00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.

00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.

00:00:40.660 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.

00:00:46.960 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

00:00:50.320 Christ is king.

00:00:52.340 At least two people are dead after an Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic church.

00:00:56.600 It's the same church the late Pope Francis would call every night from the start of the war until his death in April.

00:01:03.260 The church's priest, Father Gabrielle Romanelli, was injured in the strike.

00:01:07.680 And while the House has now passed all three of those crypto bills, the one on market structure, that will go to the Senate.

00:01:13.520 The one on banning the central bank digital currency, that will also go to the Senate.

00:01:17.640 And of course, the one on stable coins, and that one is headed to the White House tomorrow to President Trump's desk.

00:01:23.560 We're already hearing that there is expected to be a ceremony to sign it.

00:01:26.820 Today, L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna reaffirmed his department's commitment to following state sanctuary laws,

00:01:32.500 even as federal immigration officials ramp up demands.

00:01:36.060 Sheriff Luna saying that California law prohibits helping the feds.

00:01:39.580 We will only transfer an individual into ICE custody if we are presented with a federal judicial warrant that's signed by a judge.

00:01:50.560 Overnight, President Trump calling for his attorney general to release more details in the Epstein case.

00:01:55.580 Trump posted on Truth Social saying, quote,

00:01:57.980 Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein,

00:02:01.800 I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent grand jury testimony subject to court approval.

00:02:08.880 Bondi quickly responding, saying, quote,

00:02:11.280 President Trump, we're ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.

00:02:15.920 All right, folks, we are back here.

00:02:17.360 Human Events Daily.

00:02:18.560 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, live Washington, D.C.

00:02:23.620 Today is July 18th, 2025, Anno Domini.

00:02:28.620 Folks, President Trump now going on offense regarding Epstein.

00:02:33.460 This Wall Street Journal ridiculous report dropped last night, late last night.

00:02:39.200 Nobody can really make heads or tails of this thing.

00:02:41.880 There's some strange letter that's out there that nobody can really seem to have any identification of.

00:02:47.780 When we look at the reporter who put it out, you know, this guy, Joe Palazzolo,

00:02:57.120 his, I've been running some information on his, just Twitter,

00:03:01.980 and I can find scoops from him prior to 2015, all financial related.

00:03:06.560 And then suddenly, after that, it switches, and he's got articles up about Michael Cohen.

00:03:12.840 He's got articles about Stormy Daniels.

00:03:15.660 He's got so many of these other stories, Elliot Broidy, et cetera, et cetera.

00:03:19.300 So, you know, really just a huge switch.

00:03:22.420 Looks like he's got some DOJ inside sources.

00:03:25.320 Then you got Susan Crabtree, the great Susan Crabtree over at RealClearPolitics, 0.99

00:03:28.620 saying that he's got, you know, information relating to Fusion GPS and connections to Fusion GPS.

00:03:35.160 But at the end of the day, President Trump now going on offense and directing

00:03:39.680 Pam Bondi late last night to begin the process for unsealing the Epstein grand jury documents.

00:03:47.760 I want to bring on now conservative commentator Evita Duffy to kind of weigh in on all this,

00:03:53.680 and particularly from the Gen Z angle and how this is all playing out.

00:03:58.100 Evita, how are you?

00:04:00.000 Good.

00:04:00.540 Thanks for having me, Jack.

00:04:01.440 Well, this is, I mean, for a lot of us, you know, this is really something that a lot

00:04:07.320 of us were pushing for, this idea, go on offense, really meet these things head on.

00:04:12.620 This has been a sort of interesting play to see for the last 10 days here as it's gone

00:04:19.100 up since the DOJ memo originally happened.

00:04:21.800 But what do you think the sense is of the importance of this story when it comes to young voters?

00:04:27.880 Well, Jack, there's a deep fascination among young voters with this story, with any sort

00:04:33.120 of deep state conspiracy story there's going to be.

00:04:36.020 And I think this is especially gripping for young people because they've completely lost

00:04:41.100 all trust in the system.

00:04:43.640 And this goes for left and right.

00:04:45.000 It's bipartisan.

00:04:46.200 Really, it's what MAGA is.

00:04:47.840 It's why I think Trump has been able to garner so many young supporters is that they realize,

00:04:53.040 young people, that our system's broken, that there are people for some reason in media,

00:04:59.280 in the government, in the intelligentsia class who can get away with literally anything and

00:05:04.000 there are no consequences and justice has really broken down.

00:05:07.080 And so I think this is why Trump has been so successful in the past.

00:05:11.020 It's why the deep state went after him when he was first elected with the Russia collusion

00:05:14.860 hoax.

00:05:15.440 And I think this is the strategy that should have been taken from day one by the admin.

00:05:19.500 I'm happy to see it now to say, hey, we're just going to release everything.

00:05:22.180 We want to actually get to the bottom of who was Jeffrey Epstein.

00:05:25.480 There are so many questions.

00:05:27.240 And the Tucker Carlson interview that came out yesterday with Daryl Cooper was great.

00:05:32.480 Daryl Cooper has his own podcast on this.

00:05:34.520 Whitney Webb has great reporting on this.

00:05:36.360 But digging into this story, there's so many questions, right?

00:05:39.360 Who is this guy?

00:05:40.540 What were his intelligence ties?

00:05:42.260 Why did Les Wexner give him a house and give him power of attorney?

00:05:46.800 There are so many bizarre instances in Jeffrey Epstein's life, not to mention the sweetheart

00:05:51.640 deal he got, and Acosta giving him this deal and then saying, oh, I had to back off because

00:05:57.240 he belonged to intelligence.

00:05:58.720 So let's answer these questions.

00:06:00.380 And I think this is the right step in the right direction from the admin.

00:06:05.640 No, Avita, I think that's exactly correct.

00:06:07.720 There's so many questions on this, just like JFK, just like RFK, the assassinations, the

00:06:14.580 fact that we've seen so many disclosures, the ODNI reports that have been coming out.

00:06:20.180 I'm really making this searchable for people so they can go in there.

00:06:23.160 I love that the Trump administration has been so transparent on so many of those.

00:06:27.940 Let me ask you this as well.

00:06:29.260 When it comes to young voters, when we saw that big shift, particularly in 2024, when

00:06:35.940 people say, oh, well, Epstein isn't the number one issue for them, is the issue really Epstein

00:06:40.860 or is the issue strike deeper to the central pillar of what people believe as this is elites

00:06:47.080 versus the people kind of situation that's playing out?

00:06:51.820 I think, okay, it's interesting that you asked us about Gen Z because I've been talking about

00:06:56.320 it for a while, there was this TikTok trend.

00:06:58.480 It still happens, but it was really big a couple of years ago where people will be on their

00:07:02.100 phones and they'd be on an embarrassing website or they'd be texting their ex and they'd basically

00:07:09.120 be aware of their FBI agent knowing about it.

00:07:11.780 And they almost had a bizarre relationship with their FBI agent who was just able to see

00:07:18.380 everything that they were doing.

00:07:20.000 Gen Z, it's a joke, but the idea is we know that we're constantly being spied on.

00:07:24.500 There was, when I went to school in Chicago, when Jeffrey Epstein was killed, was in his

00:07:32.280 cell, he died, and there was on the, like, if you look out over my dorm, you'll see in

00:07:38.360 the snow in Chicago, somebody had walked and written in letters, Jeffrey Epstein didn't

00:07:43.760 kill himself.

00:07:44.440 Like, it's kind of a joke, but it's also, I think, a symbol that we know very deeply that 0.97

00:07:48.940 the system is broken, that there's really no trust.

00:07:51.480 And you're right, there has been a lot of disclosure, but I think there really hasn't

00:07:54.940 been any authentic investigation into this, and people across generations realize it.

00:07:59.520 Bill Barr said in his book that his first concern when Jeffrey Epstein died is, well,

00:08:03.800 I want to make sure that people didn't think that he was murdered in his cell.

00:08:07.980 Why is that your first inclination?

00:08:09.740 As somebody in his position, it should be, let's investigate this and see, was he potentially

00:08:15.120 murdered?

00:08:15.460 We don't know, we should be exploring all the options.

00:08:19.320 That clearly did not happen by Bill Barr's own admission.

00:08:22.720 This is what people are asking for.

00:08:25.660 Well, and so how do you think, then, the Gen Z, seeing as this is so viral, seeing as the

00:08:31.080 meme is so big, that it will react to hearing the new shift to go on offense regarding all

00:08:39.500 this?

00:08:39.760 Well, I think a lot of trust has been broken initially.

00:08:43.240 I mean, the response has been bizarre, and you've covered it on your show, Jack, extensively.

00:08:47.140 I think the phase one Epstein files did a lot of damage.

00:08:51.160 I don't know what the strategy was there.

00:08:53.760 I have a feeling that maybe there was no strategy.

00:08:55.860 It was just a blunder on the part of Pam Bondi. 0.88

00:08:58.080 Then you have internal conflict with Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi and potentially Cash Patel.

00:09:04.320 And so there's a lot of confusion and mistrust.

00:09:07.300 But I think if we actually start to see the release of files, if we start to get some

00:09:11.740 clarity on who this person was, that can all be rebuilt really quickly.

00:09:15.660 But I don't think that it should be a surprise to anyone that right now a lot of trust has

00:09:21.380 been broken.

00:09:21.880 If you just look at what was the theme of the Turning Point conference that they just had,

00:09:26.180 where you had thousands of young conservatives who were clearly furious at the lack of disclosure

00:09:31.600 that they had felt promised to them by the president in the last election cycle.

00:09:36.180 Well, I think it's something that a lot of people are asking for, a lot of people were

00:09:41.820 hoping to get.

00:09:43.080 And it looks as though going on offense is exactly where the president's at right now.

00:09:48.940 We're coming up on a quick break.

00:09:50.760 I want to hop out there real quick.

00:09:52.520 By the way, of course, you know, those embarrassing websites, of course, Avita, that would never

00:09:57.060 be anything that you were looking at, you know, personally, of course, as you mentioned,

00:10:00.500 right?

00:10:00.680 That's just for the meme, right?

00:10:02.800 Definitely not, but Jack, I mean, I think that some people will say, oh, well, who cares?

00:10:07.440 Like, they're not spying.

00:10:08.280 I'm not doing anything wrong.

00:10:09.640 Who cares if they're spying on me?

00:10:11.160 And you never know what you can be doing that can be used against you, right?

00:10:15.380 You never know.

00:10:15.860 No, there's a story here about how the expectation of privacy is just, it just doesn't exist for

00:10:21.760 Gen Z. 0.58

00:10:22.060 And it's like a joke and millennials and Gen Y kind of lost it as we got older.

00:10:27.920 But for Gen Z, it's like a joke. 1.00

00:10:29.300 Privacy doesn't exist.

00:10:30.400 And I think that's probably where it's going to go coming forward.

00:10:34.260 We're going to talk about influencers.

00:10:36.600 These are influencers.

00:10:38.540 And they're friends of mine.

00:10:40.860 Jack.

00:10:41.620 So, like, where's Jack?

00:10:43.340 Jack.

00:10:44.300 He's done a great job.

00:10:45.800 Put up ridiculous cases all throughout the country in 2023 and 2024.

00:10:52.960 And by the way, I'll even go a step further.

00:10:55.320 You got Douglas.

00:10:56.120 I thought this was a meme.

00:10:57.000 I just saw this.

00:10:58.000 Douglas Murray is up there in the New York Post last night.

00:11:01.060 He's got a thing.

00:11:02.000 Post 11.45 p.m.

00:11:03.760 It says, how many voters really care about Jeffrey Epstein?

00:11:08.460 How many voters really care about Jeffrey Epstein?

00:11:11.360 There's an actual guy in the New York Post from Douglas Murray.

00:11:16.260 Have you ever been there?

00:11:17.880 Have you been to the Crossing Points?

00:11:19.820 No.

00:11:21.380 When were you last there at all?

00:11:23.100 I've never been.

00:11:25.340 You've never been?

00:11:27.060 Have you ever been to Epstein Island, Douglas? 0.98

00:11:30.160 I mean, this is ridiculous. 0.60

00:11:31.720 It's so... 1.00

00:11:32.240 And they're treating you like fools. 1.00

00:11:34.780 They're treating the American people like fools. 1.00

00:11:37.140 They're treating the MAGA movement like fools. 1.00

00:11:39.040 And let me tell you something. 0.99

00:11:39.800 MAGA hat stays on, all right? 0.83

00:11:42.800 The MAGA hat stays on.

00:11:44.420 The MAGA hat is fully on.

00:11:46.200 We're locked in.

00:11:47.400 We're focused.

00:11:48.280 And we'll see.

00:11:48.980 We'll see, guys.

00:11:49.940 Give us your best shot because we ain't going anywhere.

00:11:56.980 All right, Jack Posobiec back live here.

00:11:59.740 Human Events Daily.

00:12:01.020 Yeah, we have fun.

00:12:01.940 We have fun.

00:12:02.780 I'm not really sure what that New York Post article was about,

00:12:05.860 about telling people they shouldn't care about Jeffrey Epstein.

00:12:10.240 But there we go.

00:12:12.900 Folks, right now, you can go to patriotmobile.com slash POSO.

00:13:10.200 All patriots go to patriotmobile.com slash POSO.

00:13:14.920 I want to get Evita Duffy back in here, conservative commentator. 1.00

00:13:18.960 And, you know, Evita, we're talking about the Epstein situation and, you know, Douglas Murray.

00:13:25.620 And he was telling us, have you ever been, have you even ever been to Epstein Island?

00:13:31.540 And it's just so strange that he would write an article.

00:13:35.100 What is it with these guys?

00:13:36.580 Why do they not want us talking about Jeffrey Epstein?

00:13:39.700 Well, it's a good question, Jack, because, I mean, the argument that he's making is nobody else cares.

00:13:43.740 My question is, why doesn't Douglas Murray care?

00:13:45.960 Like, I am suspect of anyone who is downplaying Jeffrey Epstein,

00:13:50.300 who is pretending like the American people don't care about him.

00:13:53.520 And it's not just the abuse of young girls, which he, of course, engaged in.

00:13:58.060 It's also the massive financial crimes.

00:14:00.400 Nobody knows where his money came from.

00:14:02.180 Like, this is a multi-billionaire who's like a high school dropout or a college dropout.

00:14:07.080 He had a, you know, he was a high school teacher for a little bit.

00:14:10.780 He had impropriety and was fired.

00:14:13.320 I mean, nobody understands how this man made his money.

00:14:16.080 Nobody understands really a lot about him.

00:14:18.700 And clearly he was a criminal and he got away with a lot.

00:14:21.660 And it just, it's very suspect, anybody who would say, I don't care about this,

00:14:26.060 or the American people don't care about this, because obviously we do.

00:14:30.580 Well, yeah, no.

00:14:31.640 So, you know, it's like, no, I've never been there. 0.96

00:14:34.960 But it's just, it's such a ridiculous premise.

00:14:38.000 And by the way, so that, you know, I was going to bring this up, 0.68

00:14:41.740 and I wasn't planning on talking about Douglas Murray today.

00:14:43.940 But, you know, he's someone who I think absolutely beclowned himself on Joe Rogan.

00:14:48.460 But in particular, you know, he was talking about this argument regarding Israel.

00:14:52.940 Now, I've been to Israel, I've been there multiple times.

00:14:55.480 I've been to a lot of places.

00:14:56.940 And, but I don't also think that you have to go somewhere to be able to comment on something.

00:15:02.580 But I've never been to Gaza.

00:15:04.700 Now, Evita, this huge story that came up really after, it was, I'd started seeing it before the show yesterday.

00:15:11.920 After the show, it absolutely exploded.

00:15:13.720 We hear President Trump, Paul Bibi Netanyahu, chewed him out.

00:15:17.340 Pope Leo's out talking about this.

00:15:19.540 Tell us what happened yesterday.

00:15:22.400 This Catholic church in Gaza seems to have been struck.

00:15:27.800 And I see we have a photo of it.

00:15:29.080 I want to get a photo of the damage, guys, if we can get that photo up of what, there it is now.

00:15:34.580 What exactly do we know?

00:15:36.680 And what has been the aftermath?

00:15:38.940 Yeah, so, I mean, some parishioners have died.

00:15:41.380 I believe that the number is three.

00:15:42.900 Others have been injured, including the parish priest there.

00:15:46.080 I mean, what's happened is horrific.

00:15:48.200 And Israel, of course, is a subsidized state.

00:15:50.620 The American people hand over to Israel nearly $4 billion every single year.

00:15:55.200 And that's not even including what we've given them since the war against Hamas broke out.

00:16:01.480 So we give them all this money.

00:16:02.780 And there should be some expectations that come with that.

00:16:04.940 This is why I think it was a great thing that the president called Netanyahu after this attack.

00:16:08.740 Some of those expectations should be, hey, let's not bomb the only Catholic church that exists in Gaza.

00:16:15.080 Maybe let's not attack Christians, a Christian village in the West Bank.

00:16:21.200 This is all something that's happening.

00:16:22.400 Another thing, and Mike Huckabee, who is a massive supporter of Israel, has just brought this up.

00:16:26.820 I think the article came out today.

00:16:27.980 You shared it, Jack, where we're seeing Israel, for some reason, not granting visas to Christian pilgrims.

00:16:33.980 I mean, we are a Christian country.

00:16:36.600 America was founded as a Christian nation.

00:16:38.740 There are very clear, obvious expectations that you're going to protect the Christian community

00:16:43.360 and welcome Israel, the Holy Land, to Christians as the state of Israel,

00:16:47.460 who receives billions and billions of dollars from the Christian American people.

00:16:51.620 And I'm really happy that President Trump called him up and reasserted that expectation

00:16:56.140 that very clearly should be there for Israel.

00:17:00.220 Well, and this is something, too, where, look, I went viral last month, one month ago,

00:17:06.760 saying these Middle Eastern wars always inevitably lead to dead Christians.

00:17:11.760 It always seems to be something that turns out one side or the other, whether it's a Christian village

00:17:18.720 or whether it's a strike like this or another. 0.87

00:17:21.600 It always seems to end in dead Christians. 0.99

00:17:24.360 And this is something why I certainly have been calling for a lot of skepticism, a lot of restraint,

00:17:30.660 when it comes to these various activities that the United States always seems to be in back of

00:17:37.200 or in support of in the Middle East.

00:17:40.680 And, of course, neocons lost their mind on me when I said that and were screaming at it.

00:17:45.260 The Soviet doesn't know he's talking about us. 0.66

00:17:46.580 Well, here you go.

00:17:47.860 One Catholic church in Gaza, it gets bombed.

00:17:50.320 The parishioners killed.

00:17:51.820 And we're struggling for answers.

00:17:53.980 And Cardinal Pizzabala, by the way, one of the individuals who was presumably or were told reportedly in the running

00:18:00.980 when we were up there at the conclave for the pope, he is even outspoken on this.

00:18:07.580 Evita, we've got to run.

00:18:08.640 Final word to you.

00:18:09.680 We've got one minute left.

00:18:11.380 I mean, we already have.

00:18:12.220 We already know that Muslims have decimated Christian communities all across the Middle East. 1.00

00:18:17.540 We don't need it to be happening from the state of Israel, who, again, is funded by the Christian American people. 0.95

00:18:21.760 And you're right, Jack.

00:18:22.560 There is a pattern here.

00:18:23.540 Every time that we get involved in some sort of conflict in the Middle East, Christian communities are decimated.

00:18:29.000 It's happening in Gaza.

00:18:29.960 It's happening in Syria.

00:18:31.180 It's happened in Afghanistan and Iraq.

00:18:32.680 And it will continue to happen if we don't radically change course foreign policy-wise.

00:18:37.900 It's as simple as that.

00:18:38.840 Evita Duffy, where can people follow you?

00:18:41.260 Evita Duffy underscore one on X and on Instagram.

00:18:43.740 Thanks for having me, Jack.

00:18:45.360 Of course.

00:18:45.940 And, Evita, can you respond, by the way, to these rumors that you went to a lumberjack competition last night?

00:18:50.920 I did go to a lumberjack competition.

00:18:53.740 The lumberjack world championships, you can watch it on ESPN3, I think.

00:18:57.840 But it's a great time.

00:18:59.180 Log rolling, speed climbing, boom running, chopping, sawing.

00:19:02.500 So, yes, I was there live.

00:19:03.840 There is Jack.

00:19:06.240 Where is Jack?

00:19:08.520 Where is he?

00:19:09.820 Jack, I want to see you.

00:19:11.280 Great job, Jack.

00:19:14.900 Thank you.

00:19:15.680 What a job you do.

00:19:17.100 You know, we have an incredible thing.

00:19:18.500 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad.

00:19:20.780 But we have guys.

00:19:22.180 And these are the guys who should be getting Pulisic.

00:19:32.000 Folks, I'm going to ask you a question.

00:19:33.140 Did you know that in the last six weeks, 86 million AT&T users have their name, address, and social security numbers leaked?

00:19:41.520 Or that the CCP is harvesting massive volumes of Americans' personal data to train DeepSeq and other AI systems?

00:21:04.200 Very, very important.

00:21:05.580 Now, folks, I got to get on our next guest, Mike Lindell.

00:21:09.620 You know him as the CEO of MyPill.

00:21:11.900 Usually we just have him on to walk through deals, to tell you what's going on, the great summer savings.

00:21:17.760 But, Mike, I got to ask you, man, this Stephen Colbert news, we saw, I was heartbroken.

00:21:25.680 My wife, my children, we said, we held our hands and we said prayers for the guy.

00:21:30.880 I got to ask you, are you doing okay?

00:21:33.420 What is your reaction to this heartbreaking news that Stephen Colbert's show has been canceled?

00:21:37.920 Well, funny you say that, Jack.

00:21:40.280 I just did my whole Lindell show, my Mike Lindell show on Lindell TV.

00:21:44.400 It was all about Stephen Colbert and the late night hosts.

00:21:48.220 Of the late night hosts, by the way, if you haven't heard, Stephen Colbert is canceled by CBS.

00:21:54.140 It's over.

00:21:55.600 The end is near.

00:21:56.920 And of all the, you know, back in the day, everybody, you talk about late night hosts.

00:22:02.240 I knew Jay Leno and, you know, I know Jay Leno and stuff. 0.99

00:22:04.580 And back then it was a, they would bash political things, no matter who was doing something stupid. 0.96

00:22:08.740 They would just make comedy out of it, but it wasn't filled with heat and just one-sided. 0.96

00:22:13.760 Of all the late night hosts, Stephen Colbert, I believe, was filled with so much heat.

00:22:19.720 And that includes not just Donald Trump, includes against me, Jack, you, anyone that maybe didn't have, for me, it was speaking out about the 2020 election and getting rid of the voting machine.

00:22:32.880 But I'll tell you, you know, I ended my show and I said, I'm really, I'm going to pray for Stephen Colbert because no one should have that much hate inside him.

00:22:43.700 And like you and I were talking, Jack, he actually, you can tell he feels bad.

00:22:47.620 He's getting canceled.

00:22:49.000 And I, you know, I'm not here.

00:22:50.740 My wife said, no, don't go on and be, and be, be humble.

00:22:54.580 And I am going to try and be humble because my pillow that he attacked relentlessly and tried to destroy my pillow and myself, and even have my employees in one of his little skits to defame them and go after them.

00:23:07.780 We're here by the grace of God, by God's grace that we've gotten through.

00:23:12.160 And I feel bad for him in the fact of, of who he is and what he has inside him, because it's got to be so miserable, Jack.

00:23:20.720 And, um, um, am I happy to see him go?

00:23:24.520 Absolutely.

00:23:25.200 Because I tell you, be that being put out every night, not just him, but the other hosts, your Jimmy Kimballs of the world.

00:23:31.960 And, and, um, to be put this stuff out, what it does, it brainwashes people over here or, you know, they, you know, they, that's all you're seeing.

00:23:41.580 And you combine that with the fake news out there.

00:23:43.880 And it's just horrible.

00:23:45.280 That's why we're in such a better place now, uh, years later now, four and a half years later,

00:23:50.140 because our voices have gotten so much bigger.

00:23:52.740 Even our, our friends that are on the left or people that were on the left, even family members now are seeing different things from different platforms.

00:24:01.060 Now, uh, social media platforms and all these things that have sprung up because, uh, hearing that one side.

00:24:07.700 And then it's really hard, Jack, when you see, when you see what we've went through for Donald Trump brought us to a great place in December of 2019, everybody's lives had improved the highest consumer confidence in history.

00:24:21.260 Then they shoved us the China, the China virus at us and the, and then the stolen election of 2020. 0.95

00:24:27.040 And then we watched four years, our country just get destroyed and our lives and everybody's lives.

00:24:33.020 I don't care if you were in the street all the way to four forkers, your lives that went down, you're saying, Hey, this is not good. 1.00

00:24:38.780 In a few short months here, all the, everybody has started to improve and you see it and you can't deny that.

00:24:45.480 I really think CBS, it's not funny anymore to anybody, the stuff that he was putting out because people are going, well, wait a minute, he's doing good things.

00:24:53.320 These things are getting done.

00:24:54.500 And, you know, I mean, it's, uh, no, this is, uh, no, it's just disgusting what they've done and what he's done.

00:25:01.640 No, it is disgusting.

00:25:02.820 But, but you mentioned, you mentioned that four years, I want to do something because Mike, the crack team here at human events daily, we, we've gone back into the archives and we've actually dug up something that I believe is your first ever table news appearance.

00:25:23.020 All the way back in 2012, 13 years ago.

00:25:28.980 And I want people to see this from play in full, it's about a minute and a half.

00:25:33.040 And I want people to see that Mike Lindell has not changed a single word of what he says today to what he was saying in his very first appearance.

00:25:44.420 Guys, let's play it.

00:25:45.640 I do all my own manufacturing.

00:25:47.080 We went from 40 employees to 360 in the last three months.

00:25:50.800 Who do you hire now, Bernie?

00:25:51.860 Tony, what was that?

00:25:53.380 What, the kinds of people you hire?

00:25:55.580 We hire every, we put every, every, you know, people that are, have, that have problems.

00:25:59.980 I got a foundation now that I used to be an addict too, a drug addict.

00:26:03.700 What kind of drugs?

00:26:04.600 Crack cocaine.

00:26:05.460 Oh, crack, huh?

00:26:06.600 Crack, yeah.

00:26:07.220 So I've got a, you know, I stopped doing cocaine before they invented crack.

00:26:10.140 Yeah, it's a, it's a two, it's two different drugs.

00:26:12.380 Cocaine is way different than crack.

00:26:13.960 Yeah, I know.

00:26:14.380 You change, you change the, you change the molecular structure or whatever.

00:26:17.560 Right.

00:26:17.760 And my foundation is actually going to help you on reachable, you know, to reach out.

00:26:21.840 So you can say you get the addicts and so on to make your pillows.

00:26:24.040 Yeah, we have the ones that, you know, we got, you know, addicts, we'll hire, you know, we hire people to help them too,

00:26:30.240 to give them jobs and to get them, you know, back on their feet.

00:26:33.400 And everyone in my company has a pillow, so they believe in the product, they believe where we're going.

00:26:39.140 And what a great story.

00:26:40.700 Yeah, and now we're going to buy up, I want to start buying the cotton fields because China's buying our cotton fields and taking our cotton from us. 0.61

00:26:46.940 Do you, do you have a new babe yet or no?

00:26:49.880 No, I don't.

00:26:50.500 Oh, you don't.

00:26:50.900 No, you can, I'm eligible.

00:26:53.240 I wouldn't think he'd have a problem at this point.

00:26:57.200 Well, you're a fascinating guy.

00:26:59.260 It's a great story.

00:27:00.240 Good for you.

00:27:01.080 Yeah, it's been fun.

00:27:02.360 And God bless you.

00:27:03.220 Continue good luck and all that.

00:27:04.580 I know you're doing good stuff.

00:27:06.100 Yeah.

00:27:06.680 Plus the pillow works.

00:27:07.840 So what are you going to do?

00:27:08.380 Yeah, you know, it's helping so many people and it really does, like you say, creates America.

00:27:12.120 I was talking to a couple of your guys back that actually got killed.

00:27:14.380 Oh, no, no, no, believe me, I wouldn't.

00:27:17.300 I've been around a long time.

00:27:18.360 I don't do anything I don't want to do.

00:27:19.820 Great.

00:27:20.300 All right, man, thank you.

00:27:21.320 Michael Lindell, my pillow.

00:27:22.840 12 minutes now until the hour.

00:27:27.920 Now, Mike, that's an incredible, the great Don Imus, by the way, Imus in the morning, for folks who don't know.

00:27:33.580 Not only is that an incredible clip, you hit every single piece of what you usually talk about, the recovery, the systems.

00:27:42.320 But you even went off on China buying up the farmland.

00:27:46.160 That's right.

00:27:47.400 And yes, everybody, China helped us.

00:27:50.000 They're the ones behind.

00:27:51.000 When people say, Jack, who stole the 2020 election and who's behind all this stuff?

00:27:55.360 It's China, or the CCP, the Uniparty, the deep state globalists.

00:28:01.020 I haven't changed.

00:28:02.260 And you're right.

00:28:03.020 I haven't changed from back then.

00:28:04.920 Back then, I seen a problem.

00:28:07.000 There was a problem back then.

00:28:08.720 I was buying U.S. cotton.

00:28:11.480 I'm going, why is China getting all this stuff?

00:28:14.160 And I brought it up.

00:28:16.540 And so, you know, just like I am now, I think that's why, Jack,

00:28:19.960 I think that's why the, when they started attacking me, because I went all in for the elections and the president,

00:28:26.700 I didn't change.

00:28:27.760 I've never changed.

00:28:28.700 I'm as transparent.

00:28:30.040 That's why I think Imus and I got along so good.

00:28:32.500 He was, he was my first person, first host I ever dealt with.

00:28:36.080 And he took me under his wing.

00:28:38.200 We became very good friends.

00:28:39.660 And, and he just like the fact, I just put it out there and I haven't changed.

00:28:44.340 I didn't change when the, when the people started attacking me and the, and getting canceled,

00:28:49.520 the box stores getting sued by the machine companies and all this stuff.

00:28:53.360 I didn't change.

00:28:54.700 They did.

00:28:55.560 And I've said it on my show.

00:28:57.440 Why wouldn't you ask me these late night hosts?

00:29:00.040 Why wouldn't you say, Hey, come on our show and show us what you have.

00:29:03.880 Tell us what you have.

00:29:05.080 And, you know, Jack, the other, just the other day, when we, my pillow won the big lawsuit in Colorado,

00:29:10.300 I, I got out there and I questioned these, these outlets, these news outlets.

00:29:14.800 I said, you guys, you know, here's, I've lived the American dream on steroids,

00:29:18.960 going from a crack addict to building this huge company with made in the USA.

00:29:23.780 And you can't do that anywhere else.

00:29:25.720 It's been going from here to here, our freedoms we have in this country.

00:29:28.940 And I said to those news catchers, why do you continue to attack my pillow and me

00:29:34.380 when you should be holding these boating machine companies accountable?

00:29:38.380 I said, what is your last name?

00:29:39.940 And I said, one of the last names of the machine.

00:29:41.900 I don't get it, Jack.

00:29:43.120 I don't get it.

00:29:44.300 Why in these late night hosts, I don't care if they're on the left.

00:29:48.120 Why would they attack a company like Stephen Colbert?

00:29:50.720 Keep going after my pillow because why they want Mike Lindell and they want us all to shut

00:29:55.880 up and they don't want to see that they, that this is a country for the people by the people

00:30:00.800 and, um, one nation under God.

00:30:04.080 No, I couldn't agree more.

00:30:05.460 Mike, just on the, the China and the, just on the farmland situation, because obviously

00:30:10.620 you're someone as a retailer, uh, you're going to cotton, you obviously moved over, uh, with,

00:30:17.040 with ESA, but you know, you're in the industry.

00:30:19.360 Tell us what were you seeing China doing then?

00:30:22.340 And has the situation as we, it seems, has it gotten progressively worse since in the

00:30:27.480 decade plus?

00:30:28.880 Yeah, absolutely.

00:30:29.940 And I, you know, our cotton here in the U S I buy that too.

00:30:32.480 We have some Pima here and other stuff.

00:30:34.280 Certain things are better to make with certain items.

00:30:36.720 The Giza cotton is the best sheets in the world.

00:30:39.380 Um, my towels are made with Southern cotton.

00:30:41.640 My pillows are made with Supima cotton from California.

00:30:44.820 So we buy all these, we will, we know cotton real good, Jack and China buying farms, buying 0.97

00:30:51.120 the cotton, you know, it wasn't just cotton fields.

00:30:53.500 As you know, they were buying other stuff.

00:30:55.360 I just happened to know the cotton because I was in that, I'm in that space.

00:30:59.220 And, but then you, you know, you have good things going on where that's getting stopped.

00:31:04.340 I think it's, uh, Arkansas, where they're one of the first states to stop them from buying

00:31:09.120 all this, or maybe even get buying it back from them.

00:31:11.640 But it was a problem.

00:31:12.860 This is like, I couldn't believe you dug that up 2012.

00:31:15.900 It was really, as I came into, I always look at every part of the industry I'm in and going,

00:31:21.620 okay, what, there's a problem here.

00:31:23.760 You know, I mean, if they do this, if this continues on, I'm going to be answering everything

00:31:28.340 to China and I was trying to get away from everything made in China, you know, and, and, 1.00

00:31:33.660 um, and this like problems we have now.

00:31:36.140 And I, you know, I throw, I'll throw Canada into the next day Canada right now, but everybody

00:31:41.020 has tariffed, uh, all bedding products.

00:31:43.580 So this tariff's been since the spring, you know, um, all bedding products, you know,

00:31:48.380 is that a direct attack on my pillow?

00:31:50.660 I don't know.

00:31:51.620 I mean, Trudeau did this back then.

00:31:53.400 And he told me if I make a plant, uh, he'll quit tariffing. 0.98

00:31:56.640 He's a liar.

00:31:57.260 He didn't, he didn't do it. 1.00

00:31:58.340 So this stuff goes on and on, but China's the worst. 1.00

00:32:02.140 And we have to, we have to make moves now, not just with our election platforms, but

00:32:07.900 as you know, Jack, with our farmland, with everything, everything they've come in here

00:32:12.940 to take from us or to take over.

00:32:15.140 Like we're living inside a big Trojan horse, if you ask me.

00:32:19.400 No, that's, that's absolutely clear.

00:32:21.060 By the way, we do have a box up.

00:32:22.540 Uh, president Trump is going to be signing this genius act into, well, make it the genius,

00:32:28.140 Bill, very soon.

00:32:29.480 And, uh, we know that the room is filling up real America's voice.

00:32:33.260 We'll be taking that live when it happens.

00:32:35.880 We could see J.D. Vance coming in there.

00:32:38.420 I believe that's Speaker Johnson who's coming in.

00:32:41.220 So it looks like, looks like President Trump is going to be, people are standing.

00:32:44.320 So it looks like he'll be coming in very, very shortly.

00:32:47.080 I think I see Secretary of State Rubio, number of senators, looks like Senator Moreno, who

00:32:51.620 was just on the program.

00:32:52.760 But Mike, you know, just, just in the last minute and a half before this, this really

00:32:56.820 gets off, walk us through, you know, walk us through how all of this has led to, uh,

00:33:02.400 you know, just a resurgence for MyPillow and the great savings you have for us this summer.

00:33:08.300 Right.

00:33:08.820 You guys, and the, you know, MyPillow winning that big lawsuit.

00:33:11.740 And, uh, the first one, we took it all the way to jury trial against these machine companies.

00:33:16.300 MyPillow won, a hundred percent vindicated.

00:33:18.540 That was a big breakthrough for us.

00:33:21.020 And MyPillow, they've done everything to destroy myself and my employee owned company.

00:33:25.380 You guys have helped get us through because we had a lot of inventory that were earmarked

00:33:30.280 for the box stores.

00:33:31.460 One of them was our Giza dream bed sheets, the president's favorite product of MyPillow,

00:34:55.200 Right back.

00:35:09.800 Thank you.

00:35:39.800 Yeah, we worked hard.

00:36:04.820 It's a very important act.

00:36:06.640 The Genius Act.

00:36:08.100 They named it after me.

00:36:09.960 You know what I'm doing?

00:36:13.600 This is a hell of an act.

00:36:15.880 Uh, you know, I did something very unusual.

00:36:18.960 I said, this has been something that's been a lot of people thought it was impossible.

00:36:23.300 Some of the things that have been done.

00:36:25.400 And, of course, the great big, you know, I hear the word great, the great big beautiful bill.

00:36:29.960 That was something that nobody thought possible.

00:36:32.060 They thought it would be in anywhere from seven to maybe three.

00:36:36.440 I'll go the opposite direction.

00:36:37.900 But three to seven different bills.

00:36:40.820 And we said, uh, let's just put it in one.

00:36:43.400 Because this way there's something for everyone.

00:36:45.100 And there really is.

00:36:45.900 There's a lot of things for everyone.

00:36:47.920 And when we get the word out how great that is for, uh, every single person in this country,

00:36:54.340 virtually.

00:36:55.680 And all they have is a soundbite. 0.95

00:36:57.660 Death.

00:36:58.420 You know what their soundbite is?

00:36:59.560 Death. 0.91

00:37:00.540 Aren't they nice, death? 1.00

00:37:01.800 They are the most incompetent people. 1.00

00:37:03.640 They've lost their confidence. 0.98

00:37:05.720 They've lost everything, if you think about it.

00:37:08.420 But Jasmine Crockett is on her way.

00:37:11.560 She's on her way.

00:37:13.860 She's the new star of the Democrat Party, Jasmine Crockett.

00:37:17.740 They're in big trouble.

00:37:18.960 But I have to tell you, that was great.

00:37:20.900 And this was great.

00:37:21.600 And I am so tired of making phone calls at 2, 3, 4 o'clock in the morning.

00:37:27.420 Getting calls from our great speaker.

00:37:29.940 Sir, we have 12 hard notes.

00:37:32.320 I say, Mike, Mike, it's 2 o'clock in the morning.

00:37:37.300 We have 12 hard notes.

00:37:38.880 The good news is I call up.

00:37:41.080 Hello, Jim, how are you?

00:37:42.220 Sir, you have my vote.

00:37:44.000 Sir, you have my vote.

00:37:45.600 I really just, they just want a little love.

00:37:48.680 Unfortunately, it's always the same.

00:37:49.920 It's always the same 12 people.

00:37:54.540 It's 5, 7 people.

00:37:55.940 It's 12.

00:38:03.020 I actually said to John Thuner, and I said to Mike, I said, listen, I want to have a party.

00:38:09.280 But not to those people that I have to speak to endlessly every time.

00:38:14.900 And they're wonderful because they always seem to come through other than a couple.

00:38:19.120 Rand Paul, Jr., from the Congress.

00:38:21.660 And Rand Paul from, you know, other than a few people.

00:38:24.960 But they said, I want to have them over.

00:38:27.620 We're going to have a party.

00:38:28.520 For everybody in Congress, everyone in Congress, except 12.

00:38:35.140 We're going to have, and Mike is definitely, Tom, I'll tell you what, Tom is definitely coming.

00:38:39.280 The whole room, where are those 12 people?

00:38:41.560 They're the only people out.

00:38:43.140 And I would say, of the 53 senators, 48.

00:38:50.060 We're going to have 48 in here.

00:38:51.460 You won't even have to come to that one.

00:38:53.580 But these are the greatest people because they always vote yes, and we don't have to go crazy.

00:38:59.360 You trust us.

00:39:00.120 We trust you.

00:39:01.540 That has been a very special look for people.

00:39:03.380 We really do.

00:39:03.920 I mean, 96% phenomenal and 4% extremely difficult.

00:39:11.820 But they get there, most of them.

00:39:13.620 Not all of them.

00:39:14.680 Those are the ones who really don't like.

00:39:17.100 But I want to thank you all for being here.

00:39:18.760 This is really a big day.

00:39:20.080 This afternoon, we take a giant step to cement American dominance of global finance and crypto

00:39:26.880 technology as we sign the Landmark Genius Act into law.

00:39:32.860 So congratulations to everybody.

00:39:34.680 It's a big deal.

00:39:35.660 They've come a long way since the Biden administration when they had no idea what you were all talking

00:39:42.540 about, and half of you were under arrest for no reason.

00:39:46.580 And we want to have it not China.

00:39:52.780 And we had a little problem with Japan on trade, but he was my ambassador to Japan, and I went

00:39:59.840 to Japan, and he is speaking fluently Japanese.

00:40:03.940 I said, did you learn it as a child?

00:40:06.080 No, no.

00:40:06.480 I just learned it over the last four or five months.

00:40:09.320 I said, you learned Japanese.

00:40:10.760 Maybe the single hardest language to learn.

00:40:13.700 It's actually breathing.

00:40:15.500 Rather than...

00:40:16.400 It's breathing.

00:40:17.680 I'm not going to imitate it because we'll end up with a big story, and I don't want that.

00:40:22.840 But he spoke totally fluent Japanese.

00:40:26.080 I said, that's very impressive.

00:40:28.220 And he was introducing me to Mr. Honda.

00:40:31.340 I said, oh, are you in the car business?

00:40:33.920 He goes, yes.

00:40:34.560 I said, you're a very rich man.

00:40:36.100 And then he said, Mr. Toyota, right?

00:40:39.320 Toyota.

00:40:40.560 And I said, what business are you in?

00:40:43.420 Let me guess.

00:40:44.400 He said, cars.

00:40:46.620 He was my interpreter, and I was so impressed.

00:40:49.920 And I was getting ready to leave.

00:40:51.440 He said, sir, I'd like to run for the United States Senate.

00:40:54.100 I said, where are you from?

00:40:56.520 He said, Tennessee.

00:40:57.700 I said, well, I love Tennessee, but do they know you there?

00:41:01.320 No, but if you endorse me, I'll win, right?

00:41:03.840 And I endorsed him, and he took a 48-point lead.

00:41:07.500 And they didn't know who the hell he was.

00:41:09.500 And he's turned out to be a great senator.

00:41:12.680 And now they all know who you are.

00:41:14.800 So you are.

00:41:15.780 You're fantastic.

00:41:16.760 And we thank you.

00:41:17.760 And just the fact that you're doing this and you understand this is a complicated world,

00:41:22.140 and you understand it, Bill.

00:41:23.820 So you've been great.

00:41:24.700 Thank you very much.

00:41:26.320 We're also pleased to be joined by our great vice president, J.D. Vance.

00:41:31.180 J.D., thank you very much.

00:41:33.180 Good job.

00:41:38.600 And he's been up speaking late at night on the phone.

00:41:41.620 I said, J.D., how about you take three or four of these people, please?

00:41:44.940 Because three or four I cannot speak to.

00:41:46.560 I just can't.

00:41:47.760 And he'd take them, and he'd come through.

00:41:49.240 Right, J.D.?

00:41:50.220 Also, Speaker Mike Johnson.

00:41:54.260 He is unbelievable.

00:41:55.880 He's an unbelievable, I mean, if you go by what we're doing, if you keep up this pace,

00:42:03.080 you can't keep it up for another 200 days.

00:42:07.740 But I will tell you this.

00:42:08.660 If you keep up this pace for another week, you go down as the greatest Speaker in the House in history.

00:42:13.740 So, one more word.

00:42:16.060 One more word.

00:42:17.600 Who needs Tip O'Neill?

00:42:19.220 Who needs Tip O'Neill?

00:42:20.760 He's better looking than Tip O'Neill, too.

00:42:23.480 But, no, he's been going at a fervent pace.

00:42:27.880 Would you say that's right? 1.00

00:42:28.860 Your wife probably says, you are crazy. 0.99

00:42:32.080 You've been aging beautifully in front. 0.97

00:42:35.420 He's an amazing, actually, he's an amazing Speaker, a great leader, and everybody likes him and respects him.

00:42:41.000 And that's why we're, with a very small majority, like three, we had a time when we were one.

00:42:47.920 Remember?

00:42:48.540 We said we're one heart attack away from losing the House.

00:42:52.920 And we won a couple of seats and a couple of other.

00:42:55.120 Now we have seven, maybe.

00:42:57.400 Maybe if we're lucky, seven.

00:42:59.360 But we win with, nobody's ever done, I don't think anyone's ever done this before, to win with those small.

00:43:04.940 We had a little help from Tom, too, right?

00:43:06.980 And a lot of other people.

00:43:08.220 I want to introduce, also, Secretary Howard Lutnick, who's been fantastic.

00:43:13.800 You have done a great job, Howard.

00:43:19.800 We've got trade deals coming out of our ears, right?

00:43:22.800 We've got so many trade deals.

00:43:24.480 They're all calling so many.

00:43:25.940 And I really mean this, too.

00:43:27.760 It's like, how do you deal with so many?

00:43:30.980 But, you know, I always say, when we send out the paper, that was a deal.

00:43:34.120 They don't want to, the fake news doesn't want to hear that.

00:43:36.500 When I send out the paper that you're paying 35 or 40 percent tariff, that's a deal.

00:43:41.400 Then they'll call and see if they can make a little bit different kind of a deal, like opening up their country to trade.

00:43:46.400 In some cases, they've never been opened.

00:43:48.780 But we're doing well.

00:43:50.020 And we have a couple of big ones to announce pretty soon, right?

00:43:52.600 Could almost do it today.

00:43:54.080 Maybe we'll say it.

00:43:55.080 Maybe later on we'll do it.

00:43:56.340 But Senator Bernie Marino, a great victory.

00:44:00.600 Bernie had great victory.

00:44:03.400 A great victory.

00:44:05.500 That was one of the truly tough races.

00:44:07.820 A lot of people weren't sure anybody could win that seat.

00:44:11.360 And you won it in easy fashion, right?

00:44:14.140 We won it together when you think of it.

00:44:16.400 But you won it in easy fashion.

00:44:18.060 You did a great job.

00:44:19.120 Great guy.

00:44:20.060 House Majority Whip.

00:44:21.580 This is a great leader, Tom Emmer, a great politician and leader.

00:44:28.060 Really good.

00:44:30.380 And I like his wife even better.

00:44:32.260 His wife is, she's the boss. 1.00

00:44:35.280 But she's, you are married to a fantastic woman, huh?

00:44:39.080 And he knows that.

00:44:40.400 And he likes hearing it.

00:44:41.860 Some people don't, you know.

00:44:43.080 They say, sir, could you please stop saying that my wife is better than me, sir?

00:44:48.320 Those are guys that don't usually end up with a good marriage, you know.

00:44:51.780 He's got a great marriage.

00:44:53.880 So, thank you, Tom.

00:44:54.880 You really are a fantastic leader and representative.

00:44:58.540 And Representatives Troy Downing.

00:45:01.560 French Hill.

00:45:02.160 Where's French Hill?

00:45:03.020 Where is French?

00:45:03.700 You have been so great.

00:45:06.520 Thank you, French.

00:45:08.780 I spoke to him a little late.

00:45:10.640 He was walking down the hall.

00:45:12.040 I said, French.

00:45:12.700 He said, I'm there, sir.

00:45:13.880 You are great.

00:45:14.560 Great, great guy.

00:45:16.080 Everyone respects you, French.

00:45:17.420 You know that.

00:45:19.080 Bill Heisinger.

00:45:20.100 Bill, thank you very much.

00:45:21.860 Thank you very much.

00:45:23.000 Good job.

00:45:25.120 Dan Muser.

00:45:26.160 I thought he was going to become the next governor of Pennsylvania, but he likes Congress better,

00:45:30.080 I guess, huh?

00:45:31.180 So, but I think you're terrific.

00:45:33.460 And, you know, I would have always been behind you.

00:45:35.940 That I can tell you.

00:45:36.880 Tim Moore.

00:45:39.340 Tim.

00:45:39.840 Thank you, Tim.

00:45:40.520 John Rose.

00:45:43.320 John.

00:45:44.060 Hi, John.

00:45:44.880 Thanks.

00:45:45.560 Good job.

00:45:47.440 Brian Stile.

00:45:49.040 Brian Stile.

00:45:50.200 Still young.

00:45:52.020 Still nice and young.

00:45:53.300 That's good.

00:45:54.500 G.T.

00:45:54.980 G.T. Thompson.

00:45:56.000 G.T.

00:45:57.760 Thank you.

00:45:59.620 Andy Barr.

00:46:00.660 Good friend of all of ours.

00:46:02.020 Thank you, Andy.

00:46:04.940 Monica D. La Cruz.

00:46:07.120 Monica.

00:46:07.700 She's here someplace.

00:46:09.360 Thank you, Monica.

00:46:10.400 Thank you, Monica.

00:46:13.360 Mike Haradopoulos.

00:46:15.640 Mike.

00:46:16.120 Thank you, Mike.

00:46:17.320 Look good.

00:46:17.960 Mike Lawler.

00:46:20.720 Mr. Salt.

00:46:25.820 Well, it should guarantee your district.

00:46:28.440 I mean, you worked hard for New York, right?

00:46:31.340 And you're on television.

00:46:32.540 I'm on television.

00:46:33.460 So this should be good for a couple of points.

00:46:35.260 But without you and your couple of friends from New York,

00:46:39.520 that wouldn't have happened.

00:46:40.400 That was not easy, right?

00:46:41.900 Congratulations.

00:46:42.780 Great job.

00:46:44.320 Anna Paulina Luna.

00:46:45.660 Anna, who is so great.

00:46:48.440 I don't even if she's here or not here.

00:46:50.520 I want to tell you that she has been so great

00:46:52.760 and worked so hard to make sure we got it approved.

00:46:56.440 Ralph Norman.

00:46:57.420 Ralph?

00:46:58.940 Ralph?

00:46:59.500 What happened to Ralph?

00:47:01.680 Nick Begich.

00:47:03.600 Nick?

00:47:04.060 Thank you, Nick.

00:47:04.980 Good job.

00:47:06.780 Good job.

00:47:08.060 Good votes.

00:47:09.040 I just saw a great poll on you, huh?

00:47:11.300 Very good.

00:47:12.600 Congratulations, Nick.

00:47:13.460 Andy Ogles.

00:47:15.120 Andy?

00:47:16.240 Who's a terrific friend.

00:47:17.420 Beth Van Dyne.

00:47:19.580 Beth?

00:47:20.140 Thank you, Beth.

00:47:21.080 Great job.

00:47:21.880 Thank you.

00:47:22.880 Thank you very much for the great support.

00:47:25.640 Roger Williams, a great baseball player,

00:47:28.440 who also had to take a bullet, unfortunately.

00:47:31.380 But he is a great guy.

00:47:33.120 He was involved in that whole catastrophe.

00:47:35.340 But he's fantastic and has been from day one,

00:47:38.140 along with a lot of other people that I won't call out

00:47:40.420 because I have no idea where the hell you are.

00:47:42.240 I think I saw Jason here somewhere.

00:47:44.180 Where's Jason?

00:47:44.620 Oh, it's lucky I called him.

00:47:47.580 Ooh, it's lucky.

00:47:50.140 They didn't put your name because I invited you at the last moment, right?

00:47:53.100 He was over there doing some business in the White House.

00:47:56.040 But you've been incredible in your position.

00:47:58.820 Nobody knows more about taxes and finance than you do,

00:48:02.000 so we appreciate it, right?

00:48:03.220 Is that true, Howard?

00:48:04.480 It's true.

00:48:05.140 Thanks, Jason.

00:48:05.780 Great job.

00:48:06.580 And you'll help out with that other matter.

00:48:08.480 You make him so strong and powerful, right?

00:48:11.440 Along with Deputy Secretary of Treasury Michael Falkander.

00:48:15.600 Where's Michael?

00:48:16.660 Good, Michael.

00:48:17.440 How are you?

00:48:18.180 Good.

00:48:19.060 You'll help out over there, okay?

00:48:20.740 And Ambassador Ken Howery, Ambassador.

00:48:25.700 Thank you, Ken.

00:48:26.840 Great job, Ken.

00:48:29.160 I also want to recognize some of the countless industry leaders here today,

00:48:33.960 including Brian Armstrong of Coinbase.

00:48:37.200 You've done a good job, Brian.

00:48:40.440 That's a big deal.

00:48:42.420 Dave Ripley of Kraken.

00:48:44.800 Thank you, Dave.

00:48:48.080 Jeremy Allaire of Circle.

00:48:52.380 It was a big day.

00:48:54.460 Good job.

00:48:56.240 Good job, Jeremy.

00:48:58.560 Paolo Ardino of Tether.

00:49:02.620 Paolo, thank you, Paolo.

00:49:04.160 Ryan McInerney of Visa.

00:49:08.200 That's a good company.

00:49:10.560 Thank you.

00:49:12.760 Chris Pavlovsky of Rumble.

00:49:16.080 Chris?

00:49:16.580 Chris?

00:49:17.340 What happened to your location, Chris?

00:49:20.000 You're always a front row guy.

00:49:21.840 You're just being nice today, I think.

00:49:23.680 How's Rumble doing?

00:49:24.740 Good?

00:49:26.080 Good.

00:49:26.860 If Rumble's doing good, that means Truth is doing good.

00:49:30.000 Truth.

00:49:31.120 That's great.

00:49:31.800 You're doing a great job.

00:49:32.720 Thank you, Chris, very much.

00:49:34.160 Vlad Teneff of Robin Hood.

00:49:39.200 Vlad, thank you, Vlad.

00:49:40.540 Thank you, Vlad.

00:49:41.500 Good.

00:49:43.820 Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss.

00:49:47.120 These are two smart, handsome guys.

00:49:49.960 They got the whole package.

00:49:51.160 They're of Gemini, but they have the whole package.

00:49:55.040 They have a lot of things, actually, but Gemini's just the one for today, right?

00:49:58.860 They've got the look.

00:50:00.680 They've got the genius.

00:50:03.180 They've got plenty of cash.

00:50:04.760 And it's great that you're on our side.

00:50:06.460 You guys are great.

00:50:07.360 I can never tell them apart.

00:50:09.000 But their mother can.

00:50:09.920 And I ask, can your mother tell you apart?

00:50:12.220 And the answer is yes.

00:50:13.540 Easily or is it tough for her?

00:50:14.960 Easy.

00:50:15.680 Easy.

00:50:16.300 I think.

00:50:17.180 Good.

00:50:17.780 You guys have been great.

00:50:19.400 Thank you very much.

00:50:20.240 Great to be with you.

00:50:21.080 Let me say, the entire crypto community, for years, you were mocked and dismissed and counted

00:50:28.700 out.

00:50:29.140 You were counted out as little as a year and a half ago.

00:50:32.880 But this signing is a massive validation.

00:50:35.460 And even before this signing, over the last year, year and a half, I think your stuff has

00:50:39.720 gone up more than any stock, or just about more.

00:50:42.120 A couple of stocks that were pretty good, I will say.

00:50:44.740 But you have certainly, as an industry, gone up more than anybody.

00:50:48.300 Nobody's gained the respect in such a short period of time.

00:50:51.980 But this signing is a massive validation of your hard work and your pioneering spirit

00:50:56.700 and your ability to never give up.

00:50:59.360 Because a lot of people would have given up two, three years ago.

00:51:02.880 So I want to thank you for contributing to the incredible strength of America.

00:51:08.240 This is going to make it stronger.

00:51:09.560 And congratulations on this incredible achievement.

00:51:12.600 You've made our dollar look really good and strong and powerful.

00:51:15.840 It's good for the dollar and it's good for the country.

00:51:18.760 And that's why I backed you at an early stage.

00:51:20.900 And I also did it for the votes, because you did come out and vote.

00:51:23.720 I will say.

00:51:25.460 And they changed tune, you know.

00:51:27.540 Biden's team, they changed tune right in the middle of the campaign.

00:51:30.700 All of a sudden, they loved you guys.

00:51:32.760 They dropped all charges.

00:51:34.520 They did have, I got you guys out of so much trouble.

00:51:37.860 And you know what?

00:51:38.740 I don't think anybody voted for them, right?

00:51:40.740 Because you remember, you remember.

00:51:42.600 They were very, they treated you very unfairly, actually.

00:51:45.200 So it's a great honor that we were involved.

00:51:48.300 And it was.

00:51:49.920 It was a tremendous amount of support that we got at the polls.

00:51:52.860 We won.

00:51:53.800 Think of it.

00:51:54.380 We won every swing state.

00:51:55.980 We won by millions of votes.

00:51:57.340 We won the popular vote.

00:51:58.520 We won the districts by 2,750.

00:52:03.400 Think of that.

00:52:04.420 To 505.

00:52:07.000 Different districts, too, by the way.

00:52:08.620 Every once in a while, that number can change.

00:52:10.900 But it doesn't change by much.

00:52:12.700 The map was almost totally red.

00:52:14.620 And you guys were with us right from the beginning.

00:52:17.040 Exactly one year ago this month, many of you were with me in Nashville, Tennessee.

00:52:22.440 Do you remember that day, right?

00:52:23.800 That was a big day, Nashville, Tennessee, when we became and I became the first presidential

00:52:30.040 candidate ever to address the Bitcoin conference.

00:52:34.140 And at this time and at that time, crypto builders and founders were under relentless assault

00:52:40.600 by the Biden administration, which was trying to crush your industry and crush you as people

00:52:45.940 and go after your families.

00:52:47.320 And they were a vicious group of people.

00:52:49.940 You know, people don't realize it. 0.99

00:52:51.160 They were vicious, incompetent, but vicious. 0.97

00:52:54.800 Well, Joe was an incompetent guy, but he was always known as a vicious guy. 0.94

00:52:59.020 I guess if you're going to be in that, you're probably off. 0.89

00:53:01.760 If they're incompetent, it's better, right?

00:53:03.980 Because you don't want to have a vicious guy that's competent.

00:53:07.340 If you did, I wouldn't be standing here today.

00:53:09.500 Right?

00:53:10.760 But I pledge that we would bring back American liberty and leadership and make the United

00:53:15.460 States the crypto capital of the world.

00:53:17.520 And that's what we've done.

00:53:18.560 And under the Trump administration, this is only going further.

00:53:23.600 You're going to do really well.

00:53:24.780 I mean, I'm so proud of what you've done in the last couple of years.

00:53:28.580 And very important, on day one, I remember I did this and I said this and I mentioned this

00:53:32.920 name and I got the greatest applause of the whole campaign.

00:53:36.180 We fired Joe Biden's SEC chair, Gary Gensler.

00:53:40.720 We fired him.

00:53:41.500 But I remember I was making a speech and, you know, it was just a line in speech and I said,

00:54:05.260 and I will fire Gary Gensler.

00:54:07.300 The place exploded.

00:54:09.180 I said, I finished that one and I said, what the hell did that guy do?

00:54:14.480 There was, there was a lot of hatred there, I'll tell you.

00:54:17.880 And it turned out, as I got familiar with everything, it turned out you were absolutely right.

00:54:22.260 In his place, I appointed a visionary chairman who wants America to build the future and not

00:54:28.320 block the future.

00:54:29.160 He's going to be unbelievable.

00:54:30.680 He'll go down as one of the greats.

00:54:32.240 And Paul Atkins, where are you, Paul Atkins?

00:54:43.580 And, you know, Paul, the crypto guys, they said, everybody said, not only crypto, every

00:54:49.640 industry, they all wanted Paul for the position.

00:54:52.560 And he's a tough cookie, too.

00:54:54.840 He's just, but they actually said, we don't care.

00:54:57.540 We just think he's fair.

00:54:59.740 All they wanted was fairness.

00:55:01.280 And they have somebody that, you're really a champion of the street and you're a champion

00:55:05.520 of the country.

00:55:06.120 You're going to do a fantastic job.

00:55:07.440 I saw you interviewed the other night.

00:55:09.280 I watched it about two o'clock in the morning.

00:55:11.720 It was a little thing called C-SPAN, which I don't know how many people were watching.

00:55:15.940 Don't worry, you were on primetime, too.

00:55:17.440 But they happen to have a little rerun.

00:55:19.100 I don't want to embarrass you.

00:55:20.860 But a fantastic job, really.

00:55:23.620 You are absolutely so perfect for the job.

00:55:26.180 Congratulations, Paul.

00:55:27.540 And Paul is here today among the commissioners, various commissioners, including Hester Pierce

00:55:34.760 and Mark Yoeda.

00:55:37.500 Hester and Mark Yoeda.

00:55:39.820 Thank you, Hester.

00:55:40.780 Thank you very much.

00:55:45.300 And thank you, Mark, wherever you may be.

00:55:47.320 Is Mark here?

00:55:48.300 Oh, stand up, Mark.

00:55:49.380 I didn't.

00:55:50.340 Good.

00:55:50.880 Thank you.

00:55:51.440 Good job.

00:55:53.100 Good.

00:55:53.460 I'm glad I gave you a second crack.

00:55:56.040 You didn't hear because of the thunderous applause for Hester.

00:56:01.100 But thank you.

00:56:02.280 I heard tremendous things about both of you.

00:56:04.320 Thank you very much.

00:56:05.160 My first week in office, I also established the first ever presidential working group on

00:56:10.160 digital assets.

00:56:11.120 And we have an executive director, Wizz Bo Hines.

00:56:14.920 Bo Hines.

00:56:16.520 Hi, Bo.

00:56:17.240 And Bo was a great football player, right?

00:56:24.500 Bo was a great football player, one of the better players in college football.

00:56:28.560 So I know you from that also.

00:56:30.680 See, who would think that I know that?

00:56:32.280 I know a lot of things, Bo.

00:56:33.600 But he was a champion player.

00:56:36.760 I stopped the weaponization of government against crypto and Bitcoin, and we ended the

00:56:41.720 lawless operation Choke Point 2.0.

00:56:45.100 That was a bad operation.

00:56:47.160 And I kept my promises to the community and granted a full presidential pardon to Ross Albrecht.

00:56:54.300 Ross Albrecht.

00:56:57.420 And you have no idea how important that name became.

00:57:00.480 It was like a symbol.

00:57:01.560 And his mother was unbelievable.

00:57:02.820 His mother was an unbelievable woman.

00:57:05.480 But it was so important to a certain group of people.

00:57:09.560 And in the truly momentous act last March, I signed an executive order establishing the

00:57:14.620 U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, as well as the United States Digital Asset Stockpile.

00:57:21.740 And that's all signed up.

00:57:23.480 And with today's signing, we're pushing even further into the exciting new frontier.

00:57:28.180 Just as I promised last year, the Genius Act creates a clear and simple regulatory

00:57:32.680 framework to establish and unleash the immense promise of dollar-backed stable coins.

00:57:40.760 This could be perhaps the greatest revolution in financial technology since the birth of the Internet itself.

00:57:47.520 A lot of people are saying that.

00:57:48.520 A lot of people are saying that.

00:57:49.560 I don't know.

00:57:50.060 What do you guys think?

00:57:50.900 Yes?

00:57:52.180 If you say yes, I'm saying yes.

00:57:55.040 I think it's great that you're involved, I will tell you.

00:57:59.400 Many Americans are unaware that behind the scenes, the technical backbone of the financial system

00:58:05.800 is decades out of date, many, many years out of date.

00:58:09.740 You know that.

00:58:10.560 Paul and others are straightening it out.

00:58:12.440 But payments and money transfers are costly and take days or even weeks to clear.

00:58:17.700 Under this bill, the entire ancient system will be eligible for a 21st century upgrade

00:58:23.280 using the state-of-the-art crypto technology.

00:58:26.960 Who would have thought we would have been saying that two years after I really met you for the first time?

00:58:33.800 The Genius Act provides banks, businesses, and financial institutions a framework for issuing crypto assets

00:58:39.600 backed one for one with real U.S. dollars, treasury bills, and other cash equivalents.

00:58:45.660 It's really strengthening the dollar and giving the dollar great prominence.

00:58:51.240 And, you know, you have this little group called BRICS.

00:58:53.840 It's fading out fast.

00:58:55.540 But BRICS is, they wanted to try and take over the dollar, the dominance of the dollar, 0.98

00:58:59.960 and the standard of the dollar.

00:59:02.440 And I said, anybody that's in the BRICS consortium of nations, we're going to tariff you 10%. 1.00

00:59:07.800 And they had a meeting the following day, and almost nobody showed up.

00:59:12.280 They said, leave me alone.

00:59:14.360 We didn't want to.

00:59:15.080 They didn't want to be tariffed there.

00:59:16.940 That's amazing.

00:59:18.480 No, we're not going to let the dollar slide.

00:59:20.120 If we have a smart president, you're never going to let the dollar slide.

00:59:23.020 If you have a dummy, that could happen, like the last one.

00:59:26.340 He would, if you ever asked him about the dollar slide, he would have no idea.

00:59:30.780 But we can't let that ever happen again.

00:59:33.920 Consumers, vendors, and people all over the world will then be able to use those stablecoins

00:59:38.360 for ultra-low-cost transactions that are cleared and settled in a matter of seconds rather than weeks and months.

00:59:46.260 And it's really an amazing thing.

00:59:48.800 And with the privacy, flexibility, and decentralization of cash,

00:59:52.860 this revolution has the potential to supercharge American economic growth

00:59:57.240 and empower billions of people to save and transfer in U.S. dollars.

01:00:02.720 It's really all backed by the dollars.

01:00:04.740 It's really a great thing.

01:00:06.580 And a lot of, you know, we had a lot of Democrat support.

01:00:09.140 I have to tell you that.

01:00:10.180 I was shocked.

01:00:11.360 Anytime you get one, but we had a tremendous amount of Democrat support,

01:00:16.060 which we appreciate it, which just shows you that you're doing the right thing.

01:00:23.380 This will increase demand for U.S. Treasuries, lower interest rates,

01:00:26.560 and secure the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency for generations to come.

01:00:32.040 The reserve currency is so important.

01:00:33.880 You know, if we lost that, that would be like losing a world war.

01:00:36.900 We can never let anyone play games with us.

01:00:39.620 And that's why when I heard about this group from BRICS, six countries basically,

01:00:44.240 I hit them very, very hard.

01:00:47.640 And if they ever form, if they ever really form in a meaningful way,

01:00:54.180 it will end very quickly, I will tell you, for them.

01:00:57.340 They won't be gone very long.

01:00:59.520 I don't think they'll even do it.

01:01:01.320 They're virtually afraid to meet.

01:01:04.280 I also remain fully committed to my pledge never to allow the creation of a central bank

01:01:10.660 digital currency in America.

01:01:12.540 It won't happen.

01:01:13.180 It won't happen.

01:01:14.180 My first...

01:01:15.180 Thank you.

01:01:21.760 And the other night, I will say, with some of the congressmen and women,

01:01:26.000 they wanted that so badly.

01:01:27.940 That was so important to them.

01:01:29.500 You know, I was impressed that they knew what the hell it was, to be honest with you.

01:01:33.040 Please, sir, please, the central bank digital currency,

01:01:36.040 well, you have to make sure, sir.

01:01:38.000 And I'm saying, what do you know about that?

01:01:39.520 It's amazing the knowledge that people have gained all of a sudden.

01:01:42.860 We had a lot of problems with some of them.

01:01:44.840 I said, we've already got it from the Fed, right?

01:01:48.280 From commerce and from an executive order.

01:01:51.520 You don't need it a fourth time.

01:01:53.260 I'm sure we have to get it.

01:01:55.260 It's amazing.

01:01:57.600 But they knew their subject, though, didn't they, huh?

01:02:01.920 And we helped them out.

01:02:03.300 My first week in office, I signed an executive order to ban the creation of a CBDC in the United States.

01:02:10.920 And very soon, I look forward to signing legislation that will codify and ban the...

01:02:16.300 make it a permanent law, put it in permanence.

01:02:19.280 I'm also committed to signing landmark crypto market structure legislation this year to grow the industry.

01:02:25.600 We're going to be growing it even more, more than people ever thought.

01:02:28.760 It's a really hot industry.

01:02:31.280 And for a little while, two nights ago, we were a little concerned.

01:02:36.060 Because we were a little short on votes.

01:02:38.620 Like, I would say maybe we were about nine short.

01:02:43.360 Nine short at three in the morning.

01:02:45.660 We were about four short at 3.30 in the morning.

01:02:50.820 And we were in good shape at four o'clock in the morning, right?

01:02:54.260 But the people, and few people, have fought harder for the bill than we're signing than some of the people here today.

01:03:02.420 You have been unbelievable.

01:03:04.680 It's our White House AI and crypto czar, David Sachs, who has done such a great job.

01:03:10.440 And I did his, I did his, he has a show now, I've become a showman.

01:03:22.240 But a couple of years ago, right, it's probably two years ago now in San Francisco, and I did his show.

01:03:28.000 And I heard he's a very smart guy, and we had a great show.

01:03:30.840 You've kept it going a lot longer, and you got, is that still your highest rated ever show?

01:03:35.120 Oh, he knows what to say.

01:03:36.220 He knows what, he had a rating that, he had millions and millions of people.

01:03:41.840 He said, what's going on?

01:03:43.340 But we had a, we had a great show.

01:03:44.780 And I said, you know, that guy's really smart.

01:03:46.360 I said, if I get elected, he was running at that time.

01:03:50.160 If I get elected, we're going to bring him into government in some way.

01:03:52.900 He's worth a fortune.

01:03:54.420 He's made a lot of money.

01:03:55.780 He's a very rich, he's a very rich billionaire.

01:03:58.600 But this is more important, isn't it?

01:04:00.640 This is, me too, you know, it's like, doesn't matter.

01:04:03.740 This is much, I know Howard and I talk about it all the time.

01:04:07.000 Howard could go back to his wonderful brokerage firm, hire one or two people.

01:04:11.160 And it's not the same as, it's not the same as what you're doing, right?

01:04:15.440 The biggest, we're doing the biggest deals in the world.

01:04:17.520 Actually, the deal we're doing now in tariffs is the biggest, when you add it up, the biggest deal ever made in history.

01:04:25.400 It could be a thousand IBMs.

01:04:28.020 I mean, if you think of it, it's the biggest deal ever done.

01:04:31.980 So it's hard to go back to a brokerage firm and, you know, make a $79,000 commission on the sale of a sock, right?

01:04:40.560 It's true.

01:04:42.020 But I want to ask David.

01:04:43.320 So David's been fantastic.

01:04:44.740 He's done an incredible job.

01:04:46.720 And I'd like to ask David to come up, say a few words.

01:04:49.340 Thank you very much.

01:04:54.720 Thank you so much.

01:04:57.740 All right.

01:04:58.220 Thank you, President Trump.

01:04:59.080 It's a great, great honor to be here.

01:05:00.680 And it's true that I'd never expected to work in government at all.

01:05:03.460 And then everything changed after President Trump came on my podcast.

01:05:06.660 And I, you know, I accepted this job as cryptozorber because I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work for a president who really wants to get things done for the American people.

01:05:16.360 And if anything, that's been an understatement.

01:05:18.680 The first six months of this administration have been more successful than any administration in American history.

01:05:24.000 What's been done?

01:05:29.120 It's just been incredible.

01:05:31.720 President Trump has worked at tech speed.

01:05:33.800 We're used to working fast in Silicon Valley, but even this is fast for us in Silicon Valley, the speed at which you moved, President Trump.

01:05:40.340 It's really incredible.

01:05:41.900 And now today, you have another historic legislative achievement that is a monumental step to fulfilling your promise to making the United States the crypto capital of the world.

01:05:50.920 This Genius Act will unlock American dominance in the crypto industry by creating clear rules of the road.

01:05:56.420 It will update archaic payment rails with a revolutionary new payment system.

01:06:00.580 And it will extend U.S. dollar dominance, like you said, globally by creating a digital dollar that people all over the world can use.

01:06:07.560 And for every digital dollar in a crypto wallet, there'll be a traditional dollar in a U.S. bank account, which will create trillions of dollars in demand for U.S. Treasury.

01:06:15.420 So that is the power of this bill is U.S. dollar dominance.

01:06:18.960 This is a huge promise made and promise kept by President Trump.

01:06:22.180 And there's just a few other people I'd like to thank.

01:06:24.340 First, my family for being here.

01:06:25.540 Thank you.

01:06:31.960 And Bo Hines, who President Trump mentions, the director of our crypto council, he really did the heavy lifting here.

01:06:37.180 So, Bo, I just want to thank you again.

01:06:38.440 And my chief of staff, Tracy Johnson, as well, who also does the heavy lifting.

01:06:48.540 And Bill Hagerty and French Hill and all the congressmen and senators who have already been mentioned by President Trump.

01:06:54.740 So I'll save the time.

01:06:55.480 But it's really been an honor to work with all of you.

01:06:57.180 This was really a team effort.

01:06:58.480 But most of all, I want to thank President Trump for accomplishing what nobody thought was possible.

01:07:03.360 And it's true that just earlier this week, the media was reporting that this bill was dead.

01:07:08.220 This bill was dead.

01:07:09.260 And then the media didn't know one thing, that we had a secret weapon.

01:07:12.740 We have a dealmaker in chief.

01:07:14.680 And thanks to President Trump, he stepped in and saved this bill.

01:07:18.080 And it's because of your vision, your leadership, your determination, your skill that we're all here today.

01:07:23.040 So thank you very much, President Trump.

01:07:24.440 Thank you.

01:07:24.900 Thank you.

01:07:25.640 Is that Laura?

01:07:34.960 Please come.

01:07:36.060 Just come here.

01:07:37.180 This is our superstar.

01:07:38.480 She was the head of the Republican Party.

01:07:41.560 And nobody complained about anything.

01:07:44.680 We went on to great.

01:07:46.200 This is Laura Trump.

01:07:48.780 Married to a young gentleman named Eric.

01:07:51.540 They have beautiful two children.

01:07:53.060 But she has been so good, she stepped into that position like it was nothing that we wanted.

01:07:58.160 And she said, Dad, I'd like to go home right now to my beautiful husband and my son and daughter, right?

01:08:04.120 But you did a fantastic job.

01:08:05.920 And you worked with a great gentleman, too.

01:08:08.460 He's doing a fantastic job.

01:08:10.440 But I just want to thank you.

01:08:12.260 I just saw you standing back there.

01:08:13.540 I wanted to bring her in.

01:08:14.480 Thank you very much, Laura.

01:08:15.620 Thank you.

01:08:16.120 Thank you.

01:08:16.160 So under the Trump administration, I just got back from Saudi Arabia, and we went to Qatar.

01:08:28.880 We went to a number of countries.

01:08:33.460 And I will tell you, the level of respect that this country has now is incredible.

01:08:40.220 The UAE, I tell you what, we had a time there.

01:08:44.540 But every leader said the same thing.

01:08:46.980 They said, one year ago, your country was dead.

01:08:50.260 And they'd say it that way.

01:08:51.360 It was like, you know, I didn't know whether I was supposed to be happy or insulted.

01:08:56.320 But the truth is, we were in deep trouble.

01:08:59.120 But they said, one year ago, your country was dead.

01:09:01.720 And today, you have the hottest country anywhere in the world.

01:09:04.320 And it's true. 0.56

01:09:04.880 We have the hottest country in the world.

01:09:06.320 We had a country where we're a laughingstock with the borders, people pouring in.

01:09:10.680 Can you imagine last month, in the month of June, actually, zero?

01:09:16.500 Now, I don't even believe that, zero, because you have hundreds of thousands pouring in.

01:09:20.960 And then all of a sudden, it's zero.

01:09:22.180 But they have it down to zero.

01:09:23.640 And very liberal people take that particular toll.

01:09:26.900 It's a liberal group.

01:09:27.840 So they're not giving us any favors.

01:09:30.180 It's zero people coming through our border.

01:09:32.060 Can you imagine that from literally hundreds of thousands and millions?

01:09:36.760 Pouring in from all over the world.

01:09:39.360 They came from all over the world.

01:09:41.820 They came from prisons, jails.

01:09:43.500 They came from mental institutions, gang members.

01:09:46.800 There were gangs.

01:09:48.300 They came from all over the place, from every country.

01:09:50.780 They came from the Congo and Africa, a lot from the Congo.

01:09:54.280 They came from South America.

01:09:56.060 A lot of came from Venezuela.

01:09:57.860 They emptied their jails into our country. 0.99

01:10:00.580 Can you imagine?

01:10:01.200 They allowed that, emptied their jails into our country, and they let them walk right into our country 1.00

01:10:05.580 like perfect, 11,888 committed murder, 50% committed more than one person.

01:10:15.760 They murdered more than one person, 50% of 11,888.

01:10:20.380 And we had murderers, and we're getting them out.

01:10:23.660 And Tom Holman and Christie are doing a great job.

01:10:27.040 That Tom Holman, I'll tell you, is he central casting or what?

01:10:30.480 And he takes abuse, but they just keep fighting, and they're winning.

01:10:35.020 And we're winning in the courts, and we're winning everywhere.

01:10:36.920 But we've got the hottest country in the world, and you're a big part of it.

01:10:42.560 So the golden age of America is upon us.

01:10:45.100 And with today's signing, the future of crypto and the crypto industry, the U.S. dollar working

01:10:50.820 together, because they really are hand in hand, is going to be stronger and bigger and better

01:10:56.520 than ever before.

01:10:57.640 And I just want to thank everybody, some tremendous people in this room.

01:11:00.940 And maybe when I sign, I'll ask some of our great senators and congressmen to come on up.

01:11:06.620 Some of the top crypto guys, please come on up, because you guys work very hard on this.

01:11:11.740 And we'll sign this, and we'll get on to the next battle, and we'll win.

01:11:16.620 But we're winning all over the world right now.

01:11:18.980 It's not even close.

01:11:19.980 Not even close, and we're going to keep it going.

01:11:21.940 Thank you, everybody, very much.

01:11:23.260 Thank you.

01:11:30.940 Hello, fellas.
