Hey everyone, it's Matt. You all know I love discussing politics. Every week, I catch up with my friend Ross to talk about the week's news. Ross is a busy dad and lawyer, and I'm gearing up for Congress, so we rarely get time to sit down and discuss current events and our thoughts on them. This show gives us that opportunity. I know this isn't about Crypto, but it's something I enjoy, and this is my Substack, so I'll post whatever I want. Enjoy, and feel free to reach out at matt@dailycryptonews.net.
