's a debt ceiling and Congress and the United States government can not incur more indebtedness unless Congress lifts that debt ceiling. So a conservative, as we've seen debt, okay, I think we lost congressman. We're going to try to reconnect there. As and so effectively, you have to raise the debt ceiling by law by statute. But sometimes the budget bills are disconnected from the debt ceiling increase. Congressman, do we have you back? Yeah, I'm sorry about that. Charlie, I don't know what happened. But please continue. Yeah, so this is we're hitting one of those points in time and of course what Joe Biden wants to do with the Democrats having spent multiple trillions of dollars without any Republican votes is we're up against the new limit and they want us to pass what they call a clean debt ceiling increase. We would just say, oh, okay. You can spend another two or $3 trillion more than in debt or incur that additional debt in order to feed the spending frenzy in Washington. Well, a new share in town. This majority of 218, particularly given the work we did in January to lay down some principles that we were going to adhere to before we elected the speaker, we're not going to pass any clean debt ceilings in the house. And so what we've been working on here is to get a proposal passed on the floor of the House and the leadership calls at the limit save and grow act and that has come together. We've been working on it insistently. It is a very complicated process of getting 218 members to be prepared to support it. And we wanted it, we insisted that it be robust.

You Won't Believe Where Top Secret Classified Documents Are Being Leaked and It's Not Where You Think!
"So from the time that these documents were beginning to be circulated on this app Discord back in January of this year, the United States government astoundingly did not know that this was happening. In fact, they did not learn about the circulation of these top secret classified documents until March. I'm reading from this morning's Wall Street Journal quote, the documents stayed among the members of the tiny group on the Discord, messaging platform until early March when another user reposted several dozen of them to another group with a larger audience. From there, at least ten files migrated to a much bigger community, focused on the Minecraft computer game. Yes, folks, this is really happening in our country, where top secret classified documents are being exposed and circulated on apps where people are talking about Minecraft. A sign of our times. So again, the U.S. government only became aware of this leak in March. And they only became aware of it when our adversary exposed that this leak had occurred. A Russian propaganda account on telegram posted some of these documents, and they actually posted several documents that they themselves, the Russians doctored, including one document in which Russia changed the numbers to inflate Ukraine's death count in the war and minimize Russia. So they are sending this around to their people via Russia propaganda tools and saying, hey, look, this is a U.S. classified document. They of course doctored it, but they are using this to their advantage to make it seem like even we, the United States believe that they are winning the war, which does not appear to be true at this very moment.

I am happy to say representative Biggs of Arizona who's not in my I'm not in his district, but it doesn't matter. Has proposed that we get out of WHO. Now, that Bill has to be supported right now last time I checked, there were about 20 co sponsors. We need a lot more co sponsors, and we need a matching bill in the Senate to get us out of WHO and the United Nations the way it's done is a bill, a joint resolution would be nice, but a bill in the house and a bill in the Senate, which is then sent to the desk of the president or whoever happens to be sitting in the Oval Office chair behind the desk. And that person writes a letter, says to the secretary general of each of those organizations, we're not there anymore, we're out, and then we're out. Now, that can be done. What it takes is millions of people sending emails making phone calls and exerting political will. How do I know that works? Because the natural solutions foundation has done this before. There was a mandated swine flu vaccination program, which was in fact a depopulation program that we can talk about that if you like, but that was in 2009.

John Solomon Discusses China's Treaty Violations and the Wuhan Lab
"Is COVID origin secrets near the classification that in itself is exciting. Wuhan a lab's ties to China military burst into focus, talk to us about the latest things we need to know about our country, our government and the military biodefense lab in communist China, John. It's extraordinary. So no matter where we end up on whether the COVID-19 virus leaked from the lab or not, obviously the FBI energy department House intelligence committee Senate health committee all believe it did and growing other number of intelligence committees believe that. But here's the bigger question. No matter what happened with COVID-19, there is now irrefutable proof that the United States government has known since 2005 that China was violating its own treaties to not do offensive biological weapons they had an offensive biological weapons program. It was based in the Chinese People's Liberation Army at an entity called the academy of military medical sciences specifically the 5th institute. The State Department declared that in a document in 2005. Over the decade after they made that declaration, wide open evidence that the MMS that academy we just talked about was working with the Wuhan institute of virology, the place where we think the COVID-19 virus worked on. What were they working on? On Anthony Fauci's own site. On the NIH, you can find this. There was a study on anthrax. There was a study, a book, a book that said, coronaviruses as a class are going to be the leading edge of a new era of genetic warfare. That's the Chinese words, not mine. Those are the sort of things that were going on between scientists at the Wuhan institute of virology. And the academy of military medical sciences in China, the place that we said was the epicenter of an illicit bioweapons program, despite all that knowledge, despite all that evidence, no one in the intelligence committee, no one in the national Institutes of health. No one in the State Department stopped it. Millions of dollars flowed from U.S. agencies to the Wuhan institute of virology. And now we're hearing maybe also directly to the academy, the

So at the moment he is not coming, but that could. Approach him out. I would pay for it. You're talking about Trump, by the way. That's Nancy Pelosi. The highest ranking government official in the entire United States government to threaten violence on January 6th was Nancy Pelosi. They're waiting for this for trespassing on the capital grounds. And I'm going to go to jail and be happy. I'm going to punch him out. I'm going to go to jail. I'm going to be happy. All right, so that was the footage that Pelosi family released last year. And of course, no special investigations into her, no threatening the president of the United States, no Secret Service visit. None of that. No Nancy Pelosi, totally fine because she's Nancy Pelosi. She lives by different roles. Government officials held the different standards than the rest of us, especially if they're Democrats. But then I was in a Pelosi, isn't interesting detail. You know, Pelosi has been trying to do documentary coverage of January 6, as I explained. And during this process, she sought interviews. Did you know that she saw interviews with some of the J 6 defendants, you know, the people who were thrown in a D.C. jail for trespassing in the capitol building? She wanted to chat with them. She wanted to have them on camera. It's funny. In one of these stories, one of these conversations that she was attempting to have in order to set up the interview, she was trying to convince the representatives of this defendant, this J 6 defendant that she was kind of on their side. Alexander Pelosi was. And in fact, was trying to convince them that she didn't really think that J 6 was that big of a deal. Not Nancy Pelosi, Alexandra Pelosi pulls his daughter, this is Pelosi's family. Here she is, chatting with the reps for a J 6 defendant. Kind of commenting on how silly and absurd the

Yeah, they were being very polite. That's the official word from the United States government. It's very adamant saying it is not a cancellation but a postponement. This is a secretary Antony Blinken. Any country that has its airspace violated in this way, I think would respond similarly. And I can only imagine what the reaction would be in China if they were on the other end. And Bloomberg Sean Liu says a Chinese have changed tone saying that it's considering what retaliation is appropriate now moving away from apology. Moving away from being relatively contrite to becoming much more confrontational. Obviously, China is saying that that balloon belongs to a civilian company. Beijing over the weekend say it reserves the right to protect the rights of that company and to take additional action. I think that just underlines how much pressure there is on both sides, both governments that show they are being tough. John says I make relations even more cloudy in the near term. So recovery efforts underway to recover the equipment that flew below the balloon at almost 60,000 feet and China has changed its response from apologizing to saying the U.S. overreacted. New Hampshire governor and also potential candidate for president Chris sununu is criticizing the president's timing in shooting it down. There were clearly opportunities to take care of to take care of the balloon before it finally got over the Atlantic. There are reports that they saw it coming in from the Pacific that it was coming in over the forest that it was coming in over the aleutian islands. So there was a lot of opportunity to take care of this before it ended up in Montana, and they realized, oh gee, we have a problem.

"For more money from the United States government when they haven't given us a single piece of accounting on anything they spent. I mean, we've spent a $100 billion in blank checks. There's no accountability whatsoever. No oversight whatsoever. And meantime, our European allies are continuing to sandbag. We have spent more on Ukraine than all of the Europeans put together. And it's on their continent. Quick conversation with the panel on this, Rick Davis, does that cry get louder in the Republican Senate? I think actually it might backfire. President zelensky did such a fine job. And he impressed so many people, especially conservative Republicans who might have even been starting to maybe listen to the Josh hawley's part of the Putin crowd. And I think he pushed that back hard. And so I actually think that you've seen a rally around Ukraine in the end of this year that will move into next year. Now, obviously, next year, we don't know what's going to happen and certainly this 45 billion that's in the current spending package will take the Ukrainians a long way into next year as far as mounting a defense against the Russian invasion, but I actually think these voices for Putin are going to isolate themselves. Vladimir Putin is going to make it harder and harder for them to sound like they are encouraging him. And so I think it actually may backfire. Do progressives stay in the lane they're in right now, Jeannie or does this become a problem on the other side of the aisle? You know, I do think we will hear from progressives and they have a right point to make that, you know, what is the endgame here?

Obviously a portion of them are latching onto wherever this deal. Warmer information came from. But i feel like we need to get a bead on matt to know. Where were these people who because of gerrymandering and other stupid voting restrictions determine the fate of the gd country. I mean we've created these political genetic mutants Through processes like gerrymandering where we've essentially ingrained certain Insane beliefs in very strong minorities. And i wonder you know post capital riots. I think what everyone was thinking would happen. Is that there would be like some concerted effort by the incoming administration to remedy or speak to or investigate. This thing that resulted in an attempted overthrow of the united states government that is unprecedented in the modern age. And it seems like what we've chosen to do is ignore it which is not i would argue the smart thing to do and i would tend to agree with you there. it's You'd think we'd look that a little bit more but we we really didn't and some of the things that are coming out from. These people are very very scary now. I think it speaks to the current state of the systems that we have in place that are bought and sold by corporations and the powers is consolidated in these places where they they appeal to.

"And we'll talk about the latest wrinkle and President Biden's proposed tax hikes? But first if you're nearing retirement, I'm sure you're liking this bull market. But you're also probably asking how much longer can it last write a piece and market Watch warns that future returns are likely to be mediocre. If that's true, Brian, How do we make sure that those mediocre returns? Don't torpedo our retirement income? Yeah, that's true. I mean, you look back. The last 10 years and you go. Wow, this thing did 10 12% and I'm telling my clients. Let's just try to cut that in half. Let's not realistically expect that going for managing expectations. I don't see it. We were coming out of the 2000 and 2009 recession. We haven't had a recession since then. And technically since they started recording recessions that are reserved, I think 1913 when they started recording recessions, there's been one every seven years. So we're a little overdue. And so it's not the scary thought I know is there's always the booms. And then there's the bus. Right? And so we've got a boom right now. Real estate is on fire as you know, right, And so was the stock market isn't is on fire right now. I keep waiting for it to go now. Isn't it stayed above 23,000 for a long time, right? Yeah. So you've got Issues, though, with thinking that it's going to be like this forever, right? I'm just going to get 15% returns or 12% returns every year. And so you've got to really And actually, there's some time periods. You look at the dowel over 20 some years. There's a lot of spots there were four or 5% 20 years. That's going to make it break some people's retirement. So a lot of people retiring early with not enough money. That's the biggest problem. I think I see. They're coming in here with under half a million dollars thinking I got plenty of money. They don't have any pensions. Their Social Security is not big and it's hard for me to tell them, But I don't think you're gonna have enough, right. And so what do you do about that? Well, you need to work longer Take more risk in the market. What other thing can you do? There's tax planning things you can do. But you can't really. And if the folks live well below their means, then it can't happen, right? What about the time? $500,000 sounded like a ton of money. Did it just It doesn't goes edges. It's not. They're selling boats. You know, you can go to Smith Mountain Lake. You'll see boats running around there for 150. Oh, yeah. $5000 basket boats. 70 80 $10,100. Yeah. So those wake surf boats that are flying around there are that's a house, right? My first house was 90,000, right. Nice three bedroom. Too bad. Yeah. Yeah, So it's been half a million dollars something a lot, but over. I mean, if you're going to live to be 85, you can stretch that amount of money. It's hard to the bath is really a struggle for folks because they go well. If I took 4% of 20,000, I got so security between my wife and myself. As you know, there's another 30,000. So I got I got $50,000. I'm good. You got to pay taxes on that. And that's assuming that you can take 4%. What if the market declines for seven years? Your account values will go down. There's something called sequence of returns, and this article isn't really talking about that. But we talk about sequence from terms when you are, sir. Let's say you retired in two years, and everything was still cooking with gas like it is now and then also the market just tanks and you are taking out income. And there's a minus 10 on minus 20 another minus 15 3 years in around. You're taking income out. You retired. Remember your fishing everything. You've done it now, right? You made the move. Yeah, Yeah, You're not going back. Yeah, So you're taking an income when it's dropping in value. It's called secrets returns. They're actually teaching and financial planning colleges all over the country now, because it's a real problem. It's like, okay, the math. You start looking at and you go. Wow. You never recover from it. And it's not a fear mongering thing. We can show you 18 different ways to show you. You can have a really good rate of return. Still get 8% rate of return, But you ran out of money. Mm hmm. Who doesn't want 89% rate of return, right? But if the market went up the same year, same time, right? You retired. And you still got that 8% over the 20 years. You were so successful. Yeah, but it's just all timing. Do you know if it's going to be a bull market or bear market? You retire? Well, no, I mean, nobody knows right. And that's the point. I think it is articles like Well, are we coming up on that and all these people are seeing their account balances go up. I'm finally there. I can finally retire. That's what happened in 2000 and eight A lot of people had to go back to work. I hate to feel pessimistic, but I keep pointing for the stock market. Just crash. I really do. I know that sounds terrible, but I keep waiting for it to go down. They don't wish it okay. Yeah, thanks. The Fed says All these higher prices were paying are to be expected because the economy has returned to normal. Ali. INS economist Mohamed El Aryan tells CNBC he is concerned. We have no historical experience where the Fed has been late, and we haven't ended up in a recession. That's what worries me. I don't think inflation is transitory, and I worry about the Fed being late in responding. So if inflation is not transitory, that means it's here to stay. That's that's a long time. Problem. Yeah, I mean, they got to stop printing money out of thin air. And it's like the Fed has to stop. The United States government has to stop. Inflation is here right now sound like Oh, you know, I think we're going to have inflation. No. Go buy a house or try to build a house. We're in the middle of we're probably next month or you're gonna get bids on our new office building. And I'm talking to some contractors and like you better sit down. When you get these bids, it's not us. Our labor rates are about the same. The materials are through the roof. Yep. And so that's inflation and it's here. And so you've got the same wages. Did you get a big bonus in the last year or two? No. No but inflation guy, right? Yeah, exactly. So I think what he's saying is that the Fed doesn't have to. Now. What does that mean to you? You have to invest your money We see so many times. Folks that come in with we got lazy money just sitting around Not doing anything. 200 year. 305 100. Have you seen over a million sitting in cash for years and cash money market right. It could be in an account like an fidelity Vanguard Charles Schwab or some bank brokerage. But it's not invested. You know why they don't have to do well, You told me it was like, What's that cash doing? What are you doing with that was like it's in my account, or like Okay. Can we do something with that? Yeah..

"Now here's Rick Hettleman. Welcome back to the wreck. Gentleman show. Thanks for hanging around this half hour. We're talking about Bitcoin, Blockchain and digital assets. And as I've been saying, throughout this program really important, you listen to the entire show, because if you only listen to a portion It'll be like watching a five minute clip of a two hour movie, you might be misled. You might reach a wrong conclusion, either about the fact that movie stinks or whether it's a mystery or a comedy or a thriller or horror movie. So it's really important as we talk about this that you get the big picture. If you don't have the opportunity to listen to the entire program today, I encourage you to download the podcast, which you can access at Ric Edelman dot com So you can hear the entire program. In its entirety because we're talking not only about the current state of Bitcoin and Blockchain and digital assets, but also regulation, Central bank digital currencies, investments, scams and risks. Last hour. We finished talking about the regulatory environment. The fact that governments are now recognizing Bitcoin isn't going away, so we better get our arms around it for the protection of consumers and investors. But our government's threatened by Bitcoin Not really. Which is why they're willing to regulate it instead of abolish it. Why aren't governments threatened by Bitcoin? Well for the same reason that governments aren't threatened by gold or oil or real estate, or stocks or bonds, Bitcoin and other digital assets are simply proving themselves to be Exactly that assets and assets have value. Those values fluctuate in the marketplace based on investor interest in consumer demand, and the regulators just want to make sure that investors are being dealt with fairly that their security's if that's what they are, are being managed effectively and that there is a risk of theft or loss. And that investors have proper disclosure, and they're being dealt with fairly in terms of fees and expenses, and so on. Bitcoin isn't any more of a threat to the United States government. Then the stock market is Or maybe I should say the other way. It's as much of a threat as the stock market is, the government is an outlaw in the stock market. Instead, it regulates the stock market for everybody's benefit. But there is a subsection of digital assets where the government might be considered to be threatened, and that is known as a stable coin. You see, Bitcoin fluctuates and value wildly as we've seen throughout its history and its that price fluctuation. That means Bitcoin is not a currency. The number one thing you need from a currency is a stable value. If I give you a dollar, you need to have confidence of what the dollar is worth. But Bitcoin I give you a big coin. You have no idea what it's going to be worth tomorrow because of the incredible volatility of its price that makes Bitcoin unsuitable for use as a currency. And that is why other coins have been developed to serve as digital currencies. They're also called stable coins, meaning they're stable and value. These coins are pegged to a currency like the U. S. Dollar or the euro or the yen or other government currencies. And they're meant to be Proxies to be replacement. Just kind of like a casino chip is a replacement currency for dollars. You can't gamble in a casino with dollars. You have to convert them to chips. But everybody's in agreement as to what the chips are worth, they are equal to a dollar. So that's what these stable coins. Our governments are, in fact worried about the advent of stable coins because of consumers begin to use them instead of the government's currencies. Well, then the government's economic system could be at risk. And this is why governments are developing their own digital currencies. They're called C B. D. C s. Central bank, digital currencies and 85% of the world's central banks are now developing their own digital currency. In fact, the Bank for International Settlements says that within the next three years, 20% of the world's population will be using central bank digital currencies. Meaning you won't deal in paper money anymore. You'll get money sent to you from your employer. The paycheck will go directly to your bank. That money will be in the form of a digital wallet and you'll have digital dollars are Federal Reserve is developing this right now. It's widely predicted that Sweden will be the first cash list nation by 2023. Stable coins are on their way. The largest is tether $51 billion in circulation. That compares to over two trillion for the U. S. Dollar, lots of economic and social benefits. Bank transactions settle almost instantly. 24 7 and almost no cost lower transaction fees, effective monetary policies reduces money laundering and drug financing and terrorist financing. And it conserved the 5% of U. S households who are unbanked who, Hey, too high a fee for checking in cashing and they're forced into check cashing services and buy now pay later programs. The Bank of England says a digital dollar would permanently lift our GDP by 3% a year. And the I M F. Says CB DCs would kill tax evasion, drug dealing and terrorism financing. But new laws are needed because only 40 countries are currently allowed by law to let their central banks create digital currencies. So there's a big difference between stable coins and the rest of the coins like Bitcoin. What are the investment opportunities that exist? If you wanted to buy Bitcoin or other digital assets, there's a huge array of investments that are available out there publicly traded trusts from companies like Grayscale Osprey and bit wise. The European Central Bank. They just issued a two year bond raised $120 million did it entirely on the block chain. Ahead of funding, told Reuters. This is a game changer for the capital markets.

I'm shocked that in this environment, she thought she could get away with it. What does it tell you that one of most famous former senators in America Registered as a foreign agent for a Chinese surveillance company. They've been blacklisted. It tells me that the Chinese Communist Party has completely infiltrated the U. S political system, especially the Democratic Party in California, because you not only have Barbara Boxer you've got Dianne Feinstein with China problems and then, of course, the person you referred to Eric Swalwell, who is yet to adequately explain his relationship with a suspected Ministry of state security agent We've got a problem here because it's not only the Democrats. It's also David Vitter, the former Republican senator from Louisiana. He's also working for his vision, and this means we need to get China out of our political system.
