I want to go back to the grift.
On your show this week, you had Will Thomas on to talk about Trump's corruption and the dangers of politicians regulating industries they invest in.
When you had done the show, the focus was naturally on crypto, which is where Trump has gained most of his wealth, on paper at least, so far during this first year.
Obviously, that's an industry that should be regulated more.
It's regulated kind of minimally.
I believe since you've taped, we had another news item that came out.
Trump's business, the business that started as Truth Social, which is just basically his blog, and then expanded into crypto.
And I think it also streams some like Don Jr.
's podcast or something.
That business, the podcasting crypto blog business, has merged with a nuclear fusion company.
It was a $6 billion merger.
Nuclear fusion feels like a highly regulated business.
So I think that'd be relevant to your discussion.
Yeah, right.
And to the extent that it was possible at all, they've dismantled the public corruption unit now.
This administration has, which has just accelerated this pre-existing problem.
And on top of that, they released the stable coin, which is the deal that they're doing with, you know, with like where the UAE facilitated it and it's financed from the Chinese guy that's a criminal.
Right.
It's like the notion there is that we're like pegging this fake coin to the dollar, to real currency.
But like the idea that a foreign government would look at it and say, you know, I could take something that's actual currency or I could take the president of the United States meme coin that's pegged to currency.
