michael. king george, virginia. randy, what are your thoughts this sunday morning? caller: good morning.usiness has always been in politics. so, what is changing? they are already involved in politics. the system is so corrupt, there is no repairing it. the scenery has run amok. dealing with voting, where is our department of justice? what actually is the department of justice's job? when you're sitting there, watching voting rights trying to be rolled back, as a young man in this country who has served this country, it never ceases to amaze me how americans talk about how great their country is, how great they are and they continue to still do the same things over and over. nothing is going to change. people, if you want change, you have got to step out against the injustice that is always being done. stop saying you are great. you are not great. when you know what is right and what is wrong, why is it so hard for you to always do what is right? host: thanks for calling. 10 minutes left, maybe a little less than that before we get into our guest segments. a washington post lead story, a

george: what is fascinate -- michael: what is fascinating about coinbase is this is the first way inuals can be a part of this new market for cryptocurrencies without being subject themselves to the volatility those currencies have. i think we are going to see that coinbase is going to be held widely, that this market cap will be held by index funds. it will allow investors and individuals to take part in this entire move towards her to currencies. tom: is it like an ebay equivalent of years ago, where there has been a structure, there has been a launch, there has been a huge repricing on advancement in price, and now basically it is dead money forward? michael: i don't think so. once again, this is an exchange. it is likely to be one of the few exchanges that dominates this business. it is actually the second largest exchange worldwide. the largest is another company. we see so much more activity. we have only seen so far bitcoin as really an investment vehicle of speculation. it is only beginning as a vehicle of payment. jonathan: good to catch up, as always. michael j wolf of acti

do you see any similarities between george floyd's case and michael donnell's cases?ilarity you go all the way back to the '63 bombing case and the other crimes of that era. what i see in thisisiss that peop that feel empowered, that they feel like they can do anything. in this case it was a police officer. you know we love to give our police officers the benefit of the doubt. we should in so many instances, but sometimes there are officers that seem to abuse that like derek chauvin and can do whatever he feels appropriate. and in connecting those dots, in the early '60s, it was people that were giving these dog whistle politics to the klan in one case, maybe police officers in this case that it's okay, you do your job and nothing will come of you. that i think is the biggest connection. and what we're seeing in the chauvin case now is a break down of that blue wall where so many police officers are pushing back and saying no, no, not this time, not on our watch. we believe this is wrong and should be held accountable. that is an incredibly significant development in

michael brown. cleaver: we have come a long way. for george floyd, and the policing act. i think that is monumental. this would be just below the civil rights act of the great society. it was something significant. but let's not, as a ticket to the point where we have the impression that everything has been resolved. and things will be great. because we still have to get this approved in the senate andn the good news is that a friend of mine who is handling the and in south carolina.

michael brown. eric garner. walter scott. philando castille, george floyd. the list goes on and on.uld have died the way they did because of those names and so many others, for black people in this country, there's a feeling of fear and inevitability when it comes to the police. the reality that is, if your skin is black or brown, you will likely be targeted and have a frightening encounter with police at some point in your life. and despite what some parents think, it doesn't often matter whether you are wearing a hoodie or a three-piece suit. run-ins with the police will happen eventually. moms and dads of black children carry around the typical parental worry that we all have, plus they bear an even worse fear, a fear for their children for their encounters with police. after a quick break, i'm going to talk to someone who understands both sides of that intimately. hold my pouch. ♪ trust us, us kids are ready to take things into our own hands. don't think so? hold my pouch. don't think so? ♪ the calming scent of lavender by downy infusions calm. laundry isn't done until it's done
