Ahead of the 3-day weekend, Norm thanks listeners for keeping him around through 9 weeks of the Norm Pattis Show. For all of you loyal LAL listeners, our gratitude knows no bounds. Thank you for setting out on this journey with us. Norm opens the show talking about his disappointment with the USA Today article naming the Top 50 Pizzerias in the United States—where is the New Haven representation?! Incredible.  A local listener calls in to tell Norm about her favorite local spots and toppings, which sets off a tidal wave of pizza talk. Another listener calls in to share his favorite local pizza shop and toppings and then asks Norm to explain a legal perspective on the Cassidy Hutchinson congressional testimony that apparently conflicts with the position of the Secret Service. The main event for this episode is our guest, John Deaton, founder of Deaton Law Firm and Crypto-Law.us. Norm has John on talk about a letter that John wrote to a Senator just recently detailing the alleged  Securities and Exchange Commission's unfair and abusive treatment of Ripple and holders of XRP.  The key question, as we have addressed before, is whether digital assets like Etherium and XRP are considered securities for purposes of investment and regulation. John details how absurd the treatment of XRP is—could every holder of XRP in the world today be guilty of transacting unlawfully in unregistered securities? This is a serious question, given the SEC's public position against Ripple, its founders, and the token XRP itself. Are crypto/digital assets better regarded as commodities or securities? Norm and John discuss the concept of agency capture and what it means the in context of the SEC, its commissioners, former commissioners, and the entities for whom the SEC apparently has acted almost exclusively to protect.  Like, share, and subscribe!

One of the most closely-watched fights in crypto might sound a little obscure, but it's really important. It pits a company called Grayscale Investments against the US Securities and Exchange Commission, a crucial regulator. And it involves so-called exchange traded funds, an extremely popular type of investment vehicle, and Bitcoin, the largest and most liquid cryptocurrency.  Grayscale had been lobbying regulators to allow it to convert one of its existing crypto products into an exchange traded fund, or ETF. This week, the SEC rejected their petition. Grayscale has been very clear that they're preparing for a fight and intend to take the fight to court, and they've geared up accordingly. They hired Donald Verrilli, a top White House lawyer during the Obama administration. Bloomberg reporter Katie Greifeld joins me to examine why this fight is so important to crypto.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Within minutes, Grayscale, a CoinDesk sister company, had filed suit against the SEC about that decision. In this episode, NLW explains why the crypto community is in broad agreement with Grayscale about the inconsistencies in how the SEC approves or rejects bitcoin-related products.

'There is a lot of material being requested.' A recent letter from the US Securities and Exchange Commission shows the extent to which it is probing managers about their ESG claims and practices.

Don Schiefelbein, National Cattlemen's Beef Association President, was in attendance at the second stop in Clear Lake for the Cattlemen's Education Series. He shares more about the policy NCBA is watching in DC, including the Securities and Exchange Commission's interest in tracking carbon emissions through the food chain all the way back to producers.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a 2-1 opinion in favor of hedge fund manager George Jarkesy and investment adviser Patriot28. Their case contested the Securities and Exchange Commission's decision to charge them with wide-ranging securities fraud. The decision's text appears to argue against or, at least, minimize the role of subject matter experts and the administrative law power of federal agencies. Conor D. Dirks is an attorney at the firm of Shaw Bransford & Roth, where he has represented federal officials and employees in all aspects of federal personnel employment law. He joined the podcast to talk about the decision and what it will mean for the administrative state. *** Join GovExec Daily on Clubhouse! https://www.clubhouse.com/club/govexec-daily-group  

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing the Enron Scandal, a major accounting fraud that took place in late-2001 when Enron Corporation - who, only the year prior, was considered to be one of the most successful companies in the world - announced that it was posting a $638 billion dollar loss in the third quarter…and then followed up that up shortly thereafter by filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In only a few months, the company's stock price - which, at its height, was $90 per share - fell to less than $0.26 per share. Along with the demise of the company also came the demise of nearly $2.1 billion dollars in pension plans for its thousands of employees. In fact, as higher-ups in the company were selling off their stock - aware that things were going to tank soon - they were simultaneously telling lower-level employees to invest in more company stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission investigated what happened at Enron and found that they had been conducting shady accounting practices, such as writing future gains (that had not yet been received) into current income statements and transferring their bad assets into special purpose entities in order to keep them off the books. Essentially, Enron was lying about their profits, defrauding investors, their employees, and Americans as a whole.

Norm opens the first hour imploring citizens to vote for and to demand a return to common sense, citing the obvious upside-down character of the United States' governing structures across the country.  He then asks listeners to call in and help him understand what the Connecticut Post reported on with respect to the New Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department's announcement of an internal investigation pursuant to alleged "offensive" posts to social media by one of the department's firefighters.  But what were the posts? What was the content of the speech? And how condescending can the Connecticut Post be? Publish the content of the posts! Allow the readers to determine for themselves whether the speech in question was indeed offensive, or whether the story itself is yet another mere reflection of woke culture run amok.  Norm then whines about CNN and how unlikely it is to course correct in any meaningful way after its termination of Chris Cuomo and the rumored looming exit of Mr. Potato aka Brian Stelter, and of course after the deafeningly quiet exit of former President of CNN, Jeff Zucker. Will the new overlord make good on his promise to eliminate the comingling of news reporting and ideological biases? Best wishes, Chris Licht. We'll wait for CNN to show and prove.  A caller from earlier this week posed a question about the role of the Federal Reserve and posited that the overwhelming majority of Americans have no idea what it is, what it does, not to mention that it is not a formal body of our federal government. So, Norm takes an opportunity to shed light on the federal reserve, its role in regulating the American economy, the partisan divide on economic policy in America today, and the staying power of those appointed to the Board of the Federal Reserve. Is it time for an overhaul? Norm then takes a moment to applaud Law and Legitimacy for breaking a story that Forbes finally picked up regarding the Securities and Exchange Commission and its apparently corrupt behavior with respect to the regulation of digital assets and cryptocurrency.  Specifically, Law and Legitimacy hosted Jimmy Vallee—Managing Partner of Valhil Capital and proponent of Ripple and XRP—to discuss the disparate treatment between Etherium and Ripple by the SEC to the latter's extreme detriment. How detrimental? Bigger than Enron in terms of the financial loss to Ripple investors.  Like, share, and subscribe. Norm is live every weekday from 12pm ET to 2pm ET on WICC 600AM/107.3FM.

Diesel prices continue to set new records, as farmers are forced to budget around these higher fuel costs. Plus, how a new rule from the Securities and Exchange Commission could impact paperwork on the farm.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode, NCBA Environmental Counsel Mary-Thomas Hart joins to discuss NCBA's fight against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's overreaching greenhouse gas disclosure rule. Hart details the origins of the rule and the harm it could cause to cattle producers. Hart also highlights NCBA's grassroots campaign against the rule, which resulted in over 6,000 cattle producers sharing their perspective with the SEC, and key arguments from technical comments submitted to the agency by an NCBA-led coalition of agricultural groups.

Amid an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission into inaccurate statements to investors, Faraday Future has received a preliminary request for information from the U.S. Department of Justice.

“We've really had a fundamental shift in the economy where employees are demanding that companies align with their values and they're demanding that they take care of their environmental footprint and that they report on it with great accountability and transparency. And so, if you are a company, you can't get away with not walking the talk, and on top of that, the Securities and Exchange Commission and other bodies are synthesizing all of the different sustainability standards out there now.” Joan Michelson, host of Electric Ladies Podcast, on Eisner Amper's “Fast Forward” podcast

Jimmy Vallee joins Norm and Mike for a Sunday Special long form.  Jimmy Vallee is a member of Law and Legitimacy alumni at this point, having appeared several times before today's session.  Public radio does not afford the sort of patience that something like digital asset regulation merits for proper examination. So that's what we've aimed here to remedy.  Jimmy Vallee is the managing principal of Valhill Capital, a Texas-based family investment firm with an investment thesis centered around blockchain and cryptocurrency innovation. Specifically, Valhill Capital views the blockchain technology Ripple and the digital currency XRP as the key drivers that will enable blockchain and cryptocurrency to deliver on its promise to unlock economic opportunity all over the world.  The problem? The Securities and Exchange Commission initiated a lawsuit against Ripple Labs in December 2020 alleging that Ripple's digital currency, XRP, is an unregistered security in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act.  It gets complicated, which is why Norm and Jimmy begin the conversation with the context of society's increasing digitization, from base level information digitization (e.g., Uber) to value digitization as seen through the emergence of blockchains and cryptocurrencies.  The Ripple/XRP case is unique in that it stands as a beacon to justify at least the perceptible corruption and hypocrisy that has come to define our country's current crisis of legitimacy.  Norm and Jimmy unpack the comparison between Etherium's treatment as a commodity—outwardly ratified by the SEC—and the interesting public sector-private sector overlap between key individual players in the Etherium rise to apparent regulatory capture.  Jimmy also discusses a unique legal feature in the SEC v. Ripple case: attorney John Deaton's attempt to intervene as and additional defendant (!) on behalf of a class of XRP holders.  What is the deliberative process privilege? Is a congressional hearing a battleground that would favor XRP under the circumstances? And with the case scheduled to conclude in November 2022, how important will the 2018 Hinman speech be to the outcome? Visit crypto-law.us and click "Connect to Congress" to help John Deaton and Ripple in getting congressional attention on this matter.  Like, share, and subscribe.

Norm is joined in the first hour by Jimmy Vallee, Managing Principal of Valhill Capital.  Jimmy joined the Norm Pattis Show a few weeks ago, but the two were cut off. Norm invited Jimmy back for a more robust discussion.  The two discuss the fundamentals of cryptocurrency, from function and technoligy, to the general ambition of blockchain development.  Jimmy has been very active in the securities side of cryptocurrency, specifically with Ripple, negotiating with the Securities and Exchange Commission about how these sorts of use cases should be regulated.  Hear how the regulatory environment is developing and how that will inevitably lead to the demise of many less reliable tokens and coins.  Regulation is said to be done in the public interest and for the public good. Norm asks whether and why the regulation is necessary. Jimmy discusses the opportunities for fraud via the "pump and dump" model and other examples.  Like, share, and subscribe.

Lawmakers and consumer advocates are in a standoff over which agency should regulate cryptocurrencies: the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Today, we dive into the debate. Plus, a look at retailers’ continuing inventory woes, the government’s changing definition of “small business” and the costs of school security.

If it was ever easy to be the manager of an ESG fund, it certainly isn't any more. Demand for these environmentally friendly investment options is skyrocketing, but scrutiny from the Securities and Exchange Commission is increasing along with it. Late last month, BNY Mellon paid the agency $1.5 million to settle a claim that it misled investors about how it applies ESG principles to some of its mutual funds. Also, the SEC released proposed regulations imposing new requirements on funds that advertise themselves as ESG. Will all of this have a chilling effect that may halt or even reverse the rapid growth of this area of investing? To find out we, hear from two attorneys who represent fund managers that work on ESG investments. George Raine and Robert Skinner are partners at the firm Ropes & Gray who specialize in the financial services industry. They spoke with Bloomberg Law's Andrew Ramonas about why the SEC is doing what it's doing, and why it's more important than ever for ESG fund prospectuses to be bulletproof.   Do you have feedback on this episode of Parts Per Billion?

The Ripple v. SEC case continues, Following 16 months of intense pre-trial litigation, countless hours in court and over 600,000 documents reviewed by both sides, the case that's being billed as "the cryptocurrency trial of the century" could all come down to one speech made by a former Securities and Exchange Commission official four years ago. On Tuesday afternoon, federal Judge Sarah Netburn will hold an in-person conference at the Daniel P. Moynihan Courthouse in Manhattan to discuss the release of documents that Ripple says are necessary to prove it did nothing wrong and that the SEC is picking winners and losers in the trillion-dollar crypto business.#xrp #ripple #crypto ~XRP vs. SEC Update | Ripple Lands Another Major Blow to SEC~⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺Become a Diamond Circle Member FREE! ➜ https://bit.ly/PBDiamondCircleSubscribe on YouTube ✅ https://bit.ly/PBNYoutubeSubscribeFacebook

DETROIT — Elon Musk is threatening to walk away from his $44 billion bid to buy Twitter, accusing the company of refusing to give him information about its spam bot and fake accounts. Lawyers for the Tesla and SpaceX CEO made the threat in a letter to Twitter dated Monday that the company disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Megan Brown sits down with Christopher Roberti, Senior Vice President for Cyber, Space, and National Security Policy, U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Are cyber public private partnerships obsolete? What should the private sector look for in new incident reporting rules from the Department of Homeland Security? Are new Securities and Exchange Commission cyber rules a misguided solution in search of a problem? Will cyber remain bipartisan? Listen to our latest Cyber podcast to get up to speed on all things cyber.

As the cryptocurrency industry grows, state and federal governments are considering how that industry should be regulated. The President has directed the Secretary of the Treasury to report soon on the issues involved. A draft bill that would regulate stablecoins has been released in the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, states are competing with one another to adopt regulatory laws that may attract cryptocurrency firms to their welcoming, but taxing, arms striving for economic growth.Will regulation be designed to avoid discouraging innovation in a highly creative environment? Fears have been expressed that unregulated cryptocurrency could theoretically present systemic risk, and consumers may need to be protected–particularly in light of the recent collapse of the Luna cryptocurrency and its related Terra stablecoin. Some believe that regulation may be an opportunity to include those presently unserved by the banking system. Complicating this already complicated picture may be rivalry among multiple federal agencies, including the banking regulators, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, and the Federal Trade Commission, each of which may make a case for potential authority over aspects of the cryptocurrency industry. Our panel of experts addressed these timely and controversial questions.Featuring:- Douglas Elliott, Partner, Oliver Wyaman- Michael Piwowar, Executive Director, Milken Institute Center for Financial Markets- Dawn Stump, Former Commissioner, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission- Thomas Vartanian, Executive Director, Financial Technology & Cybersecurity Center- [Moderator] Paul N.

  Two weeks ago, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit issued a 2-1 opinion in favor of hedge fund manager George Jarkesy and investment adviser Patriot28 challenging the Securities and Exchange Commission's decision to charge them with wide-ranging securities fraud. The decision's text  seemingly argues against the role of subject matter experts and administrative law power of agencies and civil servants, potentially delivering a huge blow to the administrative state's enforcement ability. Courtney Bublé joined the podcast to discuss the case and its implications.   *** Join GovExec Daily on Clubhouse! https://www.clubhouse.com/club/govexec-daily-group

The Securities & Exchange Commission has proposed a rule mandating, among other things, that publicly-traded companies will for the first time be required to report their greenhouse-gas emissions including, in certain cases, those from their suppliers and customers. We'll talk to the National Restaurant Association's Vice President of Public Policy, Aaron Frazier, who is the industry's point person in this conversation and try to understand what impact these regulations will have for the industry and what lays ahead in this issue space. And we'll take a look at a new reputation survey looking at prominent friendly brands that are having their reputations tarnished by partisan politics and discuss the potential impacts, if any. And of course, the latest and greatest on Starbucks, which now has over 100 units that have voted for unionization and continues to see their struggle with the NLRB consistently escalating. We'll discuss those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.

What is the dark underbelly of 9/11? Mark Gaffney takes us on the journey of his own journey down the rabbit hole of "Black 9/11".Is there evidence of foreknowledge of the attacks? I.e., insider trading just before the 9/11 attacks?Did the Securities & Exchange Commission really create a list of 38 suspect companies? What major financial corporations made the list?What was the outcome of that investigation?Were the put-option payouts actually made? to whom?What other financial crimes occurred during and after the attacks? Which institutions were likely involved?Which bank was implicated in the massive fails on Wall Street following 2001? Did the 9/11 Commission investigate?Demands for auditing the Fed and Wall Street Banks grew in the mid-2000's. What were the obstacles vs. successes?There has been numerous questions about the capabilities of the alleged hijackers in the attacks of 9/11. The Pentagon was targeted by Hani Hanjour. What problems are revealed by a deeper look into this hijacker?My guest on RichardGage911:UNLEASHED! is Mark H. Gaffney - the author of Black 9/11: Money, Motive, and Technology, which documents the overwhelming evidence for insider trading in the days before 9/11, and other crimes of the US financial elite.The book presents evidence that the technology to remotely access/control commercial jetliners already existed in 2001, and may have been used to fly the planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon.He has also written 5 other books, including The 9/11 Mystery Plane (2008) which documented the presence of two US Air Force command and control planes (designation: E-4B) in the skies of Washington DC during the 9/11 attacks.The E-4B is the world's most advanced electronic platform.In 2007, Mark's seminal research shamed CNN into airing video footage of one of the E-4Bs filmed near the White House on 9/11, footage that had been gathering dust in the CNN archives for six years.Black 9/11 is still in print and can be ordered at trineday.com or at Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Black-11-Money-Motive-Technology/dp/1634240812/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=mark+gaffney&qid=1652900934&s=books&sr=1-2Mark's latest book is Deep History and the Ages of Man (2022), available at Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Deep-History-Ages-Man-second-ebook/dp/B09SX9HZY1/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=mark+gaffney&qid=1652900934&s=books&sr=1-1

As the cryptocurrency industry grows, state and federal governments are considering how that industry should be regulated. The President has directed the Secretary of the Treasury to report soon on the issues involved. A draft bill that would regulate stablecoins has been released in the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, states are competing with one another to adopt regulatory laws that may attract cryptocurrency firms to their welcoming, but taxing, arms striving for economic growth.Will regulation be designed to avoid discouraging innovation in a highly creative environment? Fears have been expressed that unregulated cryptocurrency could theoretically present systemic risk, and consumers may need to be protected--particularly in light of the recent collapse of the Luna cryptocurrency and its related Terra stablecoin. Some believe that regulation may be an opportunity to include those presently unserved by the banking system. Complicating this already complicated picture may be rivalry among multiple federal agencies, including the banking regulators, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, and the Federal Trade Commission, each of which may make a case for potential authority over aspects of the cryptocurrency industry. Our panel of experts will address these timely and controversial questions.Featuring:-- Douglas Elliott, Partner, Oliver Wyaman-- Michael Piwowar, Executive Director, Milken Institute Center for Financial Markets-- Dawn Stump, Former Commissioner, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission-- Thomas Vartanian, Executive Director, Financial Technology & Cybersecurity Center-- Moderator: Paul N.

NCBA's Environmental Counsel Mary-Thomas Hart joins the podcast to discuss the Security and Exchange Commission's (SEC) greenhouse gas emissions reporting rule that would require publicly traded companies to disclose their Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (energy use), and Scope 3 (supply chain) emissions. As part of this rule, farmers and ranchers who sell to publicly traded companies would be responsible for collecting and reporting emissions to the company. While emissions calculation would likely be inaccurate at best, it would also place unreasonable and undue legal risk on individual producers. Each day, cattle producers make positive strides toward environmental stewardship, and this rule would create unnecessary red tape and legal liability that could threaten the viability of those family-owned businesses. Tune in to hear Hart discuss how NCBA is pushing back on this rule and how producers can share their opposition with decision makers in Washington, DC.

On the Best of Mark Levin, If we can't keep the biggest city in America safe, we're failing as a society. Presumably, one man, wearing a gas mask set off a smoke bomb and shot passengers inside a New York City subway car. And at a moment's notice, the NYPD and the FDNY were on the scene. A member of the Disney family took to CNN to bash Florida's Parental Rights in Education law. Abigail Disney claims that this is paranoia over the gender issue while parents simply prefer to keep the conversation out of classrooms filled with five to ten-year-old's. This sabotages the family, and our only hope is to beat the left at the ballot box. Frank R. James was captured by the NYPD with the help of a citizen. He's a systemically racist, terrorist slob that posted lots of White hate online. James, who has 11 prior arrests, will face multiple charges as the investigation continues. Despite all the censorship from Big Tech, James's social media posts, suggesting the killing of others, were never taken down by any social media platforms. Elon Musk, made a $43 Billion offer to buy Twitter to preserve free speech on the platform. But Wall Street investment group Vanguard Group has purchased more shares to become the largest shareholder at Twitter and block Musk.  It's also been reported that the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission have launched a joint investigation into Musk's companies. New York City Mayor Eric Adams questioned where the Black Lives Matters protesters were as he asked the community why young Black men victims are getting shot in Black neighborhoods.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the world's wealthiest man, Elon Musk, made a $43 Billion offer to buy Twitter to preserve free speech on the platform. But Wall Street investment group Vanguard Group has purchased more shares to become the largest shareholder at Twitter and block Musk. It's also been reported that the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission have launched a joint investigation into Musk's companies. Countries should celebrate inventive citizens like Musk, not investigate them. Then, Charlie Gasparino from the Fox Business Channel calls in to explain how the Vanguard purchase will block Musk but wasn't necessarily done to interfere with Musk, per see. Gasparino added that some past federal regulators are sympathizers of Sen. Elizabeth Warren's kneecapping of capitalism. Later, Russia continues to commit atrocities in various battles in their attempt to take Ukraine. New reports show signs of sexual assault by Russian soldiers. Afterward, the Black Lives Matter organization was a fundraising scam. New York City Mayor Eric Adams questioned where the Black Lives Matters protesters were as he asked the community why young Black men victims are getting shot in Black neighborhoods. Finally, US Senate Candidate, TW Shannon, joins the show to discuss his campaign in Oklahoma. Shannon, a Black, conservative Christian says that America is not racist because if it was, we wouldn't have Black and Hispanic people from all over coming through our borders.  Learn more about your ad choices.
