Crypto Week in Washington is heating up and so is the market! On today's episode I, RA George, break down everything you need to know:✅ U.S. House Voting – Crypto Bills: 3 key acts in play — GENIUS Act (stablecoin rules), CLARITY Act (defining SEC vs. CFTC), and the Anti‑CBDC Act to stop a Federal Reserve surveillance coin. The drama? 210 Democrats voted NO on Anti‑CBDC while only three — Mary Peltola, Marie Perez, and Jared Golden — backed it. After a messy Tuesday vote, Trump pressure flipped GOP votes on Wednesday and now the GENIUS Act is heading for a full vote with the others to follow.
Mike Johnson, the US Speaker of the House, has called for the Justice Department to release the files of deceased sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein. President Donald Trump has been facing increased backlash from fellow Republicans for not properly handling the case - which Trump campaigned on getting to the bottom of.

In this episode of The Industrial Real Estate Show, I sat down with Rick Walker, a guest with an incredibly diverse background. He built a company to 400 employees, scaled a nonprofit into 50 countries, ran for Congress, and even had a one-on-one meeting with President Trump. Rick shared how he transitioned into real estate by rolling his broker fees into equity, which led to launching a $500 million fund focused on industrial development in Texas. We covered a lot of ground, including current market conditions, challenges around site selection and power access, and the growing concern of rising property taxes. We also talked about his new book, which is full of practical advice for men looking to find purpose and take action. One idea that stood out to me was his concept of choosing a "worthy enemy" as a way to spark momentum. His message about hope really resonated. Even a small amount, he said, can push back against any threat.About Rick:Rick began in the poverty of a two-bedroom home, with big dreams and low self esteem. Borrowing $1,000 from his Mom he founded and took one business to 400 employees by the time he was 26. He scaled another company into 6 states. At the same time he led a nonprofit expansion into 53 countries and added over a thousand staff. All in his 20's and 30's while dealing with personal and health issues. And even with terrorists threatening him.Now in his late 40's, he advises some of the world's most powerful families and for the first time reveals his simplified 9 Steps process.His podcasts and talks communicate deep insights into how mankind functions, rooted in his acquired knowledge of ancient literature, world religions, strategy, and the arts. His central claim is that each of these domains communicates truth.His background beyond business includes serving as Chairman of a $150MM charitable foundation and director of a Middle Eastern religious college, concurrently. He hosts a podcast featuring long-form conversations with the most powerful members of the US Senate, US House of Representatives, the Presidential Cabinet, Fortune 500 CEOs, billionaires, and fellow multi-domain polymaths.Rick currently serves at a private equity firm he founded with a group of wealthy families and is the author of a forthcoming book on seeing through the world. Residing in Texas with his wife of 23 years and three mostly teenage daughters, his free time is consumed by sports, ballet lessons, and secret milkshake runs.His 3:30 AM wake-up call helps fit everything in.Rick's Book (9 Steps to Build a Life of Meaning):https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4LS82GP?maas=maas_adg_654449B84E0741CBE9174F2514BACA9C_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maasRick's Newsletter: https://funnel.rickwalker.com/optin?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=hostlastnameRick on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rickwalkertxRick on X: https://x.com/RickWalkerTXRick at Lumicre Private Equity: https://lumicre.com/ Rick's Website: https://www.rickwalker.com--

The US House of Representatives has narrowly approved President Trump's budget bill, despite the Democratic leader in the House delaying the vote for more than eight-and-a-half hours with a marathon speech.

We'll review reaction to the new state budget deal, perhaps best summed up as having something for everyone to like—and hate. The Joint Finance Committee passed it on Tuesday, so the full Senate and Assembly will both be in session today to consider it. Meanwhile, the US Senate passed the largest transfer of wealth and ending of healthcare coverage in American history—but that doesn't mean Republicans in the US House will send it on to President Trump.

Cynthia McKinney has made a career of speaking her mind and challenging authority. With her opinions, actions, and even her sense of style, McKinney has inspired both admiration and controversy. McKinney´s political career began unofficially in 1986 when her father, Georgia State Representative Billy McKinney, put her name on the ballot as a write-in. Cynthia McKinney was living in Jamaica at the time and did not take the matter seriously; still, she garnered a large percentage of votes without even trying. Two years later, McKinney ran for and won the seat, creating the first father/daughter combination to serve together in the Georgia State House of Representatives. Cynthia immediately began making her own mark, defying House dress codes for women by wearing trousers instead of dresses. She spoke out against the first Persian Gulf War, and despite being in the House with her father, she often disagreed and voted against him. In 1992, McKinney won a seat in the US House of Representatives in Georgia´s newly created 11th district. She was the first African-American woman to represent Georgia in the US Congress. McKinney became Secretary of her Democratic freshman class and was placed on both the Agricultural Committee and the International Relations Committee. Her gold tennis shoes and braided hairstyle became her trademarks, and effectively raised her profile on a House floor dominated by white men. Though a Democrat during President Clinton's tenure, McKinney voted against NAFTA, showing that she was not one to simply follow the Party line. McKinney worked hard in Washington to clean up pollution in her district and improve its rural roads. During her second term, McKinney earned distinctive committee assignments with the National Security Committee and the International Relations Committee's International Operations and Human Rights Subcommittee. A supporter of a Palestinian State in Israel-occupied territory, she sparked controversy by criticizing American policy in the Middle East. After the 9/11 attacks, McKinney suggested the President might have had prior knowledge of 9/11. The criticism she received from this highly controversial idea probably contributed to her defeat in the 2002 election; however, she ran for the seat again and was re-elected in 2004. Between terms in office, McKinney traveled the country and Europe, speaking against the war in Iraq war and also about her 2002 defeat, which she attributed to Republicans being organized to “cross over” to vote against her in the Democratic primaries. Her career, including this episode of her defeat, was made into a documentary film titled American Blackout. Once back in office, she continued her criticism of the Bush administration on the first anniversary of the 9/11 Commission Report by gathering victims' families and intelligence experts together on panels to address the flaws in the report and critique its recommendations regarding foreign and domestic policy. Believing the government should not keep secrets from the people, McKinney introduced legislation to release the documents related to the death of Tupac Shakur and twice submitted a bill to release the sealed documents pertaining to Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. McKinney was very active in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and a vocal critic of the government's response. When Democratic Party leaders encouraged a boycott of a Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina, she chose to participate and submitted her own report on the matter. In 2007, McKinney left the Democratic Party to become a Presidential Candidate for the Green Party.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

This conversation with Joe Cecala will blow your mind. We're talking about the real barriers keeping brilliant entrepreneurs from accessing capital markets. Joe's not just some financial guy throwing around theory. He's a former US Army cavalry officer, civil rights lawyer, securities lawyer, AND CPA who's literally creating new stock exchanges. Most people think there's only NYSE and NASDAQ. That's it. But there's this massive gap between raising your first few hundred thousand and getting to Goldman Sachs knocking on your door. Joe spent 14 years and met with over 200 members of Congress to create legislation that passed unanimously multiple times.
