- Brandon bought the rights on the sly. Cantor took the payday pie. Raise a glass and move your money, move your money, move your money. Raise a glass and move your money to the carnival goodbye. Let me move your money. Demand three, kill the Clarity Act. Don't let the name fool you. House Resolution, and its Senate companion are not regulatory clarity. They are the rail, the platform, the surveillance grid that real world asset tokenization is going to run on the largest financial surveillance regime since the Patriot Act written for the lobbyists sold to a Congress that has never read a smart contract. We do not need clarity. We need them to leave it alone. Next track is trap in disguise. The title says it. Listen, the I woke up to silence But the war had begun They froze my account Said I'd done something wrong Wasn't no crime Just living free Now the system got a chain on me They took my savings, my future, my land With a single cold line and a government hand Said it was safety, said it was green But all I see is tyranny behind the screen This ain't innovation It's a trap in disguise You alone, nothing Be watched all your life Genius ain't freedom Gravity ain't It's a cage they built While we cheered I believed in the promise The man with the plan But the same old swamp Just changed its brand Keep in the front door Open the back Sign the bills that launch the final attack This ain't innovation It's a trap in disguise We watched all your lies. Genes ain't freedom. Colony ain't clear. It's a case they build. Your gold, your guns, your voice, your name They'll digitize it all, then shift the blame Palantirizing AI chains Freedom dying slow in patriotic flames This ain't about safety With your ID, your face, your tears, your time They wrapped it in stars, sold it with pride But freedom's bleeding out from the inside DEFCON won, and they call it peace But I still got breath, I still believe We can break the code, escape the scheme Turn this nightmare back into a dream Demand four, end the draft. They campaigned on no new wars. Then they bombed Iran. They sit on the so-called Board of Peace. Then they profit from the rebuild. Barron Trump stands one inch too tall to be drafted. Your sons, your daughters. They register or face five years and a quarter million dollar fine. Repeal the Military Selective Service Act. Burn the database. No human being is the property of the state. And here's the through line. Every war the United States has fought in the last hundred years was funded by debt issued in dollars. The dollar is the draft. The dollar is the bomb. The dollar is the empty cage your kid sits in waiting for orders. You don't end the war machine without ending the money that pays for it. This last track is Ditch the Dollar. That's the campaign. That's the website. Day twenty twenty six dot com. Ditch the dollar dot com. Go sign the pledge tonight. Roll it. Another head hangs lowly A child is slowly taken She braided up her hair that morning Seven years old and forsaken The missile found the classroom. Rolled three seconds from the door. Her mother cries into the evening. The same cries she heard before. But you see, it's not me. It's not what I believe. Answering my daughter in that chair in a schoolroom. The taste and the bombs and the truth. My son sold ten thousand drones The draft is on the table now But the tall boy stays at home Six foot eight you go to war Six foot nine you're free One inch between the body bag And the boy who holds the key But you see, it's not me With their tanks and their bombs and their bones and their coins and their sons and their sons. In your head, in your head they are funding. With your dollar. Seventy billion to rebuild what they bombed Smart cities where the school used to stand They call it the board of peace But peace does not have a chairman And peace does not need your money to exist So stop giving it to them Heartbreak Cage every dollar that you spend tonight, write your name on a tiny break But you see, it's not me, it's not my family But the dollar in my pocket built the bomb that killed her With their tanks and their bombs and their drones and their coins and their souls Ditch your door Ditch your door Another head hangs lowly A child is slowly taken She braided up her hair that morning a dollar. That's the four demands. That's the case. That's why we're doing this. Day twenty twenty six dot com. Sign every petition. Share every demand. Bring a friend. We're going live right now. Welcome to the Aaron Day Show. Season three, episode fifteen. Let's get into it. All right, there we go. That's better. So anyway, welcome back. Season three, episode fifteen. It's been a while. I've been traveling, actually spent quite a bit of time last week at the Bitcoin conference. Can you hear me now? Okay, good. um i was at the bitcoin conference of of all places which you know you might not you might not expect me to be talking about having been to the bitcoin conference but uh was going to advocate for our crypto prisoners of war which ties into tonight's episode and uh you know unfortunately we were hoping there was a no joke there was a panel at the Bitcoin conference entitled Ending the War on Bitcoin. And the speakers on this panel were Kash Patel, director of the FBI, and Todd Blanch, acting AG. And a lot of us were fairly excited and thought there was a pretty high probability that that would be the moment when Trump was going to announce some pardons. because the event was huge, forty thousand people at this event. And there were a lot of activists there holding signs, Free Ian, Free Samurai, Free Roman, Free the Romans. And, you know, there were a lot of people throughout the event carrying these signs and, you know, actually even got kicked out for a short period of time at the beginning. But you would have thought that this would have been the chance and this would have been the opportunity. and unfortunately they did absolutely nothing they lied for however long it was i actually sat through it it was it was painful to even sit through So tonight I'm talking about the campaign, day twenty twenty six, because it's time to move into war mode. There's a lot going on right now where I'm kind of moving into a different mode. I'd say for the last couple of years, let's say we've been in development, right, developing all these websites, which I encourage everybody to either attend the enemies of the state event at the Libertarian Convention or watch it. We're going to be live streaming it. this event this enemies of the state event i think in conjunction with my race is the best shot that these guys have at getting pardons and i'll explain why and i and i didn't want it to come down to this uh i was kind of hoping maybe the right thing would be done for other reasons but you know in the end uh that's really not how trump works and you know if you look at what's going on with bitcoin just in the last couple of days we have everybody saying oh we're going to sign the clarity act by july the fourth and people saying things like you know we're going in the next two weeks we're going to announce more about the bitcoin strategic reserve you have forty thousand people at this event all of these talks all of this all of the hype they're going to push and people are celebrating the largest surveillance bill in the history of the united states which is what the clarity act is and they're talking about using taxpayer theft well actually they may not even be doing that when they roll out the bitcoin strategic reserve they may just decide to say hey look we're just going to do more civil asset forfeiture because that's actually the policy that they currently have so they're trying to buy off the bitcoin community by saying hey You know, we're going to be able to dump Bitcoin and Bitcoin treasury companies on boomers and people that don't know any better if we pass Clarity Act. Sure, it's the biggest surveillance act ever, but we're going to be able to dump Bitcoin onto the unsuspecting public. through funds and things where people are multiple levels removed or bitcoin treasury companies which has to be the biggest ponzi on ponzi scheme i've ever heard but the trade-off is the most surveillance so is the bitcoin community going to cheer on surveillance and going to cheer on using taxpayer money theft through civil asset forfeiture to increase the price of their Bitcoin, or are they going to stand for the developers and the advocates who are the most effective people ever at promoting the use of Bitcoin as peer-to-peer digital cash, or the developers who built privacy tools to make Bitcoin private? Which side are you going to support? Because if the community is going to get bought off for this, then we have a serious problem. And by the way, I suspect we do have a serious problem, which is why this race and I'm going to be ratcheting this up. And I will tell you, it makes a lot of people really uncomfortable. which is why I'm going to be crystal clear about what the race is about and what it's not. I don't want people donating money or supporting thinking, oh, it'd be great, Aaron, if you went to Washington, D.C., you could straighten things out. Nobody can fix Washington, D.C. No one. The system is completely broken. The only thing, if I got elected, which is a long shot, which isn't even the point of this race, would be to expose both sides and the lobbyists and to try to slow things down because right now what we have is technocracy moving at full speed with zero friction. I mean, again, if Harris had won or whatever, they tried to push a centralized CBDC, people would at least be upset and protesting and doing whatever. We have a situation right now where I'm going to conferences where people are cheering on surveillance legislation. It is the biggest... And I think by and large, they don't know better. But I mean, it's turned into a cult. So people are jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire, which I heard somebody use that phrase. And I thought that was actually a pretty accurate way to sum up what's going on. And so if you've listened to the show, I've done episodes on why America One.O is over. You can't vote your way out. And here's the interesting thing. So I started out as a serial entrepreneur, got burned by the government, and then became a political activist when I moved to New Hampshire. And I thought you could fix the political system. I thought that the way you could fix the political system was through the Republican Party, by pushing liberty within the Republican Party. Spent a lot of time doing this. I've done more, run super PACs, run the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire. I've been on actual Republican boards. I've run as a libertarian and independent. All I've supported, my wife and I both supported hundreds of candidates who have actually gotten elected in New Hampshire. and and it's all turned out to be in the end the people that you support they they once they get into office they go back on everything that they got elected to do and then they tell you it's well you got to work within the system and everything else and you know we the results speak for themselves you can go to technocracyatlas.com and you can see a map since that shows the growth of technocracy in all fifty states and in a hundred and ninety two countries And then you can actually get, you can sign up for a free, send your email in for free, and I'll give you a PDF with a full document that explains what's going on, the technocracy in each of those areas. And this has been very popular. A lot of these posts went viral until I think X caught on, so it's now been shadow banned. But the one that we did on Ohio, absolutely went viral had a gubernatorial candidate on there had the ceo palmer lucky on there um a lot a lot of people engaging in this because we can talk about theoretically what technocracy is all we want people aren't going to pay a lot of attention but you start talking about oh here are the data centers that are going in Here's what Peter Thiel's doing in your state. Here are the overlapping investments. And here's what's going on. Here are the tax credits. Here's all the cronyism going on related to technocracy. They don't even need to know that it's technocracy. They already don't like technocracy. They just don't know why. And they don't know what the label is. So anyway, I got a little diverted there, but I got into politics, realized that you're not going to vote your way out. Realize this, the hard way, I've described this in a lot of ways. And then you might be saying, well, here you are running for U.S. Senate. And this was actually after running for president in twenty twenty four. And the reason why is I exited politics. I'm like, you know, these guys were right. Ian Freeman was right. Roger Ver was right. You know, Ian was like, hey, you know, Ian was a big proponent, is a big proponent of civil disobedience and creating alternative systems and using Bitcoin. This was he was, you know, one of the first he was the first ever radio host in the entire world to talk about Bitcoin in twenty ten. and then did ATMs and onboarded merchants and everything else. And then Roger Ver learned about Bitcoin from Ian and Mark on Free Talk Live and then became Bitcoin Jesus and literally was the first investor in the ecosystem. People, this industry would not be here if it weren't for these two guys. And I'm like, hey, you know what? They were right. What an idiot I was thinking that we could change things politically. So I exit politics, get rid of my personal bank account, go entirely into alternative currencies. And in fact, not only just alternative currencies, but I was looking at tokenization, not the tokenization that we have now that everybody's talking about with BlackRock, but the idea of, hey, you could tokenize and trade things without third parties. You could get rid of Wall Street. You could get rid of these third parties. And that's where I spent all my time. And then lo and behold, what happened? The people that were the most effective at promoting these parallel systems were arrested. So it started with Ian's sentencing hearing, which my wife and I sat. And it was devastating watching that, even though you know government sucks and is trying to shut down freedom and that the deck is stacked in these federal cases. Anyway, you very quickly start to learn that they don't have any interest in justice at all. They just want a win rate. And in fact, the people in the Department of Justice are trying to get a win rate so that they can then leave the government sector and then become defense attorneys and charge a thousand fifteen hundred dollars an hour. It's just a disgusting, absolutely disgusting system. And then Roger gets arrested. And now here we are. You know, I ran for president, wrote this book warning people about CBDC, warning people that there was going to be a crackdown on crypto. I dropped everything that I was doing to warn people. And now what? Now we're having another enemies of the state event. And instead of having a couple of people, we have seven people, eight people that are enemies of the state from crypto. It's expanded massively. I think there are thirteen total enemies of the state that we're going to be advocating for with talks. And again, it's the party there, but also the live stream. We're going to try to reach hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people. The war on crypto didn't end, it expanded. So then I realized, look, yes, I could go work on parallel systems, but if I'm particularly successful at it, I'm just going to get arrested. So now I'm balancing my time. Now my time is one third spent educating people about the risks of technocracy, one third working on parallel systems and privacy coins and Zeno and Freedom Dollar and so on and so forth. And then one third right now of the time spending on trying to advocate for these crypto prisoners of war because we have a limited window of opportunity. I'm going to be very candid about what's happening. Trump only responds to leverage. There are a lot of people that don't want to hear this. There are a lot of people that say we have to be nice to Trump. Being fucking nice to Trump is not going to free a single person. Trump responds to leverage. His whole thing is the art of the deal. Look at how many, you know, I was talking to somebody today and he said literally Trump has measured it, has declared that we've beaten Iran thirty one times. That conflict isn't over. It's all a negotiation. It's all about leverage. It's all about either what can he make from it personally or, and by the way, the only reason Ross Ulbricht is free is because he needed the votes. If he didn't get the votes, if he didn't capture RFK Jr., if he didn't lie to everybody or whatever he needed to do to get the votes, he'd be in prison right now. He was facing a hundred years in prison. So they were all deals. None of it was transferable. None of it's he's a nice guy. None of it is this is a principle that he's based on. Everything is a deal. Well, here's the deal. The deal is this. It's not going very well. He's going to lose the House and the Senate is now fifty-fifty. Literally, the prediction markets are fifty-fifty. And the state of New Hampshire is one of the toss-ups. In fact, the state of New Hampshire, the Republican in the polls, where I'm not included yet in the polling, the Republican John E. Sununu is down by only one point to the Democrat. As a result, the Maine Senate PAC has said they're going to put seventeen million dollars into this race if Sununu wins the primary. Seventeen million dollars. If you look at it, I'm pretty sure it is the highest amount of money per capita that that entire Senate fund is putting money into. Now, who funds the Senate PAC? Miriam Adelson. That name ought to ring a bell. If you can go and look up the super PAC, the Senate Defense Fund or whatever it is, and I'll certainly be sharing more information about it. All of the technocrats, all of the people that we're complaining about are funding John Isununu. And they're going to put in last time when I did this, they lost a hundred million dollars and they will put more than that into this race. The entire control of the US Senate may come down to New Hampshire. So that is leverage. And I did this in twenty sixteen and it did cost them the seat. And that's it. This is a an opportunity. I don't know how long leverage is going to last. Maybe circumstances change. But right now. This is something and I'm going to talk tonight about what the campaign is all about. I don't have to run. But the issue is this, if I get on the ballot, the Republican's going to lose. So I'll get into the details on that, but I did want to give a preface on this. I am pissed off. I'm pissed off because I will tell you that, again, I'm in war mode now. We are running out of time. They're about to pass the Clarity Act. Palantir is running wild everywhere with surveillance. Digital IDs, again, look at the technocracy maps. I wanted to put that information together there to show people how technocracy has grown over the last fifty years and how it's grown in whatever country or whatever state you're in. Because when you're in it, sometimes it seems like, well, you know, that's off in the distance. It's not off in the distance. We're almost completely captured already. And now you can see granularly what's going on. If they pass the Clarity Act, we're in trouble because that means everything you own is headed towards being tokenized in a way that governments and other third parties can program, track, and censor. It is how you own nothing. And I'm looking online and people are celebrating this. And yeah, this is pro-crypto. Nobody has read the bill. Trust me, I've asked people. I've had conversations with people. I've actually, you can see me on X. I'll actually say, I'll go. Somebody wrote a popular tweet and I'll say, this is the largest surveillance bill. No one will refute this because all of the traffic is fake and everything is bots and not a single person has actually defended the Clarity Act. No one. It's all fake. It's all manufactured. I've given the breakdowns on the website. We're going to go through all of it. But that is it. This is one of the last things that they need to push out technocracy. Because this is how they capture our assets. So this is serious. The reason these crypto prisoners are so important is that these are... These are the heroes that have been effective at promoting voluntary exchange. These are the people that are trying to safeguard our privacy. They actually didn't do anything wrong. Every case... I'm going to have Lauren Rodriguez on next week. Next Thursday at six p.m. And I've been watching all of her interviews and everything else. And this is just... Every one of these is horrible. You know, and I know you may be listening to this, you may be sick of, you know, almost every week for the past several weeks. And then moving into the enemies of the state party, it's been lawyers or people that are in prison and everything else. And it's just, it's devastating. And it's devastating because it's unjust and because we know why they're being targeted. But the more devastating part is to understand that this is the standard process for the Department of Justice. Every one of these cases is something that the general public, when you tell them any of the individual stories, it sounds ridiculous. People's response is, oh, this must be a one-off or this guy must be making it up. I'm working on right now, I've downloaded all of the public legal filings for all of these different cases. And I am using AI to put them all in a timeline because I think that there was a very, very concerted effort at a very specific point in time to shut this down. I mean, obviously I talked about that with respect to CBDCs, but this also includes the tokenization of equities. This is what happened to Patrick Byrne with T-Zero. It's what happened to Chris Horlacher with his company at around, And we're talking about a coordination of five eyes. We're talking about the CIA. We're talking about the equivalents in Canada and the UK and so forth. This has been a coordinated attack because the technocrats do not want people engaging in voluntary trade outside of their control. It is a cornerstone of the ideology. So I'm going to jump into this. I encourage you to visit day.com. I'm going to put the screenshot up here. And then at the end, I'm going to pull up the site where I'm going to go through the actual pages because a lot of what I'm going to go through is content that's on the website. But I've completely rebranded it, changed the colors, got rid of the black background and everything else and tried to change up the branding, but added a lot of content and added these for demand. So I don't have to run. My goal is still not to run. So if you're thinking about this, my goal is to say, look, this is leverage. And all I'm asking is for the administration to do and Congress to do what they committed to do. There's nothing that I'm doing here that's out of the ordinary. These aren't like weird demands. And if you bought Trump, look, I've talked to people, I voted for Trump three times and everything else, and almost everyone now, whether they say it publicly, privately, they're saying, this was a big mistake this last time. And I'm talking about the four demands, and the four demands aren't certainly everything that I'm unhappy with. That would be too long of a list to even describe. They've gone the wrong way on everything, on war, on Doge, on every aspect of whatever, the war on crypto. Everything has been an inversion. But I'm focusing on the things that I think are the most important things in terms of slowing technocracy and freeing the people that are the most effective on the planet at promoting parallel systems and just as a reminder of what happened i encourage you to look it up you can research what happened in i ran as an independent for u.s senate specifically to cost kelly at the race it was a similar situation to what we're going through now i told people kelly aott in it got involved with local politics because i didn't care about washington dc i moved to new hampshire to become part of the free state project and a lot of the mentality even today still within the free state project is it's screw dc just protect new hampshire and but the problem with that is when more and more of your budget comes from the federal government when you've given over healthcare to the federal government. When you witness even in New Hampshire what happened with COVID policies, people have resigned to this kind of failure. Well, they're going to just take half of our money and they're going to implement the surveillance state, but we're going to be the freest plantation in the slave colony. That doesn't actually have to be that way. You can actually engage in politics in a way to kind of mess it up and you can be a little bit strategic about it rather than just say, well, well, you know, I'm going to vote for the Republicans because they're less bad and then try to become the relatively least enslaved state. Doesn't even seem like much of a strategy, but in any event, ten years ago, I was trying to stop the encroachment of the federal government in health care through medicaid expansion um and and by and large the republicans were overwhelmingly against medicaid expansion which was a function of obamacare overwhelmingly i mean i would go to town committees and county committees and they would sign unanimous resolutions in opposition to this And I drilled down and I found out it was only a couple of people pushing it. They were pushing it in the Senate and they have ties to DC and ties to lobbyists and everything else. And in the end, it was being pushed to help Kelly get reelected to the US Senate. I'm like, if you're going to impose this massive federal healthcare mandate on New Hampshire just to get this federal candidate reelected, then I'm going to stop that behavior. So I ran as an independent, but I gave people a year of notice. I talked to the chairman of the party. I talked to the former governor. Everybody knew what was happening because it wasn't like, oh, yeah, my point was to say, you're not following the number one plank in the Republican Party platform for the state, which is to oppose Obamacare in all of its forms. That was the number one thing in the party platform. So I'm trying to hold you accountable to the thing that the party claims is the number one hill to die on. So I gave him this notice and they did it anyway. there were more steps involved and everything else and so i ended up costing her the race it was the most expensive senate race per capita in the history of the united states i got seventeen thousand seven hundred and forty two votes kelly ayotte lost by a thousand votes and i you know frankly some of my votes were from people that i know who some of them are they're people that are elected in office now and and everything else i you know they sent me pictures of their ballots and uh they were mostly republicans because there was also a libertarian in the race so there's no doubt undoubtedly i cost her this race but then what happened well i would have thought hey we've just shown something here we have shown that you can utilize the fact you can't win as a third party but you can use the third party as a way to exert leverage over the two parties and to hold your party accountable I thought this was a great model, and this was a way to actually stop and break the lobbyists and all the special interests. Well, unfortunately, the people locally just decided, oh, well, that just seemed like it was outlandish or whatever. We're going to just now partner with these same people. So, I mean, that's the point where I'm like, all right, I exited politics because people who I'd supported to run for state office who signed a pledge saying they were against Medicaid expansion and everything else now today are co-sponsors of legislation, making it permanent, making the Obamacare expansion permanent. So I'm like, all right, I'm completely done. even at the local level, because people are not willing to do the hard work. They're not willing to do what is required if you really wanted to make New Hampshire a place where the protection of life, liberty, and property was the maximum role of government. But then again, we got into this situation, and now the people promoting parallel systems have been imprisoned or awaiting sentencing, so on and so forth. So I'm like, okay, I know this works. And it turns out, ten years later, that this race is even more important. I actually threatened to... There's a Breitbart article where I said, I'm going to cost Kelly at the Senate and cost Republicans control of the US Senate. I didn't right away, but I did, you know, this was a twenty sixteen election, but from twenty twenty to twenty twenty two, Kelly being there actually cost Republicans control of the Senate. Now, this pissed everybody off. I was in lawsuits. I was in litigation for five and a half years. Two hundred and seventy million dollars worth of litigation. I have I had threats of physical violence. mind you, after the election, primarily because people didn't believe I would do it or it would be successful. And so then after the fact, everybody's like, oh, well, this was a vanity run and everything else. No, I didn't want to run. In fact, we collected signatures from someone else. I'm never the guy that was supposed to be the candidate. I'm the guy that is running the organization, doing the recruiting and doing the fundraising. I was never supposed to be candidate I'm not a mainstream personality and I mean I don't hesitate to say that and that's and I'm nor am I nor am I trying to be but no one else would do it well so here we are in this situation again it's tied fifty fifty in the stakes for Trump are this if he loses the house in the Senate they're going to impeach him And in fact, if things keep on going, I've actually... Raskin and others have already begun to draft the documents, but this isn't like before. He's done some seriously bad shit where I actually think there's going to be Republican support on some of it. So this is real... This is real leverage. So again, I want to be perfectly clear. I don't want people donating because people are like, oh, yeah, you do a great job. No, I'm being very clear that you can't fix DC, but we have to slow it down. And we have to do everything that we can to free these prisoners of war. That's my statement. I'm like, oh, and then if we do this, we're going to be able to reform things. I've done plenty of podcasts on this. Happy to talk about it. in greater detail but then from there the next step the next place people go is oh you're going to cost republicans control aren't you worried about this would you rather have the democrats this is the line that i get every time look at what's going on would i rather have the democrat it doesn't matter but i will tell you we are actually worse off in any case with complete majority rule of either party and this is factually true you can go and look up the history of government spending and everything else and when it's one party rule it doesn't matter which party you get more spending you get more war you get it's it's it's so there really isn't a difference between the two but in in this case I would argue, and again, a lot of my free state friends that have bought into the, well, I guess we just can't do anything about DC. We might as well just pack it in and support the Republican to try to curry some favor. And then, you know, maybe we'll, we'll be enslaved less frequently kind of mindset. And from the very beginning, when I started doing this, I realized that even in New Hampshire, you have two big political parties, one on the right, one on the left, the Sununu family on the right and the Shaheen family on the left. It's important to break that. And whatever state you're in, you probably have the same thing. You probably have some political dynasty family or whatever, where it's like multiple generations of the same person. And everybody's like, this guy's a moron. Why is he in there? But it's brand name recognition. And then it turns out they have all these relationships with Washington, D.C. That is what has to get cut off because it influences... your state and what i'm going to be able to do is prove this to everyone i i you know i realized you know i thought i'd do this hey you know you can't vote your way out and we do a podcast on it i'm like no i'll show you this is why when you dig into the technocracy atlas maps and some other things i'm going to put out you can now trace this you can follow the money you can see one political dynasty can destroy a state in perpetuity So the Sununu family has been around in this state for a long time, since the nineteen eighties. John H. Sununu, the son of the current guy running for U.S. Senate. He's been the governor. He was the chief of staff for George H.W. Bush. And he had to resign or was fired for mismanagement of funds or something along those lines. But then one of his other sons, Chris Sununu, was just the governor here in New Hampshire for multiple terms. And John E. Sununu used to be In fact, he was senator immediately prior to me moving to New Hampshire. And at the time in two thousand and eight. People were like, hey, your senators are these libertarian senators. And, you know, they would I used to be a dork. I'd watch C-SPAN and everything else. And I'd and I'd watch them on there. And they seem like they're fairly libertarian ish. Then the two thousand and eight financial crisis happened. And originally they voted against the Wall Street bailout of TARP. And that lasted for like twenty four hours because the stock market crashed. And then our guys ended up flipping our New Hampshire libertarians and they flipped so bad. The Johnny's new ended up becoming like the chair of the oversight committee for TARP, which, by the way, horrible fucking job. I mean, you know, we've got we can now go back and anybody sitting back looking at this thing. Oh, hey, that TARP, that money was really well allocated. Not only did he do that, he ended up becoming the chair of a finance board based on his experience with TARP for the WEF, for Klaus Schwab's organization. He also voted for the Patriot Act. He voted for Real ID, our digital ID system, and then he became a lobbyist. So to cost this guy a seat, if you understand that the real threat is technocracy, this is the face of technocracy. So the Republicans losing the Senate and this guy losing, it's not like I'm taking out a good guy. I'm taking out a guy that's worse than the Democrat in this case for a very specific reason, which is, He's effective. He has more gravitas. He's the kind of guy that what he did was when they were going to reauthorize the Patriot Act, he acted like he was a civil libertarian to try to smooth it over and then basically put in some language that made sure that the Patriot Act was reauthorized. So rather than actually stop the Patriot Act, he put in fake civil libertarian safeguards, and now we have the Patriot Act. I'll be happy to do an episode as this goes forward on the Patriot Act itself, but I would say it's the largest surveillance act in U.S. history until the Clarity Act gets passed. So there's literally nothing to lose here. So anybody making these arguments, we'd be better with a Democrat. You know what? Get a life. Actually stand up for principles. How many times are you going to get kicked in the balls over and over again? How many humiliation rituals? Everybody that I know that interacts with it says this. They don't know what his record is. They have no idea what the issues are. They're just like, well, I bet we better vote Republican. We have complete Republican rule. How's that working out? So I just want to set the precedent for that. And I understand this is not a normal strategy. Most people don't run for office because they're trying to do some, you know, some strategy to hold accountability and whatever. Most people don't think about politics at all. Most people don't know what the three branches of government are. This is why voting overall doesn't matter. But in this particular instance, and by the way, I'm gonna be ramping up with technocracy Atlas and everything else. I think people can you, as long as you understand that your involvement in politics is to slow things down, not that politics is the way to solve problems, then there's room for it. There's room for it in using politics to stop data centers at the local level. And there's been some recent success doing this. people showing up to town council meetings and everything else and voting overwhelmingly to shut this stuff down. And so in any event, this is kind of where we are on this. And I'm having a hard time actually with these red glasses, even reading that. Hold on, let me pop this up. Yeah, so again, the strategy here is warn, warn people, build, and then slow. There is a component to this. When I'm thinking about allocating my time, I would prefer to be spending a hundred percent of my time building parallel solutions. That's just not feasible right now. I hope the ratio of how I spend my time changes, but this is where it is right now. So I encourage you to check out day.com. There's a ton of information on this site. Of course, there's music. There's a bill review system. There's all my content. There's a chat bot where you can actually interact with all of the content for this podcast and my book. There are free, eleven free books that you can download. Links to all of my articles. I mean, this is not a typical campaign site where it's a fake picture of a guy and a dog and then a form for you to submit money. I am putting on this site exactly what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. And I'm going to continue to do this. So again, I don't have to run there. I'll talk about what the timetables are, what the deadlines are, so on and so forth. But I have four demands. And if you listen to the music at the beginning, I played four different songs because each demand has its own kind of song that goes along with it. But it's Free the Crypto Prisoners, Fire Howard Lutnik, Kill the Clarity Act, and then the draft. Those are, in short form, what that's all about. Now, when you go to day-twenty-twenty-six.com, you will find there's a tab called Demands. And then even on the homepage itself, there's a link to the demands. I have petitions that you can sign for three of these. And I'm going to start to get... I haven't promoted any of this yet. This is the first I've even talked about it. Most of these forms are new. But I want to get this stuff to go viral and you can help with that. This is something where one thing I hate about, one thing I'm not going to be doing is raising money so that people can buy yard signs and buttons and things with my name. If the money that I spend when it's related to raising awareness is going to be about raising awareness around these issues, because I view Buying the name recognition stuff and mailers and everything, that's all just wasted. That's just pissing money away, particularly in the context of what we're doing here. But if we can take these surveys, you know, fire, loot, nick, so on and so forth, and get them viral, this is a way to spread awareness about what these important topics are and hoping that people then look into this and say, well, why is this important? What is this all about? And you'll find all the content is there. One thing I didn't do is I don't have a petition for... The crypto prisoners because I have on the page for the crypto prisoners links to their own sites. I don't want to dilute any of their sites or collect information or anything or do anything to dilute going to their site directly and supporting them directly. And I encourage you to do that as I always have. Freeandnow.org, freeroman.com, freeromanstorm. There's a Samurai wallet one. I don't know if Ray Youssef has one, but you can find the links as they add more sites. All of these people need support if they have a petition to show that there's support, that there's true public support for them. Although I would argue what actually matters is just leverage. I mean, if you look at some of the people Trump has pardoned, it's not about whether the case was deserved or not. He's pardoned some shitty people. None of these are shitty people. These are people that promote freedom, but the righteousness of their cause isn't a factor in determining with this administration whether a pardon happens or not. Nevertheless, it helps us to support, but some of these people need financial support. And so, you know, I'm going to encourage you to do that. I know everybody's kind of strapped and I mean, I need to raise money for some of these things as well. But, you know, the two most severe cases of everything going on right now are one Roman storm. Although Roman Storm, so Roman Storm had a couple of the larger charges that he was facing. There was a hung jury or whatever. And so it looked like he was done with that and that he was basically going to be facing a maximum of about five years, which still is absurd. And we should be fighting tooth and nail over that. But the government has decided under Trump to retry those two other charges now last time i checked roman roman storm has already spent five million dollars on legal fees you remember the last podcast i had on i had tor ecklund and mike hazard and forensic analysis for roman sterlingoff's case and we had an interesting conversation about basically said look you know most of these cases settle out because people can't afford the legal fees just can't afford to take it the distance. Even if you take it the distance, the odds are you're going to lose ninety five percent of the time. And this is not a function of the fact that the people that are charged by the federal government are guilty. It's this is how stacked the deck is. You get these juries and you bring in the state. And I mean, people have been gaslit and propagandized to actually believe that the system is about promoting justice and everything else. And i had a great conversation with tor about that and i what i want to do as we get further along with this is i want to bring multiple of these well hopefully we'll get them all out and then when we get them all out i'd like to get them all on a on a you know web conference to to describe their experiences with the doj so that everybody can start to understand the commonality of tactics here but roman storm needs he's raised a lot of money he needs more money because they're retrying the case so he's now looking at like seven million total So he's already raised five and then some more on top of that, but he needs help. And there are situations here where, the only person I know that's gone the distance and won is Catherine Austin Fitz. And I had a conversation with her about this recently. And she did fight because she was actually trying to expose, she was in the administration, was trying to expose and prevent the mortgage crisis before it happened. And she ended up getting targeted. in a horrendous way. And she had the resources and she put it all on the line and ended up winning her case. But it's really rare. So Roman Storm, and I believe his is freeromanstorm.com. I get these confused. I got to look at... Let me look at my iPad for a second. I have stickers on here. And I know... Actually, that doesn't even have. It's a QR code. So Roman Sterling off is freeroman.com. And I think Roman Storm is freeromanstorm.com. But he needs financial assistance. Keone Rodriguez also needs financial assistance. He just put out a devastating tweet yesterday from Morgantown, which is where the prison that he's in. basically saying, hey, you know, we thought maybe we were going to have a pardon announcement or something at the Bitcoin conference. It didn't happen. So we kind of are resigned to the fact that, you know, he's going to have to spend five years in prison. But they have accumulated like two million dollars worth of debt fighting this case. And they're in real financial crisis. So I'm going to have Lauren Rodriguez on and we can discuss this more Next week, but but I encourage you. Thanks. Christopher says those are the right sites. I encourage you if you can to support those two financially because they're still in the thick of it. They're still fighting these things or in Keone's case, you know, I still think we're going to do everything that we can here. But it's just a tragic situation. Whatever. You'll see his wife, Lauren, is great. She really knows the issues. These are genuinely nice people that were trying to do the right thing. and it's just it's devastating to me to see this but you'll you'll see lauren but as always um you know free and now.org we need to show support there um i don't think ray yusef has has a site yet but um let's keep on with that now roman sterling off has a hearing next week in five days i believe may the twelfth in washington dc at nine thirty in the morning if you can uh please attend that and show support uh for roman and um so that's so that one is kind of the next one coming up again i you know i'm just kind of it's it's devastating i just you know it's to me this started with ian sentencing hearing and then me trying to warn people before this happened and now it's like all these these people have been sentenced and this stuff is still going on and it's outrage it's outrageous so please Please support these guys. Now I'm going to show you a clip of, I believe this is a clip from the Bitcoin conference of Patel, Kash Patel, director of the FBI and acting AG Todd Blanche. And the distinction is easy on the one hand. It's we're no longer going to regulate by prosecuting, which means quite simply that if you are a developer, if you are part of a platform, whether it's in the United States or elsewhere, we are not going to take your liberty away and prosecute you when there's not even a developed regulation that points clearly to a law that you're violating or some maxim that you're violating. And unfortunately, the last administration did that. They did that a lot. They had a cryptocurrency enforcement team. And so imagine the Department of Justice had an entire enforcement team of prosecutors, and there wasn't even any regulations around the industry at that point. And and really something I thought was fundamentally unfair to the industry, to the coders that are out there, but also anybody in the crypto stream that was affected by that. Now, to be clear, and I think this is comforting to everybody in the audience, we are not excusing outright crimes. And so we are not excusing individuals who are bad actors and who use crypto to I mean, you know, look, that's just bullshit. He said this with a straight face. Who are the developers that they've let off? Like they went through this whole conversation and said, well, you know, we're doing a great job. And as you know, you know, we're not prosecuting this stuff. Really? Tell that to Ray Yousef. They didn't stop prosecutions and they didn't halt or overturn the other stuff. They've done nothing. because they don't want privacy. Because at the end of the day, Trump and the administration and Howard Lutnik are pushing centralized tokenization. They don't want privacy, they want control. And they don't want control for the United States, they want control for themselves. That's the truth. That's the reason that these cases haven't been dismissed. It has nothing to do with whether they even did anything illegal. These are people that have to be stopped. Oh, we can't have Roger Ver speaking about things. we'll slap a gag order on him wouldn't it be great to have his voice right now we need that more than anything because you know i i would love to hear what i would love to have roger on to talk about the clarity act i wonder what he thinks about the clarity act i don't know can't talk about it um so so this just goes on on and on and they said this you know so when you go to day twenty twenty six dot com and you go to the Demand number one. Actually, I list four kind of supporting points for three of the four demands. For the one on the crypto prisoners, I don't. I just list all of the prisoners and the status of their case. But a big thing they were sitting there trying to talk about is code is speech. Based on what? Then why are the Samurai developers where they're at? Why is Roman Storm where he's at? What does that even mean? to make the statement code his speech, to be on a panel that says the war on Bitcoin is over. It was infuriating. By the way, almost nobody was there. It was a ghost town. Forty thousand people at the conference. And frankly, nobody, everybody knew these guys were going to lie. And in fact, they didn't even show up in person. They claimed that, you know, this was after the shooting or whatever that constructed thing was, the ballroom marketing strategy or whatever. So they claimed that they had to stay in Washington, D.C. for that. I think what happened is it was announced that they were going to be at the conference. And if you were on social media and you saw the image of Kash Patel and Todd Blanch, they were just getting roasted. I think these guys finally decided, listen, we don't want to show up for this. And they're right, because if you're going to show up empty-handed and lie to people, yeah, you're not going to have a good time. So we've talked about who the roster is alr
