michael was her rebellion. >> so in a town of crew cuts and cowboys, michael woods was a rocker. to susan, he looked like bob seger. to everyone else, he looked like trouble. >> but that didn't deter susan. they had fallen in love. >> for a while there, every fiber of this woman's being was dedicated to this man. i mean, she was all in. >> then susan tells michael it's time for them to get married. >> and michael just, with just this amount of thought, is like, "i'm free tomorrow between 11:00 and 1:00." >> at first it was susan and michael against everyone, even her family, even after they wed. stephenville was not the place for his rockstar dreams. at home, eventually the power ballads faded out. michael couldn't find steady work, and they got to quarreling. >> he was a great guy. until he wasn't, when they broke up. >> it was bad. and it, of course, just got worse. >> are they arguing with each other at this point? >> by that final year, yeah, they were fighting. he began to believe that he could've had a better life without her. and then, out of nowhere, he leaves. and he doe

michael cohen's credibility -- the ag will say what michael cohen tells you is backed up by paper. it is to an extent. doesn't have donald trump's name on it. a witness' bias is 100% fair game. if you have a witness that hates the defendant -- michael cohen will tell you he hates donald trump. the jury or the judge is allowed to consider that. there's some other things here. ever since he made the break from donald trump he's come through. he is backed up by the paper, to an extent. the numbers are different. the person drawing the link between the paper and donald trump is largely michael cohen. >> caroline, what do you think about this? how much of a factor could this part of the argument be for the judge who will be the one who decides the damages? >> that's a good point. i agree, michael cohen, i think, is more of a pivotal witness in the next trial, not so much this one, because -- we always talk about the distinction of a criminal trial versus civil. it's less about the intent, the motivation, where live witnesses give you a view inside the mind of a potential defendant. ther

i'm joined by my guess michael. i'm a loop in rest and he is a former pentagon senior security policy analyst in new york. we have line off. he is a legal and media analyst and assemble. we cross to professors, i mean l a. ryan t is director of the center for is long and global affairs at symbols. i am university. alright gentlemen, cross hawk roles and the fact that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate line. and let me read something for to you that i read in the american conservative by a good writer, a james card in reacting to the fact that uh, anthony, blinking made it to the cover of time magazine. i didn't even know time magazine was around anymore. so that was the kind of surprising and because i don't see why anyone would read it, but this is what he had to say in his article that was in the american conservative . how many americans know that the by the administration is and, and it says $10000.00 tons of weapons to israel since the fighting began in october . thanks, anthony, blink

the go back to michael. michael, it's really interesting for me. i can remember when i was in university and they were the pro palestinian groups on campus and they were usually staffed by american jews. and it was, you know, and then you know, a many years ago on this program, i had don norman finkelstein on and many more us, the historian, the story and in israel and it, at the time it was kind of nice. it was um, you know, kind of on the side lines, it is very important obviously, and it's important as only become more important through time. but there is a change of consciousness right now. i mean, he says go on youtube, and what you see is just, i'm astounded about people that have learned a lot very, very fast. and they are disgusted in what they were learning. go ahead, michael, as well, that's reflected in the demonstrations. we're seeing virtually a right in the western world, i should say. and, and we're seeing this also in, in the global, in the global south. people are becoming though quite concerned about all of this. and, and even tho

james is with us, michael is back.gure out your camera, we did show -- i want you to know, a cool looking picture of you graduating the same year that james was doing his thing. but your thoughts on all the above, michael. >> look, this is -- first off, i love the youthful version of ourselves. so, hey, james, you and me, bro, looking good, baby. weren't we? there it is. oh, yes, youth. sometimes it is just -- it is what it is. but, no, look, this is an interesting space. you guys have already opened up a part of the conversation that i think really is important to contextualize and understand when you're looking at a republican base in the context of donald trump, and everybody else. let's make clear on a couple of things. one, this space wants donald trump, right? two, they're not going anywhere else. so can we just disabuse ourselves of that idea at this point? if iowa and new hampshire hasn't taught you anything by now, you don't understand politics. and you don't understand the republican party as it is currently

oh michael here where the michael met. you know, we, we, it's all nice and convenient for some to talk about what happened after october. so what happened on october 7th and after, but there's, this is a 75 year history that's in play here. and if i go to line or this is the final act of this history of 75 years of clearing the, the palestinian people from uh, from palestine libel. the only thing that is allowing this to happen is the continued unexpected nations and ignorance and closeness on the part of the average american. they have absolutely no idea. number one, number 2, we have this thing in this country where we are allies, we are we, we are always been an ally of israel, but there, i thought most people thought there was a conditional. a say we will be an allied, but 1st we must review the particular operation. the we are a lie with you on. it's not an unconditional. you can do whatever you want. it seems like they're just this one size fits all, whatever happens. but let me ask you to add one thing to show you h

let's start with you, michael. i wish like a pinhole with respect to this, you know, history is full of occasions when there was a turning point and somehow history didn't turn. i thought that the history that reached attorney point in 1993 with the oslo accords as on history had reached the turning point for the 2nd and the found to in 20022003 with a thought that maybe there was a roadmap to the piece and then a 2 state solution. and i'm as, as awful as the situation is now with over 25000 palestinians killed. and again i was a flat and i am not convinced that history will wind up turning. and this point either . so we have to think our base our hopes on, on what's realistic on the ground rather than rather than a pure hope on this. thank you, michael enter. you rouse your hopes? yeah, i think that the situation and guys catastrophic and we need to keep this funded center. i. i don't think that it's, you know, i don't think that we can really speak maybe in the language of hope as michael said. but i think that w

michael: each of them will go a different way.se of disney they will become -- they are already highly reliant on established brands and programming. if you look at their upcoming first of all wish and marvels did not do well at the box office. there are a lot of people who think we are getting to the end of the marvel franchises. i don't believe so. what they are going to copy is they are already going to add supported tears and they will continue to produce programming. i don't care what they say, they do not have a choice. katie: i've never seen a marvel movie. never grab me. let's switch gears pretty dramatically because i want to talk about the metaverse. i was looking for your notes, you wrote there are 300 million active users in major virtual world platforms. that number shocked me. can you define what it is, where are those 300 people? michael: these immersive worlds like roadblocks or minecraft or fortnite. some of these people are spending enormous amounts. the difference being games versus metaverse is they can build t

and i want to put this to michael if i can. the conflict seems to have exposed massive international contradictions in the world or to with western powers, especially the u. k. the united states and germany continuing to shield israel from international criticism. what does this moment mean for the post 2nd world world world war or the other one is that of course has been dominated by european on western powers for so long a good rate with respect to this. and in many ways this, this more this assault on, on gas, as, as exposed to fracture points between the global north and the, and the global cells. we've seen overwhelming opinion in the global cells in favor of a ceasefire as, as early as late october. and this was expressed in the un general assembly resolution, which voted overwhelmingly, i think the vote was a $153.00 to $10.00 in favor of a, an immediate cease fire. and over welling supported by countries from the global sales, with the global north, either of staining or voting that or voting against. and we see these p

let's start with you, michael. i wish like a pinhole with respect to this, you know, it, history is full of occasions when there was a turning point and somehow history didn't turn. i thought that the history that reach the turning point in 1993 with the also of course, a 2 state solution. and i'm as, as awful as the situation is now with over 25000 palestinians killed. and again i was a flattened up here. hope on this. thank you, michael enter. you rouse your hopes or? yeah, i think that the situation and guys catastrophic and we need to keep this funded center. i, i don't think that it's, you know, i don't think that we can really speak maybe in the language of hope as michael said. but i think that we are hearing more of the palestinian perspectives. we with the streets around the world. there is, you know, in the us has experienced the largest and longest protest movements and its history since the vietnam war and across the world there are protest. this is really what lead south africa to file. it's a case in

michael: it is too early to say.ince gbtc has been trading since 2015 we have had investors come in and out of our fund every day, hundreds of thousands of investors. i think the same will be true of gbtc now as an etf. kailey: obviously this concludes what had been a long litigation mess that grayscale had to be involved in with s.e.c. alameda has involved grayscale in a $4 billion suit, seeking $4 billion in value for grayscale shareholders. now that these spot etf products are approved, how does that change that legal issue for you? michael: it is tough to comment on ongoing litigation. but what i will say is that we have fulfilled the promise that we made to investors, which was getting gbtc up listed as a spot bitcoin etf, and that all came true this very morning. sonali: michael, what is next? what do the next couple of days look like to you? are you running around looking for new assets, are you planning on cutting fees once more? michael: the last few days have almost been a blur. having a lot of conversation

tomorrow 11:30, michael mckee, loretta mester. michael mckee joins us now. is still uncertainty. perhaps the bitcoin exchange at about 1500 yesterday. essentially you want to see how much confidence one of the bigger hots has that we are out of the woods on inflation because we saw mickey bowman yesterday say essentially she thinks that we are at the peak and she has been urging the fed to continue raising rates. if that is the case, then we will see if loretta agrees. that might give a little more certainty to it. one of the questions that has arisen is what they should do about the biology. it is not the open market committee's decision. it is the board because the board is in charge of that but they will weigh in on that. we will see what it looks like from there. somebody sit me a question the other day which i think is very important and that is what do you think is driving inflation now. do we think it is going to keep coming down? how confident are you that it will come down? tom: right. michael: what is the inflation dynamic these days? tom: the last

day michael steele, you're sticking with me.s decision and sharp focus. the iowa caucus is right around the corner. and we go to texas, we are the state republican leadership prepares for battle with the doj over its extreme new law targeting immigrants. eting immigrants i know what it's like to perform through pain. if you're like me, one of the millions suffering from pain caused by migraine, nurtec odt may help. it's the only medication that can treat a migraine when it strikes and prevent migraine attacks. treat and prevent, all in one. don't take if allergic to nurtec. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. relief is possible. talk to a doctor about nurtec odt. i'm a guy who lost a bet. and my dignity. as if watching my team lose wasn't punishment enough. hahaha. and if you have cut rate car insurance, odds are you'll be paying for that yourself. so, get allstate. hi, i'm jason. i've lost 228 pounds on golo. ♪ odds are you'll be paying for th

the first is librarian michael freeze.pro niled michael in june when he was starting to get a following online because of his posts about his love of libraries and mental health awareness. michael's naturalness and charm jumped off the screen. we can tell bigger things were coming and we were right. when we talked with michael back then he had 15,000 followers on tiktok and instagram and that number shot up to one million. the overwhelmingly positive response michael has gotten still stuns him to this day. >> i have anxiety and depression. thank you for talking about it. thank you for making it real and not making it a bad thing. thank you for saying that anxiety is not the villain or people said i had a hard day. i didn't know if i was going to make it to tomorrow. and i saw your videos and i will stay one more day. thank you for doing what you are doing. that is what i take joy from i'm trying to remind people that they do belong in this world. i am a local lightningian, i have love for them and i'm happy they are here i

rudkin" and i'm sat there and i'm thinking, "no, i'm michael rudkin, "you're not michael rudkin". it was such an accurate depiction of what went off over them years. michael says that the impact since the series has gone out has been immense. feeling castigated throughout your community and your friends, slowly they ebb away from you, keeping a distance. all of a sudden, 20 years later, i'm getting messages from people who literally i haven't spoken to for 20 years, saying, "we saw the programme, we didn't realise, so sorry." the couple have slowly rebuilt their lives and now run a b&b, but the legacy of what's happened still lingers. if you could even remotely think of what hell would look like, then multiply that by ten, that's how our lives have been these last 15 years. absolute hell. in a statement, a post office spokesperson said they're fully aware of the human cost of the scandal and are doing all they can to right the wrongs of the past. to date, offers of compensation totalling more than £138 million have been made. michael says he wants to be recompensed for their loss

thank you, michael enter. you rouse your hopes or yeah, i think that the situation and guys catastrophic. and we need to keep this funded center. i suspect it was we with the streets around the world. there is, you know, in the us has experienced the largest and longest protest movements in its history . since the vietnam warren across the world, there are protest. this is really what lead south africa to files case and the i c j. so this is actually a moment, i think that there we're seeing more of the truths of what's going on in israel and palestine, not only since the month of october, but the broader context of is really settling colonialism and mass violence. any village, occupation, and speech, and so on. and the truth is, i think very, very important if we think about moving forward. if we think about justice, if we think about it shouldn't be really front and center for us. but i think that there is, i think there is potential in this water should a moment for juice, for justice. we see it from below

michael, there is a similar concern about steelmaking in germany. ceo of our slow mattel said in a statement just a few weeks ago that the funding for the green transition of its steel plants, 2.5 billion-euro investment, is hanging in the balance, and that is because the pressure on public finances. a lot of people look at you, the green party, and blame you for that, because you have pushed the transition but the money isn't there to deliver on what you have promised. >> well, we push at the transition, but the transition itself is pushed by industry, because it is clear that there needs to be a different situation. europe will produce better steel than is produced in india, but for this we need to modernize our industry. what we are doing, we are replacing the blast furnaces with green direct reduction plants what it seems to me that the case you were discussing which is happening right now in the u.k. is not quite similar to what we are doing in germany, because it seems to me that you are decreasing industrial output, but the whole idea of the

okay, michael, your thoughts? what do you think is likely to be the outcome of this case where a provisional measures be issued and what will be, you know, the fact that impacts for, for palestinians and gaza? i think it is likely that the car will, will issue the provisional measures. but it's really important to understand that the court isn't restricted by what south africa has passed for. exactly. they don't have to say just yes or no to the different across south africa has made was, are limited to this point about cc military operations. i think the car will want to address the military operations in some way, but we'll need to come up with some other formulation. maybe something along the lines of israel needs to ensure that and continuing military operations are in compliance with it's other obligations under international law, including the genocide convention. and i think there will be other provisional measures directed at this specific question of ensure. and that is real dozens of p, for indeed facili

michael stephen -- and michael, let's start with you.nd i talked about the different vibes of donald trump. he seems to be in a temporary behaved mode, it's safe to say, where he's talking about people as gracious, he's thanking their spouses, it's awkward. but he's basically trying to lure people together. how much does that matter at this point in terms of the inevitability, and bringing the primary to an end? >> the inevitability is inevitable. it's a foregone conclusion, and he will be the nominee of the party. i think congressman daines and others got that right. the question then becomes, from 16 and 20, how much has trump learned in the art of baking the cake inside the party. in other words, it's one thing to get the ingredients together, it's different once you start to mix them and create something that will give you what you need to be successful in the fall. he knows regardless of all the bravado, he's gonna have his hands full with president biden going into the fall. he's gonna need a strong coalition within the party, you'

michael luttig: totally fair. jake tapper: michael luttig is a highly respected conservative retired federal court judge. luttig did not hear any of the trump fraud cases, but he and his colleagues did analyze more than 60 of them. michael luttig: we reviewed each individual claim and decided that there was nothing that would have changed the result in a single precinct, let alone a single state, let alone nationally. jake tappeper: ahead.. rusty bowers: you'rere asking me to dodo somethingng that's against my oath, and i'm not-- i'm not going to do that. jake tapper: donald trump puts the squeeze on state house leaders s across thehe countr. donald trump: it's going to have a big impact on tuesday if you guys don't get this thing straightened out fast. laying] rusty bowers: we're in my office. this is the speaker's office. jake tapper: it's not every day a state house politician gets a call from a us president but that's what happened to arizona speaker republican rusty bowers after the 2020 election. rusty bower

i'm michael smerconish in philadelphia. people are reading into the results so far whatever they're wishing for. first there are the never trumpers, the never trumpers. they say, he's essentially running as an incumbent and still 49% of the voters in iowa didn't want him and speaking of iowa, the turnout was abysmal. a little over 110,000 participated accounting for just under 15% of the state's 752,000 registered republicans. do you know that trump only received a little over 56,000 votes? and iowa, iowa is lily white. it's unrepresentative of the country at large. we're a diverse nation of over 335 million, a small number of iowa voters should not determine our destiny. and besides, the iowa field was still too crowded. when nikki haley finally got him one-on-one in new hampshire, she was able to keep it close and received about 43% of the vote. and worse for trump the independents in new hampshire supported haley in huge numbers showing that trump could never win a general election, so why should haley drop out? candidat

and that is the rationale for a second revising, scrutinising chamber. >> michael , chamber. >> michaelyou feel chamber. >> michael , do you feel that the >> michael, do you feel that the lords is going beyond what it ought to be doing , or that ought to be doing, or that actually having a more powerful lords is beneficial constitutionally ? constitutionally? >> well, i do think actually, in the last, uh, few decades , i the last, uh, few decades, i think increasingly the lords has tidied up and spotted the flaws and corrected and, and governments have often as a result of corrected , uh, flawed result of corrected, uh, flawed legislation , um, at a time when legislation, um, at a time when increasingly the passage of legislation through the commons has been timetabled and therefore it's not had proper scrutiny from mps. so they've done a really useful job in that respect. but i recognise it's shaky ground. you still have, despite what you said earlier, you still have. what is it, 90 or so hereditaries in the lords and by elections . and these absurd by elections. every now and then the

michael: absolutely. to ask me that question, i will take this moment to once again thank investors force us along the journey, porting oxley you guys. this is such a milestone, such an inflection point. you have that occur last week and now come to davos the following week and elevate the conversation around crypto, that is what we are here to do. alix: you have also been looking into new cover call funds. what is the rationale? to keep existing money? or draw in new money? michael: one of the big benefits that we are eager to get to is the fact that we are looking forward to having options traded on gb tc. on the market where the fund has been since 2015, there are no options. for a lot of investors, they are eager to have options to manage positions and be able to offer a call strategy. that may allow for long-term exposure but also additional income. that is a product we have filed. it underscores our commitment to the tc and to crypto more broadly. we want to create a more robust environment. guy: yo

well, back to my panel, michael crick and alex dean . um, michael, this and alex dean.l, isn't it, that student loans aren't covering the costs of university . the university is taking on more and more foreign students to subsidise the domestic students. and the increase students. and now the increase in the interest rate the government is paying means that they're losing a lot of money, even on loans that are repaid. >> yeah, it is, it's incredibly complicated, both financially and as as a wider issue . and i and as a as a wider issue. and i speak as someone who's, um , been speak as someone who's, um, been a member of a of a university governing body now for the last two different universities, for the last 11 years. and and it's a complete mess and you're right, we are we have become as universities much more dependent on foreign students . foreign on foreign students. foreign students can bring huge benefits and they bring huge fees. i mean, i did hear of one course at oxford charging 49,000 or something. uh, the other day . something. uh, the other day. um, and we'

never count out michael cleveland. michael cleveland was born blind and mostly deaf.despite those extraordinary ads, he became a master fiddler. and now he is back with another grammy nomination. my friend and colleague sam brock celebrated his incredible journey to start him last year. watch this. >> to hear michael cleveland play the fiddle -- ♪ ♪ ♪ >> -- is to experience bluegrass packed with passion and fury, the melodies of a lifelong love affair. it feels like bluegrass is in your bones. >> it's all i've ever really wanted to do. and something that i was born into. my grandparents were big fans of bluegrass music. >> michael was born blind, and does not have hearing in 80% of his left ear, and a quarter of his right. despite his challenges, michael's grandparents took him to shows all over his hometown of henryville, indiana, starting at six months old. and by three or four, he was hooked, -- they're a track player. >> i would take one of the speakers and lay it flat on the ground, and lay my right here on that speaker, then go to speak listening to bluegrass. >

michael stephen -- and michael, let's start with you.ked about the different vibes of donald trump. he seems to be in a temporary behaved mode, it's safe to say, where he's talking about people as gracious, he's thanking their spouses, it's awkward. but he's basically trying to lure people together. how much does that matter at this point in terms of the inevitability, and bringing the primary to an end? >> the inevitability is inevitable. it's a foregone conclusion, and he will be the nominee of the party. i think congressman daines and others got that right. the question then becomes, from 16 and 20, how much has trump learned in the art of baking the cake inside the party. in other words, it's one thing to get the ingredients together, it's different once you start to mix them and create something that will give you what you need to be successful in the fall. he knows regardless of all the bravado, he's gonna have his hands full with president biden going into the fall. he's gonna need a strong coalition within the party, you'll need

uh, michael, what? you tell me. uh, michael, do you want to come back in?e just on the on the geopolitical point. yes. there are lots of geopolitical interests here. i think you somewhat simplified it because iran weren't backing isis. iran are fighting isis. the are actually fighting isis. the saudis isis. so saudis were backing isis. so you've lots of different you've got lots of different interests and fighting interests and groups fighting each it's not as each other. and so it's not as simple there's good guys simple as there's the good guys and the bad guys. i think it's probably useful for your audience to sort understand audience to sort of understand why failing, why these attacks are failing, because people think, you know, the a militant the houthis, they're a militant group poorest the houthis, they're a militant group in poorest the houthis, they're a militant group in the poorest the houthis, they're a militant group in the world. )rest the houthis, they're a militant group in the world. it�*st the houthis, they're a militant group in the worl
