This week, we discuss President-elect Trump’s push to get “one, big, beautiful bill” to get his campaign promises through congress.

Then, we talk about the proposals for a strategic Bitcoin reserve and the shifts in how legislators are thinking about crypto.

Finally, we head to Politicology+ where we discuss how we can and should talk about the January 6th attack after Trump’s re-election and as American attitudes about the attack have softened.
