On June 28, 2024, the Supreme Court issued its 6-2 decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and its 6-3 decision in Relentless Inc. v. Department of Commerce. These decisions overturning Chevron v. NRDC (1984) may notably change the nature of the administrative state and the role of judges in reviewing agency actions moving forward.
Join us as we will discuss and break down the decision and the potential future impacts of this sea change in administrative law.

Vecchione, Senior Litigation Counsel, New Civil Liberties Alliance (Moderator) Prof. Kristin E.

Today, we talk about the rural vote and the positioning of Tim Walz as the rural whisperer. Will it work? Is there such a thing as a “rural identity” that might look at Walz and gravitate towards him? What’s the thinking behind all that? To help us through it, we talked to Paolo Cremidis, the organizer of the recent Rural Americans for Harris Zoom call and the executive director of the Outrun coalition.
Topics covered: Ice skating rinks turned into giant Fiji water bottles, running back Obama, the Sims, how the culture warriors of the right misunderstand rural voters and what rural voters actually want.

In tonight's episode: a strange, twisting tale of hidden history. While most people these days associate the Nazi party with the horrors of World War II, Nazis were active far before that time. Join Ben and Matt as they delve into the story of two vast conspiracies: the Nazi plan to infiltrate American government, business and academia, versus the US plan to stop them. At the center of this bizarre story: Leon G. Turrou. To some, he saved the country. To others, he came all too close to bungling the job.

The Yaqui people fought for centuries against Spanish missionaries, miners, slave-traders, and the iron-fisted, anti-Indigenous rule of the Mexican government in the latter part of the 19th Century. Once the dominant culture in what is now Sonora, Yaqui populations were eventually diminished from conflict, disease, and even deportation out of their homelands. They eventually won back a significant portion of their traditional homeland in 1930. We recognize the Yaqui people on the anniversary of a significant battle alongside Mexican revolutionaries against both Mexican and American forces.
Caitlin Long and lawyer Michelle Kaplan explain why Custodia Bank felt compelled to sue the Fed.
Caitlin Long, founder and CEO of Custodia Bank, and Michelle Kallen, partner at Jenner & Block, join the podcast to discuss Custodia’s legal battle with the Federal Reserve—a fight that has drawn significant attention in the crypto industry.
Custodia, established as a special purpose depository institution in Wyoming, aimed to offer secure banking services for the crypto sector. Despite meeting state requirements and taking extra steps to demonstrate its commitment to safety, Custodia’s application for a Fed master account was met with delays and ultimately denied in an unprecedented 86-page report.
In this episode, Caitlin and Michelle explains why they believe the Fed’s rejection was politically motivated, how this relates to a operation Choke Point 2.0, the appalling small number of American banks owned by women, where they are in their lawsuit against the Fed, and what this case means for the future of crypto banking in the U.S.
Show highlights:
What Custodia Bank is and how it got started in Wyoming
How Custodia got into a fight with the Fed to get its master account
How the dual banking system works in the U.S. and the differences between Custodia and traditional banks
Why Custodia filed a lawsuit against its own regulator
Why the Fed denied Custodia its applications and Caitlin’s response to the criticisms
The political coordination meant to “intimidate” Custodia, according to Caitlin
The amicus briefs that were filed in favor of Custodia
Caitlin’s reaction to the Fed’s enforcement action against Customers Bank
Why Caitlin says that it’s “abusive and corporatist” that the SEC is granting exceptions to big banks
Why so few banks are owned by women and whether this played a role in Custodia’s denial
The next steps in Custodia’s case and whether a stablecoin is viable for them
Whether the elections are going to impact the case
