How do we respond to that if that were to happen?
I think in the illegal immigration context, aside from not being citizens to begin with, is that they're not being targeted for political reasons because of their political beliefs. It's because they're not legally present here and are costing American citizens more than American citizens should have to pay.
So I think I just see that as a practical apolitical decision enforcing the law as it exists. Now, I think a lot of those people that are here have an argument that the prior administration misled them into being here. And so we'll have to figure out how do we deal with the consequences of that.
I mean, when there's NGOs that are complicit and the Biden administration may be complicit that they might have misled people that, you know, people from Haiti might not have been dying to move to Springfield, Ohio, but might have been told this is your only opportunity and so forth.
And so I think that the, and I think the Trump administration is right to focus on, okay, get out the worst people first and on the immigration side, but also on the immigration side, focus on the NGOs, focus on the government actors who misled a lot of people.
What's going to happen to the NGOs? We have to do something about that. It seems to be almost more than anything, more than January 6th in my, I know it wasn't here to talk about that, but what are we going to do about that?
I think you're absolutely right. And in my view, what I've been urging, I've been saying cut off the money so that like a lot of the jobs, anybody that's a censor, not only should be should be fired, but just cut off the funding. No more funding, not millions of dollars to have censorship operations all around the world.
Like Mike Benz was just discussing with Joe Rogan how our government dollars were being spent to do mass censorship. We got to get rid of that. And I think that we cut off the money. You've cut off the money. You solve 90 percent of the problem.
And that is something cut off from the federal government?
Yeah, almost all this money is coming from United States taxpayers. I mean, it's extraordinary. The U.S. taxpayers since 2015 have been paying to censor the American people. And that's just outrageous.
So it's not, it's just, are there loopholes in the law that could be closed to sort of reduce the probability of this just leaking back?
Yes, I mean, I think we should support Rand Paul's legislation. Rand Paul's legislation would make it illegal for any government employee to ever censor. And that's got to be part of it. Cut off the funds to the NGOs, some deportations, and some select prosecutions. I mean, the cartels are making a lot of money on this.
Some high-ranking people need to face real penalties, just like I think Fauci needs to. Now, I think that's why. I think Biden, look for Biden to include a lot of immigration groups. in his preemptive pardons. It won't just be Fauci. A lot of those Soros-connected NGOs, Bill Gates-connected NGOs, they're going to be included in that list, is my guess.
Oh, interesting. So let's talk about Roger Ver. I'm going to have Aaron Day in here in a second to talk about crypto more generally. What is the story of Roger Ver, and why do you think he needs to be pardoned?
So he's, you know, basically your classic, nice, naive, idealistic American started out as a young libertarian. Roger Ver became known before he's known as Bitcoin Jesus. He was just a young libertarian running for office who was critical of politicians and was particularly critical of high ranking personnel involved in the Waco issues.
And so he was critical of all of that, said our government's out of control. We need to get it into balance. He was warning about things that we now all know about 20 years, but he was doing it 20 years earlier. And so Roger Ver comes out, publicly criticizes it, exposes the fraud that the government was engaged in, the bad conduct at Waco and some other places and Ruby Ridge.
And all of a sudden, he's subject to a very rare federal prosecution. He was prosecuted for not getting the right permit for selling fireworks on eBay, fireworks. This guy served 10 months in federal prison over registering fireworks. One of the only prosecutions of that kind ever heard. That educated him.
He got into Bitcoin, realized Bitcoin could, you know, totally revolutionize the world for financial freedom, but realized that the U.S.
government could come after him if he was critical about how they were trying to, the Intel community particularly, co-opt Bitcoin for its use and not for the use of people who want to have individual financial freedom challenging central planners and central banks. Wrote a book called Hijacking Bitcoin. During this time period, he realized, okay, I'm at risk if I stay in the U.S.
I've already experienced this as a young libertarian, as a 21-year-old. Got to serve time in federal prison over fireworks. So I'm not going to wait around to see what the CIA has in store for me if I stay a U.S. citizen. So he left the U.S., gave up his U.S. citizenship, became a citizen of St. Kitts. did it all legally with the right process. And then he publishes Bitcoin, hijacking Bitcoin.
