“Did you ever read ‘Man’s Search for Meaning’?” Mr. Gutfeld said. “Vik Frankl talks about how you had to survive in a concentration camp by having skills. You had to be useful. Utility kept you alive.”Ms. Tarlov did not address Mr. Gutfeld’s question directly, instead saying she was concerned about middle school children being taught what Florida had set in its new curriculum. A White House spokesman, Andrew Bates, released a statement on Tuesday condemning Fox News for broadcasting Mr. Gutfeld’s comments, calling them “a horrid, dangerous, extreme lie that insults the memory of the millions of Americans who suffered from the evil of enslavement.” He added, “There was nothing good about slavery; there was nothing good about the Holocaust.”Fox News has not commented on Mr. Gutfeld’s statement.

☆ Netflix stock sinks as Wall Street looks for clarity on revenue growth
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-20 | by ( Lillian Rizzo | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

"I think people expected a lot more revenue growth in the third quarter, plus there was the weakness in [average revenue per membership]," said analyst Michael Nathanson of MoffettNathanson. Netflix stock sank more than 9% Thursday after a quarterly earnings report that was largely positive, but left Wall Street underwhelmed and uncertain about key revenue drivers. Netflix's stock has risen on the rollout of ad-supported streaming and a new password sharing policy, which are both meant to boost revenue. "Most of our revenue growth this year is from growth in volume through new paid memberships, and that's largely driven by our paid sharing rollout," Neumann said. In a note following the earnings report, however, Cahall said "patience is a virtue," and called out investors that were "over-exuberant on paid sharing," noting revenue growth will take longer.

☆ How Netflix can end the Hollywood strike in a way Disney, Paramount can't afford

"The strike is not something we wanted," said Sarandos, whose company is negotiating jointly with competing movie studios like Disney and Paramount whose parent companies also own streaming services. Some big-media companies that own streaming services, like Paramount and Disney, have seen their shares drop even in the renewed bull market of the past year. LightShed Partners analyst Rich Greenfield says Netflix made $6.5 billion last year excluding interest, taxes, and non-cash charges, while rival streaming services at Paramount, Disney and NBC lost more than $8 billion. That's a relatively small number for an industry with revenues topping $70 billion, $31.6 billion of it last year at Netflix. Paramount Global's Paramount+ service lost $1.8 billion last year, but saw losses shrink in the first quarter.

Mr. Epps can be seen on video encouraging demonstrators to march with him and enter the Capitol at one point. But in May, the lawsuit says, the Justice Department notified Mr. Epps that it was planning to file criminal charges against him related to his role in the Capitol attack. It is difficult to hear what Mr. Epps says in the video. But promoters of the conspiracy theories about him have used that moment to accuse him of uttering some kind of command. Mr. Epps has said he called the F.B.I.’s National Threat Operations Center shortly after the alert went up, and his phone records show he spoke to agents there for nearly an hour.

In part, that's because tips make up a larger part of workers' pay in the U.S., particularly in industries like entertainment, food service, and leisure and hospitality. In fact, in some of those jobs, workers make less than minimum wage because they are considered "tipped employees." (Some states are now increasing the hourly minimum wage for tipped employees or eliminated tipping wages altogether.) This applies primarily to restaurant workers, although other employees who receive more than $30 a month in tips may qualify. For these workers, tips can boost wages by about 25%, according to data from payroll platform Gusto.

He can be seen moving past a line of Capitol Police at the barricades, but never actually goes inside the Capitol. Federal prosecutors have not charged Mr. Epps with a crime, focusing instead on the more than 1,000 other demonstrators who acted violently or were trespassing in the Capitol. The Justice Department’s sprawling investigation into the attack remains open, however, and Mr. Epps could still be indicted. Yet for more than 18 months, Mr. Carlson insisted that the lack of charges against Mr. Epps could mean only one thing: that he was being protected because he was a secret government agent. There was “no rational explanation,” Mr. Carlson told his audience, why this “mysterious figure” who “helped stage-manage the insurrection” had not been charged.

That has hurt shares of energy companies: after soaring in 2022, the S&P 500 energy sector (.SPNY) has lost nearly 10% this year, making it the index’s worst performing sector. Most investors believe central bank interest rate hikes to fight inflation should keep a lid on global growth for the time being. Yet some are positioning for a rebound in energy shares, drawn by attractive valuations and signs the U.S. will continue to stave off an economic downturn.

☆ 'Planned in plain sight': Senate report finds intel agencies failed in the lead-up to Jan. 6

WASHINGTON — Federal law enforcement agencies failed to correctly analyze a wide range of intelligence showing the potential for violence on Jan. 6, 2021, Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security Committee concluded in a report released Tuesday. That post was one of many alluding to the potential for violence leading up to Jan. 6. "What was shocking is that this attack was essentially planned in plain sight in social media," Peters said in an interview, "And yet it seemed as if our intelligence agencies completely dropped the ball." According to the report, similar streams of intelligence continued to flood federal agencies tasked with keeping watch for violent activity. "On the contrary, these threats were made openly, often in publicly available social media posts, and FBI and I&A were aware of them."

The new report concluded officials did not take the intelligence they did receive seriously enough before Jan. 6. "Those agencies failed to fully and accurately assess the severity of the threat identified by that intelligence," investigators concluded. The report found that FBI received a tip in December 2020 that the far-right Proud Boys planned to be in Washington. Peters' committee staffers focused their findings on the "two primary domestic intelligence agencies," the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Intelligence and Analysis. The Department of Homeland Security emphasized that it had already ordered a review of its Office of Intelligence and Analysis.

Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday released a scathing report that detailed how the F.B.I., the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies repeatedly ignored, downplayed or failed to share warnings of violence before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Aides said Senate staff obtained thousands of additional documents from federal law enforcement agencies, including the Justice Department, before drafting the report. It includes multiple calls for armed violence, calls to occupy federal buildings including the Capitol and some of the clearest threats the F.B.I. “Our intelligence agencies completely dropped the ball,” said Senator Gary Peters, Democrat of Michigan and the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee. He added: “Despite a multitude of tips and other intelligence warnings of violence on Jan. 6, the report showed that these agencies repeatedly — repeatedly — downplayed the threat level and failed to share the intelligence they had with law enforcement partners.”

Since then, the U.S. government has won hundreds of convictions against the rioters, with some getting long prison sentences. Trump currently is seen as the leading candidate to win the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Intelligence agencies on Jan. 3-4, 2021, knew of multiple postings on social media calling for armed violence and storming the Capitol. The Senate report noted that the Office of Intelligence and Analysis had been criticized then for "over-collecting intelligence on American citizens," resulting "in a 'pendulum swing' after which analysts were then hesitant to report open-source intelligence they were seeing in the lead-up to January 6th." The report concluded there is a "clear need ... for a reevaluation of the federal government’s domestic intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination processes."

“As Secretary Mayorkas has said, the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, was a violent assault on our democracy,” the spokesperson said. In a statement to CNN, the FBI said it worked with law enforcement agencies to share information before and during the Capitol attack. And yet it seemed as if our intelligence agencies completely dropped the ball,” Sen. Gary Peters, a Michigan Democrat who chairs the committee, told reporters on Monday while previewing the report’s findings. Over 1,000 people have been charged in connection with the January 6 Capitol attack, nearly a third of whom have been charged with assaulting police that day, according to the Justice Department. These findings undercut a key criticism from Republicans who, in seeking to whitewash the Capitol attack, have often claimed law enforcement targeted conservatives in their open-source searches surrounding the insurrection.
