The Daily Signal - What You Need to Know About Critical Race Theory
Critical race theory is fast becoming part of classroom curriculums and the larger culture in general.
The Heritage Foundation recently hosted a panel discussion breaking down what critical race theory is and why it poses a threat. The event features insights from several Heritage scholars and policy experts.
On today's podcast, we share the audio from the event, “The New Intolerance: Critical Race Theory and Its Grip on America.”
We also cover these stories:
- Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., says that soon-to-be-ex-President Donald Trump is partly to blame for the breaching of the Capitol by rioters on Jan. 6.
- Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, says she isn’t sure it’s constitutional to hold an impeachment trial for a president after he has left office.
- The United States says China is committing genocide with its repression and forced labor of the Uighurs and other Muslim minorities.
Enjoy the show!

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Goldman Sachs Can No Longer Dismiss Bitcoin
According to a Goldman insider, the investment bank will leap into crypto custody soon.

Today on the Brief:
- Gary Gensler is officially Biden’s pick for SEC chairman
- Investors are betting against the U.S. dollar
- Grayscale has best day ever with $700 million in investment
- Ethereum reaches new all-time high
Our main discussion: Goldman Sachs reportedly coming to crypto.
Over the last year, many traditional financial institutions have recanted previous skepticism to join the bitcoin space. For most of that time, Goldman Sachs has been a noticeable holdout, saying as recently as last May that bitcoin and cryptocurrency weren’t an asset class.
According to new reports from a Goldman insider, all that is finally changing as the bank prepares a crypto custody strategy. The change in attitude is inspired at least in part by the recent rulings from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
