What the hosts said

EIt's Rush Hour Mix on Oncast — a reported five point seven billion dollar crypto hack.
SReported being the key word. The Kobeissi Letter posted it on X, not Binance.
EThe post says Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tron saw outflows that big. If true, biggest in crypto history.
SElon's response was four words: 'Everyday is Zeroday.'
EHe's been through enough X hacks... to write the slogan.
SWalter Bloomberg on X says Binance US is not affected.
EThat's the US arm. The main exchange hasn't confirmed anything.
SExactly. Five point seven billion is a huge number to toss out.
EReminder that a big exchange can be a single point of failure.
SMaybe, but first we have to know if the hack even happened.
EFair. But the market's already reacting like it did.
SWait for Binance. Until then it's a breaking claim.
SDifferent world entirely: Reuters reports the FCC voted to ban all Chinese labs from testing American electronics.
EAbout time. You don't hand your device blueprints to a potential adversary.
SAll Chinese labs? That's a hammer when maybe a scalpel works.
EIn China, the argument goes, private labs aren't really private. The state could tap into them.
SSo no Chinese lab can test a laptop? That's a huge trade restriction.
EIt's not about trade. It's about not letting foreign labs write the security report on our electronics.
SI'd like to see the actual threat assessment, not just the vote.
EThe FCC isn't going to declassify intel to win an argument. Sometimes you act on the threat.
SThat's how agencies get away with overreach.
EOr how they stop a backdoor before it ships.
