This week we published a story in which we spoke with 14 former and current World Central Kitchen staff members and contractors to find out what lay behind the deaths of seven of the nonprofit's staff members in Gaza. The interviewees described a workplace plagued by risk, inadequate training, and a “build-the-plane-while-flying-it” mentality. With the Spring Meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund coming up next week, we discuss what the gathering will mean for the global development sector. It's the first World Bank meeting since U.S. President Donald Trump's election in January, and all eyes will be on how the United States will approach the talks and its relationship with the institution. We also take a look at the key takeaways from our event with U.S. Rep. French Hill, a Republican from Arkansas and chair of the House Financial Services Committee, who argued that the World Bank is disproportionately focused on climate change and it needs to be pushed “back on course.” To unpack what happened to the World Central Kitchen staffers in Gaza and to look ahead to the World Bank-IMF Spring Meetings, Senior Editor Rumbi Chakamba sits down with reporters Adva Saldinger and Elissa Miolene, as well as Clemence Landers, vice president and senior policy fellow at the Center For Global Development.

Brookings Senior Fellow Andre M. Perry has a new book out today which measures what he calls the “racial gap” in America and asks what we can do to close it. Entitled The Black Power Scorecard, it draws on extensive research and analysis to quantify how much power Black Americans actually have. Using big data metrics, Perry compares Black communities to each other rather than to white populations to highlight local progress and solutions. The results are more encouraging that some might think. Perry argues for investing in Black-owned businesses and assets, noting they often deliver high quality products and services despite receiving less revenue. More W.E.B. Du Bois than Booker T Washington, Perry advocates for structural change while recognizing the importance of local solutions, rejecting the notion that Black communities must rely solely on Booker T's self-help doctrine. Five Key Takeaways * Perry's "Black Power Scorecard" focuses on factors that promote Black thriving rather than deficits, identifying 13 key predictors of life expectancy including home ownership, income, and clean air.* His research compares Black communities to each other rather than to white populations to highlight local progress and solutions that are often masked by national aggregate statistics.* Data shows Black-owned businesses often score higher on quality metrics (Yelp ratings) yet receive less revenue, demonstrating both quality and systemic barriers.* Perry argues that investing in Black communities benefits everyone, rejecting zero-sum thinking while still acknowledging the need to address specific discriminatory practices.* He takes a "Hamiltonian" structural approach, believing change requires both local solutions and government/corporate involvement, rejecting the notion that Black communities must rely solely on self-help.Andre M. Perry is a senior fellow and director of the Center for Community Uplift at the Brookings Institution. He is also a professor of practice of economics at Washington University in St. Louis. A nationally known and respected commentator on race, structural inequality, and education, Perry is the author of the forthcoming book “Black Power Scorecard: Measuring the Racial Gap and What We Can Do to Close It,” published by Henry Holt, available April 15, 2025 wherever books are sold. In 2020, Brooking Press published Perry's previous book, “Know Your Price: Valuing Black Lives and Property in America's Black Cities.” Perry is a regular contributor to MSNBC and has been published by numerous national media outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Nation, Bloomberg CityLab, and CNN.com. Perry has also made appearances on HBO, CNN, PBS, National Public Radio, NBC, and ABC. Perry's research focuses on race and structural inequality, education, and economic inclusion. Perry's recent scholarship at Brookings examines well-being across racial groups and regions in America, focusing on how investments in critical assets can lead to thriving.   Perry's pioneering work on asset devaluation has made him a go- to researcher for policymakers, community development professionals, and civil rights groups. Perry co-authored the groundbreaking 2018 Brookings Institution report “The Devaluation of Assets in Black Neighborhoods,” and has presented its findings on the price of homes in Black neighborhoods across the country, including to the U.S. House Financial Services Committee. He has extended that report's focus on housing in Black neighborhoods to include other assets such as businesses, schools, and banks.  A native of Pittsburgh, Perry earned his Ph.D. in education policy and leadership from the University of Maryland, College Park.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

If you want an ad-free experience, you can subscribe below underneath the show description.The President of the United States first signed an EO (January 23, 2025) to create a working group on digital assets. 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.

The privacy Americans should enjoy over their financial information has been in steady decline for more than 50 years. Regulatory frameworks, such as the Bank Secrecy Act and the Securities and Exchange Commission's Consolidated Audit Trail, grant government access to Americans' financial transactions. As financial services have become increasingly digitized, the volume of financial records to which the government has easy—and often unfettered—access has grown exponentially. And proposals for a central bank digital currency, which involve the government becoming more intimately involved in Americans' use of money, have the potential to further erode the ability to transact without government surveillance.As policymakers are confronted with questions about evolving technologies, the question of financial privacy must not be shunted to the side. It is time to rethink financial privacy. Does financial convenience have to come at the cost of financial privacy? Does the Constitution provide the protections needed to limit government access to financial information? Can decentralization provide privacy-protecting solutions? Join us for an outstanding program featuring leading policymakers and experts discussing financial privacy at Cato's Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives annual conference. Hosted on Acast.

His first book was called Scraping By: Wage Labor, Slavery, and Survival in Early Baltimore, and he is also the co-editor of the volume Slavery's Capitalism: A New History of American Economic Development. He does a great deal of interesting interdisciplinary work on labor history, and he has even been called on to share his research findings on slavery and capitalism with the U.S. House Financial Services Committee.

David Shive is one of the longest-tenured CIOs in all of the federal government and serves as vice chair of the Federal CIO Council. He also helms the IT portfolio of one of the most innovative and forward-leaning agencies across the executive branch. As such, he's an insightful leader with a strong read on the state of technology transformation across the federal government. FedScoop recently caught up with Shive on the sidelines of ACT-IAC's Imagine Nation ELC event in Hershey, Pa. During our conversation, we touched on a variety of things, including trends in digital transformation that GSA and other agencies experienced over the past year, AI adoption and what's next – as well as an interesting insight he picked up recently on where the U.S. stands compared to its allies in digital service delivery. Top lawmakers on the House Financial Services Committee are using the stretch run of this congressional term to address the impact artificial intelligence has on the finance and housing sectors. Reps. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., and Maxine Waters, D-Calif., the chair and ranking member of the committee, respectively, announced Monday the introduction of a resolution to acknowledge the rising use of AI in financial services and in the housing industry, as well as a bill that calls on financial regulatory agencies to study the benefits of the technology within the sector. The resolution and bill are the culmination of nearly a year of work from the committee's bipartisan AI working group and come just days before a hearing that will explore how the technology is framing the future of finance. In an era where personal data is increasingly commodified, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is attempting to regulate the sprawling industry of data brokers. A newly proposed rule released Tuesday aims to put data brokers in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), ensuring accountability and consumer privacy amid widespread security issues. Initially established in 1970, the FCRA was one of the first pieces of legislation aimed at protecting consumer privacy. The proposed changes by the CFPB intend to broaden the law to include data brokers, holding them to the same standards as traditional consumer reporting agencies such as Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. The CFPB's proposed rule redefines consumer reports to encompass any broker that obtains personal data related to credit and financial assessment.

For Republicans like Missouri Congresswoman Ann Wagner, intraparty rancor was a recurring theme throughout the past two years in the U.S. House of Representatives. Because of a fairly small majority, and Democratic control of the Senate and the White House, House Republicans weren't able to accomplish many of their priorities. And the schisms within the House GOP became so bad that a renegade group of lawmakers teamed up with House Democrats to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy. But throughout the tumult, Wagner said on the latest episode of the Politically Speaking podcast she's been able to get things done both on the House floor and on the House Financial Services Committee. She's also pointed to her advocacy for Boeing, one of the St. Louis region's biggest employers. “There are ways to get things done in divided government,” Wagner said. “I do reach across the aisle. I believe that I am part of the governing portion of this House.”

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (07/09/2024): 3:05pm- During a chaotic White House press briefing on Monday, reporters grilled Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre over a report that a Parkinson's disease specialist has visited the White House multiple times in recent months. Tuesday's presser didn't go much better. Jean Pierre blamed Biden's poor debate performance on a cold and emphasized it was not the result of a neurological disorder. She went on to explain that the president immediately visited North Carolina, Georgia, New York, and New Jersey—illustrating his strength. So, was he just spreading his germs to potential voters? Despite spending a considerable amount of time attempting to claim President Biden is in perfect health, Jean Pierre was unable to provide a reasonable explanation as to why a Parkinson's doctor has visited the White House so frequently. Is the White House participating in a massive cover-up? 3:25pm- In a new piece documenting White House aides hiding President Joe Biden's diminishing health from the public, the Wall Street Journal writes of one previously undocumented incident: “German officials, aware of Biden's fatigue at night, sought to accommodate the president by planning a June 2022 event with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in the early evening. The informal event, a soiree at the Alpine resort Schloss Elmau during the Group of Seven summit, was arranged as a confidential meeting on Ukraine in a relaxed setting. Biden didn't show, surprising the chancellor and his aides, officials said. Instead, Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived and announced that Biden had to go to bed, according to two people who were there.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/joe-biden-age-public-election-campaign-343a47bf?mod=hp_lead_pos7 3:30pm- During Tuesday's press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre claimed that “if I have said, or misled in something that I have said—or I haven't had the full information, I actually own up to it.” But as Rich notes, she has participated in weeks and weeks of gaslighting—amounting to a cover-up. 3:45pm- At one point during Tuesday's White House press conference, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked: “Say the Pentagon, at some point, picks up an incoming nuke—it's 11pm. Who do you call? The First Lady?” 4:05pm- In his latest opinion article for The Wall Street Journal, former Counsel to the Chairman of the Federal Election Commission Charlie Spies writes: “If [President Joe] Biden drops out before the Democratic Party formally makes him its nominee, then Federal Election Commission rules dictate that no more than $2,000 of any campaign funds that he raised may be transferred to any other candidate, including [Vice President Kamala] Harris.” You can read the full op-ed here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-has-100-million-reasons-to-stay-in-election-finance-d8a2dfdf?mod=opinion_lead_pos5 4:20pm- While speaking with Sean Hannity on Fox News, presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump suggested that if Democrats remove Joe Biden at the top of their ticket it'll be Kamala Harris that takes his place. 4:30pm- Daniel Chaitlin of The Daily Wire reports: “President Joe Biden formally rejected on Monday a bill in Congress that would require individuals to show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in elections for federal office. A policy statement from the Biden administration said it ‘strongly opposes' the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which was introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) earlier this year and is expected to get a vote in the Republican-led House as early as this week, but did not mention the prospect of a veto.” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-formally-opposes-bill-requiring-voters-prove-citizenship?topStoryPosition=3 4:50pm- Who will Donald Trump pick to be his running mate? Doug Burgum? Marco Rubio? J.D. Vance? Plus, why is Matt not invited to the White House Easter Egg Roll? 5:05pm- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and Congresswoman Veronica Escobar reiterated their support for President Joe Biden's reelection campaign when asked by the press. Notably, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal said “she's not here to give advice” to her colleagues and that discussions about Biden's ability to serve as president for another four-years should be made in “private.” 5:15pm- J.D. Tuccille of Reason.com writes that “the New York State government agreed to subsidize news media.” He continues: “With audiences declining for news reports, many very concerned people have called on governments to do something to prop up outlets failing to win enough public support to keep the lights on. That something comes in the form of money unlikely to win back an indifferent public but that stabilizes employment prospects for reporters. The result may be that journalists will cater to state officials rather than woo readers and viewers.” You can read the full article here: https://reason.com/2024/07/08/if-you-dont-trust-media-now-wait-until-its-government-funded/ 5:35pm- Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said that it was not uncommon for First Lady Jill Biden to attend meetings with President Joe Biden. 5:40pm- At one point during Tuesday's White House press conference, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked: “Say the Pentagon, at some point, picks up an incoming nuke—it's 11pm. Who do you call? The First Lady?” 5:55pm- A New York Times article suggests that Kamala Harris' team is already looking into potential running mates should Joe Biden step aside, making her the nominee. The Harris team's shortlist includes Governors Josh Shapiro (PA), Andy Beshear (KY), and Roy Cooper (NC). 6:05pm- Things go off the rails quickly in the six o'clock hour: Matt says pizza from Italy is overrated, a man collected every single Wawa sandwich receipt numbered 0 to 999, and Rep. Cori Bush is still crazy. 6:15pm- While appearing on The View, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer confirmed that she would support Kamala Harris were she to become the Democrat party's presidential nominee. 6:20pm- CNN Political Director David Chalian examined polling data post-presidential debate, revealing: “Pre-debate, Donald Trump had a two-point edge in a poll...49% to 47%. That's a pretty close race. You see post-debate Donald Trump has stayed the same. He didn't grow his support with the debate, but Joe Biden took on some water. He is down to 44%. And that's a five-point lead in the poll for Donald Trump…But we are now talking about the light blue states, perhaps Minnesota, Virginia, New Mexico that are leaning Democratic.” He also explained that Trump now has a 10% advantage with independent voters.  6:35pm- First Lady Jill Biden now has her own entrance music…and it's just as terrible as you're imagining. One caller suggests it sounds like something Oompa Loompas would dance to. Hey look! There is Augustus Gloop! 6:40pm- While speaking before the House Financial Services Committee, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen denied that Joe Biden's cabinet members have ever considered invoking the 25th Amendment to replace him.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Things go off the rails quickly in the six o'clock hour: Matt says pizza from Italy is overrated, a man collected every single Wawa sandwich receipt numbered 0 to 999, and Rep. Cori Bush is still crazy. 6:15pm- While appearing on The View, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer confirmed that she would support Kamala Harris were she to become the Democrat party's presidential nominee. 6:20pm- CNN Political Director David Chalian examined polling data post-presidential debate, revealing: “Pre-debate, Donald Trump had a two-point edge in a poll...49% to 47%. That's a pretty close race. You see post-debate Donald Trump has stayed the same. He didn't grow his support with the debate, but Joe Biden took on some water. He is down to 44%. And that's a five-point lead in the poll for Donald Trump…But we are now talking about the light blue states, perhaps Minnesota, Virginia, New Mexico that are leaning Democratic.” He also explained that Trump now has a 10% advantage with independent voters.  6:35pm- First Lady Jill Biden now has her own entrance music…and it's just as terrible as you're imagining.

But fighting hate speech in academia while upholding freedom of speech is a tricky line to balance. That's why Reps. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Ritchie Torres (D-NY) are introducing the COLUMBIA Act – which would empower the Department of Education to appoint independent antisemitism monitors on campuses of concern – and were pioneers of the Antisemitism Awareness Act, which codifies the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of antisemitism. We talk about the role Civil Rights Act Title VI protections play for institutions receiving federal funding and get into how foreign actors are helping spread antisemitism in the US.Representative Mike Lawler represents New York's 17th Congressional District. Prior to serving in the House of Representatives, Rep. Lawler represented New York's 97th District in the State Assembly.
