That is a discussion we are going to be having on an ongoing basis. We talked about some of the things at the last meeting, and we will talk about them of the next meeting a couple of weeks. Sen. Toomey i think that is important. Let me close with a question on a central make digital currency. During your testimony yesterday, i sensed what i wasnt sure, but thought might be a change in your tone about the virtues of a central bank digital currency being issued by the fed. One of the things you said yesterday if that one of the stronger arguments in favor of a cbdc is that you wouldnt need stable coins if you had a stable u. S. Currency. Isnt the reverse also true . If you have stable coins, cryptocurrencies and use, then maybe theres no need for a central bank digital currency.

Hello im Katty Kay in washington, Christian Fraser is in london. The us senate is taking up a voting Rights Bill this evening that democrats hope will strengthen protections at the ballot box. Its one of those procedural votes so unique to washington, its not a vote on the bill, but a vote on whether to even discuss the bill. And the result could speak volumes in terms of where we are in american politics. The democrats are not expected to get enough votes, with one of their own senat
Under pressure too. She says it may take time for vaccinated people to feel comfortable removing their mask. It seems like the president is one of them. Here he is coming out of church outside, puts the mask on as he goes from church to the car. Then theres california, New York, maine, massachusetts. Theyre playing catchup. The last couple hours, headlines crossing every hour it seemed about things theyre dropping and letting people do in those states. New jersey though still likes the indoor Mask Mandate for now. Dr. Makary has been ahead of the curve all along. He gets credit for that. Hes a professor of Health And Policy and management at Johns Hopkins School of public health and a Fox News Contributor. Hes joined by Joe Concha for The Hill and a Fox News Contributor. You represent the two sides of this equation.

Lindor, that he is not even hitting. 200, my heart is in that. And im okay with all that. The last question. For real this time. There is a Senate Race Coming Up in your state, rob portman, your Colleague Thaw served with for a long time, he is retiring.

You never compromise of Marriage Equality or Choice Or Opposition to the nra. You talk about minimal Wage And Work and the Overtime Rule and cutting child poverty. There are five republicans in the race, i think, if that count is right. And they all remind me of kids on a playground sticking their tongue out at each other saying trump loves me more than he loves you. Its something to watch in ohio.

Florida Republican Govenor Marc Desantis signing the latest new law to Drawback Voting rights in the republican troop controls. State Govenor Marc Desantis is not making the intent of this one very subtle. Not making it very subtle as to who this is intended to benefit, who it is for. He signed this new voting Rights Restriction Bill live on tv. At an event hosted by literally a donald Trump Fan Club. While he was in the middle of an interview on fox and friends. So, if you are a democratic voter or an independent voter in florida, you can be rest assured, you can be sure your governor is looking out for you and your interests. Definitely taking care of the whole State And Everybodys interests, thats for sure. Did i mention he signed a Voting Bill at a donald Trump Fan Club . Subtle. Okay.
