The Department of Government Efficiency touts its $65 billion savings to taxpayers after only a month into President Donald Trump's second term. The president and Elon Musk are working to save the American people even more money by cutting the federal workforce further. Democrats are pushing back at DOGE's access to federal agencies, but Republicans say they are just keeping the president's campaign promises. Chairman of the Republican National Committee Michael Whatley joins the Rundown to share what DOGE is doing and what to expect leading up to 2026. Hackers pulled off the biggest crypto heist in history, stealing $1.5 billion in digital currency from the major cryptocurrency exchange, Bybit. Analysts believe they've connected the attack to the North Korean state-sponsored cybercriminal organization, The Lazarus Group. Bybit CEO Ben Zhou confirmed his company has fully restored the stolen cryptocurrency in their reserves through loans from other crypto firms. Former Chairman of the Commodities Future Trading Commission and author of CryptoDad, Chris Giancarlo, joins to explain how the crypto hack occurred.

Five American presidents — two in the last 20 years — have assumed office without winning the popular vote. As the nation gears up for another contentious presidential election, some are calling for an end to the Electoral College. They argue that the college subverts the will of the American people by unfairly prioritizing rural and swing states over the nation's majority. But others say the Electoral College, which the Founders established in the Constitution, is necessary to ensure voters in less populous states have a voice in picking our president. Has the Electoral College outlived its usefulness? This debate is presented in partnership with the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law as part of the Newt and Jo Minow Debate Series. Motion: The Electoral College Has Outlived Its Usefulness For the Motion: Jamelle Bouie - Columnist, New York Times Kate Shaw - Law Professor & Supreme Court Contributor, ABC News Against the Motion: Tara Ross - Author, "Why We Need the Electoral College" Bradley A.

Former CFTC chair Chris Giancarlo and his former chief innovation officer Daniel Gorfine say the US is falling behind in the crypto race, but could use stablecoins—and a CBDC—to protect its interests.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.In this episode, Laura Shin speaks with former CFTC chairman Chris Giancarlo and former CFTC chief innovation officer Daniel Gorfine on the pressing need for the U.S. to safeguard the dollar. They explain why they believe the future of regulation is the government operating nodes on blockchains rather than regulating intermediaries, why even private USD stablecoins will want a USD central bank digital currency, and how China might export the technology behind the digital yuan—and its surveillance capabilities—to other countries. They also touch on how the upcoming U.S. elections could influence crypto policy, why stablecoins are more than just trading instruments, and what the U.S. must do to maintain its financial leadership.
