RFID chips in you credit cards?

You have a text version? ... not going to watch videos about something that can likely be stated in a paragraph or two.
Anyways, some card issuers, in particular Chase, have been issuing cards with RFID for the past few years - this is nothing new. The presence of a RFID chip is typically disclosed on the card (ie. Blink) and/or in the card mailer. A non-RFID version is may be available upon request so it's not necessarily a forced thing (RFID cards are not the same as smartchip cards, which are common in many countries); some issuers still don't offer RFID cards at all.

This is widely known; RFID is not secure.
And hence issuers of such cards emphasize customers are not liable for fraudulent use. In addition, large purchases still require a signed receipt; Blink, and similar, is generally aimed towards small purchases, such as at fast food places, of $25 and less.

"Obama's America"? Let's get real - it's both parties. And currency tracking is age old.
From what I've been able to find, currently (not sure about the new $100s coming out soon), RFID chips are not in U.S. money.
However, large quantities of U.S. bills are remotely detectable through other methods, such as due to the unique material content and odor of bills (ie. there are dogs trained to sniff out money).
