The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is set to withdraw a Biden-era rule aimed at cracking down on data brokers and their selling of Americans' personal and financial information. In a notice in the Federal Register, the CFPB said legislative rulemaking on the data broker industry “is not necessary or appropriate at this time,” and the agency does not plan to “take any further action” on the proposal. The notice was issued by Russell Vought, acting director of the agency, head of the Office of Management and Budget and a Project 2025 architect. The withdrawal of the rule, which was first reported by Wired, comes after President Donald Trump's initial nominee to lead the CFPB signaled to Congress in February an openness to continuing Biden administration data-broker rules. Jonathan McKernan, a former Treasury Department and Federal Housing Finance Agency staffer, told the Senate Banking Committee that Rohit Chopra — President Joe Biden's CFPB director — “was onto something” with his policies targeting data brokers and data aggregators. The CFPB's withdrawal notice took particular issue with the rule's focus on the Fair Credit Reporting Act, saying that the proposal was “not aligned with the Bureau's current interpretation of the FCRA, which it is in the process of revising.” The Senate on Wednesday voted 54-43 to confirm businessman Emil Michael as undersecretary of defense for research and engineering and the Pentagon's chief technology officer. In that position, Michael will serve as the primary advisor to the secretary of defense and other Defense Department leaders on tech development and transition, prototyping, experimentation, and management of testing ranges and activities. He'll also be in charge of synchronizing science and technology efforts across the DOD. Michael comes to the job from the private sector, where he's been a business executive, advisor and investor. He told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee that he's been involved with more than 50 different tech companies during his career. Perhaps most notable, from 2013 to 2017, he was chief business officer at Uber. In government, he previously served as special assistant to the secretary of defense when Robert Gates was Pentagon chief. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Our guests, Dr. Evan Fortunato (President & CEO, Apogee Research), Kirk McConnell (retired Professional Staff Member on the Senate Armed Services Committee), and Robert “Otis” Winkler (Vice President, Kratos Defense & Security Solutions) join the podcast for a discussion on Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA). During this episode, they cover the operational advantages and acquisition risks, how recent legislation affects the Department of Defense's adoption of MOSA practices, and how to think about standards as a barrier or enabler of modular and open systems. The podcast also discusses potential tools for creating interoperable systems.To receive updates about the NDIA Emerging Technologies for Defense Conference and Exhibition on August 27-29, 2025 at the Washington D.C.

The House on Thursday passed a budget plan that lays the groundwork for extending President Donald Trump's 2017 tax cuts, despite opposition from all Democrats and two Republicans who worried that it does not cut spending sufficiently. The 216-214 House vote is a preliminary - but required - step that would enable Republicans to bypass Democratic opposition and pass tax cut legislation along party lines later this year.The European Union will pause its first countermeasures against U.S. tariffs after Trump temporarily lowered the hefty duties he recently imposed on dozens of countries, European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Thursday. The bloc was due to launch counter-tariffs on about 21 billion euros ($23.25 billion) of U.S. imports from next Tuesday in response to Trump's 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum. The EU is still assessing how to respond to U.S. car tariffs and the broader 10 percent levies still in place.Military officials are testifying on Thursday before the Senate Armed Services Committee on the national security challenges and the military posture of U.S. armed forces in the Indo-Pacific region.
Last week, the Senate Armed Services Committee held a confirmation hearing for the man President Trump has selected to be the Nation's top military officer: Lieutenant General John Caine. This warrior's replacement of Joe Biden's Joint Chiefs Chairman, General C.Q. Brown, couldn't be more welcome – or needed. General Caine, known by his Air Force pilot's call sign “Raizin,” was not only selected over myriad active duty four-star officers. He was also pulled out of retirement to take on this key job at a particularly fraught moment. In contrast to the previous chairman, he has focused on war-fighting, rather than promoting divisive, cultural Marxist “Woke” agendas. The Trump team of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman Raizin Caine promises to provide the reboot of our military we urgently need. Let us pray they have time to reestablish the practice of “peace through strength.” This is Frank Gaffney.
This week, the Geeks wade into a swamp of tech meltdowns, governmental facepalms, and the usual Elon-flavored absurdity. Kicking things off, protesters take their beef with Tesla to the streets while Proud Boys decide this is the hill to vroom and die on. Meanwhile, Elon's privacy prayers have finally been answered—thanks to new FAA rules, he and Tay-Tay can jet around untracked like it's 1999. Oh, and while Earth dodges a killer asteroid, the Moon might be signing up for an unplanned smackdown. Sorry, Luna.In the news, Signal's reputation as the go-to encrypted app takes a nosedive thanks to Republican Senate drama and an Inspector General with receipts. The NSA warned us. Nobody listened. Now it's “SignalGate” season. Elon continues his narcissist Voltron strategy by having xAI buy X (from Elon). Trump, meanwhile, is moonwalking into a $2.3B Truth Social payday, while his meme coin tanks post-tariff tantrum. OpenAI flexes with new AGI funding and 700M AI-generated images (probably 699M of them cursed), while the first therapy chatbot actually helps someone and a brain-voice interface starts sounding a lot like Skynet: The Prequel. Oh, and in shocking news: Trump's war on “information silos” is code for “your personal data is about to be someone else's business.”Media Candy serves up a grab bag from punk docs (Turn It Around) to jungle pulp throwbacks (Tales of the Gold Monkey), and yes—Stephen Collins is still problematic. Apple's prepping new AI-powered health apps, emoji drops, and a food tab for News+, because why not. WhatsApp now wants to be your phone, Alexa+ disappoints, and Zuckerberg tries to make Facebook usable again with a “Friends-only” feed. Meanwhile, Bill Gates pulls a nostalgia flex by dropping OG Microsoft source code like it's a rare vinyl. In other dark corners: Kermit the Frog is now giving commencement speeches, Val Kilmer sadly exits stage left, and Elon fails in his bid to buy a state supreme court. Hands off, Elon. Just… hands off.Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

In a letter to President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a group of lawmakers is urging the Defense Department to 'immediately reverse policies' that they say attempt to erase records of troops' historic accomplishments. The four lawmakers signedonto the letter are veterans who serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee. The lawmakers said content about record-breaking combat flight hours by female aviators, medal recipients within segregated combat units during the World Wars and historical contributions of Native American servicemembers is being removed indiscriminately. Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell said Thursday that “history is not DEI,” and that when content is “mistakenly or maliciously” removed, the department continues to work quickly to restore it.

In this episode of Building the Base, Lauren and Hondo sit down with Eric Lofgren, a professional staff member on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Eric provides an insider's perspective on the need for comprehensive acquisition reform. He discusses his unexpected path to this role, initially joining a defense contractor before becoming deeply interested in the history and economics of the system. Eric emphasizes the FoRGED Act's goal of being a "game changer" by addressing requirements, contracting, budgeting, and cultural factors. He highlights the importance of engaging industry, especially non-traditional companies, to inform policy changes. Eric's insights underscore the complexity of acquisition reform and the call for bold, integrated solutions to modernize defense procurement.Five key takeaways from today's episode: Eric is currently working with Chairman Wicker and SASC members to champion the FoRGED (Fostering Reform and Government Efficiency in Defense) Act. Exec Sum here: Restoring Freedom's Forge: American Innovation UnleashedA dedicated student of history, Eric has logged many hours in the Pentagon Library to learn the historical context of past acquisition models, rather than just iterating on the current system.Eric initially took a job at a defense contractor after graduating, thinking it would just be a two-year stint, but he became attached to the mission and started delving into the history and economics of defense acquisition, which ultimately led him to his current role on the Senate Armed Services Committee.Engaging with industry, especially non-traditional/commercial companies, is crucial to understand challenges and inform policy changes. The professional staff of SASC welcomes direct outreach.Eric recommends "cutting the red tape" by reviewing and eliminating outdated or unnecessary pilot programs, reporting requirements, and other regulatory burdens that are not providing value to the DoD acquisition process.
On today's program, sponsored by HII, Byron Callan of the independent Washington research firm Capital Alpha Partners and Chris Servello, the co-host of our Cavas Ships podcast joins Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman's mark, the Trump administration's effective messaging that bolstered the president's popularity, Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth actively shapes his narrative at the Pentagon, how the administration can avoid making cuts that only create bigger future headaches, impact of President Trump's new steel and aluminum tariffs, analysis of defense and aerospace earnings and 10K reports, and a look at the week ahead.
Despite opposition from Democrats as well as Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, it is looking almost certain that by tomorrow night that former Fox Weekend Morning host Pete Hegseth will be running the Defense Department. Today, CNN learned that Hegseth told the Senate Armed Services Committee that he paid $50,000 as part of a confidentiality agreement to a woman who alleged he sexually assaulted her back in 2017. Manu Raju has the latest from Capitol Hill. Plus, President Trump has now ended Secret Service protection for two of his former top officials. The question tonight: Did he do it because they've spoken up against him?

Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — President Trump has taken his first actions of his second term in the White House. Trump signed nine executive orders to cheers from his supporters in front of a sold-out crowd at the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC. He rescinding almost 80 of former President Biden's executive actions, and signed orders that included a regulatory freeze, one that requires federal workers back in office five days a week, and a withdraw from the Paris Climate Treaty. Two ---- The U.S. Senate has passed the Laken Riley Act. It now moves to the House after garnering 64 votes in the upper chamber. The bill is aimed at expanding the federal government's mandate to detain immigrants who are in the country illegally. The Laken Riley Act is named after a Georgia nursing school student who was murdered last year by an illegal immigrant. And number three — The Senate Armed Services Committee has voted to send Pete Hegseth's nomination to be defense secretary to the Senate floor. All 14 Republicans voted in favor of Hegseth, while all 13 Democrats voted against. The nomination now moves to the full Senate. If all Republicans vote “yes,” Hegseth will be the nation's next Defense Secretary.
It's Inauguration Day, Monday, January 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Indonesian officials allow church permit Want some good news about our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ? Well, a church in East Jakarta, Indonesia, is getting a home after 56 years without one, reports International Christian Concern. The Pasundan Christian Church Congregation of Kampung Tengah recently received a certificate of ownership from Nusron Wahid, the minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning. The certificate handover, which took place on Christmas Day 2024, marked the end of the congregation's long journey in obtaining legal certainty for the land they use as a place of worship. As officially recognized landowners, the congregation, established in 1968, can now conduct worship more calmly and comfortably. President-elect Donald Trump to be sworn in today Today, President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in to serve a second term as the 47th president of the United States of America. The swearing-in ceremony, which is expected to begin at 12 noon Eastern Time, will feature Trump getting sworn in on two Bibles – the Bible his mother gave him in 1955 at First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, New York and the Bible Abraham Lincoln used in 1861, reports The Hill.com. Exodus 18:21 offers guidance for selecting civic leadership. Our leaders should be “men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain.” Because of the frigid weather forecast today in the nation's capital, Trump's inauguration ceremony has been moved indoors to the Capitol rotunda. The last time the ceremony was held indoors was in January 1985 for President Ronald Reagan. Country music star Carrie Underwood will perform “America the Beautiful.” Other performers include Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Lee Greenwood as well as Liberty University's Praise Choir. You can watch the inauguration on any major news outlet and at CSPAN beginning at 12 noon Eastern. Trump's Defense Chief pick affirms support for Israel In the midst of the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Trump nominee Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense, a protestor interrupted the proceedings to make this verbal accusation against Hegseth. PROTESTOR: “You are a Christian Zionist.” Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas followed up with this comment and question. COTTON: “The first one accused you of being a Christian Zionist. I'm not really sure why that is a bad thing. I'm a Christian. I'm a Zionist. Zionism is that the Jewish people deserve a homeland in the ancient holy land where they've lived since the dawn of history. Do you consider yourself a Christian Zionist?” HEGSETH: “I'm a Christian, and I robustly support the State of Israel and its existential defense. And the way America comes alongside them as a great ally. COTTON: “Great. Thank you. Another protester, and I think this one was a member of Code Pink, which, by the way, is a Chinese communist front group these days, said that you support Israel's war in Gaza. I support Israel's existential war in Gaza. I assume, like me and President Trump, you support that war as well, don't you?” HEGSETH: “Senator, I do. I support Israel destroying and killing every last member of Hamas.” Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has vowed to uphold Trump's pro-life policies Following four years of the Biden administration reversing the pro-life federal policies established during President Trump's first term, Republican senators are expressing confidence that the incoming Trump administration will re-implement pro-life policies, reports LifeNews.com. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris allowed federal funds to go to abortion businesses, blocked pregnancy resource centers from receiving federal funds, and used tax dollars to promote abortion internationally. After Trump nominated former Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to serve as his secretary for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, concerns arose that pro-life policies would be sidelined. During his presidential run, Kennedy had called the abortion issue “nuanced and complex” and also said that the state should not “dictate choices that the woman is making” regarding abortion. He has also previously supported (and walked back support for) three-month pro-life protections. However, Senate Republicans like Josh Hawley of Missouri say they have received personal assurances from Kennedy that he will not pursue pro-abortion policies while in office and will, in fact, enact pro-life ones. Last month, Hawley posted a series of tweets describing his conversation with Kennedy regarding the issue. Hawley wrote, Kennedy “committed to me to reinstate President Trump's pro-life policies at HHS. That includes reinstating the Mexico City policy & ending taxpayer funding for abortions domestically.” The senator further noted Kennedy's promise to have all pro-life deputies at Health and Human Services, and that he “believes there are far too many abortions in the US and that we cannot be the moral leader of the free world with abortion rates so high.” In addition, Hawley stated that Kennedy promised to reinstate “the bar on Title X funds going to organizations that promote abortion” and to “reinstate conscience protections for healthcare providers.” This morning, Biden that “the Equal Rights Amendment is now the law of the land.” Well, there you have it: The Constitution has a 28th amendment, and women's rights have been enshrined across the country. Biden falsely claimed Equal Rights Amendment part of Constitution On Friday, President Joe Biden falsely claimed that the Equal Rights Amendment had become the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Listen. BIDEN: “Just over 100 years ago, a pioneering group of women proposed Equal Rights Amendment to enshrine the principles of gender equality our Constitution. Throughout my career, I've been clear. No one should be discriminated against based on their sex. “And in order for the amendment to be ratified, it requires three-fourths of the states to ratify it. That benchmark was passed when Virginia ratified the E.R.A. a few years ago. “Today, I affirm the Equal Rights Amendment to have cleared all the necessary hurdles to be added to the U.S. Constitution now. The Equal Rights Amendment is the law of the land now. It's the 28th Amendment to the Constitution now. “I consulted dozens of constitutional scholars to make sure there was all within the power to do this, and the fact is, we did.” However, according to the National Archive and Records Administration Archivist Colleen Shogan, the Equal Rights Amendment died on June 30, 1982 when only 35 states ratified it, reports The Epoch Times. 50,000 Scriptural booklets will be handed to inauguration attendees Dozens of volunteers led by a Florida-based Christian ministry are expecting to give out 50,000 Bible booklets to attendees at the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump today, reports The Christian Post. The evangelistic organization Faith & Liberty, working with Seedline International and HOPE to the Hill, will pass out the Bible booklets, which contain the scriptural books of John and Romans, to commemorate President Donald Trump's 2025 Inauguration. Peggy Nienaber, the Senior Vice President of Faith & Liberty, said, “In times of national division like America has recently seen, a new presidential administration can offer hope. The commemorative scripture booklets were published for this significant occasion for that same reason — to offer hope to people in the Savior Jesus Christ.” In Isaiah 55:11, God said, “My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Inauguration Day, Monday, January 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Ryan Corbett, an American businessman, moved to Afghanistan in 2010 with his family and became actively involved in the community. In August 2022, he, along with several others, was captured and detained by the Taliban after returning to the Middle East to renew his business visa and pay his employees. Since then, his wife, Anna Corbett, has been advocating for his release and pleading with the Biden administration for assistance. Anna joined the Rundown to share Ryan's story, describe her efforts to secure her husband's release, and express her hopes for the incoming administration.

Summary President-elect Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, appears before the Senate Armed Services Committee. Hegseth, a veteran, author and former Fox News host, faced tough questions on his personal and professional record. Jenna breaks down the three key takeaways of this four-hour hearing. Takeaways The Secretary of Defense is a historically significant role. The hearing revealed deep partisan divides in questioning. Hegseth's non-traditional background was acknowledged. Allegations against Hegseth became a focal point for Democrats. Republicans emphasized the military's culture and Hegseth's Christianity.

Pete Hegseth appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee with a powerful opening statement. He vowed that the Defense Department under President Trump and himself will achieve peace through strength. In these pursuits, America's first national security goals will remain patriotically apolitical and stridently constitutional. He withstood multiple interruptions from disruptors and attacks on his character from Democratic Senators. The vote to determine if Hegseth will be our next Secretary of Defense takes place on Monday, January 20th. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene joins us today, she recently met with President Trump at Mar-a-lago to discuss California wildfires, budget reconciliation and the debt ceiling. Governor Newsom went full jazz hands as he embarrassingly tried to explain what the plan is to rebuild Los Angeles. MTG supports Speaker Johnson asking for accountability from Governor Newsom and LA mayor Karen Bass before Congress sends aid to California leaders. More drones are flying unchecked, this time over the White House, MTG's plane had to be rerouted because of the drones and she is calling for answers.
