Got to say, basically, if it impacts financial markets, if it impacts companies, if it's impacting trends and narratives that are out there, we are on it.

And we are doing this all live each weekday.

And then we bring you the best analysis in our daily podcast.

Check it out on your way home from work to catch up on the conversations that you missed during the business day.

Are you concerned at all, Michael, though, about some of the newer entrants into this space and whether that maybe not necessarily usurps what you're doing, but I guess augments it in a way that your next fundraising and your next efforts might not get the same attention and buy-in as you did in the past?

How do you respond to some of the concerns out there, if not just direct criticism, about the potential sales of any of your holdings and what that could do to the market?

All right, Michael, really appreciate it.

MicroStrategy right now on its strongest two-day run going back to the beginning of July.

A big bomb thrown into the mix by Bill Pulte, the head of the nation's leading finance agency, asking the U.S.

Justice Department to investigate Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.

Allegations made by Bill Pulte citing documents that his agency received involving mortgage fraud.

the Justice Department has weighed in and said that they are considering looking deeper into the matter.

Lisa Cook herself has already responded, saying that she is willing to provide any additional information that the investigators are looking for, but that she won't be bullied into stepping down.

I'm pleased to say that Bill Pulte joins us right now.

He is the director, of course, of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

And Bill, I do want to start off particularly with the investigation, of course,

that you brought to light, that Bloomberg reporters brought to light prior to that, and the documents that are at the center of that, and where exactly those mortgage documents originated from and how they got to your desk.

When you look at the documents that you have, the publicly available documents, I am curious whether you or anyone at your agency had a chance to actually speak to Lisa Cook, her lawyers, or any representatives about what you found in those documents.
