CoinDesk Podcast Network - Bitcoin Flirts With $120K as Traders Anticipate 98.9% Fed Rate Cut in October | CoinDesk Daily

Can bitcoin cross $120K in this run?

Bitcoin climbed higher on the back of a government shutdown and weaker-than-expected U.S. labor data. The largest crypto by market cap is flirting with the $120,000 level for the first time since mid August. This comes as the CME FedWatch predicts a 98.9% chance that the Fed will cut rates by 25 bps later this month. Will another cut boost BTC to a new high? CoinDesk’s Jennifer Sanasie hosts “CoinDesk Daily.”

Marketplace All-in-One - First came the shutdown, next the layoffs

Federal worker layoffs are near, according to Trump administration officials. Earlier this week, the president said he would use the government shutdown to target "Democrat things." And a shutdown with layoffs may have more serious economic consequences than your average shutdown. For more on that we turn to Diane Swonk, chief economist at KPMG. Also on today's show: China launches a new visa to attract more international STEM talent.

Newshour - Fatal attack on Manchester synagogue

Two people have been killed by a car that drove into a crowd outside a British synagogue on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur. Another man was stabbed at the site. We hear the latest news on the incident.

Also in the programme: a wide-ranging interview with the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, Maria Corina Machado, who is in hiding after being barred from last year's election; and a BBC analysis of Ukrainian drone attacks against Russian oil refineries.

We also hear about a new exhibition in Cambridge that sheds light on craftspeople in ancient Egypt.

Audio Mises Wire - James Comey Is Not an Innocent Victim of the Lawfare He Helped to Create

Although the political establishment claims the Comey indictment represents an unprecedented moment in our history, the truth is much different. Federal prosecutors have a long history of bringing unjustified, politically-motivated prosecutions.

Episode 514 – “What Are We Even Doing Here?” (w/ David Dayen)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

Executive editor of The American Prospect David Dayen returns to Bad Faith to explain the government shutdown and how Democrats are doing their darnedest to be the worst resistance party in the world. How is it that Trump seems to have infinite power when Biden, during his trifecta, had none? Did Trump really just do what we were told is impossible: overrule the parliamentarian? Why are Democrats making this a fight about healthcare rather than the fact that the GOP has already effectively shut down the government through their DOGE activities? And why should we be very very scared of OMB director Russell Vought?

Marketplace All-in-One - As the labor market cools, job scams heat up

Unemployment remains relatively low, but the labor market is slowing down. Private payroll company ADP estimates the private sector lost 32,000 jobs last month. Hiring has slowed, and it's taking longer for jobseekers to find work. And where there are people with anxiety and fear, there are scammers to prey on them. The Federal Trade Commission says reports of job scams tripled over the past four years. But first, why the Trump administration is sending memos to universities and what Democrats are demanding to reopen the government.
