1. Last night, I saw that the rapper, 50 Cent, is now endorsing President Trump due to the Biden tax plan. Many people are looking at this very closely. I have mentioned this on the show numerous times. People making over 400K a year are going to be hammered with a 16% tax increase. That plan would crush small businesses and many entrepreneurs. Plus, if the corporate tax rate is changed to 28% from 21% that would cause many foreign companies to leave and do business elsewhere. 2. Yesterday's stock market was all about the stimulus bill, but we have not heard much about it today. Supposedly, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin and Speaker Pelosi are talking today, but we have not heard any details yet. We are just 2 weeks away from the election, so if there is a deal to be made before the election it must be made soon. Overall it won’t matter in the long run, but for the short run it’s having an outsized impact. States won’t start opening up until after the election. It’s all about fear, not science as Governor Andy Cuomo3. Gold and silver a little pop. Gold futures up a little. Miners and junior miners up a little. Not a bad day there. Just trading in line with the market. Doing the sideways dance. Some more

Carl Quintanilla, David Faber and Leslie Picker discussed today’s stock rally, looking to snap a 3-day losing streak as September retail sales surprise to the upside.

Markets also paying close attention to Speaker Pelosi, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin and the state of stimulus talks -- with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell saying another coronavirus aid package is needed. Also on the COVID-19 front: Carl, David and Jim weighed in on comments by the CEO of Gilead Sciences, which released final data from a study of its remdesivir anti-viral treatment.

In this episode, Jamil Jaffer, Bruce Schneier, and I mull over the Treasury announcement that really raises the stakes even higher for ransomware victim.  The message from Treasury seems to be that if the ransomware gang is the subject of OFAC sanctions, as many are, the victim needs to call Treasury and ask for a license to pay – a request that starts with a “presumption of denial.”    Someone has been launching a series of coordinated attacks designed to disrupt Trickbot Bruce explains. CFIUS is baring its teeth on more than one front. First comes news that a newly resourced CFIUS staff has begun retroactively scrutinizing past Chinese tech investments. This is the first widespread reconsideration of investments that escaped notice when they were first made, and it could turn ugly. Next comes evidence that the TikTok talks with CFIUS could be getting ugly themselves, as Nate Jones tells us that Treasury Secretary Mnuchin has laid down the elements the US must have if TikTok is to escape a shutdown. None of us think this ends well for TikTok, as China and the US try to prove how tough they are by asking for mutually exclusive structures. The US government is giving US companies some free advice about how to keep sending their data to the U.S. despite the European Court of Justice decision in Schrems II: First-time participant Charles Helleputte offers a European counterpoint to my perspective, but we both agree that there's a lot of value in the U.S. white paper. If nothing else, it offers a defensible basis for most companies to conclude that they can use the standard contractual clauses to send data to the US notwithstanding the court's egregiously anti-American opinion. The court may not agree with the white paper, but the reasoning could buy everyone another three years and might be the basis of yet another U.S.-EU agreement. The UK seems to be preparing to take Bruce's advice on regulating IOT security plan, but he thinks that banning easy default passwords is just table stakes.  Bruce and I once again review the bidding on voting by phone, and once again we agree: No. Just No.  Nate questions the press stories (and FBI director testimony) claiming that the FBI is pivoting to a new strategy for punishing hackers by sending Cyber Command after them. He thinks it's less a pivot and more good interagency citizenship, which I suspect is still a change of pace for the Bureau. Bruce and I explore the possibility of attributing exploits to individuals based on their coding style. You might say that their quirks leave fingerprints for the authorities, except that at least one hapless hacker has one-upped them by leaving his actual fingerprints behind in an effort to get himself approved in a biometric authentication system.  And in updates, we note that Microsoft has a new and unsurprising annual report on cyberattacks it has seen; the Senate will be subpoenaing the CEOs of Big Social to talk section 230 in an upcoming  hearing; and the House intel committee has a bunch of suggestions for improving the performance of the intelligence community against evolving threats from Beijing.  And more!  Oh, and we have new theme music, courtesy of Ken Weissman of Weissman Sound Design.  Hope you like it!   Download the 331st Episode (mp3) You can subscribe to The Cyberlaw Podcast using iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Pocket Casts, or our RSS feed.

It took 20 days from President Trump signing an executive memorandum to defer certain payroll tax obligations for Treasury Secretary Mnuchin to issue Notice 2020-65 and provide guidance to employers on the how to execute the payroll tax holiday. Treasury’s guidance also came just two business days before the deferral period was set to start on September 1, leaving absurdly little time for employers to potentially reconfigure payroll systems and implement the change.

Goldman Sachs Bets On Masks, FedEx Earnings Report Rallies & Mnuchin Elaborates On COVID Economic Impact – Daily Financial News Summary for Tuesday, June 30, 2020 The final day of June resulted in the completion of the best quarter that Wall Street has seen since 2001. The Dow Jones rose by 0.85%, the NASDAQ by 1.87%, and the S&P 500 by 1.54%. The Dow Jones was up 16.9% for the quarter, and the S&P 500 was up 19.3% for the quarter. Gold rose sharply by 1.1% today.

Treasury Secretary Mnuchin spoke to the House Financial Services Committee today about the United State's economy's chance of recovery: “We are in a strong position to recover because the administration work[ed] with Congress on a bipartisan basis to pass legislation and provide liquidity to markets in record time. In addition, the PPP is keeping tens of millions of workers connected to their jobs. Economic impact payments are also helping millions of families and workers through these challenging months.” He also spoke about expecting more stimulus funding to be sent soon. Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases spoke about Covid19 before a Senate panel today. He said that if Americans do not start to change their daily behavior, the rate of new infections could increase to 100,000 per day.

Many Americans have never heard of the term ‘sinking fund.' Not having knowledge about this means that they are depriving themselves of the financial benefit of using a sinking fund. When polled, about 40% of Americans stated that they would struggle with covering a $400 emergency expense. Sinking funds are methods of putting money aside for a rainy day, so it is not as difficult to pay for something in an emergency situation.

This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for Thursday June 18th, 2020. New modeling from PolicyLab, at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, shows Florida has the potential to become the next epicenter for COVID-19 in the U.S. According to The Washington Post, Researchers say the risk of widespread community transmission is “the worst it has ever been”. The Director of the division of infectious diseases at the University of Alabama, said the spike in Florida is concerning due to the state’s aging population and number of nursing homes and retirement communities. There are 82,711 confirmed cases and have been 3,017 deaths. Three of the highest daily case counts have been reported in the last 5 days. Transparency in data released by the state health department has been questioned. In late April, the State Medical Examiner’s report noted a higher death rate than what the health department was releasing. The health department, stopped the release of the Medical Examiners report. In May, the doctor who created and updated Florida’s official coronavirus dashboard, was fired for what she says was refusal to manipulate the data. The Governor of Arizona authorized local governments to require masks. Prior to this, local governments were not allowed to mandate anything more stringent than what the state dictated. New York City and Washington DC will enter Phase II of reopening on Monday. Over 1.5 million Americans filed for first time unemployment benefits last week. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, said the Trump administration is “very seriously considering” another round of stimulus checks. Chile will reinstate some restrictions as cases spike after a backlog of 31,000 cases were discovered. The President of Honduras was hospitalized for pneumonia Wednesday night.

Major averages tumbling on the heels of comments from the Chairman of the Federal Reserve yesterday and reopening fears. Fed Chairman Powell saying, “We’re not thinking about raising rates.

This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for Friday May 22nd, 2020. The U.S. recorded over 25,000 new cases yesterday and 1,314 deaths. 6 states show a rise in cases over the last two weeks, including one that seemed relatively safe earlier in the outbreak. Maine reported their highest two-day total since the outbreak began. They have 1,877 confirmed cases, 136 of those were reported in the last two days. The state has been fairly aggressive with restrictions. The statewide stay at home order is in effect until June 1st, though some personal care business were allowed to reopen on May 1st. A 14-day quarantine for anyone entering the state remains in effect through August. So why the jump? According to the Maine government website, the state increased testing on May 18th. Allowing health care providers to test anyone they suspected of having the virus. A grant from the CDC will expand testing across the state over the next few weeks, so the numbers may continue to rise as more Maine residents get tested. The CDC revised guidance on how the virus spreads, noting that touching contaminated objects or surfaces is not a significant mode of transmission. Primary spread is from person to person. The CDC has updated their modeling and is estimating that about 35% of COVID-19 cases are asymptomatic. President Trump echoed Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, stating he thinks there will be an additional stimulus package. Flags will be flown at half-staff for the next three days to honor victims of COVID-19. Yosemite National Park hopes to reopen in June. Reservations will be required.

Additional measures are expected to be put in place at the White House after two staff members working on the campus tested positive for novel coronavirus. One measure under consideration is that aides must maintain a six-foot social distance during meetings, including meetings with President Trump. But while sources say there may be more mask-wearing by aides, it will not be a requirement. Just this morning, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin was seen walking past the West Wing without a mask, followed by another man who had a mask on his forehead.  The president is scheduled to deliver remarks today in the Rose Garden on the role of testing in reopening the country. It remains to be seen if there will be masks present. ABC's Andy Field joins us live from Washington with more.

Today I tell you about why Treasury said they set yesterday's deadline for Social Security recipients with dependents under the age of 17, what Governor Andrew Cuomo thought of Mitch McConnell's comments about state bankruptcy, and how much Treasury Secretary Mnuchin says the U.S. has to spend in order to get through this troubled time.Of course, I also answer several viewers' questions that they left in the comments of the YouTube version, covering topics such as the EIDL grants, what happens if your stimulus is wrong, what to do if your tax preparer used the incorrect routing number, and more.The stimulus I am referring to is the CARES Act that was signed into law on March 27, 2020.The information I am sharing is current as of the morning of April 23, 2020.However, the government is changing its mind on the stimulus on an almost daily basis, so any information stated in this episode may change tomorrow.

  Let's kick off this episode's theme with a quote from Andy Andrews, author of, Bottom of the Pool.  "You have the power to choose every moment of every day, what YOU do with your time is entirely up to you.  You can invest it wisely or waste it foolishly.  By choosing how to invest your time, it follows that you are also choosing what you learn, how much you learn, how deeply you understand what you've learned, what your imagination makes of it——and in what fashion you act upon whatever that might be." ----more---- Somewhere along the line, the decisions that were made by the government in their haste to solve the consumer need, we got broken along the way. When they solved one problem, what happened is we had three to four new problems that surfaced. The very first problem was all the money that the federal reserve was pushing out in the market buying mortgage-backed securities. They were creating inequality of supply and demand and they were flooding the market with money. Now that money was creating instability and now we have ups and downs, this 2.5% coupon is just the 30-year coupon that we watched similarly to the 10-year treasury. So forget about the specific bond that I'm tracking, but this is the one that we track when we associate what is our 30 year fixed loans doing, our mortgage loans. So you'd have ups and downs, but within each day, you had very little volatility. Then the fed started pushing out all this money and every single day was a massive swing. Think of a property manager. Property managers don't own assets and they don't have savings accounts specific to that property. They're managing your property. So that rent check comes in every month from that, they take their cut, their 10%, they pay all the bills for any maintenance that needed to happen that week or that month. They might take care of any other expenses and then they cut you a net check. So they don't have a massive piggy bank to take care of what happens if the rents don't still come in, but I'm still required to pay my owners. It doesn't work that way. FHA said, "You know what? We're just going to wait and see." Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin is saying, "No, we need the stability of the mortgage market to create stability in the real estate market. It was stable coming in. We needed to be stable going out and this is how we do it." He's leaning in on FHA to make that happen and he's reassuring that it will happen. Now the treasury doesn't have the ability to do it on their own, but he's certainly behind it. So is Federal Chair Powell. Powell Absolutely gets it, he sees it. And interestingly enough, Mnuchin and Powell have become allies in all of this and they're going against the FHA director, Mark Calabria. Housing is going to get worse before it gets better, but it is going to get better. And it's a timing thing. Remember we didn't start this until mid-March. We're only now in mid-April. It feels like forever. It feels like forever because we're trapped in our homes. But when it comes to financial positioning, we don't quite know where it is yet. Because remember all of the statistics for March were only half right. And now April is not over yet. So what does April's number's going to look like? But it is going to get worse before it gets better. But it will be much better when we come out of this. One of the things that I know is true is because the housing market was so strong coming into it right up until March, the pending home sales were still strong. They still had people that we're buying. I mean, we had a phenomenal January, February, and March. Even April is off the charts and it's because everybody that we had in the pipeline, what's May to look like? But we came into this very strong. Inventory was our problem. Any of the numbers that were weak, sales numbers that were weaker than they should have been was because of inventory. But January and February were phenomenal. We had a 6.25% growth in median sales price just in January and February alone. Again, because of the lack of supply, but the demand was off the charts. Remember that yes, manufacturing was down, but consumer spending was like phenomenal and consumer spending is 70% of the GDP. People's wages were up, spending was up, savings were up, they were feeling good. Colorado was the number two wage growth. We had consistent job growth week over week, and we had a really strong mortgage and financial environment as well. So if there was a time, and that's the silver lining I'm hanging on to, it's the time that we came into this being strong, we're going to come out of it strong.

video: https://youtu.be/CUI01OLcS30 U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin held a press conference today where he spoke about the dangers of cryptocurrency and why he's not comfortable with Facebook launching its own currency, the Libra. Because politicians can sometimes be difficult to understand, I have gone to the trouble of translating what he actually meant for everyone. Major takeaway: Bitcoin and Libra are both threatening to the govt, and it is the Treasury Secretary's job to protect the USD at all costs.

In this episode, the Bruthas pay tribute to fallen rapper, entrepreneur and activist Nipsey Hussle. In doing so, they talk about the challenges (and necessity) of not forgetting where you came from. And in other Los Angeles-rated news, the Bruthas discuss the surprise Magic Johnson resignation from the Lakers and the (not at all) surprising clapback by South Central’s own Auntie Maxine Waters against Treasury Secretary Mnuchin. In national black news, the Bruthas report on the arrest of the suspected black church arsonist in Louisiana. And in galactic black news, they discuss what is (falsely) being reported as the first images of a black hole. Finally, the Bruthas turn film critics analyze Jordan Peele’s latest cinematic thriller, Us. Spoiler alert: One of the Bruthas see the film as an unprecedented artistic achievement, while the older (and wider) Brutha just wants his eight fiddy back.

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS This Week’s Discussion: In this week’s episode we talk about Treasury Secretary Mnuchin and President Trump seeking to calm financial markets in light of worst stock market month since the Great Depression.  We discuss the latest on the government shutdown and what it means to have the criminal and the insane running the country, including the continuing power of the right-wing fringes and the need for a really big...wall.  The Trump Foundation, aka the Trump family pocketbook, is shut down.  Does this mean we might talk about it for a while, rather than an actual charity like the Clinton Global Initiative?  Nah!  The departure of the stabilizing influence of Defense Secretary "Mad Dog" Mattis and what is left "running" the country as Trump lashes out wildly at all around him, including Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and anyone else he can blame for his incompetence.  The war in Syria ends?  The battle against ISIS as well?  Which former President is Trump most like?  (Hint: it's the one whose presidential fate we want him to share.)  And yet, if we can just survive Trump, there are so many hopeful signs for the future as Republican shibboleths continue to go up in flames.  IF.       *Also available on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube -Please SUBSCRIBE   THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS Forward Nation Radio with Professor David Leventhal    Visit forwardnationradio.com for all shows, fun toons, stats, and more.

Dollar Getting Hammered Gold and oil are breaking out, the dollar is breaking down, bonds continue to break down, and no one cares! Nobody is worried.  The Dow was up today, although it finished up closer to the lows it was up a lot more earlier in the day although the dollar was getting hammered before the stock market opened and they still bid it up, but the S&P, the NASDAQ and the Russel 2000 all finished in the red, but the losses weren't that big. It's based on the fact that nobody even understands what's going on - what it means. Bass Ackwards In fact, they actually got it bass ackwards. You actually have people who think that a weak dollar is good and that rising inflation is a sign of economic growth.  So, there's nothing to worry about! First, let's look at what happened.  Dollar index; that was, I'd say the star of the day - or not the star because it did horrible, do you wouldn't give the dollar a star.  But it was down about 1 full percent. It closed at 89.25 on the dollar index. We cut through 90 like a hot knife through butter.  I think the next stop is a moving average at around 85, and we could be there pretty quickly.  We are headed lower quickly on the dollar. Mnuchin: "A Weak Dollar is Good for America!" In fact, one of the things that helped the dollar fall today (I think it would have fallen anyway) was Treasury Secretary Mnuchin's comments that he made to day over at Davos; he's trying to encourage foreigners to invest in America.  So he said, "A weak dollar is good for America, it's good for business, we're open for business, so he said he welcomes the weak dollar. This is supposed to make foreign investors feel better about investing in America? You're telling foreign investors that if you invest in America, you're going to lose, because you're going to lose on the foreign exchange. Anybody Who Invests in the U.S. Today Will See Losses My clients know what that feels, because we were investing in foreign stocks during years when foreign currencies were falling against the dollar. So, on paper our accounts were going down.  Anybody who invests in the U.S. today will see losses.  The dollar is going to fall even more.  So right now, the dollar is weak; the last thing you want to do is invest in the United States.  You want to invest in markets where the currencies are strong.
