This episode of The Midas Touch podcast is brought to you by Whoop, the wearable health and fitness coach that gives you personalized insights into your sleep, recovery, strain, stress, and overall health. Listen, I've tried a bunch of wearables, and I found a lot of them to be so overwhelming. I don't need another screen constantly tapping me, pinging me, and sending me notifications. But that's what I love about Whoop. The Whoop 5.0 wearable is screenless, so it just sits quietly on my wrist collecting data. And whenever I want, I can open the companion app and get this incredibly detailed picture of what's happening with my body and actually use that information to make proactive decisions. And with a one year old, sleep has become a bit of a luxury. Whoop helps me pinpoint the things that are actually affecting me. Did that 4pm cup of coffee hurt my sleep? Did that run on the treadmill bring down my stress? How well am I actually recovering? Whoop gives me a full picture of my health without overloading me, and it's helped me build a healthier routine around what my body is actually telling me.

We are learning that Stephen Miller, a former top advisor to Donald Trump and Donald Trump's former speech writer, appeared on Tuesday before the criminal federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., investigating crimes relating to the January 6th insurrection, as well as 2020 election interference and their investigation, of course, includes potential crimes committed by Donald Trump. Now, Stephen Miller is the first witness to be called before the federal criminal grand jury since Jack Smith took over the investigation, the criminal investigation of Donald Trump, as part of his appointment as special counsel after being appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland. Now, the fact that Stephen Miller, a former top aide in the executive branch, was questioned by the federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, tells us a number of things that we can draw from this. So, the first thing that it tells us is that Jack Smith is pursuing this investigation in a very aggressive manner, two, it tells us that Jack Smith hasn't missed a beat in his criminal investigation, and third, it tells us that Donald Trump is now unable or is struggling in his ability to assert these frivolous privileges, which he had been fighting the Department of Justice for many months. And specifically, Donald Trump had previously been asserting executive privilege. And as we reported here on the Midas Touch network, the Department of Justice had to go before the presiding judge, Judge Beryl Howell, who oversees these criminal grand juries in Washington, D.C., and to actually get an order from the judge, which took place back in October after a lot of these issues were raised several months back where witnesses, for example, Mark Short, the former chief of staff to former Vice President Pence and Greg Jacobs, the former general counsel to former Vice President Pence, they said, "Look, we want to answer your questions, but Trump's asserting executive privilege. We're happy to answer questions about our communications with Donald Trump. Just get us a court order that says that we can testify on these things, and we'll answer those questions." And also note this, that those individuals did not answer those questions before the January 6th committee, they continued to assert the executive privilege, but the Department of Justice successfully prevailed before Judge Beryl Howell with respect to Mark Short and Greg Jacobs, which I believe to basically be a precedent-setting ruling for all of these other individuals who have the same issues, like Pat Cipolloni, Trump's former top lawyer, and Cipolloni's top deputy, Patrick Feldman, when they're asserting executive privilege. Now, the Department of Justice just points to Judge Beryl Howell's prior orders with Short and with Greg Jacobs and says, "Look, you've already ruled that executive privilege doesn't apply here." And so the fact that we now have this testimony from Stephen Miller, who ostensibly would be someone asserting executive privilege. Now, grand juries take place in secret, so we don't specifically know what transpired during the testimony, but the fact that the testimony lasted a significant duration, it's believed to have taken place over many hours. There has not been any leaks of any assertion of executive privilege, leads us to believe that the Department of Justice has really successfully prevailed in stopping Donald Trump's bogus assertion of executive privilege and is able to get to the heart of
