Yeah, well, I mean, the message needs to be sent now. If you are making money off these unlawful schemes, don't plan on keeping it because there are laws on the books to claw it back. And that not only goes like, you know, from the federal side. I mean, there are state AGs that start to take an interest in this. And then if SEC does happen to change in a new administration, the world changes again.
But it's not about just punishing the Trump kids or Jared Kushner. If you are a company that is ripping off the taxpayer because you are a party to fast-tracking these no-bid, shady contracts where people are not getting the contracts based on expertise, ability to deliver for the government, then you're out. You're not going to keep that money. I mean, this really is about...
ripping off the taxpayer because when the government gets corrupted, yes, like all the goons make money and people get really mad about that. But the services are sure to decline for the Americans. I mean, we recognize this when it happens in other countries and we laugh at like, oh, the Soviet Union hands out all the money to the goons and like, you know, they're,
they're selling these Potemkin villages, but it is also happening here. Like there's no better illustration than the reflecting pool, right? Like a Trump lackey got the contract to do this egotastic pet project for Trump.
didn't deliver it, ruined the reflecting pool. They smeared anyone who pointed it out. And in the end, taxpayers got ripped off. Like how many times are we going to pay to repave or reline that pool? Probably three or four times by the time this is over. Yeah.
And there are just varying degrees of this, right? Like, the reflecting pool is the most comical. Like, we talked yesterday about the wall project and the amount of money that they're spending, you know, for this stupid wall here through Big Bend. Your interview that you did last week is the first time I'd ever heard it. Like, not only is it a travesty that they're going through the national parks, but the fact that they are building a road where there was no road before. Yeah.
that will make it easier for people to traverse a pass that was previously unpassable. I mean, how stupid, stupid is this?
I think another important question is, what are all the people who are investing in Trump crypto buying? You know, it kind of took me a little while to get my head wrapped around this because the Democrats, you know, they talk about like, oh, it's, you know, another form of dark money. This is so much worse than the dark money that we have previously encountered. I mean, people think dark money in politics is bad because donors would funnel money into like these opaque groups.
But at least when it came to that form of dark money, all the money was sort of kept in groups and within campaigns. What the Trump crypto venture and World Liberty Financial is doing, it is essentially direct deposit into Trump family personal accounts. The money just goes straight to them. There are no caps. There are no limits. There are no controls on where the people could be from. I mean, it is an open door for foreign influence peddling.
If you look at the money they made, it's all in crypto. I mean, more than $1 billion of it was in crypto alone. And this is a form of currency that has no intrinsic value.
Right? So what are they buying? There's kind of this pretense where you can buy a governance token, you can vote in your shares, control how the money is made. Like, that's not true. It's controlled by the Trump family. They get 75% of the money. And so this is just... There are other stupid cryptos that you can invest in with your $100 million. So what are they buying? And what is being sold?
You know, if you look back at the reporting for when the Trump sons kind of started promoting this, they did it. They went on a global tour. They went to Dubai and all these other places abroad to look for investors. And it's pretty apparent that they're saying, like, this is the Trump family coin. Invest in us. It was sort of like presented like the new Mar-a-Lago. But anybody can join. You don't have to go camp out in the patio and, like, rub shoulders and, you know, eat the cheesy drinks and the bad hamburgers. See the duck lips, yeah.
Yeah, you just sent $10 million at a time. The going rate is $100 million, $75 million. That just gets dumped into the Trump account. And when you look at the types of people it attracts, now the Trump sons, their sort of origin myth story is that, well, you know, after January 6th, we were debanked for political reasons, right?
Well, we found out that wasn't quite exactly true over the last two weeks when Capital One came out and said, well, no, we did close over 300 Trump-aligned accounts for money laundering. Money laundering people are the people that are attracted to crypto. I understand that there's reasons to want to escape, like government scrutiny and all the rest. But if you look at the people who are pioneering this currency...
It's people that want to hide their money from the government. And is it like weird that Donald Trump is now big in the crypto business? He used to be skeptical about it. It wasn't until the Trump campaign in 2024, Joe Biden administration was cracking down on crypto. They had an SEC regulator that was pretty interested in cracking down on the crypto. And they realized like we can cozy up to these guys and they will dump crypto.
money into our campaigns. And if we do cryptocurrency, we'll dump money into our accounts. And so that's what's happening. So you have this guy, Bobby Joe, I may not be pronouncing that right, who is flagged for money laundering. There's another Joe, CZ Joe, who dumped a ton into the Trump accounts and got a pardon for his crypto crimes. There's UAE government that's dumping money into these accounts. And so like- Justin Sun-
I want all these questions answered. But to prove this is wrong, I kind of feel like we don't have to. Like this setup is the scandal in and of itself. The UAE dumped a ton of money into World Liberty Financial and then not so long later, they got a chips deal approved. Like just that setup alone should be a reason to shut this down. I know there's some efforts from Congress through the Clarity Act.
And, you know, the Trump administration keeps getting carves out so that we're not going to touch the Trump family. We're not going to do this. You thought he likes to tell people that his other businesses were successful, the golf clubs, et cetera. The money they're getting for this swamps this by two or three times. This is their bread and butter right now. And...
Again, like we shouldn't have to prove a federal bribery scheme every time we look at one of these deals. The fact that they have created a backdoor for foreign entities to just dump money into their personal accounts is scandalous enough in itself.
And I do think people get sort of hung up or distracted by the fact that this seems like a new business venture for the Trump kids. Like it's digital currency. This is something new. No, this is like the same old pay to play bribery, buying influence, foreign corruption schemes. It is just their name on a coin instead of on a building. That's it. Yeah. It's a dark, direct deposit account. Like that's all this is. Don't overcomplicate it. Right.
