Honestly with Bari Weiss
26 Executive Orders, TikTok's Future, and Elon’s Arm

And you could buy heroin or pot or all these things on it back when Bitcoin was barely a thing anymore. And, you know, there's been a lot of fantastic investigative reporting about this. The truth of Ross Ulbricht that you can read from his own logs is he's someone where power went to his head and he started getting obsessed with his own power.

And the reason he is in prison or got this sentence originally, it's not just selling drugs online. Like, I have a fairly liberal view on criminalization of drugs, said he, you know, hired a hitman. to kill people that were a threat to his business. That hitman happened to be an FBI agent and he didn't know it, but, you know, he was arrested because of it.

I think that, you know, there should be consequences for actions. And I think like there's a real question in front of us right now. And that's, you know, is America a country with laws and rules or are we an oligarchy? And I think that freeing Ross is, you know, a sign of the latter in my view.

No, I think that's he's a hero for libertarians and cryptocurrency in general. So I think that's dead on. Peter, any thoughts on Ross?

Well, there's a real question in federal law right now if I'm a man or a woman. My birth certificate says female, driver's license, passport. I've had vaginoplasty. I've been married to a man for 17 years. You know, socially, it's how people treat me. But according to some readings of this, that's a real question. So I want to jump to a really 30,000-foot view here, Barry.

When you are thinking about why did we pass these laws in the first place to allow people like me the ability to change our gender, why did you have so many conservatives back on the day that helped make this state law and federal law?

And the reason is it doesn't help society if you have people like me and you don't give us a road to deal with our mental health issues and integrate back in, right? We should be able to get jobs. We should be able to just blend and go about our day. Like I've been very thoroughly employed for the last 17 years. I pay taxes, happily married.
