00:05:23.000 Hey guys, welcome to another huge episode of Triggered.
00:05:28.000 It's been a big week.
00:05:29.000 I just got back from Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas, talking about what we're doing with American Bitcoin.
00:05:37.000 Super excited about that.
00:05:39.000 Also, what we're doing with World Liberty Financial and USD1 on the stablecoin side.
00:05:44.000 So it's been a big week in crypto for us.
00:05:47.000 Obviously, you saw Truth Social doing a $2.5 billion Bitcoin treasury.
00:05:53.000 We're going all in on crypto.
00:05:54.000 Really excited about that.
00:05:55.000 So I apologize if I'm a little tired.
00:05:58.000 The red-eye back from Vegas. 0.92
00:05:59.000 Not always the easiest, especially when you're old as dirt like me.
00:06:03.000 But there's a lot going on.
00:06:05.000 We have another day with another far-left radical judicial coup, ignoring the law and pushing politics.
00:06:15.000 But the Trump administration is already responding in a big way.
00:06:21.000 And the fifth, sir, So the tariffs are back on, folks.
00:06:28.000 The activist judges aren't winning.
00:06:31.000 They're going to keep trying.
00:06:32.000 We're going to keep fighting.
00:06:34.000 But that's a really big deal.
00:06:36.000 But I'm sure, again, the fight will continue.
00:06:40.000 And we all have to stay in the game.
00:06:42.000 We all have to stay engaged.
00:06:43.000 We can't rest on our laurels.
00:06:45.000 We can't rest on the winds.
00:06:47.000 We just have to be out there because Even if we're 18 months out, it's going on now, and we have to make sure we codify these things into law.
00:06:58.000 Plus, guys, the State Department is taking historic steps to stop global censorship.
00:07:06.000 Also, the Department of Justice just opened a Title IX investigation into the state of Oregon for allowing men to compete in women's sports.
00:07:17.000 So we're going to get into all of that shortly.

00:09:02.000 And speaking of which, guys, don't forget about All Family Pharmacy.
00:09:05.000 You've seen how hard it can be to access important medications like ivermectin.
00:09:10.000 And it's critical to have on hand these kind of medications for any emergency and to be prepared in a time of crisis.
00:09:17.000 That's why I want to tell you about All Family Pharmacy.

00:09:57.000 But if you are still...

00:10:47.000 Speak to the guys at Tax Network USA.
00:10:51.000 And now, let's get into the top headlines.
00:10:54.000 We're going to begin with the State Department, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio continues delivering win after win.
00:11:02.000 Yesterday, he announced a new visa policy restriction that will apply to foreign officials and persons who are complicit in censoring Americans in general and abroad.
00:11:16.000 As the Secretary wrote on X yesterday, Watch Rubio on visas yesterday.
00:11:41.000 When you come to the United States as a visitor, which is what a visa is, which is how this individual entered this country, as a visitor's visa.
00:11:49.000 You are here as a visitor.
00:11:50.000 We can deny you that visa.
00:11:52.000 We can deny you that.
00:11:53.000 If you tell us when you apply, "Hi, I'm trying to get into the United States on a student visa.
00:11:58.000 I am a big supporter of Hamas, a murderous, barbaric group that kidnaps children, that rapes teenage girls, that takes hostages, that allows them to die in captivity, that returns more bodies than live hostages." If you tell us that you are in favor of a group like this, and if you tell us when you apply for your visa, and by the way, I intend to come to your country as a student. 0.94
00:12:18.000 And rile up all kinds of anti-Jewish student, anti-Semitic activities. 0.72
00:12:22.000 I intend to shut down your universities.
00:12:24.000 If you told us all these things when you applied for a visa, we would deny your visa.
00:12:28.000 I hope we would.
00:12:29.000 If you actually end up doing that once you're in this country on such a visa, we will revoke it.
00:12:34.000 And if you end up having a green card, not citizenship, but a green card as a result of that visa while you're here and those activities, we're gonna kick you out. 0.97
00:12:42.000 But guys, it didn't stop there.
00:12:44.000 The department also announced that the U.S. will begin revoking visas of Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party, or studying in critical fields.
00:12:57.000 This, of course, guys, should have been done years ago.
00:13:00.000 There are hundreds of thousands of Chinese students at American universities on student visas.
00:13:06.000 But in China, it's a tiny fraction of that, around 1,000 Americans.
00:13:14.000 Reports in the Economic Times point out Chinese nationals working and studying at these institutions have been repeatedly, repeatedly caught transferring sensitive data, proprietary algorithms, and advanced research back to China.
00:13:31.000 We know it's been going on.
00:13:33.000 No one's ever done anything about it until now.
00:13:37.000 Specifically, guys, the Trump administration is investigating The Confucius Institute, a CCP arm on American campuses across the country which are directly linked to Chinese espionage.
00:13:49.000 Why do we put up with this?
00:13:51.000 They're playing hardball while we're playing t-ball.
00:13:55.000 But the big moves on education don't stop there because the Trump Department of Justice and the Education Department are now opening a Title IX investigation against the states of Oregon and California for allowing men to participate in women's sports.
00:14:12.000 Check out Linda. 0.99
00:14:13.000 I can tell you that it absolutely is against Title IX.
00:14:19.000 Title IX was established so that women had equal place in sports.
00:14:24.000 Doing the opposite this particular time.
00:14:27.000 And we cannot allow women to have to compete against men in sports. 1.00
00:14:31.000 Not only is it unfair to have an unfair advantage physically, but also it's a safety issue as well.
00:14:36.000 When you have seen, you know, Riley Gaines talk about how hard she trained and competed and then was beaten, you know, in her race.
00:14:46.000 She would have clearly won if she'd just been competing against women. 1.00
00:14:49.000 So it was Stephanie Turner who took a knee in her fencing competition rather than face and male. 1.00
00:14:54.000 And it's just we have to realize this is the law.
00:14:58.000 It's Title IX.
00:14:59.000 And I think the attorney general is right to open this investigation.
00:15:02.000 And it just shows that all of the agencies are working together to make sure that life on campus for all students is safe and universities are following the law.
00:15:13.000 Remember, the whole reason Title IX was put into place in the first place was actually to protect women and provide more opportunities in sports.
00:15:23.000 Democrats flipped this whole thing on its head.
00:15:27.000 But that's all changing now.
00:15:29.000 We're getting back to the true purpose of the law and making sure that states that get out of line suffer the consequences.
00:15:38.000 That could mean losing federal funding.
00:15:40.000 Losing their ability to even apply for some types of funding and possibly even threatening accreditation.
00:15:48.000 Some schools from kindergarten through college do seem to be getting the message.
00:15:53.000 For example, MIT this week scrapped their DEI office.
00:15:58.000 Now remember guys, back in March, the Trump administration expanded a civil rights probe into the school over alleged racial discrimination.
00:16:22.000 Now, we'll never understand why they're getting $3 billion in federal funding when they have a $60 billion endowment that they don't pay tax on, but that's a story for another day.
00:16:30.000 But they're likely to lose a lot more, even as courts try to stand in the way.
00:16:36.000 Because today, Yet again, a federal judge put in place an injunction blocking the Trump administration's effort to prevent Harvard University from enrolling foreign students, despite overwhelming evidence that Harvard is refusing to comply with measures under the Federal Student Exchange Visitor Program.
00:16:56.000 and they still don't want to disclose data on foreign students and perhaps more importantly, on foreign funding.
00:17:03.000 But remember, guys, Here's Senator John Kennedy laying out more of the red flags inside Harvard that need to be addressed.
00:17:19.000 Here's what I hear President Trump saying.
00:17:23.000 Harvard is an overpriced indoctrination mill.
00:17:28.000 There are other schools, but Harvard...
00:17:34.000 The purpose of higher education is to make you think, not make you feel comfortable.
00:17:38.000 The purpose of higher education is to teach you a variety of points of view.
00:17:47.000 Harvard doesn't practice that.
00:17:50.000 Harvard practices its faculty and its administration, ideology conformity, ideology capture.
00:17:59.000 And from their point of view, They believe in only certain things and you can't believe in anything else.
00:18:07.000 For example, they believe in racial quotas.
00:18:09.000 Well, they're illegal.
00:18:11.000 Harvard believes in diversity, equity, inclusion, and the right to hurt Jewish people. 1.00
00:18:18.000 Well, that's illegal.
00:18:20.000 Now, they're entitled to believe what they want, but they're not entitled to break the law and still get taxpayer money.
00:18:28.000 These rogue judges do not care what the law says.
00:18:31.000 They seem to care about protecting their friends at Harvard.
00:18:35.000 And speaking of rogue judges, guys, some of them are now apparently saying that the president can't set tariff policy despite statutory authority to do so.
00:18:44.000 However, as we mentioned in the intro, just hours ago, the Fifth Circuit has now ruled and overruled the lower courts.
00:18:54.000 That's a big win.
00:18:56.000 Late last night, the Court of International Trade claimed that the president of the United States Can't use the 1977 International Economic Emergency Powers Act to impose his sweeping reciprocal, right?
00:19:09.000 That means we do to them what they do to us.
00:19:12.000 They can't he can't enact his sweeping reciprocal tariffs on the grounds of a national emergency.
00:19:18.000 The White House then fired back in a statement, and I quote, the idea that the fentanyl crisis in America is not an emergency is so appalling to me that I'm sure.
00:19:33.000 Here's more from the White House podium earlier today.
00:19:37.000 of judicial overreach.
00:19:39.000 Using his full and proper legal authority, President Trump imposed universal tariffs and reciprocal tariffs on Liberation Day to address the extraordinary threat to our national security and economy posed by large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits.
00:19:56.000 The United States has run a trade deficit of goods every year since 1975.
00:20:01.000 In 2024, our trade deficit in goods exceeded One trillion dollars.
00:20:08.000 Everybody agrees this is unacceptable.
00:20:11.000 President Trump is delivering on his promise to fix this problem, and he has taken a long overdue and much needed bold stance for American workers after decades of our manufacturing base being hollowed out.
00:20:25.000 The president's rationale for imposing these powerful tariffs was legally sound and grounded in common sense.
00:20:32.000 President Trump correctly believes that America cannot function safely long-term if we are unable to scale advanced domestic manufacturing capacity, have our own secure critical supply chains, and our defense industrial base is dependent on foreign adversaries.
00:20:47.000 Three judges of the U.S. Court of International Trade disagreed and brazenly abused their judicial power to usurp the authority of President Trump to stop him from carrying out the mandate that the American people gave him.
00:20:59.000 These judges failed to acknowledge that the President of the United States has core foreign affairs powers and authority given to him by Congress to protect the United States economy and national security.
00:21:10.000 Congress had created the National Emergency Act to provide the congressional framework to strike down improper IEPA use.
00:21:17.000 And any questions over whether President Trump improperly imposed these IEPA tariffs were already adjudicated in Congress following Liberation Day.
00:21:25.000 Congress firmly rejected an effort led by Senator Rand Paul and Democrats to terminate the president's reciprocal tariffs.
00:21:31.000 The courts should have no role here.
00:21:33.000 There is a troubling and dangerous trend of unelected judges inserting themselves into the presidential decision-making process.
00:21:39.000 America cannot function if President Trump, or any other president for that matter, has their sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations railroaded by activist judges.
00:21:49.000 President Trump is in the process of rebalancing America's trading agreements with the entire world, bringing tens of billions of dollars in tariff revenues to our country, and finally ending the United States of America from being ripped off.
00:22:02.000 These judges are threatening to undermine the credibility of the United States on the world stage.
00:22:07.000 The administration has already filed an emergency motion for a stay pending appeal and an immediate administrative stay to strike down this egregious decision.
00:22:23.000 And remember, the trade policy is working.
00:22:27.000 Investment is coming back into America.
00:22:29.000 And it's all fully within the law.
00:22:33.000 Here's economic adviser Kevin Hassett on what the regime media doesn't want you to know.
00:22:39.000 Well, actually, I think if President Trump had just a minute more, if you go back into the room behind the Oval, he's got all his hats and things over there.
00:22:47.000 And he has a hat, which is the accurate response to what that person said, which is Trump always wins.
00:22:54.000 A lot of people are wearing that hat.
00:22:55.000 Trump always wins.
00:22:56.000 And Trump was always right.
00:22:57.000 Those are the two.
00:22:58.000 But Trump does always win these negotiations because we're right.
00:23:02.000 We're right that America has been mishandled by other governments, that our tariffs are taking them to the table.
00:23:09.000 They're coming in with massive concessions, opening up their markets to our products and lowering their tariffs on us.
00:23:15.000 And so this trade negotiation season has been really, really effective for the American people.
00:23:22.000 And it's unfortunate that people would attack it as the journalists did or the way the judges just did.
00:23:28.000 You know, these activist judges are trying to slow down something right in the middle of really important negotiations.
00:23:33.000 And the idea...
00:23:44.000 Like I said, the Fifth Circuit has restored some sanity and issued an administrative stay, but there's much more of a legal fight to come.
00:23:54.000 So that begs the question, what does the law actually say on the president's tariff authority?
00:24:02.000 We did a little bit of digging.
00:24:03.000 We did some research, and we found there are several statutes available that allow the executive branch to impose tariffs.
00:24:11.000 For example, the Trade Act of 1974 makes it very clear that the executive branch can impose tariffs if, quote, Furthermore,
00:24:40.000 guys, the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 grants the President authority to impose tariffs when necessary to maintain national security.
00:24:49.000 Seems like you check both of those boxes pretty thoroughly.
00:24:49.000 Huh.
00:24:52.000 And if you go back even further, all the way back to the Tariff Act of 1930, Huh.
00:25:08.000 So, they can put tariffs on us, and they have for decades, and we're not allowed to do anything?
00:25:13.000 We can't even reciprocate?
00:25:15.000 We can't do exactly to these other countries what they do to us? 0.99
00:25:21.000 Seems kind of cut and dry, folks.
00:25:23.000 What world are some of these federal judges living in?
00:25:27.000 We have three co-equal branches of government, not one branch who gets to pretend they know what's best and know better than everyone else.
00:25:36.000 They want to stop deportation of gang members, stop us revoking visas, stop us from combating fentanyl and the crisis that ensues from it, and stop Doge from even uncovering outright fraud.
00:25:52.000 That's what they're trying to do.
00:25:57.000 The rot runs deep, and it's why all of this matters more than ever, because there is an entrenched class of swamp creatures who have, for years and years, created abuse they do not want uncovered.
00:26:12.000 And of course, that includes inside the FBI, because as Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealed this morning on Fox& Friends, they are finding more And more Russiagate documents that Comey wanted buried forever.
00:26:28.000 Check him out on Fox and Friends this morning.
00:26:30.000 Do you read the stuff that's coming out?
00:26:33.000 But does he still have loyalists in the building?
00:26:35.000 Because when I hear the FBI director saying, you guys are finding boxes that are hidden.
00:26:41.000 Okay, how does that happen in the bureau?
00:26:44.000 Well, we were there a couple of weeks, and luckily there are a lot of people up there Grabbed us by the arm the minute we came in and said, "Thank you for being here.
00:26:55.000 You know, we need to talk." There are people there who are really horrified at what happened.
00:27:00.000 And there was a room and we found stuff, a lot of stuff.
00:27:05.000 A hidden room?
00:27:06.000 I wouldn't call it hidden, but hidden from us at least and not mentioned to us.
00:27:11.000 And then we found stuff in there.
00:27:12.000 And a lot of it's from the Comey era.
00:27:14.000 And we are working our damnedest right now to declassify.
00:27:18.000 And just so you know, because I get the public, I totally understand people saying, well, do it now.
00:27:22.000 The process is not all the information is ours to declassify.
00:27:26.000 Some is other intelligence agencies.
00:27:27.000 It's not.
00:27:28.000 We literally can't do it.
00:27:30.000 Once that gets done and that gets out there and you read some of the stuff we found that, by the way, was not processed through the normal procedure, digitizing it, putting in FBI records.
00:27:39.000 We found it in bags hiding under Jim Comey's FBI.
00:27:43.000 You're gonna be stunned.
00:27:44.000 But that's not all, guys.
00:27:46.000 Because according to Kash Patel, the FBI director, the J6 pipe bomb cover-up may run even deeper than we already knew, involving multiple agencies and several layers of cover-up.
00:27:59.000 Check out Kash.
00:28:01.000 But more importantly, people have had questions about January 6th and whether or not there were FBI sources, not agents, sources on the ground during January 6th.
00:28:11.000 And I told you I would get you the definitive answer to that.
00:28:14.000 And we have.
00:28:15.000 And we are in the process, again, of working with our partners to divulge that information.
00:28:19.000 And it is coming.
00:28:20.000 And I will tell you this.
00:28:22.000 The answer to that question will surprise and shock people because of what past FBI leaders have said about it.
00:28:29.000 Former FBI Director Chris Wray eventually admitted to Congress there were 26 FBI confidential human sources in around the Capitol, January 6th, but not actual agents.
00:28:39.000 Can you say that's true?
00:28:42.000 Are there more than that?
00:28:44.000 What you're learning from that?
00:28:46.000 I can say that that is definitely a piece of the truth.
00:28:49.000 Why it took A ton of time and questioning in Congress for the director to get that point is what I'm trying to eliminate from the FBI.
00:29:01.000 If Congress asks you a question under oath, whether or not there were sources in around January 6th at the Capitol, you as the director of the FBI need to know that and not deflect and give a D.C. answer.
00:29:12.000 You have to be prepared for that.
00:29:14.000 And that's the answer we're giving.
00:29:15.000 That's the answer Chris Ray should have given.
00:29:17.000 And eventually everybody's going to know the whole picture.
00:29:20.000 Yeah, because the American people deserve that.
00:29:22.000 And look, no one's more frustrated than me.
00:29:25.000 Remember, I was chief of staff of the Department of Defense on January 6th.
00:29:28.000 We said that we were ready, and the president had previously authorized the National Guard to be there days in advance.
00:29:35.000 I spent two years, a small fortune, grand juries, to testify to the truth.
00:29:41.000 And what happens now, years later?
00:29:43.000 We were right.
00:29:44.000 Bowser and Pelosi rejected that offer.
00:29:47.000 And instead of figuring out how to prevent security lapses like that ever again, the American public spent tens of millions of dollars and countless hours on TV listening to conspiracy theories because those in positions of leadership failed to tell the American public.
00:30:03.000 Now, all of this is yet another reason why we need to codify as much into law as we can.
00:30:09.000 It can't just be an executive order.
00:30:11.000 So it can be...
00:30:18.000 And that's exactly what needs to happen now in the House and in the United States Senate.
00:30:24.000 Check out OMB Director Russ Voigt here talking about just that.
00:30:28.000 I can.
00:30:29.000 We'll be sending that up on Monday or Tuesday whenever the House is back in session.
00:30:33.000 They will get our first rescissions bill.
00:30:35.000 And again, this has been...
00:30:39.000 We want to make sure that Congress passes its first rescissions bill, including the Doge, and we will send more if they pass it.
00:30:47.000 And so this is the first one is foreign aid.
00:30:50.000 USAID cuts, many of the waste and garbage that was funding, not only wasteful but hurting our foreign policy, but also the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and NPR.
00:30:59.000 We'll be sending that up and we'll be working with Congress.
00:31:02.000 And we've had good conversations to make sure that they knew what was coming.
00:31:06.000 They had some input as to changes that could be made to make it something that could pass the House.
00:31:10.000 And we're excited for that to occur next week.
00:31:13.000 And remember, Democrats are pretty much out of answers.
00:31:19.000 They're relying on rogue judges to do the heavy lifting for them because every time these left-wing activists open their mouths about their strategy to win over young men, it sounds like a comedy skit. 0.68
00:31:30.000 It sounds like something you'd see on South Park or Family Guy and maybe even Chappelle Show.
00:31:36.000 Don't believe me?
00:31:38.000 Watch for yourself.
00:31:39.000 I also think it's just so abundantly clear that the people who say these things Don't actually spend time talking to young men.
00:31:51.000 You know this because we know each other in real life, but I spend a lot of time on college campuses.
00:31:56.000 You love young men.
00:31:58.000 I love young men.
00:32:00.000 I love frat guys.
00:32:02.000 And in that, I've realized, like, even the ones that identify as conservative are almost always pro-choice.
00:32:09.000 They're almost always pro-gay marriage. 0.86
00:32:11.000 You'd be surprised at the number of them who support a Black Lives Matter.
00:32:15.000 And so I feel like people just kind of lump them into this box when the truth is, again, a lot of them are with us on the issues.
00:32:23.000 They're just not part of our coalition because they feel like they're not welcomed.
00:32:27.000 Is it hard to believe that this is real?
00:32:30.000 Because it certainly is for me.
00:32:31.000 And that Democrats are this delusional?
00:32:35.000 But this is one of many examples.
00:32:37.000 Another being the mayor of LA, Los Angeles, Karen Bass.
00:32:44.000 From her own ex account, put out this video touting the progress of rebuilding after the California fires.
00:32:52.000 The only problem?
00:32:53.000 The video shows literally, literally one home under construction, surrounded by empty lots.
00:33:02.000 If this is progress, guys, what does failure look like?
00:33:06.000 *music*
00:33:20.000 And the ratio and the comments are incredible.
00:33:24.000 One reads, so in five months not a single home is completed?
00:33:28.000 Another says, as of May 22, 2025, fewer than 10 permits, fewer than 10 permits, thousands of homes burned down, but fewer of 10 permits have been approved by the city of Los Angeles for rebuilding homes in Pacific Palisades after the January 2025 wildfires.
00:33:45.000 I mean, why do residents put up with this?
00:33:49.000 Why will they keep voting for Democrats in California amidst this abject failure?
00:33:54.000 This is one of many, but it's kind of a big one.
00:33:57.000 And that's only one of several major problems, guys.
00:34:01.000 Again, just look at this shocking video from L.A. on Saturday night showing a mob of literally hundreds of vandals attacking police officers and damaging vehicles.
00:34:14.000 What was captured on video over the weekend, people targeting stores, metro trains, and police cars with graffiti and vandalism is just the latest act of chaos that's been going on for months.
00:34:25.000 He says about 15 to 20 underground parties happen every weekend with police and businesses struggling to keep track.
00:34:32.000 We have underage drinking.
00:34:33.000 We have violence coming out of these.
00:34:35.000 There's nothing positive that comes out of this.
00:34:37.000 The LAPD says more than a thousand people spilled onto the streets after an underground party Saturday night.
00:34:47.000 The police response was met with more vandalism and someone throwing a firework at a patrol unit.
00:34:55.000 The LAPD says one officer required medical attention after getting hit with a bottle.
00:34:59.000 I want to know how many of the individuals were identified.
00:35:02.000 I want to know who will be arrested and when.
00:35:04.000 No one was arrested at the scene, but LA Mayor Karen Bass says the LAPD and District Attorney's Office will be looking at the videos to find those responses.
00:35:13.000 Rodriguez says the city needs to go a step further and hold responsible those who are allowing the underground parties to happen.
00:35:20.000 Not one party promoter, not any person granting access to a space to be used has been held accountable for these parties.
00:35:30.000 If L.A. really wants to revitalize downtown L.A. and bring it back to what it was before the pandemic, this needs to be addressed.
00:35:36.000 Rodriguez compares the parties to the street takeovers that have been happening throughout Southern California.
00:35:45.000 Reporting live from downtown Los Angeles, Ted Jen, NBC4 News.
00:35:47.000 But it gets even worse.
00:35:51.000 Look at this footage out of Seattle, where a mob of left-wing activists surrounded a mom with her baby to block her from attending a Christian rally in Seattle, shouting threats, literally, to a baby.
00:36:06.000 Give me some pretty day in the morning! 0.56
00:36:10.000 Give me some pretty day in the morning! 0.56
00:36:12.000 I'm sorry.
00:36:14.000 Oh, my God.
00:36:48.000 Ah.
00:36:48.000 Go!
00:36:49.000 Oh.
00:36:52.000 Jesus.
00:37:12.000 Jesus.
00:37:28.000 Guys, this stuff is sick.
00:37:31.000 Where is the regime media outrage that claims to care about political Now, when it's left-wing activists, when it's left-wing radicals, they're silent.
00:37:46.000 Why isn't every Democrat being asked to condemn this?
00:37:49.000 It's happening in broad daylight.
00:37:52.000 They're not even pretending anymore.
00:37:55.000 Guys, I mentioned Bitcoin in the intro.
00:37:57.000 We just got back from the big Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas.
00:38:02.000 Obviously, my brother and I doing a lot in the space.
00:38:06.000 You've seen what we've been doing with World Liberty Financial, taking on the conventional, traditional finance methods.
00:38:12.000 We got USD1 out there as a stablecoin going great right now.
00:38:17.000 You saw Truth Social literally investing $2.5 billion into a Bitcoin treasury.
00:38:26.000 And then you have what we're doing with the great guys from Hut8, where we're launching American Bitcoin, where we're actually going to be out there mining.
00:38:36.000 Bitcoin.
00:38:36.000 You guys, check it out.
00:38:38.000 Here's some of the stuff that we did on the main stage at Bitcoin 2025.
00:38:43.000 I'm sure you'll want to see it.
00:38:45.000 I had another panel with Chris Pawlowski from Rumble.
00:38:47.000 Try to get some of that in there, perhaps, as well.
00:38:51.000 Talking about, really, crypto being the financial equivalent of what we fought for so hard.
00:38:58.000 With free speech for all these years.
00:39:01.000 So check it out.
00:39:02.000 Learn about it.
00:39:03.000 Read about it.
00:39:04.000 Get involved, even in a small way.
00:39:06.000 Just once you're vested in crypto, even if you have $100 in it, you start paying attention.
00:39:13.000 You start seeing the utility.
00:39:15.000 You create a demand that makes it even more utilitarian.
00:39:20.000 This is gonna be the future.
00:39:22.000 I truly believe that.
00:39:24.000 Check these things out.
00:39:25.000 I think there's so many natural ties.
00:39:28.000 Between free speech, crypto, Bitcoin, blockchain technologies, it all sort of happened at the same time.
00:39:37.000 And what I realized was, I wasn't an early adapter like so many of the people in the room that were here in 2012 or something like that.
00:39:45.000 We were later.
00:39:46.000 We were real estate guys.
00:39:48.000 We were hard assets.
00:39:50.000 We built buildings.
00:39:52.000 It was a little bit nebulous.
00:39:53.000 But the second we got into sort of that political spectrum.
00:39:57.000 All of a sudden, the guy that I could have called two weeks prior in New York and gotten a loan for a building in about five minutes, all of a sudden, that guy wouldn't even take my calls.
00:40:09.000 We're getting debanked.
00:40:10.000 We're getting deinsured.
00:40:11.000 We're getting de-everything.
00:40:14.000 It was pretty brutal.
00:40:16.000 And I came to realize pretty quickly that I will say we were basically at the top of a Ponzi scheme, which was the conventional TradFi financial markets.
00:40:26.000 I just didn't know it because I didn't know any difference.
00:40:29.000 That aspect of finance was always easy to us.
00:40:34.000 We always had that access.
00:40:35.000 But it disappeared like that.
00:40:38.000 And so, like all things, once you're faced with that conundrum, you either just accept it and get pushed off into the darkness or you actually do something proactive about it.
00:40:50.000 To adapt.
00:40:51.000 No different than when I was getting thrown off or my family was getting thrown off or conservatives or anyone who believed in freedom of speech were getting thrown off social platforms.
00:41:00.000 We didn't just say, okay, well, you know, I guess we'll just pack up our stuff and go home.
00:41:04.000 We said, we're going to innovate.
00:41:06.000 We're going to do something different.
00:41:07.000 You know, with me, one of the first things I did was, you know, Dan Bongino linked us up and I think I was the third verified user on Rumble and we fought for that when,
00:41:29.000 And so it was really a product of necessity once you realized, again, how fragile those ecosystems that you took for granted were.
00:41:38.000 So, you know, now, I mean, we're in crypto.
00:41:41.000 We're seriously long crypto.
00:41:42.000 We're seriously long Bitcoin.
00:41:43.000 I mean, everything from You saw the announcement even today.
00:41:50.000 TMTG, True Social, literally creating a Bitcoin treasury to the tune of $2.5 billion.
00:41:59.000 That's a pretty big deal, right?
00:42:01.000 I mean, you know, there's not a lot of people, there's not a lot of people that have done something that big or shown...
00:42:10.000 And, you know, the fake news is going to fake.
00:42:12.000 They're out there saying you're going to use the money for other things.
00:42:14.000 No, we're saying this is what it's for.
00:42:15.000 It's for literally Bitcoin.
00:42:17.000 We're then working with the guys from HUD-8 on the crypto mining side, where we're doing American Bitcoin, forming a group to actually go after all of those things, to create those reserves on the, You have World Liberty Financial because that's going to, in my opinion, you know, DeFi is going to change so many aspects of the financial systems, create the efficiencies that we need that have been lacking.
00:42:48.000 I mean, you know, again, coming from TradFi world, it was like, of course you pay points in and out, and of course you pay a point for, you know, title insurance and all these things that no one's doing anything special for.
00:43:00.000 Like that can be handled with the blockchain.
00:43:11.000 I think we're going to change with all of the support of the people in this room.
00:43:14.000 You guys are on the leading edge of changing the financial markets.
00:43:19.000 And with David Sachs speaking before that, you see people who know what they're actually talking about, creating the regulatory framework within government.
00:43:26.000 I'm outside of government.
00:43:27.000 I'm doing this stuff in the public markets and then the private sector.
00:43:31.000 But guys that actually know what they're talking about as opposed to the usual way of DC is, you know, you've just been there longer, so you get to make all these decisions even though you don't know what you're talking about.
00:43:41.000 We have such an incredible opportunity as a country to capture what I believe and truly believe will be the future of finance.
00:43:48.000 and it's all the people in this room who were frankly probably believers before I ever was, you know, but it took...
00:44:02.000 You know, having that pulled out from us in a system that we thought was pretty good and it worked for us for a long period of time.
00:44:08.000 So it's awesome.
00:44:10.000 And I still truly believe that I know there's guys that have been in this for over a decade.
00:44:14.000 I truly believe we're still at just just the beginning.
00:44:19.000 So the opportunity abounds.
00:44:23.000 So with that, we've covered a lot.
00:44:25.000 Amid the insanity, there are so many good things actually happening in the country.
00:44:31.000 But we need to continue to stay engaged, to stay motivated, to not get complacent.
00:44:37.000 The status quo doesn't change overnight, but it's already changing in a monumental way.
00:44:43.000 That's in part due to audiences like you here on Rumble.
00:44:49.000 So keep getting the message out, guys.
00:44:51.000 Keep fighting.
00:44:53.000 Don't relent to their insanity, and let's keep our foot on the gas pedal, okay?
00:44:59.000 We're in the midterm process.
00:45:02.000 We're already there.
00:45:04.000 We can't say, I like what's going on.
00:45:05.000 I like Trump, but I'm not going to show up to vote, even for some of the squishy Republicans.
00:45:10.000 We can't have radical leftists being the people decide because we're dejected that everyone doesn't do everything we always want.
00:45:17.000 I know it.
00:45:18.000 I get it.
00:45:19.000 Not always easy to say or do in practice.
00:45:22.000 But we have no choice.
00:45:24.000 We have an incredible opportunity to change our country for the good over the next few years.
00:45:29.000 We cannot squander that by sitting at home and letting apathy win.
00:45:33.000 So guys, thanks so much for tuning in.
