sec. simon: we are in the democracy business. it's been a few years in the democracy business. third term in office. when i first started running for this in '14, i used to have to do more explaining about what it was. in the intervening years, we have to do less explaining to the typical voter. no secret the profile of this post has been much elevated for the american people in individual states for a lot of reasons, some good and some bad. the ability to communicate with the public and partners in states, cities and towns is more important than ever. we tried in '24 to perfect and improve communications in minnesota. we experience highs and lows. there were crises large and small. i said that the outcome of the 2024 process, i had two goals. high turnout and low drama. that's what i wanted. i want to talk about the drama part, three things we did and intersperse horror stories from this cycle. news media, cultivating reporters relationships well in advance. not even a month before, but o

initially the sec characterized all digital assets as crypto asset securities.his in their filings.s and court after that approach was rejected by courts the sec under the prior administration attempted to adopt a new theory that in digital asset may not itself be a security but it embodies in some way some sort of scheme. the problem with that is how do you know? just become because one said so there's somethingse about digitl asset that says a third party could make any determination does it or does it not embody something? what if it is a bottle of water embodies my plan to do something you cannot examine the bottle of water and reach thatt conclusio. civil courts have rejected that theorysl obvious that we are now in the period were some of the litigation has ceased we can all be thankful for that i do believe if it continues that theory would be rejected by federalra court. >> think it mr. cohen. >> the bill is under considerationid do have a variey of penalties for violating the provisions. some w will beat civil penalties others will have additional crimi

let's go back to 2009 for a sec. okay. he couldn't quit his marriage, so what does he do?by disappearing for five days so that it becomes an international scandal. from the outside, the mark sanford scandal was an absurd comedy, but for insiders such as scott or me, if i'm being honest, it was a really hard lesson. mark sanford seemed like the rare politician who is exactly what you saw on the podium. and that's because who he seemed to be was based on some real truths, but the persona was just one facet of who he was-- packaged up and made clean and comprehensible for the american public. the big surprise was that even after mark sanford's brand had dissolved so spectacularly, the south carolina public embraced him even more, authenticity trumping perfection, ironically a lesson harnessed by his main detractor, the 45th president who took an aggressive brand of filter-free politics all the way to the white house. i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody, and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay? -it's, like, incredible. -[laughter] i still occasionally t

president, sec tear and sorry i don't know your title. okay. first i want to say thank you to mr. me this opportunity to announce our project in the u.s.. tsmc is the largest manufacturing company funded by dr. which i think in 1987. it's now at the forefront of semiconductor technology supporting ai in industry. in fact i'd like to walk back the time for president trump's vision and support. so tsmc start the journey of establishing the chip manufacturing in arizona. now i'm proud to say the vision is a reality. in arizona, we have 3,000 employees and we're producing the most chips made on u.s. soil. with the success of our first batch so we are now very happy to announce we are going to embrace additional $100 billion u.s. to the $165 billion in arizona. we're going to build three more new factories and promised three factories already and another two or three are packaging and most important is the center. also in arizona. all the investment, $165 billion is going to create thousands of high paying jobs as the president announced. and we are most important actually going to pro

sec. rubio: there is real concern that american speech could fall into the hands of other countries' jurisdiction. it is a compelling point. what unites us with europe is shared values including free speech. is americans are threatened by it we will need to take action on it. pres. trump: it is a very important question. v.p. vance: we spoke about this in detail at lunch yesterday. i know that secretary of commerce let nick followed up. this is really important. we believe americans have the right to speak their mind even if we disagree with them. they have the right to speak their mind in the public square which is often online. we will defend that right in terms of american companies and citizens, vigorously if we have to. under the president's leadership you will find common ground with our friends and the u.k. but it remains to be seen. the principle that will guide us is we believe in free speech in this country. >> is there another oil and gas component? pres. trump: a little bit. we

he had exercised more power than massive federal agencies like the sec.e have more power, or did he just use it? well, you know, he exercised it, and the market responded. i represented morgan stanley, one of the targets of one of his investigations, and i talked to, you know, to the chairman and ceo. he wasn't worried about washington. he was worried about eliot spitzer. no one thought anybody could put their hands on those companies, and he was able to do that. so he was really the robin hood of that whole effort. by taking on the wild west of wall street, spitzer had earned himself a new nickname. spitzer has deputized himself as the "sheriff of wall street." so even though you were on the other side in at least a case or two of his aggressive regulation of various financial industries, you thought that he was doing exactly what that 23-year-old, first-year harvard law student was meant to do. he is using power effectively to help the people. he was the most powerful, most successful, and i think most effective state attorney general in the history of

and i have to say lastly, this comes at a moment when we saw an offer made to sec workers today, take we've seen them put cases away that they had been working on declined to prosecute these meme coins. so the broader environment when it comes to cryptocurrency has changed demonstrably over the last few weeks to be more advantageous for cryptocurrencies, for digital assets. it's now incredibly favorable for them and i think quite risky for american consumers. >> they dropped a fraud case against justin sun, who soon after. >> gave many millions of dollars to donald. >> trump, invested $75 million in the trump crypto exchange, and that was after he donated to the campaign. listen, if they want to do that, you just just thinking about our taxpayer dollars. greg, thank you for joining us. please come back soon, david. i will definitely see you when we return a warning from fired federal workers. the president's move to slash their jobs, they're saying will hurt all of us. we're going to hear all of us. we're going to hear why, when the ♪ who knows what tomorrow will bring ♪ (dog whines)

as we approach march madness in women's hoops, a coin toss has decided the top seed for this week's secsterday ended the regular season with teams tied for the conference title, with identical records and sole losses for each team coming against one another. a coin flip favoring south carolina ultimately made the difference. meanwhile, on the men's court, michigan state now sits alone atop the big ten, holding off wisconsin yesterday afternoon before rival michigan fell against illinois. the spartans will play iowa this thursday before wrapping up the regular season and a potential conference title at home against the second place wolverines on sunday. and time now for the weather. for that, we go to meteorologist michelle grossman with the forecast. michelle. happy monday. what do you got for us? >> happy monday. hi there ali. >> great to see you. well we are looking really busy this week weather wise. we're looking at a large. storm in the west. >> it's going to advance. >> to the east over the next several days, bringing all sorts. >> of impacts. >> heavy rain, severe weather, blizza

so there's a big discrepancy between both and in nvidia's most recent annual report with the sec, they said, quote, customers use singapore to centralize invoicing. while our products are almost always shipped elsewhere. so they're trying to tell you that singapore is not used as a back door for china. however, analysts at mizuho warned today a potential ban on nvidia chips, specifically the a20s to china, could remove roughly 4 to $5 billion in revenue for fiscal 2026. so there is that overhang for the stock, because in a world where computational power equals geopolitical advantage and i'm calling it the silicon smugglers game continues with implications far beyond corporate earnings. and to your point about tsmc, i just one last word about their investment. the tariffs will certainly add to tsmc's construction costs, especially after tsmc had already previously. this is going back over a year. acknowledged that us manufacturing in arizona will cost more to operate than taiwan. we know that. and back in december, macquarie bank estimated at least 30% more. and that's not including th

where were they when gary gensler, the former chairman of the sec, also unelected was flawlessly supporting the development of financial markets, particularly in the crypto space by a flawlessly pursuing regulation via enforcement. they were noted -- nowhere to be seen because they don't care because all of those things benefited their side of the aisle at the expense of ours. perhaps that is also why they don't seem to be very interested in rooting out improper payments from our federal government. if you wonder why so many people are cynical about american politics, this is exactly why. the reality is, elon musk serves as an employee of the president. we were given a massive mandate to carry out what he has been doing. his job is to carry out the will of the american people is expressed through the executive. that is exactly how the constitution is supposed to work. the constitution did not create an unelected unaccountable fourth branch of government in the administrative state. the american people know this. my colleague brian jack discussed opinion polls recently. we are doing, preside
