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!

This Machine Kills - 36. Theory of the Thought Leader (ft. Riley Quinn)

We’re joined by co-host of TrashFuture – and friend of TMK from the start – Riley Quinn as we examine the brain of the Thought Leader. Forged in the fires of the financial crash, driven mad by Internet induced techno-optimism, brains smoothly polished by the infinite growth of a zero interest rate world – the modern day Thought Leader is the charlatan in the court of tech capital. They spend their days promoting Big Ideas Books that contain remarkably little thinking, while asserting all the solutions to complex societal problems. But that’s okay because they aren’t really meant to be read by anybody anyways. Unless, of course, you’re Riley. Follow Riley (https://twitter.com/raaleh) and listen to TrashFuture (https://trashfuturepodcast.podbean.com/). Of course you’re already doing both, right?

Consider This from NPR - The 46th President: How Tragedy And Resilience Prepared Joe Biden To Meet A Moment

When Joe Biden takes the oath of office at noon ET on Wednesday, he will become the oldest president to ever hold the office. His journey to the White House spans nearly half a century in public life.

New Yorker writer Evan Osnos has written a book about that journey called Joe Biden: The Life, The Run, And What Matters Now. He explains how Biden's deep "acquaintance with suffering" prepared him to meet the country at a moment of grief and loss.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

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.

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io.

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.
