Chapter 1: What economic challenges are Americans facing right now?

0.209 - 26.228 Ben Meiselas

As our markets are tanking, as Americans are terrified about what is going to happen with their 401ks and what the economy is going to look like the next day, and Donald Trump's own meme coin, dollar sign Trump, is in the gutter, so is Melania's. What is Donald Trump doing in the White House today? Well, nothing says man of the people like bringing a bunch of billionaire billionaires

0

26.528 - 47.459 Ben Meiselas

crypto bros into the White House to hold a crypto conference. Here's Donald Trump at this crypto conference with the billionaire Bitcoin bros. And he's saying that there were big problems under the former Bitcoin administration. Was he mean to say the Biden administration? Here, play this clip.

47.599 - 64.048 Donald Trump

Institutional finance. under the Bitcoin administration, regulators strong-arm banks. I mean, they really did. They strong-armed banks into closing the accounts of crypto businesses and entrepreneurs, effectively blocking some money transfers to and from exchanges.

64.068 - 91.886 Ben Meiselas

Yeah, this was an incredibly odd conference. Again, as our economy right now is suffering from the effects of Donald Trump's policies, Donald Trump has David Sachs in his crypto czar who talks about how some of the crypto bros there thought that they may be in jail, that they may have been in prison. But here they are in the White House, everybody.

91.926 - 96.75 Ben Meiselas

Yeah, I'm sure this is exactly what's top of your mind right now. Here, play this clip.

96.79 - 99.638 David Sachs

Words. Cameron or Tyler, do you want to?

99.658 - 100.759 Ben Meiselas

You're very shy in front of the camera.

100.779 - 118.906 David Sachs

Actually, Cameron, I think you said something earlier that I thought was really profound. You said that a year ago you thought it would be more likely that you'd end up in jail at the White House. Not to put you on the spot, because you didn't do anything wrong, but that was the environment a year ago. But do you guys want to say something?

121.567 - 123.328 Scott Besant

Sure. That was actually Tyler who said that.

Chapter 2: What happened at Trump's crypto conference?

457.481 - 470.57 Ben Meiselas

We don't want any. One more time. Here is Treasury Secretary Scott Besant saying that we're going to keep the U.S., the dominant reserve currency in the world, and we'll use stable coins to do that. Here, play this clip.

0

470.71 - 485.881 Scott Besant

And we are going to put a lot of thought into the stable coin regime. And as President Trump has directed, we are going to keep the U.S., the dominant reserve currency in the world, and we will use stable coins to do that. Thank you.

All right, I got to tell you, I am obsessed with my Ridge wallet. Before this, I was carrying around a bulky falling apart leather wallet that looked ridiculous in my pocket. It was full of so much crap, old receipts, useless loyalty cards, and honestly, sitting on it was probably why my back hurt. But this Ridge changed the game.

Sleek, modern, insanely durable, made from premium materials like aluminum, titanium, and carbon fiber. It holds up to 12 cards plus cash, and the RFID blocking technology gives me peace of mind knowing my info is secure. Listen, that tap-to-pay technology is super cool, but it also opens you up to digital pickpockets. But with Ridge, I don't have to worry about that at all.

Oh, and it comes over 50 colors and styles, so you could find one that actually fits your vibe. I love this sort of baby blue, sky blue one that I got.

And right now, Ridge is having their once a year anniversary sale.

565.931 - 579.835 Ben Meiselas

No, before that crypto conference, you had the head of FIFA in the Oval Office and someone from NBC was asking Donald Trump a question and Donald Trump says, you're NBC, you're not allowed to ask that question. Let's play that clip right there.

580.016 - 590.839 Unknown Speaker

Mr. President, since you last spoke about it yesterday, some details have come out about your cabinet meeting with Elon Musk and some clashes potentially between Secretary Rubio and Secretary Nunes.

594.056 - 617.271 Donald Trump

And you're not supposed to be asking that question because we're talking about the World Cup. Elon gets along great with Marco, and they're both doing a fantastic job. There is no clash. Mr. President, who are you with? Who are you with? NBC. No wonder. Mr. President, who has more authority, Elon Musk or the cabinet secretary? Any other questions about the World Cup? Can we unbeat the truth?
