Eric Trump, son of President-elect Donald Trump, has committed to making his father&#8217;s administration the most crypto-friendly in U.S. history. This announcement was made during his keynote speech at the Bitcoin MENA conference held in the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday.
What Happened: Eric Trump said that the U.S. will lead the &#8220;digital revolution.&#8221; He suggested that cryptocurrency could offer financial solutions to millions of people who have been &#8220;let down by the modern world,&#8221; <a href="https://thehill.com/business/5033348-eric-trump-pro-crypto-president/">reported</a> The Hill.
Eric Trump criticized the traditional banking system as being obsolete and assured that his father&#8217;s administration would not overregulate or hinder Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and other cryptocurrencies. 
&#8220;You're going to have the most procrypto president in the history of America,&#8221; said Eric Trump about his father. He asked the audience to imagine a president who &#8220;isn't going to allow bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to be overregulated and stifled.&#8221;
He also disclosed that cryptocurrency served as a financial lifeline for the Trump family following the Capitol insurrection in 2021, when several banks and corporations cut ties with them.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42378684/shiba-inus-208-surge-this-year-sparks-predictions-of-top-10-crypto-ranking-in-2025?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shiba Inu&#8217;s 208% Surge This Year Sparks Predictions Of Top 10 Crypto Ranking In 2025</a>
He attributed this incident as an eye-opener to the potential of the crypto industry. The president-elect had earlier launched the Trump family&#8217;s venture into the crypto market, World Liberty Financial, in September. Although it <a href="https://thehill.com/business/5033348-eric-trump-pro-crypto-president/">did not meet its $300 million target</a>, the platform reportedly sold about $2.7 million in its first two weeks.
During his address, Eric Trump emphasized that the value of bitcoin soared to $100,000 per token after the president-elect nominated crypto enthusiast Paul Atkins to head the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Why It Matters:   Eric Trump has since been vocal about his belief in Bitcoin&#8217;s potential to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42420883/eric-trump-is-confident-bitcoin-is-going-to-hit-1-million">disrupt traditional banking systems</a>, as he expressed at the same event in UAE. 
The appointment of crypto enthusiast David Sacks as the "White House A.I. &amp; Crypto Czar" further <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42356067/venture-capitalist-david-sacks-appointed-as-white-house-ai-crypto-czar-by-trump">signals the administration&#8217;s commitment</a> to the crypto industry. The president-elect&#8217;s promise of a "golden age of America" includes a focus on boosting market metrics, including cryptocurrencies, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42422705/donald-trump-would-welcome-150000-bitcoin-early-in-presidency-its-another-stock-market-for-him">Axios</a> in December 2024. This pro-crypto stance is expected to usher in a new era of cryptocurrency-friendly policies.

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) announced the launch of Amazon Autos on Tuesday. Car shoppers in 48 U.S. cities can order, finance and schedule pickup of a new Hyundai from a local dealer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42393331/stock-of-the-day-will-amazon-take-the-market-lower">directly on Amazon.</a>
The Details: Amazon Autos is initially <a href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/amazon-news-today">rolling out </a>with new Hyundai vehicles and customers in available cities can shop for Hyundai vehicles by visiting amazon.com/autos; searching &#8220;Amazon Autos&#8221; on Amazon.com or through the mobile app.

"We're partnering with dealers and brands to redesign car shopping — making it more transparent, convenient, and customer-friendly,&#8221; said Fan Jin, global head of Amazon Autos. 
&#8220;With Amazon Autos, we're bringing the simplicity and ease customers expect from Amazon to car shopping, one of their largest purchases, while offering dealers a new channel to connect with a broad audience," Jin added.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Move Over Carvana? Amazon Autos offers trade-ins, but customers can only purchase new Hyundai models for now. Carvana Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>) has a similar online vehicle purchase experience, but specializes in used vehicles from a wide selection of different brands and is the largest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40906185/used-car-seller-carvana-on-road-to-15b-revenue-by-2025-as-unit-growth-accelerates-b">used car retailer</a> in the country. 
Carvana also offers home delivery while Amazon Autos requires the customer to schedule pick-up from a participating dealer location. Additionally, Carvana&#8217;s prices are fixed, eliminating the need for negotiation, which some buyers prefer.&nbsp;
Amazon Autos said it will expand to include additional automotive brands next year, as well as add more cities and features including leasing and expanded financing options.&nbsp;
"We&#8217;re excited to have Hyundai as our exclusive launch partner and look forward to welcoming more brands and expanding our selection to customers as the program grows. It's still early for us and we welcome customer and dealer feedback as we continue to add new functionality, expand to additional brands, and iterate on the customer experience," Jin said.&nbsp;
AMZN Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Amazon shares ended Tuesday's session down 0.46% at $225.04.&nbsp;

A McDonald's Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) restaurant in Pennsylvania became the location of a police arrest for the suspect now <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42423214/luigi-mangione-fights-extradition-to-new-york-on-murder-charge-shouts-at-press-outside-courthouse">charged with the murder</a> of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The arrest, which came from customers and employees recognizing suspect Luigi Mangione from surveillance photos released by New York City police, has some people upset that police were called.
What Happened: Mangione has been charged with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/12/42316904/unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-fatally-shot-outside-nyc-hotel">death of Thompson, </a>the CEO Of UnitedHealthcare, a unit of UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>).
His arrest came after a McDonald's employee called police as patrons recognized the suspect, which led to his arrest.
With a potential motive for the murder of Thompson being related to the high cost of insurance premiums and high rate of insurance claim denials, the insurance sector is seeing an increased spotlight that has also made some sympathetic to whoever completed the murder.
Some who were upset with the handling of Mangione being arrested at the McDonald's used the power of the internet and social media reviews to take down the Pennsylvania restaurant location.
A large amount of one-star reviews began popping up on Google for the Pennsylvania McDonald's, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/10/business/google-removes-bad-mcdonalds-reviews-after-worker-reports-luigi-mangione/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=nypost_business&amp;utm_source=twitter">reported </a>by the New York Post. Google, which is a unit of Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) removed one-star reviews.
"These reviews violate our policies and are being removed," a Google spokesperson told The New York Post.
While many of the one-star reviews, which are part of a process known as "review bombing" had been removed, the news outlet found several still remained.
"More like Narc-donalds…I hope obesity and heart disease are in-network in PA," one review said.
Review company Yelp Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YELP#NYSE">YELP</a>) also saw a rush of new reviews on the Pennsylvania McDonald's and put a warning on the location's page that said "Unusual Activity Alert."
Here are some of the <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/mcdonalds-altoona?start=90">reviews </a>left on Yelp for the McDonald's location:
<ul>
<li>"Avoid this McDonald's location, they're out of your network. The food will send you to an early grave and no health insurance will cover that — they're in the business of denials."</li>
<li>"Major rat problem in this most anti-American establishment. Never going to eat here again."</li>
<li>"The staff was rude and they called the police on my friend Luigi. There were rats everywhere."</li>
<li>"One of the employees told me because I'm poor I don't deserve healthcare."</li>
<li>"Horrible service and the patrons today were McSnitches. Home they McStitches and their insurance doesn't pay for it."</li>
</ul>

Why It's Important: The Pennsylvania McDonald's had private security at the location Tuesday as it saw an increased influx of customers and media. &nbsp;
Regulars at the location thought Mangione looked familiar and their conversation heard by an employee prompted the employee to call police.
"A guy came in the door, and I didn't really look at him, I thought everyone was kidding around. The one guy said, ‘That looks like the shooter from New York,'" a witness named Larry <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/luigi-mangione-altoona-mcdonalds-witness/">told </a>CBS News.
The employee recognized Mangione while taking his order, according to the report.
McDonald's workers have said they are worried about their safety after Mangione's arrest. The Altoona Police Department, which arrested Mangione, has also received death threats, according to the report.
The sympathy that has shifted towards Mangione since his arrest comes with his social media accounts on Instagram and Facebook, which are owned by Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42406434/meta-and-youtube-remove-accounts-of-luigi-mangione-but-x-reinstates-profile-elon-musk-says-happened-without-my-knowledge"> being shut down</a>. YouTube also deleted several channels linked to Mangione.
An account <a href="https://x.com/PepMangione">linked </a>to Mangione on X, a social media platform owned by Elon Musk, was shut down before being reinstated as Musk said he was "looking into it."
Mangione's account on X went from having under 1,000 followers to more than 300,000 at the time of writing. The last post made by Mangione was a retweet in June 2024 with his last original post made on May 14, 2024.
The May 14, 2024 post, now having millions of impressions, was centered on cellular agriculture and mentioned the company Agronomics Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGNMF#OTC">AGNMF</a>), a penny stock that has seen a sizable boost to its share price this week.
The X account for Mangione was unverified on Monday, but is now verified Tuesday with users questioning who paid for or approved of the blue check and asking if the suspect will receive revenue similar to other accounts on the platform. 
A meme coin called Luigi was also launched and saw sizable action on Monday and Tuesday.
Users have also flocked to the GoodReads account reportedly belonging to Mangione. The profile features a reading history of books on back pain and a four-star review of the manifesto of Ted Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber.
GoodReads, which is owned by Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) could end up a potential winner in the increased traffic related to Mangione on the site.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Texas Pacific Land Stock In The Last 10 Years

Allegations of the Department of Justice secretly obtaining communications records from members of Congress, their staff and journalists have reignited concerns about executive branch overreach <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/doj">and privacy breaches. </a>
A report from the DOJ inspector general reveals phone and email records were seized during leak investigations under former President Donald Trump, targeting individuals like Kash Patel, now nominated to lead the FBI, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/10/politics/justice-department-spying-congress-patel-trump-ig-report/index.html">CNN </a>reports.
What Happened: The investigation reportedly focused on individuals with access to sensitive information, including Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calf.) and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), according to sources familiar with the matter. Patel, a former staffer on the House Intelligence Committee, was also among those whose records were obtained, along with journalists from prominent outlets like CNN, The Washington Post and The New York Times.
Prosecutors bypassed established procedures, failing to convene an internal committee or obtain required certifications, according to the report.
In total, records from over 40 congressional staffers were seized without their knowledge through non-disclosure orders. The report cautioned that these actions risk undermining congressional oversight by creating an appearance of executive interference.

Why It Matters: These revelations underscore the need for stricter safeguards to protect the constitutional balance between legislative and executive powers. Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42378469/anthony-scaramucci-compares-trumps-fbi-pick-kash-patel-to-matt-gaetz">speaking on CNN</a>, highlighted the political dimensions of these appointments. 
He suggested Patel's nomination might serve to appeal to Trump's base rather than present a realistic path to confirmation. Patel's nomination has drawn mixed reactions, with Devin Nunes describing him as an "immensely talented lawyer" while critics question his qualifications.
Patel's confirmation process, which could extend into 2025, is expected to draw intense scrutiny, particularly given his vocal criticism of the so-called &#8220;deep state.&#8221; For now, the inspector general's findings have amplified calls for reforms to ensure transparency and accountability in DOJ investigations involving elected officials and journalists.

The Federal Reserve is widely expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points during its Dec. 18 meeting, with fed funds futures pricing in a nearly 90% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">chance of the move. </a>
Not all voices in the financial world are cheering for lower rates.
Ed Yardeni, a veteran Wall Street investor, argues the Fed is on the brink of a policy misstep that could overheat the economy and spark market instability as we head into 2025.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Yardeni Asks The Fed Not To Cut Any Further</h1>
In a post shared Tuesday, Yardeni made his stance crystal clear: "Our recommendation to the Fed is to stand pat at the Dec. 17-18 FOMC meeting." 
According to Yardeni, the Fed has already slashed the federal funds rate aggressively this year, and further easing risks fueling inflation and stock market euphoria. 
"The reasoning for a 25bps cut on December 18 might simply be because markets expect one," he said.
Yardeni warned this could conflict with the central bank&#8217;s dual mandate of stable prices and full employment, as inflation remains sticky while the labor market continues to show strength.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Inflation Stubbornly High, Labor Market Sturdy</h1>
Key economic indicators underscore Yardeni's concerns. 
"Inflation is too high, real GDP growth is strong, and the labor market is near full employment," Yardeni said. 
The November employment report, released last week, shattered doubts about the labor market's resilience. Nonfarm payrolls outperformed expectations, reinforcing the notion that the summer slowdown was a mere blip.
Meanwhile, inflation is refusing to cool. November's Consumer Price Index report, due this week, is expected to reveal inflation still hovering uncomfortably above the Fed's 2% target.
Supercore CPI, which excludes shelter and focuses on services, sits above 4.5% year-over-year, while nominal wage growth holds at 4%.
Adding fuel to the fire, the National Federation of Independent Business small business survey reported that plans to raise worker compensation jumped from 18% in July to 28% in November. With wage pressures rising, Yardeni is skeptical inflation will retreat any time soon.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Stock Market Euphoria And The Risks of Overheating</h1>
Yardeni cautioned further rate cuts could exacerbate the stock market's meteoric rise, creating conditions for a correction early next year.
The S&amp;P 500, as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), has already soared more than 26% year-to-date, buoyed by optimism surrounding dovish Fed policies coupled with economic strength.
"We suspected as much when we raised the odds of a stock market melt-up following the Fed's 50bps cut in September," Yardeni said. 
This prediction appears to have materialized as long-term bonds sold off and yields surged, signaling bond market discomfort with excessive easing.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next For Powell And The Fed?</h1>
At November's Federal Open Market Committee meeting, Fed Chair Jerome Powell indicated the challenges of modeling fiscal policies under the new administration, including tax cuts and tariffs.
Yardeni argues these fiscal measures are likely at odds with further monetary easing given economic conditions.
The FOMC's blackout period prevents officials from offering public guidance ahead of this week's CPI data release.
Yardeni suspects Powell, who turned dovish at August's Jackson Hole conference, will likely proceed with the 25bps cut while emphasizing data dependency in his post-meeting remarks.
"Will the Fed wake up to the economic realities or will the elusive neutral-rate fantasy continue to guide monetary policy? We shall see," Yardeni said, summing up his skepticism.
The central question now is whether Powell and the Fed will heed these warnings or whether December's rate cut could pave the way for an economic overheating and market turbulence in 2025.

This will result in the elimination of approximately 20 direct labor roles. Changes will also include moving to a 10-hour, 4-day work week from the standard 8-hour, 5-day schedule.
