The President Leans into Crypto

from Money, Power, Politics with Stephanie Ruhle · host Stephanie Ruhle

August 20th, 9am: Trump threatens to unleash quote "economic D-Day" on Iran. But as the standoff with Tehran continues, we're asking the question, who'll blink first? Then, the president leans into crypto, calling on Congress to pass business-friendly rules for an industry that's brought him a billion-dollar windfall. Plus, the White House taps an administration insider to run the FDA — why the choice is raising alarms. Inzamam Rashid, Dave Weigel, Kevin Frey, Jeff Mason, Dr. Richard Besser, Dan Nathan, Rohit Chopra, and Montana's Independent US Senate Candidate, Seth Bodnar join Money Power Politics this morning.
