	What happens with the fourth turning of its fifth generation warfare?
	A commentator, international social media sensation, and form a Navy intelligence veteran.
	This is human events with your host, Jack McDonick.
	Christ is king.
	At least two people are dead after an Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic church.
	It's the same church the late Pope Francis would call every night from the start of the war until his death in April.
	The church's priest, Father Gabriel Rominelli, was injured in the strike.
	Well, the House has now passed all three of those crypto bills.
	The one on market structure that will go to the Senate, the one on banning the central bank digital currency that will also go to the Senate.
	And of course, the one on stable coins.
	And that one is headed to the White House tomorrow to President Trump's desk.
	We're already hearing that there is expected to be a ceremony to sign it.
	Today, L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna reaffirmed his department's commitment to following state sanctuary laws, even as federal immigration officials ramp up demands.
	Sheriff Luna saying that California law prohibits helping the feds.
	We will only transfer an individual into ICE custody if we are presented with a federal judicial warrant that's signed by a judge.
	Overnight, President Trump calling for his attorney general to release more details in the Epstein case.
	Trump posted on Truth Social saying, quote, based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent grand jury testimony subject to court approval.
	Bondi quickly responding saying, quote, President Trump, we're ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.
	All right, folks, we are back here.
	Human Events Daily.
	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily Live, Washington, D.C. Today is July 18th, 2025.
	Anno Domini.
	Folks, President Trump now going on offense regarding Epstein.
	This Wall Street Journal, ridiculous report dropped last night, late last night.
	Nobody can really make heads or tails of this thing.
	There's some strange letter that's out there that nobody can really seem to have any identification of.
	When we look at the reporter who put it out, you know, this guy, Joe Calazolo, has been running some information on his just Twitter, and I can find scoops from him prior to 2015, all financial related.
	And then suddenly after that, it switches and he's got articles up about Michael Cohen.
	He's got articles about Stormy Daniels.
	He's got so many of these other stories, Elliot Reudy, et cetera, et cetera.
	So, you know, really just a huge switch.
	Looks like he's got some DOJ inside sources.
	Then you got Susan Crabtree, the great Susan Crabtree over at Real Clear Politics saying that he's got, you know, information relating to Fusion GPS and connections to Fusion GPS.
	But at the end of the day, President Trump now going on offense and directing Tambondi late last night to begin the process for unsealing the Epstein grand jury documents.
	I want to bring on now conservative commentator Evita Duffy to kind of weigh in on all this and particularly from the Gen Z angle and how this is all playing out.
	Evida, how are you?
	Good.
	Thanks for having me, Jack.
	Well, this is this, I mean, for a lot of us, you know, this is really something that a lot of us were pushing for, this idea, go on offense, really meet these things head on.
	This has been a sort of interesting play to see for the last 10 days here as it's gone up since the DOJ memo originally happened.
	But what do you think the sense is of the importance of this story when it comes to young voters?
	Well, Jack, there's a deep fascination among young voters with this story, with any sort of deep state conspiracy story, there's going to be.
	And I think this is especially gripping for young people because they've completely lost all trust in the system.
	And this goes for left and right.
	It's bipartisan.
	Really, it's what MAGA is.
	It's why I think Trump has been able to garner so many young supporters is that they realize, young people, that our system's broken, that there are people for some reason in media, in the government, in the intelligentsia class who can get away with literally anything and there are no consequences and justice has really broken down.
	And so I think this is why Trump has been so successful in the past.
	It's why the deep state went after him when he was first elected with the Russia collusion hoax.
	And I think this is the strategy that should have been taken from day one by the admin.
	I'm happy to see it now to say, hey, we're just going to release everything.
	We want to actually get to the bottom of who was Jeffrey Epstein.
	There are so many questions.
	And the Tucker Carlson interview that came out yesterday with Daryl Cooper was great.
	Daryl Cooper has his own podcast on this.
	Whitney Webb has great reporting on this.
	But digging into this story, there's so many questions, right?
	Who is this guy?
	What were his intelligence ties?
	Why did Les Wexner give him a house and give him power of attorney?
	There are so many bizarre instances in Jeffrey Epstein's life, not to mention the sweetheart deal he got and Acosta giving him this deal and then saying, oh, I had to back off because he belonged to intelligence.
	So let's answer these questions.
	And I think this is the right step in the right direction from the admin.
	No, Avida, I think that's exactly correct.
	There's so many questions on this.
	Just like JFK, just like RFK, the assassinations, the fact that we've seen so many disclosures, the ODNI reports that have been coming out, and really making this searchable for people so that they can go in there.
	I love that the Trump administration has been so transparent on so many of those.
	Let me ask you this as well.
	When it comes to Young voters, when we saw that big shift, particularly in 2024, when people say, oh, well, Epstein isn't the number one issue for them, is the issue really Epstein or is the issue strike deeper to the central pillar of what people believe as this elites versus the people kind of situation that's playing out?
	I think, okay, it's interesting that you asked this about, Gen Z, because I've been talking about it for a while.
	There was this TikTok trend.
	It still happens, but it was really big a couple of years ago where people would be on their phones and they'd be like on an embarrassing website or they'd be texting their ex and they'd basically be aware of their FBI agent knowing about it.
	And they almost had like a bizarre relationship with their like FBI agent who was like just able to see everything that they were doing, right?
	And Gen Z is, it's a joke, but the idea is we know that we're constantly being spied on, right?
	There, there was when I went to school in Chicago when the when Jeffrey Epstein was killed, was in his cell, he died, and there was on the, like if you look out over my dorm, you'll see in the snow in Chicago, somebody had walked and written in letters, Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.
	Like it's kind of a joke, but it's also, I think, a symbol that we know very deeply that the system is broken, that there's really no trust.
	And you're right, there has been a lot of disclosure, but I think there really hasn't been any authentic investigation into this and people across generations realize it.
	Bill Barr said in his book that his first concern when Jeffrey Epstein died is, well, I want to make sure that people didn't think that he was murdered in his cell.
	Why is that your first inclination?
	As somebody in his position, it should be, let's investigate this and see, was he potentially murdered?
	If we don't know, we should be exploring all the options.
	That clearly did not happen by Bill Barr's own admission.
	This is what people are asking for.
	Well, and so how do you think then the Gen Z, seeing as this is so viral, seeing as the meme is so big, that it will react to hearing the new shift to go on offense regarding all this?
	Well, I think a lot of trust has been broken initially.
	I mean, the response has been bizarre and you've covered it on your show, Jack, extensively.
	I think the phase one Epstein files did a lot of damage.
	I don't know what the strategy was there.
	I have a feeling that maybe there was no strategy.
	It was just a blunder on the part of Pam Bondi.
	Then you have internal conflict with Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi and potentially Cash Patel.
	And so there's a lot of confusion and mistrust.
	But I think if we actually start to see the release of files, if we start to get some clarity on who this person was, that can all be rebuilt really quickly.
	But I don't think that it should be a surprise to anyone that right now a lot of trust has been broken.
	If you just look at what was the theme of the turning point conference that they just had, where you had thousands of young conservatives who were clearly furious at the lack of disclosure that they had felt promised to them by the president in the last election cycle.
	Well, I think it's something that a lot of people are asking for.
	A lot of people were hoping to get.
	And it looks as though going on offense is exactly where the president's at right now.
	We're coming up on a quick break.
	I want to hop out there real quick.
	By the way, of course, you know, those embarrassing websites, of course, Vita, that would never be anything that you were looking at, you know, personally, of course, as you mentioned, right?
	That's just for the meme, right?
	Definitely not.
	But Jack, I mean, I think that some people will say, oh, well, who cares?
	Like they're not spying.
	I'm not doing anything wrong.
	Who cares if they're spying on me?
	And you never know what you can be doing that can be used against you.
	There's another story here about how the expectation of privacy is just, it just doesn't exist for Gen Z. And it's like a joke.
	And millennials and Gen Y kind of lost it as we got older.
	But for Gen Z, it's like a joke.
	Privacy doesn't exist.
	And I think that's probably where it's going to go coming forward.
	Boomerang's boys right.
	Talk about influencers.
	These are influencers.
	And they're friends of mine.
	Jack Selvik.
	Where's Jack?
	Jack.
	He's got a breakdown.
	Ridiculous cases all throughout the country in 2023 and 2024.
	And by the way, I'll even go a step further.
	You got Douglas.
	I thought this was a meme.
	I just saw this.
	Douglas Murray is up there in the New York Post last night.
	He's got a thing.
	Post 1145 p.m.
	It says, How many voters really care about Jeffrey Epstein?
	How many voters really care about Jeffrey Epstein?
	This is an actual guy from the New York Post, from Douglas Murray.
	Have you ever been there?
	Have you been to the crossing points?
	No.
	When were you last there at all?
	I've never been.
	You've never been?
	Have you ever been to Epstein Island, Douglas?
	This is ridiculous.
	It's so and they're treating you like fools.
	They're treating the American people like fools.
	They're treating the MAGA movement like fools.
	And let me tell you something.
	MAGA hat stays on.
	All right.
	The MAGA hat stays on.
	The MAGA hat is fully on.
	We're locked in.
	We're focused.
	And we'll see.
	We'll see, guys.
	Give us your best shot because we ain't going anywhere.
	All right, Jack Fesopic back live here.
	Human events daily.
	Yeah, we have fun.
	We have fun.
	I'm not really sure what that New York Post article was about about telling people that they shouldn't care about Jeffrey Epstein.

	I want to get Evita Duffy back in here, conservative commentator.
	And, you know, Evida, we're talking about the Epstein situation and, you know, Douglas Murray.
	And he was telling us that he has, have you ever been?
	Have you even ever been to Epstein Island?
	And it's just so strange that he would write an article.
	What is it with these guys?
	Why do they not want us talking about Jeffrey Epstein?
	Well, it's a good question, Jack, because I mean, the argument that he's making is nobody else cares.
	My question is, why doesn't Douglas Murray care?
	Like, I am suspect of anyone who is downplaying Jeffrey Epstein, who is pretending like the American people don't care about him.
	And it's not just the abuse of young girls, which he, of course, engaged in.
	It's also the massive financial crimes.
	Nobody knows where his money came from.
	Like, this is a multi-billionaire who's like a high school dropout or a college dropout.
	He had a, you know, a high school teacher for a little bit.
	He had impropriety and was fired.
	I mean, nobody understands how this man made his money.
	Nobody understands really a lot about him.
	And clearly he was a criminal and who got away with a lot.
	And it just, it's very suspect anybody who would say, I don't care about this or the American people don't care about this, because obviously we do.
	Well, yeah, no.
	So, you know, it's like, no, I've never been to it there, but it's, it's just, it's such a ridiculous premise.
	And by the way, so that, you know, I was going to bring this up and I wasn't planning on talking about Douglas Murray today, but, you know, he's someone who I think absolutely be clowned himself on Joe Rogan.
	But in particular, you know, he was talking about this argument regarding Israel.
	Now, I've been to Israel, been there multiple times.
	I've been a lot of places.
	And, but I don't also think that you have to go somewhere to be able to comment on something.
	But I've never been to Gaza.
	Now, Evida, this huge story that came up really after, it was, I started seeing it before the show yesterday.
	After the show, it absolutely exploded.
	We hear President Trump called B.B. Netanyahu, chewed him out.
	Pope Leo's out talking about this.
	Tell us what happened yesterday.
	This Catholic church in Gaza seems to have been struck.
	And I see we have a photo of it.
	I want to get a photo of the damage, guys, if we can get that photo up of what there it is now.
	What exactly do we know and what has been the aftermath?
	Yeah, so I mean, some parishioners have died.
	I believe the number is three.
	Others have been injured, including the parish priest there.
	I mean, what's happened is horrific.
	And Israel, of course, is a subsidized state.
	The American people hand over to Israel nearly $4 billion every single year.
	And that's not even including what we've given them since the war against Hamas broke out.
	So we give them all this money, and there should be some expectations that come with that.
	This is why I think it was a great thing that the president called Netanyahu after this attack.
	Some of those expectations should be, hey, let's not bomb the only Catholic church that exists in Gaza.
	Maybe let's not attack Christians, a Christian village in the West Bank.
	This is all something that's happening.
	Another thing, and Mike Huckabee, who is a massive supporter of Israel, has just brought this up.
	I think the article came out today.
	You shared it, Jack, where we're seeing Israel for some reason not granting visas to Christian pilgrims.
	I mean, we are a Christian country.
	America was founded as a Christian nation.
	There are very clear, obvious expectations that you're going to protect the Christian community and welcome Israel, the Holy Land, to Christians as the state of Israel who receives billions and billions of dollars from the Christian American people.
	And I'm really happy that President Trump called him up and reasserted that expectation that very clearly should be there for Israel.
	Well, and this is something too, where, look, I went viral last month, one month ago, saying these Middle Eastern wars always inevitably lead to dead Christians.
	It always seems to be something that turns out one side or the other, whether it's a Christian village or whether it's a strike like this or another, it always seems to end in dead Christians.
	And this is something why I certainly have been calling for a lot of skepticism, a lot of restraint when it comes to these various activities that the United States always seems to be in back of or in support of in the Middle East.
	And of course, neocons lost their mind on me when I said that and were screaming at Baslavik doesn't know what he's talking about.
	I said, well, here you go.
	One Catholic church in Gaza, it gets bombed, the parishioners killed, and we're struggling for answers.
	And Cardinal Pizza Valla, by the way, one of the individuals who was presumably or we're told reportedly in the running when we were over there at the conclave for the Pope, he is even outspoken on this.
	Evido, we've got to run.
	Final word to you.
	We've got one minute left.
	I mean, we already know that Muslims have decimated Christian communities all across the Middle East.
	We don't need it to be happening from the state of Israel, who again is funded by the Christian American people.
	And you're right, Jack, there is a pattern here.
	Every time that we get involved in some sort of conflict in the Middle East, Christian communities are decimated.
	It's happening in Gaza.
	It's happening in Syria.
	It's happened in Afghanistan and Iraq.
	And it will continue to happen if we don't radically change course foreign policy-wise.
	It's as simple as that.
	Avida Duffy, where can people follow you?
	Avida Duffy underscore one on X and on Instagram.
	Thanks for having me, Jack.
	Of course, and Avida, can you respond, by the way, to these rumors that you went to a lumberjack competition last night?
	I did go to a lumberjack competition.
	The Lumberjack World Championships, you can watch it on ESPN 3, I think, but it's a great time.
	Log rolling, speed climbing, boom running, chopping, sawing.
	So yes, I was there live.
	Where is Jack?

	Now, folks, I got to get on our next guest, Mike Lindell.
	You know him as the CEO of MyPiller.
	Usually we just have him on to walk through deals, to tell you what's going on, the great summer savings.
	But Mike, I got to ask you, man, this Stephen Colbert news, we saw, I was heartbroken.
	My wife, my children, we held our hands and we said prayers for the guy.
	I got to ask you, are you doing okay?
	What is your reaction to this heartbreaking news that Stephen Colbert's show has been canceled?
	Well, funny to say that, Jack.
	I just did my whole Lindell show, my Mike Lindell show on Lindell TV.
	It was all about Stephen Colbert and the late night hosts.
	Of the late night host, by the way, if you're just, if you haven't heard, Stephen Colbert is canceled by CBS.
	It's over.
	The end is near.
	And of all the, you know, back in the day, everybody, you talk about late night hosts.
	I knew Jay Leno and, you know, I know Jay Leno and stuff.
	And back then, it was a, they would bash political things, no matter who was doing something stupid.
	They would just make comedy out of it, but it wasn't filled with hate and just one-sided.
	Of all the late night hosts, Stephen Colbert, I believe, was filled with so much hate.
	And that includes not just Donald Trump, includes against me, Jack you, every, anyone that maybe didn't have, for me, it was speaking out about the 2020 election and the getting rid of the voting machine.
	But I'll tell you, you know, I ended my show and I said, I'm really am going to play, pray for Stephen Colbert because no one should have that much hate inside him.
	And like you and I were talking, Jack, he actually, you can tell he feels bad.
	He's getting canceled.
	And I, you know, I'm not here.
	My wife said, no, don't go on and be and be humble.
	And I am going to try and be humble because my pillow that he attacked relentlessly and tried to destroy my pillow and myself and even had my employees in one of his little skits to defame them and go after them.
	We're here by the grace of God, by God's grace that we've gotten through.
	And I feel bad for him in the fact of who he is and what he has inside him, because it's got to be so miserable, Jack.
	And am I happy to see him go?
	Absolutely, because I say that being put out every night, not just him, but the other hosts, your Jimmy Kimballs of the world, and to be put this stuff out.
	What it does, it brainwashes people over here or it, you know, that's all you're seeing.
	And you combine that with the fake news out there, and it's just horrible.
	That's why we're in such a better place now years later now, four and a half years later, because our voices have gotten so much bigger.
	Even our friends that are on the left or people that were on the left, even family members now are seeing different things from different platforms now, social media platforms and all these things that have sprung up because hearing that one side.
	And then it's really hard, Jack, when you see what we've went through for Donald Trump brought us to a great place in December of 2019.
	Everybody's lives had improved the highest consumer confidence in history.
	Then they shoved the China virus at us and then the stolen election of 2020.
	And then we watched four years, our country just get destroyed and our lives and everybody's lives.
	I don't care if you were in the street all the way to four forkers, your lives went down.
	You're seeing, hey, this is not good.
	In a few short months here, everybody has started to improve and you see it and you can't deny that.
	I really think CBS, it's not funny anymore to anybody, the stuff that he was putting out because people are going, well, wait a minute, he's doing good things.
	These things are getting done.
	You know, I mean, it's no, this is disgusting what they've done and what he's done.
	No, it is disgusting, but you mentioned four years.
	I want to do something because, Mike, the crack team here at Human Events Daily, we've gone back into the archives and we've actually dug up something that I believe is your first ever cable news appearance all the way back in 2012, 13 years ago.
	And I want people to see this.
	We'll play it in full.
	It's about a minute and a half.
	And I want people to see that Mike Lindell has not changed a single word of what he says today to what he was saying in his very first appearance.
	Guys, let's play it.
	I do all my own manufacturing.
	We went from 40 employees to 360 in the last three months.
	Who do you hire now, Bernie Tony?
	The kinds of people you hire?
	We hire every people that have problems.
	I got a foundation now.
	I used to be an addict to a drug addict.
	What kind of drugs?
	Crack cocaine.
	Oh, crack, huh?
	Crack, yeah.
	So I've got a foundation.
	I stopped doing cocaine before they invented crack.
	Yeah, it's two different drugs.
	Cocaine is way different than crack.
	Yeah, I know.
	Because you change the molecular structure or whatever.
	And my foundation is actually going to help the unreachable to reach up.
	So you can say you get to addicts and so on to make your pillows.
	Yeah, we have the ones that, you know, we got, you know, we'll hire, you know, we hire people to help them to give them jobs and to get them back on their feet.
	And everyone in my company has a pillow, so they believe in the product.
	They believe where we're going.
	What a great story.
	Yeah, and now we're going to buy up.
	I want to start buying the cotton fields because China's buying our cotton fields and taking our cotton from us.
	Do you have a new babe yet or no?
	No, I don't.
	I don't.
	No, I'm eligible.
	I wouldn't think you'd have a problem at this point.
	Well, you're a fascinating guy.
	It's a great story.
	Good for you.
	It's been fun.
	And God bless you.
	Continue.
	Good luck and all that.
	I know you're doing good stuff.
	Plus the pillow works.
	What are you going to do?
	Yeah.
	You know, it's helping so many people, and it really does, like you say, create some miracles.
	I'll start getting a couple of your guys back that actually gets you.
	Oh, no.
	Believe me, I wouldn't.
	I've been around a lot.
	Don't do anything I don't want to do.
	All right, man.
	Thank you.
	Michael Lindell, my pillow.
	12 minutes down to Leon.
	Now, Mike, that's an incredible, the great Don Imis, by the way.
	I missed in the morning, for folks who don't know.
	Not only is that an incredible clip, you hit every single piece of what you usually talk about, the recovery, the systems, but you even went off on China buying up the farmland.
	That's right.
	And yes, everybody, China helped us.
	They're the ones behind.
	When people say, Jack, who stole the 2020 election and who's behind all this stuff?
	It's China, or the CCP, the UNA party, the deep state globalists.
	I haven't changed.
	And you're right.
	I haven't changed from back then.
	Back then, I've seen a problem.
	There was a problem back then.
	I was in, I had was buying U.S. cotton.
	I'm going, why is China getting all this stuff?
	And I brought it up.
	And so, you know, just like I am now, I think that's why, Jack, I think that's why when they started attacking me because I went all in for the elections and the president, I didn't change.
	I've never changed.
	I'm as transparent.
	That's why I think Imos and I got along so good.
	He was my first person, first host I ever dealt with.
	And he took me under his wing.
	We became very good friends.
	And he just liked the fact.
	I just put it out there and I haven't changed.
	I didn't change when the people started attacking me and getting canceled, the box stores getting sued by the machine companies and all this stuff.
	I didn't change.
	They did.
	And I've said it on my show.
	Why wouldn't you ask me, these late night hosts, why wouldn't you say, hey, come on our show and show us what you have.
	Tell us what you have.
	And, you know, Jack, just the other day when my Pillow won the big lawsuit in Colorado, I got out there and I questioned these outlets, these news outlets.
	I said, you guys, you know, here's, I've lived the American dream on steroids, going from a crack addict to building this huge company with me in the USA.
	And you can't do that anywhere else.
	It's been going from here to here, our freedoms we have in this country.
	And I said to those newscatchers, why do you continue to attack my pillow and me when you should be holding these voting machine companies accountable?
	I said, what is your last name?
	And I said, one of the last names of the machine.
	I don't get it, Jack.
	I don't get it.
	Why?
	And these late night hosts, I don't care if they're on the left.
	Why would they attack a company like Stephen Colbert?
	Keep going after my pillow.
	Because why?
	They want Mike Lindell and they want us all to shut up and they don't want to see that this is a country for the people, by the people, and one nation under God.
	No, I couldn't agree more.
	Mike, just on the China and just on the farmland situation, because obviously you're someone as a retailer, you're going to cotton.
	Obviously, you moved over with Giza, but you're in the industry.
	Tell us, what were you seeing China doing then?
	And has the situation, as we, it seems, has it gotten progressively worse since in the decade plus?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And our cotton here in the U.S., I buy that too.
	We have subpima here and other stuff.
	Certain things are better to make with certain items.
	The Giza cotton's the best sheets in the world.
	My towels are made with southern cotton.
	My pillows are made with subpima cotton from California.
	So we buy all these.
	We know cotton real good, Jack.
	And China buying farms, buying the cotton.
	You know, it wasn't just cotton fields.
	As you know, they were buying other stuff.
	I just happened to know the cotton because I was in that, I'm in that space.
	But then you have good things going on where that's getting stopped.
	I think it's Arkansas where they're one of the first states to stop them from buying all this or maybe even buying it back from them.
	But it was a problem.
	This is like, I couldn't believe you dug that up.
	2012.
	It was really as I came into, I always look at every part of the industry I'm in and going, okay, what?
	There's a problem here.
	You know, I mean, if they do this, if this continues on, I'm going to be answering everything to China.
	And I was trying to get away from everything made in China, you know, and this like problems we have now.
	And, you know, I'll throw Canada into the mix.
	Canada right now, but everybody has tariffed all betting products.
	So this tariff's been since the spring, you know, all betting products.
	You know, is that a direct attack on my pillow?
	I don't know.
	I mean, Trudeau did this back then, and he told me if I make a plant, he'll quit tariffing.
	He's a liar.
	He didn't do it.
	So this stuff goes on and on.
	But China's the worst.
	And we have to make moves now, not just with our election platforms, but as you know, Jack, with our farmland, with everything, everything they've come in here to take from us or to take over.
	Like we're living inside a big Trojan horse, if you ask me.
	No, that's absolutely clear.
	By the way, we do have a box up.
	President Trump is going to be signing this genius act into it.
	We'll make it the genius bill very soon.
	And we know that the room is filling up.
	Real America's voice.
	We'll be taking that live when it happens.
	We could see JD Vance coming in there.
	I believe that's Speaker Johnson who's coming in.
	So it looks like President Trump is going to be standing.
	So it looks like he'll be coming in very, very shortly.
	I think I see Secretary of State Rubio, a number of senators.
	Looks like Senator Marino, who was just on the program.
	But Mike, you know, just in the last minute and a half before this really gets off, walk us through, you know, walk us through how all of this has led to, you know, just a resurgence for MyPillow and a great savings gap for us this summer.
	Right.
	You guys, you know, MyPillow, winning that big lawsuit and the first one, we took it all the way to jury trial against these machine companies.
	My pillow won, 100% vindicated.
	That was a big breakthrough for us.
	And my pillow, they've done everything to destroy myself and my employee own company.
	You guys have helped get us through because we had a lot of inventory that were earmarked for the box stores.
	One of them was our Giza Dream Bed Sheets, the president's favorite product of MyPillow, by the way.
	We're going to run that using your promo code Pozo, running it for $49.98.
	This is it, though.

	Promo code pozomypillow.com.
	President Trump be out very, very soon.
	back.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	We work hard.
	It's a very important act.
	The Genius Act, they named it after me.
	This is a Helman Act.
	You know, I did something very unusual.
	I said, this has been something that's been, a lot of people thought it was impossible.
	Some of the things that have been done, then of course the great, big, beautiful, I hated the word great, the great, big, beautiful bill.
	That was something that nobody thought possible.
	They thought it would be in anywhere from seven to maybe three, I'll go the opposite direction, but three to seven different bills.
	And we said, let's just put it in one because this way there's something for everyone.
	And there really is, there's a lot of things for everyone.
	And when we get the word out how great that is for every single person in this country virtually, and all they have is a soundbite, death.
	You know what their soundbite is, death.
	Aren't they nice, death?
	They are the most incompetent people.
	They've lost their confidence.
	They've lost everything if you think about it.
	But Jasmine Crockett is on her way.
	She's on her way.
	She's the new star of the Democrat Party, Jasmine Crockett.
	They're in big trouble.
	But I have to tell you, that was great.
	This was great.
	I'm so tired of making phone calls at 2, 3, 4 o'clock in the morning, getting calls from our great speaker.
	Sir, we have 12 hard notes.
	I say, Mike, Mike, it's 2 o'clock in the morning.
	We have 12 hard notes.
	The good news is I call up.
	Hello, Jim, how are you?
	Sir, you have my vote.
	Sir, you have my vote.
	I really just, they just want a little love.
	Unfortunately, it's always the same 12 people.
	for And I actually said to John Thuner and I said to Mike, I said, listen, I want to have a party, but not to those people that I have to speak to endlessly every time.
	And they're wonderful because they always seem to come through other than a couple.
	Rand Ball Jr. from Congress and Ren Ball from, other than a few people.
	But I said, I want to have them over.
	We're going to have a party for everybody in Congress, everyone in Congress except 12.
	And Mark has done, Tom, I'll tell you what, Tom has definitely counted.
	The whole group, where are those 12 people?
	They're the only people I have.
	And I would say of the 53 senators, 48.
	We're going to have 48 in here.
	You won't even have to come to that one.
	But these are the greatest people because they always vote yes and we don't have to go crazy.
	You trust us.
	We trust you.
	That has been a very special group of people.
	We really do.
	I mean, 96% phenomenal and 4% extremely difficult.
	But they get there, most of them, not all of them.
	Those are the ones we really don't like.
	But I want to thank you all for being here.
	This is really a big day.
	This afternoon, we take a giant step to cement American dominance of global finance and crypto technology as we sign the Landmark Genius Act into law.
	So congratulations to everybody.
	This is a big deal.
	They've come a long way since the Biden administration when they had no idea what you were all talking about.
	And half of you were under arrest for no reason.
	For no reason.
	And we want to have it, not China, China.
	We had a little problem with Japan on trade, but he was my ambassador to Japan.
	And I went to Japan, and he is speaking fluently Japanese.
	I said, did you learn it as a child?
	No, no, I just learned it over the last four or five months.
	I said, you learn Japanese.
	Maybe the single hardest language to learn.
	It's actually breathing rather than breathing.
	I'm not going to imitate it because we'll end up with a big story and I don't want that.
	But he spoke totally fluent Japanese.
	I said, that's very impressive.
	And he was introducing me to Mr. Honda.
	I said, oh, are you in the car business?
	He goes, yes.
	I said, you're a very rich man.
	And then he said, Mr. Toyota, right?
	Toyota.
	And I said, what business are you in?
	Let me guess.
	He said, cars.
	He was my interpreter.
	And I was so impressed.
	And I was getting ready to leave.
	He said, sir, I'd like to run for the United States Senate.
	I said, where are you from?
	He said, Tennessee.
	I said, well, I love Tennessee, but do they know you there?
	No, but if you endorse me, I'll win, right?
	And I endorsed him, and he took a 48-point lead.
	And they didn't know who the hell he was.
	And he's turned out to be a great senator.
	And now they all know who you are.
	Yeah, so you are.
	You're fantastic.
	And we thank you.
	And just the fact that you're doing this and you understand this is a complicated world.
	And you understand it, Bill.
	So you've been great.
	Thank you very much.
	We're also pleased to be joined by our great vice president, J.D. Vance.
	J.D., thank you very much.
	Good job.
	And he's been up speaking late at night on the phone.
	I said, J.D., but you take three or four of these people, please, because three or four I cannot speak to.
	I just can't.
	And he'd take them and he'd come through, right, J.D.?
	Also, Speaker Mike Johnson.
	He is unbelievable.
	He's an unbelievable.
	I mean, if you go by what we're doing, if you keep at this pace, you can't keep it up for another 200 days.
	But I will tell you this.
	If you keep up this pace for another week, you go down as the greatest speaker in the House in history.
	So one more week.
	One more week.
	Who needs Tip O'Neill?
	Who needs Tip O'Neill?
	He's better looking than Tip O'Neill, too.
	But no, he's been going at a fervent pace.
	Would you say that's right?
	Your wife probably says, you are crazy.
	You've been aging beautifully at front.
	He's an amazing, actually, he's an amazing speaker, a great leader, and everybody likes him and respects him.
	And that's why we're with a very small majority, like three.
	We had a time when we were one.
	Remember?
	We said we're one heart attack away from losing the House.
	Then we won a couple of seats and a couple of other, now we have seven, maybe.
	Maybe if we're lucky, seven.
	But we win with, nobody's ever done, I don't think anyone's ever done this before, to win with those small, we had a little help from Tom, too, right?
	And a lot of other people.
	I want to introduce also Secretary Howard Luttnick, who's been fantastic.
	You have done a great job, Howard.
	We've got trade deals coming out of our ears, right?
	We've got so many trade deals.
	They're all calling so many.
	And I really mean this too.
	It's like, how do you deal with so many?
	But, you know, I always say when we send out the paper, that was a deal.
	They don't want the, fake news doesn't want to hear that.
	When I send out the paper that you're paying 35 or 40 percent tariff, that's a deal.
	Then they'll call and see if they can make a little bit different kind of a deal, like opening up their country to trade.
	In some cases, they've never been opened.
	But we're doing well and we have a couple of big ones to announce pretty soon, right?
	Could almost do it today.
	Maybe we'll say it, maybe later on we'll do it.
	Senator Bernie Marino, a great victory Bernie had.
	Great victory.
	A great victory.
	That was one of the truly tough races.
	A lot of people weren't sure anybody could win that seat, and you won it in easy fashion, right?
	We won it together when you think of it.
	But you won it in easy fashion.
	You did a great job.
	Great guy.
	House majority whip.
	This is a great leader, Tom Emmer, a great politician and leader.
	Really good.
	And I like his wife even better.
	His wife is, she's the boss, but you are married to a fantastic woman, huh?
	And he knows that.
	And he likes hearing it because some people don't.
	They say, sir, could you please stop saying that my wife is better than me, sir?
	Those are guys that don't usually end up with a good marriage, you know?
	He's got a great marriage.
	So thank you, Tom.
	You really are a fantastic leader and representative.
	And Representatives Troy Downing, French Hill.
	Where's French Hill?
	Where is French Hill?
	You have been so great.
	Thank you, French.
	I spoke to him a little late.
	He was walking down the hall.
	I said, French, he said, I'm there, sir.
	You are great, great, great guy.
	Everyone respects you, French.
	You know that.
	Bill Heisinger.
	Bill, thank you very much.
	Thank you very much.
	Good job.
	Dan Muser, I thought he was going to become the next governor of Pennsylvania, but he likes Congress better, I guess.
	So, but I think you're terrific, and you know, I would have always been behind you, that I can tell you.
	Tim Moore, Tim, thank you, Tim.
	John Rose, John, hi, John.
	Thanks.
	Good job.
	Brian Style?
	Brian?
	Style?
	Still young?
	Still nice and young.
	That's good.
	G.T. Thompson, GT.
	Thank you.
	Andy Barr, good friend of all of ours.
	Thank you, Andy.
	Monica De La Cruz.
	Monica, she's here someplace.
	Thank you, Monica.
	Thank you, Monica.
	Mike Haradopoulos.
	Mike.
	Thank you, Mike.
	Look good.
	Mike Lawler, Mr. Salt.
	Well, it should guarantee your district.
	I mean, you worked hard for New York, right?
	And you're on television.
	I'm on television, so this should be good for a couple of points.
	But without you and your couple of friends from New York, that wouldn't have happened.
	That was not easy, right?
	Congratulations.
	Great job.
	Anna Paulina Luna.
	Anna, who is so great.
	I don't even if she's here or not here, but I want to tell you that she has been so great and worked so hard to make sure we got it approved.
	Ralph Norman.
	Ralph?
	Ralph, what happened to Ralph?
	Nick Begich.
	Nick, thank you, Nick.
	Good job.
	Good job.
	Good votes.
	I just saw a great poll on you, huh?
	Very good.
	Congratulations, Nick.
	Andy Ogles.
	Andy?
	Terrific friend.
	Beth Van Dyne.
	Beth?
	Thank you, Beth.
	Great job.
	Thank you.
	Thank you very much for the great support.
	Roger Williams, a great baseball player who also had to take a bullet, unfortunately, but he is a great guy.
	He was involved in that whole catastrophe, but he's fantastic and has been from day one, along with a lot of other people that I won't call out because I have no idea where the hell you are.
	I think I saw Jason here somewhere.
	Where's Jason?
	Oh, it's lucky I called him.
	Ooh, it's lucky.
	They didn't put your name because I invited you at the last moment, right?
	He was over there doing some business in the White House.
	But you've been incredible in your position.
	Nobody knows more about taxes and finance than you do, so we appreciate it, right?
	Is that true, Howard?
	It's true.
	Thanks, Jason.
	Great job.
	And you'll help out with that other matter.
	You make him so strong and powerful, right?
	Along with Deputy Secretary of Treasury, Michael Falkander.
	Where's Michael?
	Good, Michael.
	How are you?
	Good.
	You'll help out over there, okay?
	And Ambassador Ken Howry.
	Ambassador?
	Thank you, Ken.
	Great job, Ken.
	I also want to recognize some of the countless industry leaders here today, including Brian Armstrong of Coinbase.
	You've done a good job, Brian.
	That's a big deal.
	Dave Ripley of Kraken.
	Dave?
	Thank you, Dave.
	Jeremy Alaire of Circle.
	This is a big day.
	Good job.
	Good job, Jeremy.
	Paolo Ardino of Tether.
	Paolo.
	Paolo, thank you, Paolo.
	Ryan McInerney of Visa.
	That's a good company.
	Thank you.
	Chris Pavlovsky of Rumble.
	Chris?
	What happened to your location, Chris?
	You're always a front row guy.
	You're just being nice today, I think.
	How's Rumble doing?
	Good?
	Good.
	If Rumble's doing good, that means truth is doing good.
	Truth.
	That's great.
	You're doing a great job.
	Thank you, Chris, very much.
	Vlad Tenf of Robin Hood.
	Vlad, thank you, Red.
	Thank you, Vlad.
	Good.
	Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss.
	These are two smart, handsome guys.
	They got the whole package.
	They're of Gemini, but they have the whole package.
	They're of a lot of things, actually, but Gemini is just the one for today, right?
	They've got the look.
	They've got the genius.
	Got plenty of cash.
	And it's great that you're on our side.
	You guys are great.
	I can never tell them apart, but their mother can.
	I ask, can your mother tell you apart?
	And the answer is yes, right?
	Easily, or is it tough for her?
	Easy, I think.
	You guys have been great.
	Thank you very much.
	It's great to be with you.
	Let me say the entire crypto community, for years, you were mocked and dismissed and counted out.
	You were counted out as little as a year and a half ago.
	But this signing is a massive validation.
	And even before this signing, over the last year, year and a half, I think your stuff has gone up more than any stock, or just about more.
	A couple of stocks that were pretty good, I will say.
	But you have certainly as an industry gone up more than anybody.
	Nobody's gained the respect in such a short period of time.
	But this signing is a massive validation of your hard work and your pioneering spirit and your ability to never give up.
	Because a lot of people would have given up two, three years ago.
	So I want to thank you for contributing to the incredible strength of America.
	This is going to make it stronger.
	And congratulations on this incredible achievement.
	You've made our dollar look really good and strong and powerful.
	It's good for the dollar and it's good for the country.
	And that's why I backed you at an early stage.
	And I also did it for the votes because you did come out and vote.
	And they changed tune, you know, Biden's team, they changed tune right in the middle of the campaign.
	All of a sudden, they loved you guys.
	They dropped all charges.
	They did, have I got you guys out of so much trouble?
	And you know what?
	I don't think anybody voted for them, right?
	Because you remember they treated you very unfairly, actually.
	So it's a great honor that we were involved.
	And it was.
	It was a tremendous amount of support that we got at the polls.
	We won, think of it, we won every swing state.
	We won by millions of votes.
	We won the popular vote.
	We won the districts by 2,750, think of that, to 505.
	Different districts, too, by the way.
	Every once in a while, that number can change, but it doesn't change by much.
	The map was almost totally red, and you guys were with us right from the beginning, exactly one year ago, this month.
	Many of you were with me in Nashville, Tennessee.
	Do you remember that day, right?
	That was a big day in Nashville, Tennessee, when we became, and I became the first presidential candidate ever to address the Bitcoin conference.
	And at this time, and at that time, crypto builders and founders were under relentless assault by the Biden administration, which was trying to crush your industry and crush you as people and go after your families.
	And they were a vicious group of people.
	You know, people don't realize that they were vicious, incompetent, but vicious.
	Well, Joe was an incompetent guy, but he was always known as a vicious guy.
	I guess if you're going to be in that, you're probably, if they're incompetent is better, right?
	Because you don't want to have a vicious guy that's competent.
	If you did, I wouldn't be standing here today.
	But I pledged that we would bring back American liberty and leadership and make the United States the crypto capital of the world, and that's what we've done.
	And under the Trump administration, this is only going further.
	You're going to do really well.
	I mean, I'm so proud of what you've done in the last couple of years.
	And very important, on day one, I remember I did this and I said this and I mentioned this name, and I got the greatest applause of the whole campaign.
	We fired Joe Biden's SEC chair, Gary Gensler.
	fired him.
	But I remember I was making a speech, and it was just a line in a speech, and I said, and I will fire Gary Gensler.
	And the place exploded.
	I said, I finished one, and I said, what the hell did that guy do?
	There was a lot of hatred there, I'll tell you.
	And it turned out, as I got familiar with everything, it turned out you were absolutely right.
	In his place, I appointed a visionary chairman who wants America to build the future and not block the future.
	He's going to be unbelievable.
	He'll go down as one of the greats.
	Paul Atkins, where are you Paul Atkins?
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	And you know, Paul, the crypto guys, they said, everybody said, not only crypto, every industry, they all wanted Paul for the position.
	And he's a tough cookie, too.
	He's just, but they actually said, we don't care.
	We just think he's fair.
	All they wanted was fairness.
	And they have somebody that you're really a champion of the street and you're a champion of the country.
	You're going to do a fantastic job.
	I saw you interviewed the other night.
	I watched it about 2 o'clock in the morning.
	There was a little thing called C-SPAN, which I don't know how many people were watching.
	Don't worry, you were in prime time too, but they happen to have a little rerun.
	I don't want to embarrass you.
	But a fantastic job, really.
	You are absolutely so perfect for the job.
	Congratulations, Paul.
	And Paul is here today among the commissioners, various commissioners, including Hester Pierce and Mark Yoida.
	Hester and Mark Yoita.
	Thank you, Hester.
	Thank you very much.
	And thank you, Mark, wherever you may be.
	Is Mark here?
	Oh, stand up, Mark.
	I didn't.
	Good.
	Thank you.
	Good job.
	Good.
	I'm glad I gave you a second crack you didn't hear because of the thunderous applause for Hester.
	But thank you.
	I heard tremendous things about both of you.
	Thank you very much.
	My first week in office, I also established the first ever presidential working group on digital assets.
	And we have an executive director, Wiz Bo Hines.
	Bo Hines.
	Hi, Bo.
	And Bo is a great football player, right?
	Bo is a great football player, one of the better players in college football.
	So I know you from that also.
	See, who would think that I know that?
	I know a lot of things, Bo, but he was a champion player.
	I stopped the weaponization of government against crypto and Bitcoin, and we ended the lawless operation Choke Point 2.0.
	That was a bad operation.
	And I kept my promises to the community and granted a full presidential pardon to Ross Albrecht.
	Ross Albrecht.
	And you have no idea how important that name became.
	It was like a symbol, and his mother was unbelievable.
	His mother was an unbelievable woman, but it was so important to a certain group of people.
	And in the truly momentous act last March, I signed an executive order establishing the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve as well as the United States Digital Asset Stockpile.
	And that's all signed up.
	And with today's signing, we're pushing even further into the exciting new frontier.
	Just as I promised last year, the Genius Act creates a clear and simple regulatory framework to establish and unleash the immense promise of dollar-backed stable coins.
	This could be perhaps the greatest revolution in financial technology since the birth of the Internet itself.
	A lot of people are saying that.
	I don't know.
	What do you guys think?
	Yes?
	If you say yes, I'm saying yes.
	I think it's great that you're involved, I will tell you.
	Many Americans are unaware that behind the scenes, the technical backbone of the financial system is decades out of date, many, many years out of date.
	You know that.
	Paul and others are straightening it out, but payments and money transfers are costly and take days or even weeks to clear.
	Under this bill, the entire ancient system will be eligible for a 21st century upgrade using the state-of-the-art crypto technology.
	Who would have thought we would have been saying that two Years after I really met you for the first time.
	The Genius Act provides banks, businesses, and financial institutions a framework for issuing crypto assets backed one for one with real U.S. dollars, treasury bills, and other cash equivalents.
	It's really strengthening the dollar and giving the dollar great prominence.
	And, you know, you have this little group called BRICS.
	It's fading out fast.
	But BRICS is, they wanted to try and take over the dollar, the dominance of the dollar, and the standard of the dollar.
	And I said, anybody that's in the BRICS Consortium of Nations, we're going to tariff you 10%.
	And they had a meeting the following day, and almost nobody showed up.
	They said, leave me alone.
	They didn't want to be tariffed there.
	It's amazing.
	No, we're not going to let the dollar slide.
	If we have a smart president, you're never going to let the dollar slide.
	If you have a dummy, that could happen, like the last one.
	If you ever asked him about the dollar slider, he would have no idea.
	But we can't let that ever happen again.
	Consumers, vendors, and people all over the world will then be able to use those stable coins for ultra-low-cost transactions that are cleared and settled in a matter of seconds rather than weeks and months.
	And it's really an amazing thing.
	And with the privacy, flexibility, and decentralization of cash, this revolution has the potential to supercharge American economic growth and empower billions of people to save and transfer in U.S. dollars.
	It's really all backed by the dollars.
	That's really a great thing.
	You know, we had a lot of Democrat support.
	I have to tell you that.
	I was shocked anytime you get one Democrat, but we had a tremendous amount of Democrat support, which we appreciate, and which just shows you that you're doing the right thing.
	This will increase demand for U.S. Treasuries, lower interest rates, and secure the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency for generations to come.
	The reserve currency is so important.
	You know, if we lost that, that would be like losing a world war.
	We can never let anyone play games with us.
	And that's why when I heard about this group from BRICS, six countries basically, I hit them very, very hard.
	And if they ever really form in a meaningful way, it will end very quickly, I will tell you, for them.
	They won't be gone very long.
	I don't think they'll even do it.
	They're virtually afraid to meet.
	I also remain fully committed to my pledge never to allow the creation of a central bank digital currency in America.
	It won't happen.
	My first.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	And the other night, I will say, with some of the Congress men and women, they wanted that so badly.
	That was so important to them.
	You know, I was impressed that they knew what the hell it was, to be honest with you.
	Please, sir, please, the central bank digital currency, you have to make sure, sir.
	And I'm saying, what do you know about that?
	It's amazing the knowledge that people have gained all of a sudden.
	We had a lot of problems with some of them.
	I said, we've already got it from the Fed, right?
	From commerce, and from an executive order.
	You don't need it a fourth time.
	Sir, we have to get it.
	That's amazing.
	But they knew their subject, though, didn't they?
	And we helped them out.
	My first week in office, I signed an executive order to ban the creation of a CBDC in the United States.
	And very soon, I look forward to signing legislation that will codify and ban the, make it a permanent law, put it in permanence.
	I'm also committed to signing landmark crypto market structure legislation this year to grow the industry.
	We're going to be growing it even more, more than people ever thought.
	It's a really hot industry.
	And for a little while, two nights ago, we were a little concerned because we were a little short on votes.
	Like, I would say maybe we were about nine short.
	Nine short at three in the morning.
	We were about four short at 3.30 in the morning.
	And we were in good shape at 4 o'clock in the morning, right?
	But the people, and few people, have fought harder for the bill than we're signing than some of the people here today.
	You have been unbelievable.
	It's our White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sachs who has done such a great job.
	Thank you.
	And I did his, he has a show now.
	I've become a showman.
	But a couple of years ago, it's probably two years ago now in San Francisco.
	And I did his show.
	And I heard he's a very smart guy.
	And we had a great show.
	You've kept it going a lot longer.
	And you got, is that still your highest rated ever show?
	Oh, he knows what to say.
	He knows what to say.
	He had a rating that he had millions and millions of people.
	He said, what's going on?
	But we had a great show.
	And I said, you know, that guy's really smart.
	I said, if I get elected, I was running at that time.
	If I get elected, we're going to bring him into government in some ways.
	He's worth a fortune.
	He's made a lot of money.
	He's a very rich billionaire.
	But this is more important, isn't it?
	Me too.
	It's like, doesn't matter.
	This is much, I know Howard and I talk about it all the time.
	Howard could go back to his wonderful brokerage firm, hire one or two people.
	And it's not the same as what you're doing, right?
	We're doing the biggest deals in the world.
	Actually, the deal we're doing now in tariffs is the biggest, when you add it up, the biggest deal ever made in history.
	It could be 1,000 IBMs.
	I mean, if you think of it, it's the biggest deal ever done.
	So it's hard to go back to a brokerage firm and make $79,000 commission on the stale of a sock, right?
	That's true.
	But I want to ask David, so David's been fantastic.
	He's done an incredible job.
	And I'd like to ask David, come up, say a few words.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you, sir.
	Thank you so much.
	All right.
	Thank you, President Trump.
	It's a great, great honor to be here.
	And it's true that I'd never expected to work in government at all.
	And then everything changed after President Trump came on my podcast.
	And I accepted this job as cryptozoor because I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work for a president who really wants to get things done for the American people.
	And if anything, that's been an understatement.
	The first six months of this administration have been more successful than any administration in American history.
	what's been done.
	It's just been incredible.
	President Trump has worked at tech speed.
	We're used to working fast in Silicon Valley, but even this is fast for us in Silicon Valley.
	The speed at which you move, President Trump, is really incredible.
	And now today, you have another historic legislative achievement that is a monumental step to fulfilling your promise to making the United States the crypto capital of the world.
	This Genius Act will unlock American dominance in the crypto industry by creating clear rules of the road.
	It will update archaic payment rails with a revolutionary new payment system.
	And it will extend U.S. dollar dominance, like you said, globally, by creating a digital dollar that people all over the world can use.
	And for every digital dollar in a crypto wallet, there will be a traditional dollar in a U.S. bank account, which will create trillions of dollars of demand for U.S. Treasury.
	So that is the power of this bill is U.S. dollar dominance.
	This is a huge promise made and promise kept by President Trump.
	And there's just a few other people I'd like to thank.
	First, my family for being here.
	Thank you.
	And Bo Hines, who President Trump mentions, the director of our crypto council.
	He really did the heavy lifting here.
	So, Bo, I just want to thank you again.
	And my chief of staff, Tracy Johnson, as well, who also does the heavy lifting.
	And Bill Haggerty and French Hill and all the congressmen and senators who have already been mentioned by President Trump, so I'll save the time, but it has really been an honor to work with all of you.
	This was really a team effort.
	But most of all, I want to thank President Trump for accomplishing what nobody thought was possible.
	And it's true that just earlier this week, the media was reporting that this bill was dead.
	This bill was dead.
	And then the media didn't know one thing, that we had a secret weapon.
	We have a dealmaker-in-chief.
	And thanks to President Trump, he stepped in and saved this bill.
	And it's because of your vision, your leadership, your determination, your skill that we're all here today.
	So thank you very much, President Trump.
	Is that Laura?
	Please come.
	Kiss, come here.
	This is our superstar.
	She was the head of the Republican Party, and nobody complained about anything.
	We went on to grade.
	This is Laura Trump, married to a young gentleman named Eric.
	They have beautiful two children, but she has been so good.
	She stepped into that position like it was nothing that we won.
	And she said, Dad, I'd like to go home right now to my beautiful husband and my son and daughter, Rhett.
	But you did a fantastic job.
	And you worked with a great gentleman, too.
	He's doing a fantastic job.
	But I just want to thank you.
	I just saw you standing back there.
	I wanted to bring her in.
	Thank you very much, Laura.
	Thank you.
	So under the Trump administration, I mean, I just got back from Saudi Arabia, and we went to Qatar.
	We went to a number of countries.
	And I will tell you, the level of respect that this country has now is incredible.
	It's a UAE.
	I tell you what, we had a time there, but every leader said the same thing.
	They said, one year ago, your country was dead.
	And they'd say it that way.
	It was like, you know, I didn't know whether I was supposed to be happy or insulted, but the truth is we were in deep trouble.
	But they said, one year ago, your country was dead.
	And today you have the hottest country anywhere in the world.
	And it's true.
	We have the hottest country in the world.
	We had a country who were a laughingstock with the borders, people pouring in.
	Can you imagine last month, in the month of June, actually, zero.
	Now, I don't even believe that, zero, because you have hundreds of thousands pouring in, and then all of a sudden it's zero.
	But they have it down at zero.
	And very liberal people take that particular toll.
	It's a liberal group.
	So they're not giving us any favors.
	They had zero people coming through our border.
	Can you imagine that?
	From literally hundreds of thousands and millions pouring in from all over the world.
	They came from all over the world.
	They came from prisons, jails.
	They came from mental institutions, gang members.
	There were gangs.
	They came from all over the place, from every country.
	They came from the Congo and Africa, a lot from the Congo.
	They came from South America.
	A lot of came from Venezuela.
	They emptied their jails into our country.
	Can you imagine?
	They allowed that, emptied their jails into our country, and they let them walk right into our country like perfect.
	11,888 committed murder.
	50% committed more than one person.
	They murdered more than one person.
	50% of 11,888.
	And we had murderers and we're getting them out and Tom Holman and Christie are doing a great job.
	That Tom Holman, I'll tell you, is he central casting a lot?
	And he takes abuse, but they just keep fighting and they're winning.
	And we're winning in the courts, so we're winning everywhere.
	But we've got the hottest country in the world, and you're a big part of it.
	So the golden age of America is upon us.
	And with today's signing, the future of crypto and the crypto industry, the U.S. dollar working together, because they really are hand in hand, is going to be stronger and bigger and better than ever before.
	And I just want to thank everybody, some tremendous people in this room.
	And maybe when I sign, I'll ask some of our great senators and congressmen to come on up.
	Some of the top crypto guys, please come on up because you guys work very hard at this.
	And we'll sign this and we'll get on to the next battle and we'll win.
	But we're winning all over the world right now.
	It's not even close, not even close.
	And we're going to keep it going.
	Thank you, everybody, very much.
