What Happened: The original meme currency was up nearly 9%, emerging as one of the market&#8217;s biggest gainers in the last 24 hours. DOGE was also the most traded memecoin in the last 24 hours, with volumes surging 109% to $1.4 billion.
Popular cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez highlighted DOGE&#8217;s price and Relative Strength Index (RSI) breakout from a multi-month downtrend, underscoring the coin&#8217;s strength.

Another widely-followed Dogecoin analyst, going by the pseudonym Kevin, also noted the breakout but urged caution, stating that the cryptocurrency still needed to break through major resistance levels.
&#8220;Breaking 0.1434 will be a major milestone,&#8221; Kevin added.

The rally also resulted in net outflows from exchanges, according to IntoTheBlock, indicating traders&#8217; preference to HODL the memecoin for future gains.

Dogecoin Shoots Up 9% Amid Bullish Forecasts For The Good Boy: Breaking This Level Will Be 'A Major Milestone'

Elon Musk, the influential tech entrepreneur, recently emphasized the immense potential of solar energy, citing the Kardashev Scale and simple math to back his claims.
What Happened: In a series of posts on Thursday, Musk, known for his visionary ideas, reiterated his belief in solar energy&#8217;s potential to meet our civilization&#8217;s power needs. He stated on X, &#8220;Once you understand Kardashev Scale, it becomes utterly obvious that essentially all energy generation will be solar.&#8221;

Musk further explained that a small portion of Texas or New Mexico could easily serve all US electricity needs if utilized for solar energy generation. He also highlighted the solar energy received by one square mile on the Earth&#8217;s surface, emphasizing the efficiency of the Starlink global satellite network, which is entirely solar/battery powered.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s recent posts echo his earlier views on solar energy&#8217;s potential. In February 2023, he suggested that the amount of solar energy received by Earth could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/02/30973037/elon-musk-says-this-energy-source-can-power-a-civilization-over-100-times-larger-than-ours">power a civilization</a> 100 times larger than ours.

He noted in August 2023 that the intermittent nature of wind and solar power makes stationary battery packs at utility scale increasingly important.
His company, Tesla Inc, has been actively working on energy storage solutions. In August, Musk announced that Tesla could produce over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33538299/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-says-storage-not-production-limits-scaling-of-renewable-energy-in-california-and">700,000 units of its Powerwall 3</a>, a product he termed &#8216;great&#8217;, in a year.

Elon Musk Says Because Almost None Of You Do Your Math Sums, The World Is Largely Not Using The Big Fireball In The Sky: 'All Energy Generation Will Be Solar'

Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) is taking multiple measures to brace for potential strikes at U.S. ports starting next week. The strikes could affect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40906726/us-port-strike-in-october-could-lead-to-major-supply-chain-disruptions-says-container-trade-expert">ports on the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico</a>.
What Happened: On Thursday, Costco CEO Ron Vachris detailed the company&#8217;s contingency plans during their fourth-quarter earnings call. 
These plans include pre-shipping holiday goods and preparing to use alternative ports. Vachris emphasized the company&#8217;s proactive approach, stating, &#8220;We&#8217;ve done several different things that we could to get holiday goods in ahead of this time frame.&#8221;
The potential strike, set for Oct. 1, could close 36 ports that handle over half of the U.S. ocean trade, including essential items like bananas, meat, and prescription drugs. This could lead to delays and increased costs, impacting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40906726/us-port-strike-in-october-could-lead-to-major-supply-chain-disruptions-says-container-trade-expert">U.S. economy and global shipping networks</a>.
Vachris noted that while the situation could be disruptive, the full impact remains uncertain. &#8220;It could be disruptive based on how impactful, I can&#8217;t tell you until we know the length and what could happen out there. But it is in our sights,&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters: The looming strike comes at a critical time for retailers, especially as they prepare for the holiday season. The potential disruption could have far-reaching effects on the supply chain and consumer prices.
Earlier this month, retailers urged the White House to intervene in negotiations between the International Longshoremen&#8217;s Association and the U.S. Maritime Alliance. The ILA represents over 85,000 dockworkers, and their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40713418/retailers-plea-for-deal-us-ports-union-start-two-day-talk-in-effort-to-prevent-disruptive-strike">contract is set to expire on Sep. 30</a>.
In August, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/08/40451543/transatlantic-container-shipping-volumes-rise-as-possible-strike-at-u-s-ports-hovers">transatlantic shipping volumes</a> surged as retailers preemptively increased their inventories. This was a move to counteract potential supply chain disruptions.
On Sep. 17, container trade expert Christian Roeloffs warned that a strike could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40906726/us-port-strike-in-october-could-lead-to-major-supply-chain-disruptions-says-container-trade-expert">severely disrupt nearly half of the nation&#8217;s ocean trade</a>. He noted that negotiations were showing signs of breaking down, making a strike increasingly likely.
Costco&#8217;s recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/41056967/costco-q4-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-beat-comps-climb-5-4-shares-slide">fourth-quarter earnings report</a> revealed a revenue miss but an earnings per share beat. The company reported quarterly earnings of $5.29 per share, surpassing analyst estimates of $5.08 per share. However, the revenue of $79.697 billion fell short of the consensus estimate of $79.973 billion.
Price Action: Costco Wholesale Corporation&#8217;s stock closed at $901.44 on Thursday, down 0.77% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock fell further 1.43%. However, year to date, Costco&#8217;s stock has increased by 38.54%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/login">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Costco Gears Up For Potential US Port Strikes As CEO Stresses Proactive Steps: America Could 'Get Holiday Goods In Ahead Of This Time Frame'

Renowned economist Peter Schiff mocked Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) investors for their indifference toward the leading cryptocurrency&#8217;s declining value against gold, despite the disproportionate media attention.
What Happened: On Thursday, Schiff questioned Bitcoin enthusiasts on X about the worrying trend. 
&#8220;Are any Bitcoin HODLers concerned that Bitcoin is now down 35% priced in gold since hitting its record high back in Nov. 2021? That&#8217;s almost three years ago,&#8221; Schiff asked. 
The staunch Bitcoin critic said the underperformance came despite heavy advertising, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/40070328/trump-raises-25m-at-bitcoin-conference-in-nashville-second-highest-fundraiser-across-campa">conferences</a>, hype around <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/09/41049391/bitcoin-taps-65k-after-etfs-extend-inflow-hot-streak-to-5-days-heres-what-technical-analysis-is-sayi">spot exchange-traded funds</a>, NFTs, MicorStrategy&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/cryptocurrency/24/09/41000578/microstrategy-a-potential-bitcoin-proxy-now-you-can-trade-its-moves-with-leveraged-mstr-et">Bitcoin holdings</a>, and El Salvador&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40330518/nayib-bukeles-bitcoin-city-project-in-el-salvador-attracts-1-6b-investment-from-turkey-bas">pioneering embrace</a>.
Schiff even added a poll to capture Bitcoin maxis&#8217; sentiment. As of this writing, the &#8220;What, me worry?&#8221; option was leading overwhelmingly with 77% votes, while &#8220;Yes, I&#8217;m a bit concerned&#8221; garnered 22.8% votes.

Several X users countered Schiff on the narrative, reminding him that Bitcoin hit an all-time high earlier in March. However, Schiff remained fixated on the gold-priced value, rather than dollar-priced.
Why It Matters: Earlier this week, Schiff expressed displeasure at investors disregarding gold's record highs while focusing too much on Bitcoin.
His skepticism came at a time when Bitcoin&#8217;s popularity was soaring, with many investors and experts viewing it as a viable alternative to traditional assets. Global asset manager BlackRock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40950912/bitcoins-reserve-asset-appeal-increased-due-to-state-of-us-federal-deficit-and-debt-says-b">advocated for Bitcoin</a> as a safeguard against possible future events affecting the U.S. dollar and economy.
Furthermore, Luke Gromen, president and founder of research firm Forest For The Trees, warned that the U.S. dollar-centric global monetary system is breaking down, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41005694/bitcoin-is-gold-with-a-leverage-says-expert-who-sees-us-government-in-big-trouble-over-deb">adding that both gold and Bitcoin</a> are well-positioned assets in this scenario. 
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $64,867.96, up 2.47% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. Year-to-date, King Crypto has risen 47%, while gold has gained 29%.

According to a study commissioned by the Satya Nadella company, widespread AI adoption in Brazil could boost the country's GDP growth by 4.2 percentage points by 2030.
Brazil currently has a population of more than 220 million people, with at least 177 million internet users as of 2023. According the Statista, the number of internet users in Brazil is projected to grow by 34.2 million between 2024 and 2029.

Alibaba, Costco, BlackBerry, JD.Com, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Safety investigators have recently issued urgent recommendations to Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and the Federal Aviation Administration following the discovery of a potential safety issue with the 737 Max jets. The issue pertains to the pedals used by pilots to steer the aircraft on runways, which can reportedly become jammed due to moisture leakage.
What Happened: The National Transportation Safety Board has discovered that moisture can seep into the rudder assembly and freeze, causing the pedals to jam. This finding was the result of an investigation into an incident involving a United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) plane earlier this year.
The NTSB has found that the faulty work affected at least 353 actuators installed on some Max jets and older 737s. The NTSB has advised Boeing to modify flight manuals to eliminate advice that pilots use maximum pedal force to overpower a jammed rudder, as this could cause sudden rudder movement and potentially lead the plane to go off the runway.

Why It Matters: This latest safety concern adds to the list of issues that have plagued the 737 Max jets. The aircraft were grounded worldwide in March 2019 following two fatal crashes that claimed 346 lives. The planes were allowed to return to service in November 2020 after Boeing made <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/09/40960505/boeing-in-a-death-spiral-of-their-own-making-according-to-a-consultant-as-employees-already-have-a-d">significant changes to the flight control system</a>. 
Price Action: Boeing Co&#8217;s stock closed at $154.58 on Thursday, up 1.55% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock slightly increased 0.0065%. However, year to date, Boeing&#8217;s stock has decreased by 38.60%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/login">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

The global cryptocurrency market surged 3.60% to $2.29 trillion in the last 24 hours.
Stocks bounced back strongly Thursday. The S&amp;P 500 lifted 23.11 points, or 0.40%, to close at a record high of 5,745.37. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.62% to end at 42,175.11, shy of its record close set earlier in the week. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite closed 0.60% higher at 18,190.29.

Additionally, the U.S. real gross domestic product grew by 3% in the second quarter, up from the 1.4% growth seen in the first quarter.&nbsp;
These macroeconomic indicators appeared to support the Fed's soft landing goal after the central bank slashed interest rates for the first time in more than four years last week.

Widely-followed cryptocurrency influencer and trader Scott Melker stated that King Crypto was attempting its first higher high since its March peak.&nbsp;
"A close above $65,000 (some would say it is already confirmed with the break above) would begin a new uptrend off of the $50,000 lows from August. A low, high, higher low, higher high," the investor remarked.
Melker also observed a flip from a bearish market structure to bullish one.

Dogecoin Rips, Bitcoin And Ethereum Surge Amid Strong ETF Inflows And Supportive Economic Data: King Crypto's 'New Uptrend' Anticipated After Close Above $65K

United Atlantic Ventures <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/09/41045271/trumps-djt-stock-rallies-after-sharp-sell-off-but-technicals-signal-tough-times-ahead">sold over seven million shares</a> of Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) on Thursday, according to the company&#8217;s regulatory filing with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 
What Happened: UAV, an investment partnership of former &#8220;The Apprentice&#8221; contestants Andrew Litinsky and Wes Moss, now retains just 100 shares in the company. The sale was made possible after a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40939390/trump-media-technology-group-stock-slides-as-lockup-expiration-looms-whats-going-on">lock-up agreement expired on Sep. 19</a>.
UAV is the only known insider to have sold shares since the lock-up period ended. The company had previously owned a 5.4% stake in Trump Media, which operates the Truth Social app.
Litinsky and Moss initially co-founded Trump Media with former President Donald Trump in 2021 but later had legal disputes over their shares. Trump, who owns over 56% of Trump Media, stated on Sep. 13 that he has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/09/40860859/trump-media-technology-shares-surge-former-president-says-hes-not-selling-or-leaving-truth-s">no plans to sell his shares</a>. 
According to SEC filings, UAV held 7.53 million shares of Trump Media as of Mar. 25. It was later awarded an additional 3.44 million shares &#8220;for no additional consideration based on the performance of our Common Stock,&#8221; per a Trump Media <a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/sec.irpass.cc/2660/0001140361-24-040230.pdf">filing</a> on Sep. 5. 
Though the sale price wasn&#8217;t disclosed, DJT closed at $13.80 last Friday. Based on that closing price, Benzinga estimates UAV&#8217;s sale to be approximately $151.32 million.

Why It Matters: The sale of nearly 11 million shares by UAV comes at a critical time for Trump Media. 
Trump could potentially cash out his shares while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/09/40943414/donald-trump-can-cash-out-his-trump-media-technology-stock-keep-company-control-heres-how-ma">maintaining control of the company</a>. Trump holds a significant stake of 114,750,000 shares, valued at $1.7 billion as of the lock-up expiration date.
Additionally, concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40964812/trumps-stake-in-media-group-raises-ethics-concerns-ahead-of-2024-election-report">ethics and conflicts of interest</a> have been raised ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Trump&#8217;s ownership of Trump Media could pose potential conflicts if he were to win the election, as watchdogs worry about who might buy his shares or how his ownership might influence the media landscape.
Meanwhile, political figures like Rep.&nbsp;Marjorie Taylor Greene&nbsp;(R-Ga.)&nbsp; have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/41031499/marjorie-taylor-greene-stays-loyal-to-trump-keeps-djt-stock-buys-into-warren-buffetts-berkshire-in-l">shown loyalty to Trump by retaining their investments</a> in Trump Media. Greene recently disclosed her stock transactions, which included maintaining her stake in Trump Media while also investing in other companies.
Price Action: Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp&#8217;s stock closed at $13.98 on Thursday, down 1.06% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock declined further by 1.29%. Year to date, the stock has fallen by 19.89%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/login">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Trump Media Shareholder UAV Sells Over 7M Shares Following Lock-Up Expiration, Retains Minimal Stake

Former President Donald Trump has reported threats on his life by Iran, while expressing gratitude to Congress for unanimously approving increased funding for the Secret Service.
What Happened: On Thursday, Trump took to X to reveal that Iran has made unsuccessful attempts on his life. He stated, &#8220;Big threats on my life by Iran. The entire U.S. Military is watching and waiting. Moves were already made by Iran that didn't work out, but they will try again.&#8221;

Trump had previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/22/09/28860521/trump-feared-assassination-attempt-by-iran-despite-public-bravado-following-killing-of-iranian-gener">expressed fear</a> of an assassination attempt by Iran as payback for Soleimani&#8217;s killing, according to a book by New York Times correspondent Peter Baker and New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser.
Earlier this month, Trump survived a reported assassination attempt near his Florida property, vowing to &#8220;never surrender&#8221; after the incident.

Trump Says Big Threats To His Life From Iran: 'An Attack On A Former President Is A Death Wish For The Attacker!'

&#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; fame entrepreneur Mark Cuban recently disputed former President Donald Trump&#8217;s claims regarding violent victimization rates, providing a different perspective on the issue.
What Happened: On Sunday, Cuban took to X to challenge Trump&#8217;s narrative on violent victimization rates. The billionaire bolstered his arguments with &#8220;facts&#8221; shared by noted Australian economist Justin Wolfers.
In a separate post using data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, he stated that the rates have remained within a limited range over the past decade, excluding the pandemic period. This, according to Cuban, contradicts Trump&#8217;s assertion of a significant increase.

The billionaire investor pointed out that the rate was 22.5 last year, lower than the previous year and lower than Trump&#8217;s 23.2 in 2018.
Why It Matters: Cuban&#8217;s comments provide a different perspective on the issue, which has been a point of contention in the political sphere. The entrepreneur, who has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/41052701/mark-cuban-compares-kamala-harris-rise-in-2024-election-polls-betting-odds-to-new-ceo-that-">publicly endorsed</a> Vice President Kamala Harris for president, has been vocal about his views on various Trump policies, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40765551/mark-cuban-asks-trump-advisor-done-any-modeling-of-the-financial-impact-of-deporting-20-million-peop">including immigration and tariff policies</a>.

Mark Cuban Cites Noted Economist To Dish Out 'Facts' On Violent Crime: 'That Makes Trump Wrong'

Following several high-profile departures, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41037848/openai-cto-mira-murati-steps-down-i-want-to-create-the-time-and-space-to-do-my-own-exploration-elon">with the latest being</a> OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, CEO Sam Altman has taken to social media to address the concerns and criticisms raised.
What Happened: On Thursday, Altman took to X, formerly Twitter, and defended the exits of Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, Murati, and others from the company.
He Altman justified the leadership changes as a natural part of the evolution of rapidly growing companies.
&#8220;Leadership changes are a natural part of companies, especially companies that grow so quickly and are so demanding,&#8221; Altman stated.
He also acknowledged the abruptness of the situation, stating, &#8220;Obviously won't pretend it's natural for this one to be so abrupt, but we are not a normal company.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The leadership shakeup at OpenAI comes at a time when the company is reportedly transitioning from a non-profit to a for-profit benefit corporation.
This shift is aimed at making the AI startup more appealing to potential investors. The restructuring could potentially value the company at $150 billion and result in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/41053431/openai-ceo-says-leadership-shakeup-aims-to-flatten-structure-elevate-new-leaders">significant financial gain for Altman</a>.

Sam Altman Hits Back At Trolls After Mira Murati's OpenAI Exit, Explains Executive Drain As Natural: 'We Are Not A Normal Company'

Shytoshi Kusama, the mysterious lead developer of the Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>), shared a GIF, purportedly celebrating the breakout rally of the ecosystem's top cryptocurrencies.
What happened:  On Thursday, the pseudonymous lead posted a meme on X, showing Vegeta, a character in the popular anime series Dragon Ball, smirking after looking at a device.
The media possibly reflected Kusama's own sentiment after watching tokens like SHIB and Bone ShibaSwap (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">BONE</a>) rally sharply over the day.

SHIB, the ecosystem's biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, soared nearly 29% in the last 24 hours, rising to levels not seen since mid-June.&nbsp;
The coin's trading volume more than tripled to $1.2 billion in the 24-hour period,&nbsp;

Additionally, BONE, the token widely used in decentralized exchange, ShibaSwap, and Layer-2 blockchain Shibarium, also bounced nearly 15%.
Why It Matters: The rally came after Shiba Inu's marketing lead, Lucie, teased details about the ecosystem's own stablecoin SHI, which was in the works.
First introduced by the project's founder, Ryoshi, in 2021, Lucie informed that SHI is a "crucial development" and its introduction was aimed at enhancing the features of Shibarium.

Shiba Inu Soars 29% On SHI Stablecoin Update: Lead Developer Shytoshi Kusama Teases Breakout With Dragon Ball Meme — Burn Rate Soars 33818%

Former President Donald Trump has revealed plans to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in New York. This comes despite recent Republican backlash against Zelenskyy&#8217;s lobbying activities in the United States.
What Happened: Zelenskyy has been striving to appease U.S. Republicans, including Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who were upset by his outreach to Democrats. The Ukrainian president&#8217;s efforts are aimed at securing more support for Ukraine&#8217;s position against Russia, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/401e6019-4d52-4af9-919f-c1a133badd3d">reported</a> Financial Times.
Trump announced at a New York press conference that he would meet Zelenskyy on Friday morning at Trump Tower. This follows a letter from Zelenskyy to Trump requesting a meeting to discuss Ukraine&#8217;s pursuit of a &#8220;just peace&#8221;.
Zelenskyy&#8217;s outreach to Trump comes in the wake of Republican backlash over his focus on Democratic politicians during the U.S. election campaign. This occurred despite an $8 billion aid package for Ukraine, backed by Republicans.
The GOP backlash has evoked concern in Kyiv with allies of the Ukranian President saying that his U.S. trip was not managed properly. 
&#8220;It looks like the Republicans were looking for ways to create a scandal but we should have avoided giving them the opportunity. The Republicans will still be strong in Washington. They can block everything,&#8221; said a former Ukrainian official, according to FT.

Why It Matters: The Friday meeting comes after a series of events that have strained relations between the two leaders. According to a previous Benzinga report Trump claimed that Zelenskyy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40998738/trump-says-ukrainian-president-backs-kamala-harris-for-white-house-zelenskyy-is-the-greatest-salesma">prefers Democrats</a> to win the upcoming 2024 U.S. election. 
On Thursday, Trump criticized Zelenskyy after a canceled meeting, accusing him of <a href="http://Trump Zelensky https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41040076/trump-accuses-zelenskyy-of-making-nasty-little-dispersions-after-canceled-meeting-we-continue-to-giv">refusing to negotiate peace</a> and wasting U.S. funds. Trump claimed Zelenskyy insulted him and expressed frustration over continued U.S. financial support for Ukraine.
Zelensky&#8217;s recent U.S. visit, including a munitions factory tour in Pennsylvania, has sparked GOP outrage, with Speaker Johnson and House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) calling it a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41037745/mike-johnson-lashes-out-over-weapons-factory-tour-snub-cries-election-interference-to-ukraine-presid">politically motivated</a> event supporting Vice President Kamala Harris. They've launched an investigation, demanding the dismissal of Ukraine&#8217;s U.S. ambassador for alleged election interference. Democrats dismissed the claims, viewing Zelensky's visit as a show of gratitude.

Trump Set To Meet Ukraine's President Amid Growing Kyiv Concerns Over Botched Visit: 'Republicans Were Looking For Ways To Create A Scandal'

Will Smith&nbsp;once had to address the allegations made by his wife,&nbsp;Jada Pinkett Smith, that he tends to ask strangers for money. The &#8220;Fresh Prince of Bel-Air&#8221; then narrated his side of the tale during a late-night talk show.
What Happened: In December 2017, Will Smith contradicted his wife&#8217;s version of an event where he supposedly asked a stranger for money. Jada had initially narrated this incident during a May 2017 appearance on &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live.&#8221;
Will Smith explained that the incident took place after the launch day of their company, Just Water.
&#8220;So it was the first day, and we're walking down the street in New York, and I see the first pallet coming into the Whole Foods,&#8221; he said.

However, the couple found themselves without cash to purchase their own product. At that moment, Will Smith proposed asking a passerby for a few dollars.
&#8220;[Jada said] there's no way that we're going to walk up to strangers and ask for money,&#8221; the &#8220;The Pursuit of Happyness&#8221; star recalled, adding, &#8220;And I was like, &#8216;Babe, they would like it. It would be fun for them to say Will and Jada borrowed $2.&#8217; She was like, &#8216;They aren't going to say Will and Jada did nothing.'&#8221;
&#8220;She made us walk four blocks to go and get $2 and then four blocks back to get the water, at which point it was good because I was parched,&#8221; he concluded.

</figure>
Why It Matters: Earlier that year, in May, when Jada appeared on the show, Kimmel recalled a story Will Smith had shared. As per the story, Will once found himself at a gas station without his wallet, low on gas, and asked a passerby for $10.
The person was shocked that Will Smith was asking for money but gave it to him nonetheless.
Jada confirmed that this wasn't an isolated incident, explaining that Will frequently pulls similar stunts, especially when she's around.
Kimmel jokingly referred to Will as "the world's most famous panhandler," to which Jada laughed and agreed.

Just Water was founded by Jaden Smith, with the help of his parent Will and Jada. The eco-friendly water startup was inspired by Jaden&#8217;s concern for the environment and the impact of plastic waste on the oceans.
In 2019, the company that offers responsibly sourced water from upstate New York, packaged in a bottle made from 82% renewable materials, hit a $100 million <a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/90398045/jaden-smiths-just-water-just-hit-100-million-valuation">valuation</a>.

Jada Smith Once Said Will Smith Hits Up Strangers For Money, But The 'The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air' Claims Otherwise: 'She Made Us Walk Four Blocks To Go And Get $2' Just To Buy A Bottle Of Water

Kentucky awarded the state&#8217;s first business license under its new<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40784828/kentuckys-massive-cannabis-licensing-response-5-000-applications-filed-before-deadline"> startup program </a>on Thursday. 
KCA Labs, a hemp-testing facility based in Nicholasville, was selected to ensure that all products are tested before reaching patients, Yahoo Finance <a href="https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/kentucky-awards-first-business-license-200326528.html?guccounter=1">reported.</a>

&#8220;I love that the first license is going to an entity that helps us do this safely,&#8221; Governor Andy Beshear (D) said during a press conference in Frankfort. "Our mission is to ensure Kentuckians with serious medical conditions have access to safe and high-quality, tested medical cannabis products. That's exactly what KCA is going to help us do."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">KCA Labs Leading Safety Compliance</h3>
KCA Labs, which previously specialized in hemp testing, is now set to lead the charge in ensuring product quality for Kentucky's medical marijuana program.
CEO Jonathan Thompson expressed confidence in their readiness: "KCA's vast knowledge and experience with testing hemp products will translate neatly into Kentucky's new medical cannabis program."
Safety compliance facilities, such as KCA Labs, will play a pivotal role in testing every product to ensure they meet strict medical standards before being made available to eligible patients.
While the state will use a lottery system to grant licenses to businesses looking to grow, process or sell medical cannabis, there's no limit on the number of safety compliance licenses.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Licensing For Cultivators And Dispensaries</h3>
Kentucky is preparing for its next phase: awarding licenses to cultivators and processors via a lottery system scheduled for Oct. 28. A separate lottery for dispensary licenses is expected to follow in November. This method, according to Beshear, ensures a fair opportunity for applicants who successfully navigate the initial screening process.
The governor explained the reasoning behind this approach. "Caps on those licenses are meant to avoid flooding the market with products and exceeding demand." With nearly 5,000 applications submitted, the lottery system helps regulate supply, ensuring the market remains balanced and sustainable.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Overcoming Legislative Hurdles</h3>
Kentucky's medical marijuana program has overcome numerous legislative challenges to get to this point. After years of delays, state lawmakers passed the bill in 2023 to legalize medical cannabis for individuals with severe conditions, including cancer, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, epilepsy, chronic nausea and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
In April of this year, Beshear signed follow-up legislation accelerating the licensing timeline by six months, allowing the program to begin awarding licenses in 2024 instead of 2025.
