Reven Holdings | The SEC Fight That Froze a Miracle Drug

Three leaders from Reven Holdings, Brian Denomme (President/COO), Peter Lange (CEO), and Michael Volk (Chief Strategy & Compliance Officer), join Steve to discuss the latest major legal development in their ongoing fight with the SEC over the frozen assets of their once-promising drug, RJX.

A federal judge has refused to dismiss Reven’s lawsuit, instead demanding more clarity on whether the SEC’s sweeping asset freeze, which halted all company operations and research, amounts to an unconstitutional government “taking.” The ruling could have billions of dollars in implications and potentially reshape how far federal agencies can go in enforcement actions.

The Reven team shares their side of the story, how a “miracle drug” meant to save lives was stopped cold, what’s next in court, and what this fight means for innovation, investors, and patients nationwide.

—Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — President Trump says negotiations are underway on his Gaza peace proposal. Trump says he thinks the hostages will start being freed very soon.  He said he's hearing the talks are going well and will probably last several days. 

 

Two ---  Illinois Governor JB Pritzker says the Trump administration is making Chicago a war zone over its immigration crackdown.  The governor's comments come as President Trump has authorized 300 National Guard members to Chicago. And on the same weekend that ICE agents were targeted by protesters in Chicago.

And number three ---    Former NFL quarterback and Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez remains hospitalized and is facing charges after a stabbing Saturday in downtown Indianapolis.  Police say Sanchez was stabbed during a physical altercation with another man.  He was arrested at the hospital on charges of battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication.

Scot Bertram | Chicago refuses to help ICE agents under attack by protestors

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — President Trump is appealing a judge's order that blocked his deployment of troops to Oregon.  A federal judge on Saturday granted a temporary restraining order against the administration that would stop National Guard troops from being deployed outside of an ICE facility in Portland.  The judge ruled a trial court would likely find that Trump overstepped his authority. 

 

Two ---  House Speaker Mike Johnson says Democratic lawmakers clearly are to blame for the government shutdown.  Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," Johnson said the reason the government is closed is because Chuck Schumer and 43 other Democrats have voted multiple times to keep it closed. Top Republicans on Capitol Hill are vowing not to cave in to Democrats' demands.

And number three ---    Two teenage girls are dead in what the NYPD believes was due to subway surfing in New York City.  Local news reports say it happened around 3 a.m. Saturday in Brooklyn.  Police say first responders found the two teenagers unconscious at the station and performed CPR but were unable to resuscitate them.  Police are still investigating the exact cause of death.

Couchman explains why Washington keeps failing to pass responsible budgets, what a smarter spending framework could look like, and how taxpayers end up paying the price for political dysfunction.

Scot Bertram | Democrats Embrace the Shutdown

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — Secretary of State Marco Rubio says speed is of the essence for a deal to end the war in Gaza.  Appearing on ABC's "This Week", Rubio said this is not something that can continue to drag out.  His comments come as President Trump is sending special envoys to the Middle East to try to seal his hostage release deal.  Both Israel and Hamas have indicated support for the proposal, but with conditions that still need to be negotiated. 

 

Two ---  A federal judge is stopping the Trump administration from sending members of the  National Guard to the streets of Portland, Oregon.  U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut granted the motion for a temporary restraining order filed by the state of California on Sunday night.  The motion stopped the deployment of up to 300 members of the California National Guard to Portland. No word on how that might affect plans to send the National Guard to Chicago.

And number three ---   The new Michigan state budget cuts 18-hundred full-time jobs, but Governor Gretchen Whitmer says no layoffs will happen.  Most of the job cuts are from Michigan State Police, the Michigan Department of Corrections, and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The openings likely will come from attrition and eliminating current unfilled roles.

Michigan State Senator Michael Webber (R-9th District) joins The Steve Gruber Show to break down the newly passed state budget, what he supports, what he doesn’t, and where Michigan needs stronger fiscal responsibility.

Monty Bennett, CEO of Ashford Inc., philanthropist, and chairman of two major hotel REITs, joins The Steve Gruber Show to react to shocking reports out of Chicago, where police were allegedly told not to assist federal agentsunder attack. An internal dispatch reportedly shows a patrol chief refusing to send help as agents were rammed and surrounded by armed mobs. Bennett and Gruber discuss what this says about law enforcement leadership, public safety, and the growing breakdown of order in America’s big cities, and why local politics are failing those on the front lines.

Haley Strack | Trump’s Call to Dump Jay Jones

Haley Strack, William F. Buckley Fellow in Political Journalism at National Review, joins The Steve Gruber Show to unpack a fierce demand from former President Trump: Jay Jones should drop out of Virginia’s AG race over resurfaced “demented” text messages.
