00:00:00.080 What is going on Patriots? This is Tate Brown here holding it down.
00:00:04.160 We are live once again from the great Rumble Studios and it is fitting as we
00:00:08.280 are a part of the Rumble lineup for today. We're taking you into the
00:00:11.520 afternoon of the Rumble morning lineup and we have a fantastic show for you
00:00:15.300 today. We're switching it up today. We're switching up our style. You know
00:00:18.420 usually we go news into the interview but I figured you know what it's a new
00:00:21.860 year. I think it's a new me. We should switch up the style and beyond just
00:00:26.680 switching up from a digital interview. We brought in a live guest. So
00:00:29.660 obviously if you've seen the news if you've been keeping an eye on Twitter
00:00:32.520 you've seen the launch of the new Rumble wallet. It's really some exciting
00:00:36.780 stuff. I've been poking around with it all day and it is a paradigm changer
00:00:41.020 quite frankly. There's no question about it. So I was sitting back and I was
00:00:43.660 like who should we bring on to talk about the Rumble wallet? Thankfully
00:00:47.460 seeing as we are at Rumble Studios we ran a Maduro style raid up to Chris
00:00:51.060 Pavlosky's office and we got him down here and we're going to sit him down and
00:00:54.740 we're going to interview and he is joining us today. So Chris how's it
00:00:58.780 going? Great thanks for having me. Glad to be here. Yeah dude this is exciting
00:01:02.320 stuff. So I am kind of I'm kind of an idiot. There's no question about that. 0.98
00:01:08.220 So I'm seeing Rumble wallet and it's really exciting stuff but can you explain
00:01:11.880 to me specifically how this works like I'm five years old? Yeah so we this
00:01:16.820 morning we announced that we went live with the Rumble wallet. We've been testing
00:01:20.700 it for about a month well we've been testing it for many months but to the
00:01:25.500 broader public about a month and the whole idea behind the Rumble wallet is
00:01:30.120 basically to give you an uncancellable and untouchable basically wallet that
00:01:37.800 that is completely yours and only yours. It is it's a crypto wallet that allows
00:01:44.460 anybody to buy hold or tip creators with Bitcoin, Tether and Tether Gold. So it's
00:01:54.380 it's the first of its kind I don't think there is a platform of our size there is
00:01:57.960 no platform of our size that is allowing people to send crypto to creators in an
00:02:02.640 ecosystem like that and it's so yeah it's a it's a first of its kind and it's what I
00:02:10.020 I believe that it's here to change the creator economy completely. So you can
00:02:14.760 now as a creator receive Bitcoin without any fees from the platforms you'll get
00:02:21.720 fees from like you know the gas fees that Bitcoin has when you move Bitcoin
00:02:25.200 there there's there's all these like tiny fees they're negligible but like if
00:02:30.300 someone sends you one Bitcoin you're getting nearly one Bitcoin in your Rumble
00:02:34.620 wallet so yeah without any interference from anybody and being that it's a
00:02:38.580 non-custodial wallet I can't touch that at Rumble if you lose your password and
00:02:43.080 you can't like I can't help you this is like your wallet your money I have no
00:02:47.760 control I can't touch it yeah and I think that's like a that's a big thing at
00:02:52.560 Rumble we've been about free speech with our Rumble video platform we've been
00:02:56.980 protecting freedom of expression to the best ability that we can and now we want
00:03:02.360 to broaden that ecosystem to be freedom across multiple buckets whether it's
00:03:06.780 video and media allowing you to say whatever you want to say not telling you
00:03:10.920 can what you can or cannot say whether it's cloud allowing you to build on top of
00:03:16.100 something that's you that's not going to be canceled for arbitrary reasons like
00:03:20.100 we saw with parlor and now it's the the Rumble wallet it's that it's digital
00:03:24.660 freedom it's digital finance financial freedom you now have a wallet that I can't
00:03:29.460 touch I can't go I can't go into I can't move your money freeze your money hold your
00:03:34.540 money it's it's money that you know if someone wants to give you money they
00:03:38.860 can give you money and I can't impede on that transaction it's completely on the
00:03:42.520 blockchain and it's completely decentralized and it's something that is
00:03:48.220 completely yours so I think we're building this massive broad ecosystem with
00:03:53.620 tether you know those three buckets and we're gonna keep adding buckets of freedom
00:03:57.580 whether it's AI and allowing you to control your AI and you know molding your AI the
00:04:02.820 way you want to do and whether we get into browsers and all these other parts
00:04:06.580 of the ecosystem that that's the future but we're we're building an entirely
00:04:10.140 freedom-first ecosystem it's brilliant I mean the thing that jumps out to me is
00:04:14.060 the no fees because like when I've dealt with crypto I mean you're getting rinsed
00:04:18.180 and who knows where that's going yeah so there there's uh there's if you want to
00:04:22.840 like buy crypto this is the there's gonna be fees if you're bringing it in from a
00:04:27.100 credit card or a debit card if you want to buy crypto the the part that we're
00:04:31.720 rumble when I say no fees it's the no fee from the user once they have their own
00:04:37.060 crypto now you don't need maybe you don't need to buy crypto maybe you have a lot
00:04:39.980 already and you're sending one Bitcoin to to Timcast or you're setting sending
00:04:45.860 one Bitcoin to whoever it may be there's no there's only the the fees of the you
00:04:52.240 know of of the gas fees the the fees that are associated to moving Bitcoin that
00:04:56.920 we all see and we all we will hear about which are you know pennies if not
00:05:02.000 pennies like less than pennies at times so it's uh it's revolutionary for the
00:05:07.520 crater economy and it's real time yeah you don't have to wait for me to pay you
00:05:10.920 out yeah like the someone in the chat can send you money and it will show up in
00:05:17.600 your chat and it'll show up in your wallet in real time now Bitcoin takes a
00:05:22.400 little longer it takes like 20 minutes I had to send some you know as a test I
00:05:26.060 I sent some to the to this channel we already got someone in the chat just sent
00:05:30.640 five dollars let's go as tether all right um so that's already you're already
00:05:35.480 seeing it come in I had to say I sent Bitcoin when this started so about five
00:05:39.120 minutes ago I sent some Bitcoin to to the Timcast channel and with Bitcoin
00:05:44.620 because it's it's on the Bitcoin Bitcoin it takes a little bit longer you'll see
00:05:49.960 it'll take about 10 to 20 minutes to verify and post if it's tether or tether
00:05:55.120 gold I'll do it in real time while we're here it'll be like lightning fast so it's
00:06:00.820 uh it's it's the first of its kind usually when you get a super chat on
00:06:06.080 YouTube you got YouTube's gotta get the money verify it wait to pay you out send
00:06:11.280 you a check you know every every 30 days or whatever the the payment whatever
00:06:16.920 the payment terms are at the time so with with this it's instantaneous and it's in
00:06:24.720 it the best part is it's multiple different currencies you have well
00:06:29.940 multiple different crypto assets you have Bitcoin which you can receive tether
00:06:34.840 which is tied to the US dollar and you have XAUT which is the uh gold uh stable coin
00:06:41.180 wow that's I I think outside of Bitcoin in terms of stable coins my favorite is the
00:06:46.400 XAUT Bitcoin obviously is what I hold most of but uh XAUT is really exciting and we can
00:06:52.560 we can talk about what that is because I think that's a that's a game changer in
00:06:56.420 itself that's stable coin yeah I mean this is exciting stuff I mean what's sort of
00:07:01.100 your long-term vision for this project because I mean this just launched and it's
00:07:04.700 already kind of a paradigm changer but you know what sort of gaps do you see this
00:07:08.840 really filling what sort of needs you see this filling especially for you know
00:07:11.960 Rumble viewers yeah so I see like big tech having complete control of everything
00:07:18.880 they're biased they're censorious they have all this control um what we're trying
00:07:24.000 to do at Rumble is do the opposite of that we don't want to be biased we don't
00:07:28.120 want to have control on the creator or the user um we want we're definitely not going
00:07:33.200 to be censorious so it's uh we want to give the power back to the user and back to the
00:07:39.020 creator we want to step away from what you should own and what should be yours your own
00:07:44.160 content your own speech your own finance and we just want to be the utility that runs
00:07:50.140 underneath that we want to be the resources we want to be the cloud for you we want to
00:07:54.060 be the platform for you we want to be the apps for you we want to be all the utilities
00:07:58.100 and we think that's enough that that that's a good business in itself we think a freedom
00:08:02.260 first business across all points of the ecosystem is better than a controlled style business that
00:08:09.560 that Google has or you know the large tech companies have um we think that as we move in
00:08:15.580 the future 10 years from now that that's going to be something that's going to be desired by
00:08:19.040 most of the world yeah and we're already seeing that Rumble's big because of that so like
00:08:23.220 we're already seeing that people want you know to be able to say what they want to say
00:08:27.600 right they don't want someone coming in and telling them what they can or cannot say
00:08:31.000 yeah so um yeah I that's where we're going um I think we're getting some some some rants
00:08:38.880 coming in and some tips coming in from the wallet I'm gonna take a look I'm gonna I think
00:08:43.420 it'd be cool to send one on the fly here so yeah see the versatility yeah I love it I mean
00:08:50.220 yeah because that's the thing with the big tech I mean this this is a conversation that's been
00:08:53.680 been had for years but it really is disturbing how we're used to the fact that these big tech
00:08:59.440 companies who are sort of arbiters for the public conversation in many ways are quite open that
00:09:04.000 they have an agenda and it's an agenda that's completely out of step probably more than just
00:09:09.040 half the country I would say the majority of the country has an appetite for freedom I mean
00:09:13.380 that's like a very low bar and uh you know we've been hearing about it for so many years now
00:09:18.820 where I think some people are kind of used to the fact that we have these massive massive billion
00:09:23.700 dollar corporations that quite literally openly have an agenda and it's just something that's
00:09:29.820 it's something that like people need to like wrap their head around it's like we don't have to live
00:09:33.720 this way this is optional like you don't need to participate in this racket quite frankly and that
00:09:40.080 that's what so like why rumbles obviously you know tapped the nerve but it's just kind of oxygen in a
00:09:45.080 way where they're there you guys aren't interested in like meddling in people's business you just want
00:09:51.820 to provide them a platform like it's a very kind of you know it's a very simple uh presentation but
00:09:57.940 it's it's so offensive to this again this big tech consensus which is no we're going to steer the
00:10:02.940 conversation in the correct direction because we have this overarching agenda so to speak um but
00:10:08.380 that's what's so exciting out now with the wallets I mean there's obviously a huge huge gap I mean for
00:10:12.520 this I mean the appetite's going to be insane I mean we're already seeing it we're already seeing
00:10:15.540 people mixing it up in chat um you had mentioned the the gold backed uh crypto what is sort of the
00:10:23.360 relationship between bitcoin and gold because I'm obviously a bit more familiar with sort of silver and
00:10:28.020 gold and we've seen the prices on the rise what is the relationship between that and bitcoins
00:10:32.300 because for a lot of people bitcoin is this invisible thing it's quite you know anxiety inducing to some
00:10:37.140 regard because you can't hold it and it's not necessarily something you can just evaluate with your
00:10:41.140 with your eyes and hands yeah no I I just actually sent uh while you're speaking right now I sent XAUT
00:10:48.800 to the Tim Cass channel um so XAUT it's about a hundred dollars worth of XAUT is what I just sent
00:10:56.800 and uh as you can see it says $99 at the top and 99 cents that's most likely because gold went down in
00:11:03.580 price a little bit this will you're now holding a gold backed stable coin in your rumble wallet
00:11:08.980 so I just sent you a hundred dollars worth of gold now if gold goes down in price it's going to go
00:11:14.300 lower it's going to go higher if it goes higher in price and that's now in your wallet in real time
00:11:19.380 as we've been chatting here on on stream so what's really awesome about this this stable coin is that
00:11:29.140 I love this because like you know up until now I've been holding a lot of gold in the GLD ETFs I've
00:11:36.760 been holding a lot of gold in those my stock accounts but there's a 40 basis uh 40 basis point
00:11:43.180 management fee for for these ETFs or you know 30 basis points depending on which ETF you're holding
00:11:48.820 on uh one of the whatever that gold ETF is and uh you're losing 40 basis points every year for a
00:11:55.540 management fee for them holding gold gold with XAUT not only is there no annual management fee for when
00:12:03.620 you buy gold there's at times you you get the price lower than spot sometimes you get a higher in the
00:12:09.040 spot most time you're getting at spot and sometimes lower but there is no annual management fee on XAUT
00:12:16.140 at all in like that means over 10 years you're losing like 4% of your holdings to a management
00:12:23.680 fee on the GLD where with XAUT you once you buy it it's yours it moves with spot all day long and
00:12:32.240 even better you can take your XAUT token and redeem it for physical gold in the Switzerland in a vault
00:12:40.800 it's in Switzerland so like you could actually you're actually buying real gold like yeah there's
00:12:47.320 all these theories of the GLD and all these other ETFs I don't I I don't I haven't I don't know I've
00:12:53.180 never seen their their vaults or their safes but you can go and see your gold you can get your gold
00:12:59.500 in a safe in Switzerland with your XAUT it is real every XAUT is representative it has it's 0.93
00:13:07.240 representative gold as it's backing in a vault in Switzerland and to me that's like that's like
00:13:13.060 owning physical gold basically but it's digital gold but you know it's backed it's backed one-to-one
00:13:18.620 to to uh physical gold and for me that's that's far better than any ETF out there that's charging a 40
00:13:25.460 basis management fee 40 basis point management fee yeah I love that with crypto I mean maybe to get
00:13:33.720 more into the you know political philosophical side so to speak what do you think is driving
00:13:37.600 so much interest and demand for crypto and in addition to that maybe a second part of the
00:13:43.720 question um how do you see rumble specifically kind of channeling this whatever this motivation is like
00:13:49.900 the massive interest in crypto what about crypto makes it a game changer I guess would be the question
00:13:54.040 um and then beyond that like where does rumble come in specifically as as we progress forward
00:13:59.220 yeah and I think we started seeing that this morning so that the CEO of tether was uh you know
00:14:04.580 rating some streams and sending money to to some gamers and some random streamers on the internet
00:14:09.940 on rumble and a lot of these people didn't even really understand what was tether what is USDT what
00:14:18.460 did they what did they just received is that dollars what what is that so rumble is broadening
00:14:24.320 the audience of crypto today as we've launched this it is broadening the the creators are starting
00:14:30.220 to learn that you know never were crypto enthusiasts probably never had a crypto wallet yeah and now
00:14:36.320 they have a crypto wallet and now they're receiving income through crypto on their streams they are
00:14:42.240 learning very quickly a whole new cohort of an audience uh is learning very quickly what crypto is
00:14:48.200 what usdt is what xaut is what bitcoin is um and and that's that's what rumble's doing rumble's taking
00:14:55.720 it to the masses to a to a segment of audience that has never really seen this before and we're starting
00:15:00.360 to see that today alone and I think that's that's really exciting because like crypto has been very
00:15:05.240 confined to like an enthusiast crowd it's been it there there's a real loyal crypto enthusiast crowd
00:15:11.080 out there it's been growing but it's been growing slowly I think with rumble we can really mainstream
00:15:16.440 this to a whole different world yeah uh people that are interested in politics people that are
00:15:21.240 interested in gaming people that have never really explored the crypto universe are going to get a
00:15:26.200 taste of it for the very first time on rumble not only is the creator receiving something and saying
00:15:31.640 on stream earlier this morning what is that what is what is that what did I just get um and then
00:15:37.320 figuring it out on the fly as people in the chat are helping them but they have thousands of viewers
00:15:41.880 that are seeing that too and learning with that creator what what that was yeah that that's a
00:15:47.640 stable coin that's called tether it's backed by by the us dollar that's bitcoin you know that's
00:15:52.920 tether gold because I saw the first one come in I was like is that a wi-fi password like what is it
00:15:57.000 yeah it's just it's the logo of tether and it's uh it's usdt which is one to one to the it's uh it's
00:16:04.280 to the us dollars so like for five five usdt is equal to five us dollars yeah so you know I think
00:16:11.720 the world will will get there I think rumble will be the lead in letting the world know and uh uh I'm
00:16:19.000 I'm I'm just so excited to be a part of that and be the very first large platform to be doing
00:16:24.040 something like this well and it's super intuitive because I mean again for guys like me we're kind of
00:16:28.760 simple simpletons in a lot of ways and the thing with cryptos it's been so much to digest like okay
00:16:34.920 I understand the importance of it I understand its role I understand why in many ways it's the future
00:16:40.360 but I tried to participate and beyond like you know the big houses who take these massive cuts
00:16:45.080 off when you try to you know purchase them it's just like you're drinking from a fire hose and what
00:16:49.800 makes rumble wallet so refreshing like I set my account up in literally like 90 seconds like it was
00:16:54.520 very simple yeah rumble login yeah and uh it's super intuitive I mean it's very very easy to
00:17:00.840 kind of comprehend and digest and like you said when there are these moving parts these different
00:17:04.280 coins coming in or or whatever you can actually sort of tan it's tangible what the value of it is
00:17:10.520 quite quickly and it's so refreshing no it it is it's uh you know for me this has been a a giant
00:17:19.080 learning experience in the last day I've been in crypto for a very long time I think I lost a
00:17:23.640 computer with crypto from probably like a decade ago that's obviously no fun but uh you know
00:17:30.840 building this wallet alongside tether and tether being the largest stable coin in the world the
00:17:37.400 largest crypto company in the world and the most probably one of the most one of the most profitable
00:17:43.000 private companies in the world um it's been a huge learning experience like building this out and
00:17:48.840 getting this out to the masses and it's been super fun and uh you know I'm just really excited to
00:17:55.480 like broaden this ecosystem I've been such a proponent of bitcoin yeah prior to the 2024 elections
00:18:01.720 it was rumble you know didn't really do anything in in the crypto space and then after post uh 2024
00:18:09.160 elections when uh president trump won we stepped on the gas we launched a treasury strategy at rumble we now
00:18:16.600 rumble even holds bitcoin and its treasury um and now we're you know not only are we holding bitcoin
00:18:24.040 but we're creating and broadening um this ecosystem this ecosystem by by building the wallet and
00:18:31.160 introducing it to creators introducing it to millions of users that have never touched crypto before so
00:18:37.080 I think this is the first step and what we'll see is uh crypto kind of taking over bitcoin kind of
00:18:42.840 taking over the world I I'm I really do believe that the banking systems are so archaic um not only do
00:18:53.160 they do crazy stuff like the trucker protesters and shut down their accounts but like what you cannot do
00:18:59.480 with the rumble wallet no government no rumble no nobody can shut down your wallet yeah um but like
00:19:05.960 it's just so much better I can send a thousand dollars or a hundred dollars to you instantaneously
00:19:12.760 with the lowest amount of fees out there these banks are charging fees it's crazy the world how
00:19:19.640 the world is set up if you want to send like a remittance over to like Africa they're charging like
00:19:26.200 15 20 fees to the poorest countries in the world they're taking the most money from the poorest people
00:19:31.480 and if you want to send uh you know to someone in America the fees are a little bit lower there's
00:19:36.440 more competitiveness but with like tether or tether gold it's instantaneous it's the lowest fees you'll
