It's not going well for Joe Biden in the wake of the sweeping pardon he granted his son. Democrats are discomfited, Karine Jean-Pierre is at a loss, and mainstream media is despondent. Donald Trump, on the other hand, seems to be enjoying a honeymoon. We contrast his bold statement demanding the release of Hamas's hostages with the Biden approach. And we also delve a bit into what's happening in Ukraine. Give a listen.

Representatives from the Canadian government just traveled to northern Quebec to apologize to the Inuit people of Nunavik for the mass killing of sled dogs some six decades ago. The apology comes with $45 million in compensation. The actions are acknowledgement of the government’s callous regard for the wishes, much less the livelihoods, of the Inuit as it carried out the slaughter of more than 1,000 dogs. The money will go toward revitalizing sled dog culture through training and operational support. We'll hear about what brought on the action and how Nunavik Inuit worked to secure accountability. Jack Dorsey’s Block is making a new Bitcoin ASIC, including a custom shipment of chips to Core Scientific. We dig into the new unit on an exclusive show with the team!

Nick Mistry lives in the suburbs of Maryland, outside of Washington, DC. He has always been fascinated by cyber security, but most of all, its intersection with emerging technology. Outside of tech, he enjoys reading about human nature, through biographies of past leaders. He highly recommends the book Founding Brothers, which highlights the start of the US. He also enjoys spending time with his family outdoors, especially during the fall in the Northeast.
Around the time of the log4j exploit, Nick found himself troubled by the fact that people did not know if these exploits were included in their software. He spent months diving deep into this issue and talking with people in the industry, and eventually he connected with a prior colleague, working on this very concept.
