Next he signed an EO (March 6, 2025) to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. Although the same reserve plan failed for the state of Wyoming, the EO establishes the digital reserve federally. Wyoming is, however, leading the way in experimenting with Stablecoin, while a bank in the state also became the first to send and receive digital U.S. Dollars. Wyoming-based Custodia Bank worked with a Texas bank to send tokenized digital dollars from an account into the digital realm and back again. Wyoming plans to unveil their Stablecoin in June 2025. Back at a Federal level, the Senate Banking Committee sent a stablecoin bill to the full chamber for debate in early March. By early April Satoshi Nakamoto, the supposed founder of Bitcoin - though “he” could be a “she” and is in fact more than one person - mysteriously reappeared for the first time since 2008 when Bitcoin was speculated on and created by 2009. Who or what they are is unknown to everyone except the Department of Homeland Security which knew the identity officially back in 2019 and yet failed to reveal it to the public. This is interesting because doing something like creating such a secure alternative to the U.S. Dollar is usually seen as an act of terrorism and a threat to national security. Although an EO on Central Bank Digital Currency has been signed, banning its use, and an anti-CBDC Bill has cleared the House Financial Services Committee, Bitcoin and others are taking its place. The Trump family is heavily invested, too, with their crypto firm, World Liberty Financial, pushing to launch a decentralized finance platform DeFi. While proponents of Bitcoin, for example, say “its decentralized,” “rejected by the banks,” “not legal tender,” “it's stable,” and “not traceable,” this is in fact not the whole story. When it becomes legal tender and regulated in the United State then it will also become “stable” and centrally regulated. Bitcoin will also become even more highly trackable through AI, pattern recognition and government subpoenas, among other things. Now that the U.S. in issuing tariffs as part of a trade war, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has joined the chorus of voices warning that the U.S. dollar's reserve currency status is at risk. Fink has even gone further and suggested a likely replacement: Bitcoin, which could replace the dollar as a reserve and change the whole system. “The question of a potential dollar confidence crisis has now been definitively answered—we are experiencing one in full force,” ING analysts including Francesco Pesole wrote in a note seen by Bloomberg. “The dollar collapse is working as a barometer of ‘sell America' at the moment.” The dollar's decline is seen by some as boosting the bitcoin price as traders bet bitcoin will follow in gold's footsteps, performing as a safe haven asset. The overall story seems to be this: some mysterious figure creates Bitcoin, banks oppose it like they famously did the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, which triggers public support and demands for it, then banks officially adopt it as a model, then the same people pushing bitcoin say it is the solution to the Great Rest which is rejected and replaced with Trump's Golden Age Reset, which itself leads to the U.S. Dollar losing status and being replaced by…. Bitcoin - while investors put their money in a digital, not physical, assets. As with Hawk Tuah Girl's $50-million pump and dump, this Bitcoin-cyrpto evolution has the ability to be the largest of such schemes in world history, and probably the largest transfer of wealth in world history too. It is set up to be the legendary world currency.-FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKMAIN WEBSITECashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

Send us a textThe economic anxiety gripping America takes center stage as we explore mounting signs of a potential recession driven by escalating trade tensions. Market slides, Wall Street jitters, and economists' warnings paint a concerning picture as the S&P 500 falls into correction territory amid the implementation of sweeping tariffs targeting dozens of countries.Through a comprehensive analysis, we break down the warning signs of economic downturn - from job market shifts to consumer spending patterns - while providing historical context about previous recessions and their lasting impacts. The comparison between today's housing affordability crisis and the Great Depression offers a particularly sobering reality check: it was actually easier to purchase a home during America's worst economic disaster than it is for today's middle class.BlackRock CEO Larry Fink's observation that "nearly everyone" he speaks with expresses unprecedented economic anxiety aligns with America's plummeting position on global happiness rankings. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve's data shows Americans' ability to raise emergency funds has hit record lows, highlighting the financial vulnerability many households face as recession risks grow.Beyond just identifying problems, we outline practical strategies to protect your finances during uncertain economic times. Financial advisors recommend paying down high-interest debt, building emergency savings, and exploring low-volatility investments - while avoiding panic-driven financial decisions that could make your situation worse.Wondering how to navigate these challenging economic waters?

Those looking to pick up a pair of the brand's Air Jordan 1 High sneakers could shell out an extra $18 on top of their current $180 price tag after the new tariff goes into effect April 9, industry sources told The Post. The 46% tariff on Vietnam would add another $8.28 to the total cost per pair, which adds up when its multiplied by 8,000 – or the number of sneakers that can fit in to a shipping container. But Nike is likely to negotiate deals with its factories to mitigate these costs — or as many industry experts believe, the tariffs will change as the countries negotiate deals.

Can capitalism save us? In 2020, it seemed like the answer was “possibly.” That year, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink shook up the investment world in his annual letter to companies, in which he made climate change a major focus. On CNBC he stated, “We believe a portfolio that focuses on sustainability and climate change will be a portfolio that outperforms … and it will also help the planet.” But that was before a fierce backlash ensued. In this season of “How We Survive,” we follow the money — from a gathering of religious investors in New York City to a yacht in the Port of Houston — to trace how climate-conscious investing (the E in ESG) evolved from a small corner of the market, to a mainstream strategy, to a bogeyman of the right. We uncover the ways climate-conscious investing lives on today and ask: Can we invest our way out of the climate crisis?

"And here's the reason why it's so important that we mine them, because you're going to almost certainly have your manufacturing close to where you find the natural resource," Tiffany says. Congressman Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., predicted that President Trump's plans on rare earth minerals could spur a manufacturing boom in the Rust Belt, referring to last week's joint session of Congress on Tuesday. At that speech, Trump said “Later this week, I will also take historic action to dramatically expand production of critical minerals and rare earths here in the USA.” Trump is reportedly preparing an executive order that would speed up raw mineral production and processing.

When Charles Gasparino set out to report on Silicon Valley Bank's collapse, he had no idea he was about to uncover a much larger story: the radical transformation of American business. Gasparino, a veteran financial journalist at Fox Business, initially focused on the bank's poor risk management. But he soon stumbled upon something more troublesome—an unhealthy fixation on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies.  This misplaced focus, Gasparino argues, played a significant role in the bank's ultimate demise. As he dug deeper, a troubling pattern emerged. Silicon Valley Bank wasn't an isolated case—it was just the beginning. From Disney's controversial policies under Bob Chapek to BlackRock CEO Larry Fink's aggressive push for ESG standards, Gasparino found that wokeness had infiltrated boardrooms across America. Gasparino traced this trend back to the summer of 2020, when corporations reacted strongly to the George Floyd protests, exemplified by J.P. Morgan's CEO, Jamie Dimon, famously taking a knee. Through extensive interviews and research, Gasparino documented how corporations eagerly embraced woke idea, only to face harsh financial realities. His new book "Go Woke, Go Broke: The Inside Story of the Radicalization of Corporate America" offers a stark warning to CEOs who might be tempted to follow this path. On today's episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast," Gasparino explains that when businesses stray from their core mission—maximizing shareholder value—it's a losing proposition. Listen as we explore how woke ideology reshaped corporate America and what can be done about it. Enjoy the show!

Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by analyzing the continued spin on inflation presented by the Biden administration ahead of the 2024 election. Dom plays back a clip from a group of Arizona voters who note their turn away from Biden for the sole fact that they can no longer afford to go out to eat. Then, Dom plays back clips from Blackrock CEO Larry Fink, who tells that he projects that inflation will continue, somehow spinning it into a positive, which Dom suggests may be a future spin of the current administration. Then, Dom offers up the side topic of the day, telling that in honor of National Joe Day, he's looking for all-time notable Joes, Josephs, or Josephines. Then, Dom welcomes Pennsylvania State Representative Joe D'Orsie back onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss a bill considered controversial by legacy media that he co-sponsored. HR2155, which was introduced Monday as part of a package of legislation designed to protect teachers, has come under fire due to the bills protections for teachers who refuse to use students' pronouns. D'Orsie rejects the reporting around the bill, stressing that this bill is not targeting or being malicious toward LGBT students, but protecting teacher's right to free speech.

George Santos, R-N.Y., from Congress after the release of a damning report into the embattled Long Island Republican. "Chairman Guest feels that the evidence uncovered in the Committee’s investigation is more than sufficient to warrant punishment, and that the most appropriate punishment is expulsion," Republican Mississippi Rep. Michael Guest's personal office told Fox News Digital on Thursday. "So, separate from the Committee process and his role as Chairman, he plans to file an expulsion resolution during tomorrow’s 9:00 am pro forma session." The ethics committee released a damning report that accused Santos of having "used campaign funds for personal purposes" and "engaged in fraudulent conduct," among other allegations. Guest filing the resolution on Friday tees up an expected vote on whether to boot Santos from the House sometime after lawmakers return from the Thanksgiving break on Nov. 28. A 56-page deep dive into the allegations against Santos by the panel's Investigative subcommittee detailed campaign funds being spent at spas and luxury stores, among other questionable places. The bipartisan subcommittee unanimously agreed that Santos "knowingly caused his campaign committee to file false or incomplete reports with the Federal Election Commission; used campaign funds for personal purposes; engaged in fraudulent conduct in connection with RedStone Strategies LLC; and engaged in knowing and willful violations of the Ethics in Government Act as it relates to his Financial Disclosure (FD) Statements filed with the House." That includes $50,000 in campaign donations that were wired to Santos' personal account on Oct. 21, 2022, and allegedly used to, among other things, "pay down personal credit card bills and other debt; make a $4,127.80 purchase at Hermes; and for smaller purchases at OnlyFans; Sephora; and for meals and for parking." Santos also spent more than $2,200 at resorts in Atlantic City, New Jersey, from July 23, 2022, to July 24, 2022, according to the report, despite a staffer telling the subcommittee that "he was not aware of any events in Atlantic City and did not attend any campaign events in Atlantic City." Santos posted a lengthy response to the report on X, in which he announced he would not seek re-election in 2024 and accused the House Ethics Committee of bias. "If there was a single ounce of ETHICS in the ‘Ethics committee’, they would have not released this biased report. The Committee went to extraordinary lengths to smear myself and my legal team about me not being forthcoming (My legal bills suggest otherwise)," Santos wrote. "It is a disgusting politicized smear that shows the depths of how low our federal government has sunk. Everyone who participated in this grave miscarriage of Justice should all be ashamed of themselves." GOP lawmakers from New York previously moved to expel Santos earlier this month, but the effort failed along bipartisan lines. Most Democrats who said they voted to punt the measure explained they were waiting for the findings of the ethics committee report. https://dailycaller.com/2023/11/16/chinas-xi-receives-standing-ovation-american-business-leaders/ China’s Xi Receives Standing Ovation From American Business Leaders Chinese President Xi Jinping received a standing ovation from American business leaders during an exclusive dinner in San Francisco on Wednesday. Xi met with President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference in San Francisco Wednesday and had talks on a broad range of issues, including military communications, fentanyl trafficking and Taiwan. During a private dinner in the city’s downtown Hyatt Regency hours later, Xi gave a speech about the need for China-U.S. cooperation and received praise from hundreds of high-level American business executives. “China is pursuing high-quality development, and the United States is revitalizing its economy,” Xi said during his speech. “There is plenty of room for our cooperation.” Among the leaders at the reception and dinner were Apple CEO Tim Cook, Blackrock CEO Larry Fink, Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk and a number of executives from FedEx, Qualcomm, KKR, Blackstone and Boeing, according to The Wall Street Journal. Tickets to attend the dinner started at $2,000 per person, up to $40,000 for a chance to dine with Xi at his table. “I think it’s important Americans and Chinese are meeting again face to face,” said managing director for China of McLarty Associates John L. Holden, who attended the dinner, according to The New York Times. “This is not a magic bullet, but it is something that can provide possibilities that wouldn’t exist otherwise.” “All of you here this evening remain keenly interested to do business in China, and to find ways to advance our bilateral economic relationship,” Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo told the audience at the dinner, CNBC reported. “I know that, because half of you have come to see me to tell me that.” During his speech, Xi claimed that China is “ready to be partners and friends” rather than adversaries with the U.S, according to the Times. He also evoked China’s history with the U.S., recalling American and Chinese cooperation to defeat the Japanese during World War II. Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom gifted Xi a Golden State Warriors Basketball jersey during the dinner, according to a Chinese Foreign Affairs spokesperson in attendance. In his meeting with Biden hours prior, Xi agreed to reestablish military-to-military communication lines with the U.S., which had been cut off in February. Xi also agreed to take steps to “dramatically curtail” the creation of fentanyl precursors created in China, which often end up in Mexico to be made into completed products and are subsequently trafficked into the U.S. Biden praised his Wednesday meeting with Xi and then called him a “dictator” minutes later. “Well, look, he is,” Biden said during a press conference Wednesday. Biden again calls Xi ‘dictator’ after Chinese prez warns against ‘turning back’ on Beijing-Play Clip The White House and China’s foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. https://www.foxnews.com/us/pro-palestinian-protesters-block-bridges-boston-san-francisco-rush-hour Pro-Palestinian protesters block bridges in Boston, San Francisco during rush hour Pro-Palestinian protesters blocked traffic on bridges in Boston and San Francisco during rush hour Thursday morning to call for a cease-fire in Gaza as Israel continues to target Hamas leadership more than a month after the militant group’s deadly incursion into Israel. On the Boston University bridge, the group IfNotNow, which says it represents members of Boston’s Jewish community, chanted "Cease-fire now!" and demanded that Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., support an immediate cease-fire and use her influence to stop the Israeli government’s military action in Gaza. The protest slowed traffic to a trickle on the bridge, which connects Boston and Cambridge, as the group held signs that said, "Let Gaza Live," and unfurled a banner across the roadway that read, "Jews say: Ceasefire now." "We care about Palestinian lives, we only want to hurt Hamas," one protester on the bridge told NBC Boston, while another said, "There can’t be peace for Jews unless there is peace for Palestinians." Meanwhile, Pro-Palestinian protesters also shut down the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, where President Biden was courting world leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. The Arab Resource and Organizing Center planned the demonstration, in which protesters were heard shouting, "Free Palestine" and "We want justice." Others chained themselves to the bridge or lay in the road covered with sheets smeared with fake blood, FOX2 KTVU reported. Authorities had closed one lane on the bridge as a preventative measure during the summit, the station reported, citing the California Highway Patrol. Israel vowed to wipe out Hamas after the militant group launched its Oct. 7 surprise attack, in which at least 1,200 people died in Israel and around 240 were taken captive by militants back to Gaza. More than 11,200 Palestinians have been killed since the war began, according to the Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza. The protest came as Israeli forces dropped leaflets warning Palestinians to flee parts of southern Gaza, residents said Thursday, signaling a possible expansion of their offensive. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/11/15/nolte-miserable-chicagoans-drop-mayor-brandon-johnsons-approval-rating-to-28/ Miserable Chicagoans Drop Mayor Brandon Johnson’s Approval Rating to 28% In Wednesday’s glorious edition of Democrats Getting What They Voted For, newly elected Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has an approval rating of just 28 percent. Echelon Insights polled 800 registered voters in Chicago between October 18 and 22. So how is it possible that Johnson, who won a majority just seven short months ago, is now sitting with a dismal 28 percent approval rating, which is only one point higher than Lori Lightfoot (the sitting mayor he defeated) had in February 2023, which was only one month before she lost her reelection campaign? I think the answer to this disconnect is obvious. In Chicago, dead people can vote, but dead people cannot be polled over the telephone. When asked about Chicago’s worst issues, 69 percent of those polled said crime. That’s only a two-point decrease since February. Then came high taxes (31 percent) and homelessness (20 percent). Everything else was under 15 percent. When asked how Mayor Johnson is doing on those top three issues, only 21 percent approved of the job he’s doing on crime, while 66 percent disapproved. On economic development, only 32 percent approved, while 43 percent disapproved. On housing and homelessness, only 18 percent approved, while 63 percent disapproved. On the specific issue of “management of immigrants transported to the city,” only 23 percent approved, while 64 percent disapproved. This question relates directly to His Fraudulency, Joe Biden, throwing the southern border wide open to millions of unvetted, third-world illegal aliens. On that same question, living Chicago voters were asked, “How do you feel about Mayor Brandon Johnson’s proposed plan to house migrants in ‘base camps’ made up of large, heated tents in various parts of Chicago?” Only 28 percent approved, while 63 percent disapproved. Those who said they “strongly oppose” on this question made up nearly half, 46 percent. When asked if they supported or opposed Chicago’s status as a sanctuary city, a majority of 52 percent opposed, while 42 percent supported. In February 2023, the month before Chicago voted Lightfoot out, 28 percent said the city was headed in the right direction. That number has now dropped to just 20 percent, while 65 percent say things are headed in the wrong direction. Now that cash bail has been eliminated statewide, it hurts Chicago more than any other city. Only 35 percent of Chicagoans support that policy, but the Democrat governor who instituted that suicide pact won around 80 percent of the vote in Cook County, which is where Chicago sits. This poll tells us that Chicagoans are getting exactly what they voted for and are quite upset over it, which tells you just how damaged Democrats are.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, we have a huge problem in this country with Democrats and pseudo-conservatives who have lost their minds, and who blame America first and apologize for Chinese aggression in the South China Sea. Communist China is threatening Asian countries and claiming territory while building military bases in the Pacific Ocean and our hemisphere in violation of the Monroe Doctrine. China is prepared for war and muscling up further just like Germany, Italy, and Japan did before WWII. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink is forcing woke ideologies on his employees through the use of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores. Unfortunately, executives like Fink are using their importance to slip in vague, progressive categories like “carbon footprint,” “social vulnerability,” “disadvantaged or priority populations,” and “board of Directors' diversity,” just to name a few. Canadian wildfire smoke is spreading across America and the left and the media are blaming climate change. It's not climate change, it's the incompetent ruling-class ideologues who don't know how to manage forests. FBI documents allege that a ‘businessperson from Ukraine' sent a substantial bribe to Vice President Biden. All of this news is stunning and it's shocking how quiet the media are. There's a full-fledged cover-up taking place being led by AG Garland. Meanwhile, the Democrats are at it again - this time with redistricting in Alabama. Redistricting is supposed to be race-neutral but the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, abandoned that notion. We have the segregating of communities by a majority of the court in order to make an additional black majority district for more Democrat votes.
