President Donald Trump called out countries trying to regulate U.S. tech companies earlier this week, warning they could face new tariffs. The White House has struck a provisional trade deal with the European Union, but tensions remain over the bloc's sweeping tech laws, like the Digital Services Act, which requires platforms to moderate illegal content and disinformation.

Trump is finding a handy enforcer in an unexpected place. Instead of focusing on the housing finance system, America's top housing regulator is honing in on Trump's political enemies. Bill Pulte is searching through property records looking for ways to accuse people (Senator Adam Schiff, NY AG Letitia James and Fed. Governor Lisa Cook) of mortgage fraud with the threat of a criminal investigation. How did Pulte's new job as the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chair of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac end up morphing into this attack dog position? Presidential historian and political analyst John Rothmann is back! We'll ask him about this and more. Trump is stopping key wind turbine projects at a time when spending on renewable energy is on the rise. We turn to eco-journalist Belinda Waymouth for “ It's the Planet, Stupid!” to find out why.

What happens when the very people meant to uphold justice become the ones exploiting it? In the 1760s, North Carolina farmers watched sheriffs pocket their tax payments, judges rule in favor of corrupt land speculators, and government officials literally steal their land, all while claiming to represent the Crown's interests. Nathan Schultz, a public historian and the Site Manager at the Alamance Battleground State Historic Site in North Carolina, joins us to explore the North Carolina Regulator Movement.

State regulators are moving to strip back clean energy mandates for the state's power companies. They want to leave it to the free market, but the attorney general says it's illegal. Plus, what's behind earth's unprecedented loss of fresh water over the last few decades?

In July 2020, New York state regulators fined Deutsche Bank $150 million for its failure to properly monitor its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, along with other high-risk clients. The New York Department of Financial Services (DFS) determined that the bank ignored clear warning signs while maintaining Epstein as a client from 2013 to 2018, years after his 2008 sex-crime conviction. Regulators found that Deutsche Bank processed millions in suspicious transactions for Epstein, including payments to women with Eastern European surnames and large cash withdrawals that should have triggered scrutiny. The DFS concluded that the bank chose profit over compliance, prioritizing Epstein's business despite internal concerns that he posed legal and reputational risks.The fine was the first major enforcement action against a financial institution for its role in facilitating Epstein's activities. Regulators detailed how Deutsche Bank repeatedly failed to file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) despite obvious red flags tied to Epstein's network of shell companies and payments structured to look like consulting or tuition expenses. The settlement required Deutsche Bank to improve oversight and compliance systems, but it also underscored a larger problem: financial institutions were essential enablers of Epstein's empire, allowing him to move money and maintain access to elite circles even after his conviction. The $150 million penalty was significant in size, yet critics argued it was still a slap on the wrist for a global bank that had enabled Epstein's financial maneuvering for years.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/07/jeffrey-epstein-case-deutsche-bank-fined-150-million-penalty-for-relationship.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Even in death, Jeffrey Epstein remains a spectral presence in global finance. His actions have left banks like JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, and Barclays scrambling to defend decades of questionable client relations—as regulatory probes, lawsuits, and U.S. Virgin Islands settlements continue to reverberate. The chilling reality: Epstein's systemic influence didn't die with him. His network outlived him, and institutions complicit in his crimes are still facing the consequences—proof that financial wrongdoing can outlive the criminal itself, with reputational and monetary costs that linger, decade after decade.Yet this tangled legacy also ignited some unexpected reform. Regulators have slapped Deutsche Bank with massive fines for ignoring red flags, while JPMorgan's settlements—totaling hundreds of millions—force the bank to face human trafficking implications tied to Epstein. The fallout has inspired proposals for tougher compliance standards, better oversight of “high risk” clients, and enhanced anti-money laundering measures. It's a vivid reminder that institutional inertia can perpetuate abuse, but Epstein's exposure has also made financial gatekeepers more alert—reluctantly, and under duress.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Hiltzik: Making Epstein's banks pay for his crimes - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode of the Tech On Demand podcast, brought to you by GrowerTalks, host Bill Calkins sat down with SePRO's Technical Development Manager (and PestTalks e-newsletter editor) JC Chong to discuss plant growth regulators. PGRs are critical for greenhouse professionals but really haven't been covered much on the podcast. Now's the time! JC and Bill start off with a conversation about what PGRs are and what they do before jumping into a few specific products, including SePRO's Topflor and A-Rest. Topflor is a gibberellic acid biosynthesis inhibitor (Class B)—active ingredient Flurprimidol. It offers some unique benefits in production, which JC covers in an informational way. JC outlines crops that respond particularly well (and some that don't) and what you can expect from crops treated with the product. JC also explains some of the more common rates and application methods and a handy tool from SePRO to take a lot of the guesswork out of PGR application. JC is a researcher and has worked with the SePRO team and growers across North America to better use PGRs to achieve a variety of goals and has a lot of practical information to share. You'll want to listen all the way to the end of this episode because when Bill and JC chat, you never know what to expect! WATCH THE VIDEO VERSION!

Last week, following months of negotiation and just weeks before the first legal deadlines under the EU AI Act take effect, the European Commission published the final Code of Practice on General-Purpose AI. The Code is voluntary and intended to help companies demonstrate compliance with the AI Act. It sets out detailed expectations around transparency, copyright, and measures to mitigate systemic risks. Signatories will need to publish summaries of training data, avoid unauthorized use of copyrighted content, and establish internal frameworks to monitor risks. Companies that sign on will see a “reduced administrative burden” and greater legal clarity, the Commission said. At the same time, both European and American tech companies have raised concerns about the AI Act's implementation timeline, with some calling to “stop the clock” on the AI Act's rollout.To learn more, Tech Policy Press associate editor Ramsha Jahangir spoke to Luca Bertuzzi, senior AI correspondent at MLex, to unpack the final Code of Practice on GPAI, why it matters, and how it fits into the broader rollout of the AI Act.

In this fast-moving, fraud-fighting episode of Talking Real Money, Tom Cock is joined by longtime consumer advocate Herb Weisbaum (aka The ConsumerMan) to expose two of the fastest-growing scams in the U.S.: predatory solar sales and the “pig butchering” crypto scam. Herb details the dangerous combination of shady sales reps and shadowy financing pushing overpriced, underperforming solar systems door-to-door. Then, the duo dives into long-con crypto scams, deepfake romance cons, and the weaponization of AI for fraud. Herb doesn't hold back—calling crypto “sheer stupidity” and buy-now-pay-later schemes a gateway to regret.
