U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent speaks during a House Financial Services Committee hearing in Washington on Tuesday. WASHINGTON - U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended a range of Trump administration economic policies before lawmakers on Tuesday, from currency and bond market interventions to AI safety, disclosing plans to meet with his Chinese counterpart this weekend. Bessent told a hearing of the House Financial Services Committee that U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping would continue discussions next week on Iran and China's financial links to Tehran. Washington has been seeking to shut Iran out of Western financial systems as the Iran war stretches into its seventh month. The hearing was nominally on the international finance system, including reforms to the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, but lawmakers peppered Bessent with questions about more pressing issues, such as the state of financial markets and the economy, and the administration's financial measures against Iran.

Colin Kaepernick claims he wakes up every morning and still trains as if he were in the NFL. He reiterated to Jemele Hill at the Black Footwear Forum on Saturday in Detroit, Michigan, that he still believes he can play in the league and is waiting for that opportunity. Unfortunately, despite our attendance, OutKick could not ask him about his position because he and Hill chose not to take questions from the crowd. Hill, of course, did not challenge Kaepernick on his statement.

The Albanese government is considering giving AI companies access to Australian creatives' works by default as it pursues a compromise with US tech giants. "It would mean putting AI companies' interests over everyday Australians, giving AI companies access to all Australians' content, unless they opt out," Pocock said on Tuesday. "The burden should not fall on Australians to defend the rights they already hold over content they create and own and invest in." The proposals were contained in a document Pocock described as screenshots of government's consultation proposals, tabled in the Senate on Tuesday and titled "AI on Australian Terms". The document raises as a key issue the vast number of small individual creators of online content, for which voluntary deals with AI companies "is not realistic/possible".

Following shortly after, Nvidia's CEO argued against such deceleration. Dario Amodei used an automotive analogy to make his point: when a competing car company has a safety incident like brake failures, it is a moment for all car companies to stop and review their own practices, he said at Salesforce's Dreamforce convention on Tuesday. "It's very tempting to attack your competitor and say these guys are unsafe," he said. "But I think the more responsible way to respond to it is to say, let's look at our own record. We may not have had this big, high-profile incident, but I'm sure we're not perfect."
