In Episode 126 of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America take listeners on a whirlwind tour of election-related bombshells, legal drama, and geopolitical intrigue. They open with a deep dive into ALEC's new task force on election reform, raising red flags over unnecessary NGO interference and its potentially shady ties to Visa and Time Warner. The hosts dissect the inconsistencies in prosecuting Trump's alternate electors in Arizona and blast the grand jury process that misrepresented federal law. The episode also tackles Oklahoma's bold move to include 2020 election discrepancies in high school curriculum, Smartmatic's international bribery scandal, and the ironic twist of Fox News finally getting access to damning evidence. CannCon and Ashe take a hard stance on foreign influence, criticizing Georgia for ignoring both Trump's executive order and state law on ballot integrity while applauding Arkansas for considering a full return to paper ballots. Just when you think it couldn't get weirder, they uncover the bizarre story of the World Zionist Congress elections, complete with ballot fraud, a parallel legal system, and billions in global funding. With fiery analysis, biting humor, and unapologetic patriotism, this episode is a must-listen for anyone fighting for free and fair elections.
After a gunman killed two Israeli embassy employees and shouted Free Palestine! as police led him away, America must be honest about the grooming of young progressive/liberal activists and the assassination culture fomented by the left.

James Comey goes on Stephen Colbert to lie about his seashells in the sand.
In this intense and emotional broadcast, hosts discuss the heartbreaking assassination of a young woman by a radicalized left-wing activist. They connect the tragedy to broader concerns about foreign nationals on student visas allegedly supporting terrorism on U.S. campuses. Citing recent remarks from Senator Marco Rubio and other officials, the segment explores the merging influence of foreign ideologies, the role of university organizations like Students for Justice in Palestine, and the urgent call to revoke visas tied to extremist activity. A fiery examination of national security, First Amendment boundaries, and the growing radical presence in higher education.

Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything about the family trip to Canada for the finale of Got Talent as well as FIVE tour shows in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto. The fancy children did not enjoy their premium economy experience but some people don't want to see kids in business class anyway. 'A Private Audience with BK' has inspired Katherine and Bobby to never host another party as it's too much at once and a few mums took issue with Violet being left in London to write her GCSE exams. Violet stirred up controversy at home posting her thoughts on Chris Brown being granted a VISA by the British Government just to be arrested at the Lowry Hotel in Salford and held in a Manchester prison (lol). Also, Diddy trial updates that come with a severe trigger warning. x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley break down Visa (ticker: V), the global payments powerhouse that acts as the invisible engine behind billions of transactions every day. Visa doesn't issue cards, lend money, or handle customer accounts — instead, it operates the network that connects banks, merchants, and consumers in over 200 countries. Whether you're tapping your card for a coffee, shopping online, or sending money abroad, there's a good chance Visa is taking a small slice behind the scenes. Visa is to the global economy what highways are to cars — an essential infrastructure layer that makes modern commerce move. In this episode, you'll learn how Visa evolved from a consortium of banks to a dominant public company, how it defends its massive competitive moat, where growth will come from beyond traditional card payments, whether emerging technologies like account-to-account payments pose a real threat, how to think about Visa's valuation, plus so much more!

Darryl Hicks, founder and CEO of FlexPay, takes us behind the scenes of a problem costing subscription businesses millions each month – failed payments and the resulting involuntary customer churn. From his early days cleaning toilets in his parents' commercial cleaning business to consulting for major telecom companies in the Twin Towers, Darryl shares his unique journey to founding a company that's now processing billions of transactions using sophisticated AI. What began as a solution he built for his own subscription businesses has evolved into a mission to fundamentally transform how payments work.FlexPay stands apart through deep partnerships with financial institutions, sharing crucial data that has traditionally been siloed between merchants and issuers. This approach allows their machine learning models to continuously improve. For subscription businesses experiencing millions in monthly failed payments, even small improvements in recovery rates translate to substantial revenue.The conversation reveals how payment system opacity creates unnecessary friction for legitimate commerce. When issuing banks make decisions without transparency – whether declining transactions due to suspected fraud or based on undisclosed policies against certain merchant categories – both businesses and consumers suffer. While excited about innovations like stable coins, Darryl remains pragmatic about the future of payments: "I would not bet against Visa and Mastercard." Rather than trying to replace traditional rails, he's focused on reducing friction within existing systems through better data sharing and transparency. For entrepreneurs, he emphasizes the importance of building strong advisory boards and following your natural passions.

Episode overview: In this conversation, Verto co-founder and CEO Ola Oyetayo shares the journey of building a cross-border payments platform that tackles the unique challenges African businesses face when making international transactions. Since graduating from Y Combinator in 2019, Verto has established itself as what Oyetayo describes as a profitable and cashflow positive fintech serving multiple African markets. Incidentally, the company recently made headlines after winning the prestigious $1 million Milken-Motsepe Prize in FinTech. He discusses his team's pragmatic approach to addressing payment barriers in emerging markets, why traditional financial institutions have failed to serve these regions effectively, and how technology can disrupt traditional banking networks that have historically excluded certain markets. Andile Masuku engages Oyetayo on the evolution of fintech in Africa, the role of privilege and networks in business success, and the future potential of stablecoins to revolutionise cross-border payments in ways that might prove more transformative for emerging markets than developed ones. Key topics: - Verto's position in the cross-border payments landscape - The strategic decision to focus on B2B rather than consumer payments - The untapped $286 billion trade flow between Africa and China - Why 96-97% of business cross-border payments still go through traditional banks - The innovator's dilemma Verto faces with the rise of stablecoins Notable points: 1. In 2018, Oyetayo launched Verto's business model alongside his co-founder Anthony Oduu after spotting a solutions gap for African businesses making international payments outside of traditional banks 2. Verto has been profitable and cash flow positive for approximately 18 months 3. How a chance meeting with legendary VC Vinod Khosla at YC in 2019 first turned him on to the stablecoin investment opportunity—years before they became mainstream 4. The company operates in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania and the Francophone region 5. Despite previous experience in institutional finance, Oyetayo admits "ignorance is bliss" helped him tackle a problem others saw as too risky 6. The potential of stablecoins to solve liquidity, volatility and capital control challenges in emerging markets Listen out for Oyetayo's take on Paystack's B2C play Zap, the fintech ecosystem implications of Moniepoint's "unicornification," and his contrarian insight that stablecoins will revolutionise emerging markets while having minimal impact in developed economies: "This is not a popular opinion... There's just no case for stablecoins in developed markets. People talk about, oh, it's going to disrupt Visa and MasterCard... I don't see that coming anytime soon." Image credit: Verto
