This mini-episode is part of our Inside The Story series, where we highlight some of The Lever's original reporting and speak with the journalists who wrote the story. Frank Cappello speaks with Andrew Perez who details their new story published by The Lever:“For years, Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) led the fight to protect one of the most controversial provisions in the entire tax code — a loophole criticized by presidents of both parties that allows a handful of private equity executives to pay a lower tax rate than other high earners.Now, Toomey is being rewarded with a seat on the board of a private equity giant that has lobbied to preserve that tax loophole.”To read the full story, click here.If you enjoyed this story and want to support independent journalism, you can go to LeverNews.com to subscribe to our free newsletter or become a paid supporter. 

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (10/24/2022): 3:05pm- According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), Pennsylvania and New Jersey student reading and math scores have decreased since 2019—indicating that pandemic school shutdowns have had an impact on childhood learning. 3:20pm- During a recent Board of Education meeting in Lawrence Township, NJ, one member suggested that parents have no right to determine what curriculum their children will ultimately end up learning in school. 3:45pm- According to a recent Wick Insights poll of likely voters, Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz now leads Democrat John Fetterman 49.1% to 44.6% in their race for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA). 3:50pm- Senator Patty Murray (D- WA) told CNN's Dana Bash that even in hindsight, she does not regret school shutdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the 2022 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), student math scores in every state have declined sharply since 2019. 3:55pm- In a recent opinion editorial for the Wall Street Journal, Kimberley Strassel explained that Georgia's record-setting early midterm voting “exposes” the lie that election integrity laws adopted by the state would result in suppressing votes and amounted to “Jim Crow 2.0”. 4:05pm- According to a report from the Daily Wire, the U.S. State Department appropriated $20,000 for a drag show in Ecuador. 4:20pm- Mattel has announced the creation of its first “gender-neutral” doll—referring to it as a “doll for everyone.” Mattel's Cultural Expert Jess Weiner explained that the doll was created because “parents are concerned about genderizing toys.” 4:40pm- During Sunday's episode of “Face the Nation”, anchor Margaret Brennan spoke with a focus group consisting of Republican, Democrat, and Independent voters. Brennan was surprised by how much agreement there was between the voters on issues like the economy, crime, and “woke” ideology, despite their differing party affiliations. 5:05pm- Appearing on CBS's Face the Nation, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi stated that it's a misconception to say Democrats care more about abortion access than the economy—she also insisted that inflation is a “global phenomenon” and not the fault of President Joe Biden or Democrats in the Legislative Branch. 5:15pm- While speaking with Jake Tapper on CNN, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) blamed over 50% of inflation on “corporate greed.” 5:30pm- Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) appeared on Monday's episode of the The View, with the appearance going about as well as you would imagine—filled with fiery exchanges over election denial, disruptions from the audience, and Ana Navarro reprimanding Sen. Cruz for speaking too loudly. 5:40pm- Another group of radical climate change protesters have targeted a beloved piece of art for desecration—this time it was “Grainstacks” by French Impressionist Claude Monet at the Barberini Museum in Germany. The activists splattered the $100 million painting with mashed potatoes. In an opinion editorial featured in the New York Times, Andres Malm—an associate professor of human ecology at Lund University and the author of “How to Blow Up a Pipeline: Learning to Fight in a World on Fire”—encouraged destructive behavior that targets the fossil fuel industry writing, “[a]s for the ethics of property destruction, it is not, in this case, very complicated. Fossil fuels kill people. If you disrupt the flow of such fuels and damage the machinery they impel, you prevent deaths. You stop the perpetration of harm. You may destroy an inanimate object.” 6:05pm- According to an NBC News report, Ron DeSantis could become the first Republican Florida Governor to win Miami-Dade County in over 20 years—since Jeb Bush in 2002. Miami-Dade is 70% Hispanic. The Atlantic's Jemele Hill wrote of DeSantis' support within the Hispanic community: "proximity to whiteness is a real thing. Also reminds me of an adage I heard a long time ago about how the oppressed begin to take on the traits of the oppressor.” 6:15pm- On Monday, while speaking at the Democratic National Committee's headquarters in Washington D.C., President Joe Biden once again blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for inflation and vowed to ban assault weapons. 6:30pm- Fox News pieced together a hilarious montage of President Joe Biden “berating, scolding, and insulting reporters.” 6:35pm- During a rally in Robstown, Texas on Saturday, former President Donald Trump stated he will “probably have to” run for president again in 2024. 6:50pm- Contrary to narratives being pushed by many members of the national and international media, British Prime Minister Liz Truss' resignation should not be mistaken as a reason for American politicians to avoid tax cuts in the future. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board explains: “She is being made the scapegoat for the economic policy blunders that the ruling Conservatives have made over 12 years in power, and especially since 2019 under previous Prime Minister Boris Johnson. 6:55pm- Who Won Social Media? +Zeoli's Final Thought

Senators have reached a deal to pass veterans health care legislation, after the GOP blocked the legislation last week and pushed for multiple amendments. At his weekly press conference, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said leadership had reached agreement to vote on three amendments at a 60-vote threshold and then pass the legislation, which boosts health care benefits for veterans exposed to toxic substances such as Agent Orange and burn pits. He confirmed shortly after that he had the necessary buy-in from senators to quickly vote on the measure on the floor. "I believe it will pass and pass this evening, so that's very good news," Schumer added. The three amendments that will get votes are from Sens. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.), according to a Democratic aide.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why did Republican Senators vote against The PACT Act?! Which would give care and benefits to vets dying from exposure to toxic burn pits in war zones? We checked in with Tim Jensen, combat vet and Grunt Style apparel 1st Sgt, who was spending the night on the Capitol steps in DC for a "Fire Watch" protest. He and millions of other vets are literally ready to fight for this bill, but it seems all the US Senate wants to do is play politics.Republicans claim Democrats put a "budget gimmick" in the bill so they can spend more money on pork projects. Democrats claim Republicans won't pay for vets dying from diseases they developed after fighting wars they voted for.Jensen said, "What we have here is partisan politics, where the veteran is left holding the bag .. only this time the bag is tied to death."We examined who really obstructed over veterans, and Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA). Is he a coward or a puppet ... or both?(Note: Sen. Toomey declined all requests for an interview)And how pathetic voting against this was, especially for Sen.

Every year, $408 billion is spent processing, transporting, storing, and disposing of food that never gets eaten. That's millions of pounds of fresh food—24% of all food in the U.S.—going to waste, instead of nourishing the 42 million Americans expected to experience food insecurity in 2021. Join WW International – who is leading cross-sector efforts related to food and nutrition access – and Food Tank, in a special virtual panel to discuss the new bipartisan legislation, introduced by US Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Pat Toomey (R-PA), designed to strengthen the 1996 Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act—and help fight senseless food waste and food insecurity.

On this episode of the Unhashed Podcast, we talk AMC accepting bitcoin, infrastructure bill shenanigans, Ee-lawn Musque's take on mining energy mix, how ETFs might or might not track the BTC price, half a billion dollars in a DeFi hack, and then finish off with some movie reviews.AMC Theaters will accept the cryptocurrency bitcoin for movie tickets and concessions in the U.S. by the end of 2021, according to CEO Adam Aron, who first made the announcement during an earnings call on Monday. The theater chain will also start accepting Apple Pay and Google Pay, but there are still plenty of important questions about AMC's bitcoin bet that haven't yet been answered. 'œI've had to learn more in the past six months about blockchain and cryptocurrency than I learned about it in the entire decade before that,' Aron told members of the conference call. 'œThis increased knowledge has given me the confidence to tell you all today that AMC is hereby formally announcing on this call that by year's end we will have the information technology systems in place to accept bitcoin,' Aron continued. Aron noted that all bitcoin purchases of movie tickets and concessions would need to happen online, leaving some question about whether customers would be able to change their purchases after they showed up to the theater.A compromise crypto amendment between senators Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), and the U.S. Treasury failed to make it into the final version of the infrastructure bill. Today in the Senate, Senator Toomey introduced a process known as Unanimous Consent, which required zero objections to pass a motion. Although support for the compromise agreement was widespread, it failed on the objection of Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL), who objected with the request of including a $50 billion defense amendment to the bill. Then in a last-ditch effort Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) asked for Unanimous Consent on his own amendment, which would have stricken the crypto language from the bill altogether. However, Shelby objected for the same reasons. There had been optimism this morning when the bi-partisan group of senators, which had been promoting competing agreements over the past few days, that the '˜problematic' language from the original bill would be struck before a final vote. In particular, Senators Ron Wyden (D-OE), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), and Pat Toomey (R-PA), objected to vague language that would require any node or miner, as well as software developers, to be categorized as a '˜broker' and produce 1099s for crypto users. The compromise language would have exempted these entities to primarily focus on crypto exchanges, such as Coinbase. The failure comes on the back of widespread crypto industry rallying, including more than 40,000 calls reportedly made to Senators by the non-profit Fight for the future. With no more paths to alter the bill's language, the next step in the process is for the $1.2 trillion bill to be voted on in its entirety by the Senate, which could happen anytime. Given the bi-partisan nature of the bill, it is expected to pass. It must then be reconciled with a version produced by the 435 member House of Representatives before getting signed by President Biden and becoming law. Actual implementation of the law is expected in 2023.Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company will likely start accepting bitcoin for vehicle purchases again. 'œIt looks like bitcoin is shifting a lot more toward renewables and a bunch of the heavy-duty coal plants that were being used...have been shut down, especially in China,' said Musk on Wednesday at The B-Word conference, an event hosted by the Crypto Council for Innovation. 'œI want to do a little more due diligence to confirm that the percentage of renewable energy usage is most likely at or above 50% and that there is a trend toward increasing that number. If so, Tesla will most likely resume accepting bitcoin,' he said. In May, Musk said on Twitter that the company would suspend vehicle purchases using bitcoin out of concern over the 'œrapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for bitcoin mining.' Since then, Beijing has cracked down on crypto, expelling the country's crypto miners, who have since begun to patriate elsewhere. New data from Cambridge University shows many miners are headed to the U.S., which is now the second-biggest destination for the world's bitcoin miners. The U.S. is home to some of the cheapest sources of power on the planet, which, more often than not, are renewable. Fred Thiel of Marathon Digital said most miners new to North America will be powered by renewables, or gas offset by renewable energy credits, and Compass CEO Whit Gibbs estimated that bitcoin mining in the U.S. is more than 50% powered by renewables. 'œLong-term, renewable energy will be the cheapest energy, but it doesn't just happen overnight,' Musk said. 'œBut as long as there is a conscious and determined, real effort by the mining community to move toward renewables, then obviously Tesla can support that.'French regulators have approved asset manager Melanion Capital to begin offering a bitcoin-tied exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the European Union. Though this asset does not have full correlation to the price of the world's number one cryptocurrency, its wide international market and 90%+ correlation marks major progress for investors' ability to gain bitcoin exposure. The struggle to create a legal, regulator-approved Bitcoin ETF has been a major ongoing development for years now. An ETF is a type of derivative that has its own value set to correspond with the value of some outside tangible or intangible asset, such as gold bullion or the growth in stocks of a specific private firm. The mechanisms of keeping this valuation on target can be a challenge, with slight fluctuations from the actual value to be expected, but complicated systems of arbitrage exist for most ETFs so that the asset managers can respond to changes in the financial world with speed and precision.Hackers allegedly breached blockchain-based platform Poly Network and extracted more than $600 million in cryptocurrencies on Tuesday, the company announced on Twitter, marking the biggest hack ever in the decentralized finance space that's heating up among investors. Crypto-exchange operators spoke out soon after the massive hack. Changpeng Zhao, the billionaire CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Binance said in tweets that the company, which serves as the primary operator of the blockchain on which binance coins are built, will coordinate with its security partners and 'œdo as much as [it] can' to help. Meanwhile, Jay Hao, the CEO of cryptocurrency exchange OKEx, said the company is "watching the flow of coins and will do [its] best to manage the situation." According to a series of tweets by Mudit Gupta, the contract with the funds on Ethereum was essentially controlled by a single key, so the "hack" may have been as simple as a custodian losing their key.

Title: In this episode of Tech Intersect, I reconnect with Cleve Mesidor, She is the founder and fearless leader of the National Policy Network of Women of Color in Blockchain, Policy Advisor to the Blockchain Association, and author of a memoir, The CLEVOLUTION. In episode 26, we had an authentic and empowering conversation about race, crypto, and financial inclusion. We explored the importance of education in black and brown communities by dramatically reducing barriers to entry and participation. And we also explored the importance of the lessons of freedom from Juneteenth as context for the broader conversation of economic empowerment.  In this time around, we decided to capture our real time reflections on the bipartisan compromise to a crypto tax provision in the Senate's $1 trillion infrastructure bill after a vote on Monday, August 9th.  U.S. Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) announced the compromise involving Democrats, Republicans and the Treasury Department earlier in the day, saying it would exempt crypto transaction validators from a broadened definition of “broker.”  One Senator stood in the way and blocked unanimous consent over an unrelated topic. But the industry showed strength and community.  We live to fight another day on the House side soon.SPONSORED BY ADVANTAGE EVANS™ ACADEMY Embark on a 3-day intimate (Aug 13-15), workshop-style course that includes live coaching, well-curated content and an Accreditable digital certificate of mastery so you can upskill in the competitive workforce with credentials that set you apart from the pack in the new economy. Regulation is an essential component of a healthy, thriving crypto ecosystem. And the legal implications of crypto, DeFi and NFTs sometimes seem as volatile and unpredictable as the price of Bitcoin. And speaking of Bitcoin, it will likely be the world reserve currency at some point, and will certainly be a national reserve to some countries. So building your digital cash wealth on a solid legal foundation is critical to creating and cultivating sustainable generational wealth with crypto assets.

Jake Tapper did not disappoint in his interview with Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA). He called out Jim Jordan & Jim Banks as liars. He made clear that the insurrection was a Republican event. Jake Tapper discussed the infrastructure deal with Pat Toomey. No breaking news here: Republicans still want the middle-class and poor to pay for the continued enrichment of the wealthy. Tapper then moved on to the Select Committee to investigate the January 6th insurrection. His first question did not disappoint in that he identified Reps. Jim Jordan and Jim Banks for exactly who they are.--- If you like what we do please do the following!

Texas Rep. Jon Rosenthal tells us why the delegation is remaining in DC. MSM reporters set the record straight on Nancy Pelosi's Select Committee. Tiffany Cross crosses out Megyn Kelly. District 135 Texas State Representative Jon Rosenthal discusses the delegation's escape to DC to save voter rights in Texas and beyond. He visited with us to detail why Texas Democrats are in DC and at what cost. Speaker Nancy Pelosi was forcefully defended from GOP misinformation on Select Committee by these reporters. WOW! These two reporters pushed back at both GOP narrative and misinformation as they defended Speaker Nancy Pelosi. REALLY! Tiffany Cross calls out Megyn Kelly's attack on Naomi Osaka and a pattern of attacking Black Women. When Megyn Kelly left Fox News, some may have believed she would try to attain some level of seriousness. After all, she could have been aided by the sympathy some felt after Trump attacked her for asking uncomfortable questions during a debate. Her rebirth was not to be. Jake Tapper did not disappoint in his interview with Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA). He called out Jim Jordan & Jim Banks as liars.

State Street, a U.S. custody bank that oversees about $40 trillion in assets, has launched a cryptocurrency division. State-chartered banks in Texas have been given the green light to custody crypto assets on behalf of their customers, a state regulator announced Thursday. Michael Arrington's crypto venture-capital firm, Arrington Capital Management, is launching a $100 million fund for bets on projects building on the Algorand blockchain. Michael tweeted that Algorand and XRP can work together. Indian newspaper The New Indian Express headlines with India may move to classify to make Bitcoin an asset class. A proposed Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) counterparty rule would impose a heavy burden on cryptocurrency firms but may not actually combat illicit activity, Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) wrote in a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. Nigeria may launch a central bank digital currency (CBDC) by the end of 2021, according to a central bank official.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has vowed to impeach US President Donald Trump less than two weeks before he leaves office.Dr. Clarence Lusane, author, activist and political science professor at Howard University, returns to talk about the aftermath of last week's Capitol Hill breach of the congressional complex. Pelosi has vowed to impeach Trump, as Republican members of Congress struggle with a response. Also, Sens. Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) have called for the president to resign.Niko House, political activist, independent journalist and podcaster, returns to The Critical Hour to discuss the recent spate of online social media bans. Trump has been permanently banned from Twitter, as have his lawyer Sidney Powell and recently the pardoned Michael Flynn. Also, Edward Snowden has released a statement warning that this move sets a dangerous precedent.Danny Sjursen, retired US Army major and author of "Patriotic Dissent: America in the Age of Endless War," joins us to discuss his recent article on US President-elect Joe Biden's selection of Victoria Nuland as undersecretary of state for political affairs. In the article, Sjursen reviews a number of the Biden nominees and explains how the selection of this group demonstrates the hawkish nature of the Biden foreign policy worldviewElisabeth Myers, lawyer, former editor-in-chief of Inside Arabia and democracy lead for Democrats Abroad, joins us to discuss the Trump administration's plan to designate the Houthi movement in Yemen as a terrorist organization. After almost six years of the worst humanitarian crisis on earth, humanitarian groups and international diplomats are concerned that this could complicate efforts to broker a peace agreement. Many political analysts believe that this is another effort to complicate potential moves by the Biden administration to mediate an end to the conflict. Nick Davies, peace activist and author of "Blood on Our Hands, the American Invasion and Destruction of Iraq," joins us to discuss new domestic terrorism legislation proposed by the incoming Biden administration. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has written a document outlining its opposition to proposed legislation that will allegedly address instances of domestic terrorism. Civil liberties advocates have compared the timing and introduction of this legislation to the Patriot Act being rolled out immediately after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Jareth Copus, author of "Ukraine: Forever a Pawn," joins us to discuss Biden's past dealings in Ukraine and his proposed foreign policy team. Copus utilizes his expertise on the eastern European nation to evaluate whether the anti-Russian hawks in the incoming Biden administration are likely to adjust course. Also, he discusses recent nominee Victoria Nuland and her contributions to the 2014 Maidan coup.KJ Noh, peace activist, writer and teacher, joins us to discuss China. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said over the weekend that he was lifting the US' "self-imposed restrictions" on contacts between its officials and their Taiwanese counterparts, which is likely to further strain relations between Washington and Beijing in the final days of the Trump administration. This announcement seems designed to complicate foreign policy matters for the incoming Biden team. Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and co-founder of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, joins us to discuss the latest on WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange. "UK judge Vanessa Baraitser justified CIA spying on Julian Assange by citing a falsehood-filled CNN report," according to a recent article in The Grayzone. Her judgment demonstrates the incestuous relationship between the media and the state. Also, Biden has selected William Burns, president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, to head the CIA.
