Elon Endorses John Deaton🚀Crypto Voters Underestimated?️‍🔥INTERVIEW · The Paul Barron Crypto Show

0:07
Speaker 1: Let's dive in to a little bit of the political
0:09
Speaker 1: landscape today, and of course that will be with John Deeton.
0:11
Speaker 1: It's going to be a good one. This is probably
0:13
Speaker 1: the most important political race out there, so you definitely
0:17
Speaker 1: want to pay attention. My name is Paul Barrew, Welcome
0:19
Speaker 1: back in the tech path. Before I get started, I
0:22
Speaker 1: want to thank our sponsor, and that is Tangent. If
0:24
Speaker 1: you're looking at self custody, which is important because Elizabeth
0:27
Speaker 1: Warren likes to take away self custody. So get your
0:30
Speaker 1: start right here with Tangum. Go over tangum dot com.
0:33
Speaker 1: You can get your own wallet. This is a physical
0:35
Speaker 1: wallet that works in tandem with a app, and of
0:38
Speaker 1: course it's very easy to use, super simple to set up,
0:42
Speaker 1: and it'll start your self custody journey. So use them.
0:45
Speaker 1: Use our link down below. Just to help the channel,
0:47
Speaker 1: we've done a couple of videos for you guys. As
0:49
Speaker 1: you saw this last week, we talked and most of
0:52
Speaker 1: this was covering the two debates that Deaton. John Deaton
0:57
Speaker 1: had had a chance to basically go head to head
0:59
Speaker 1: with Warn and we had different takes on each one.
1:04
Speaker 1: Go back and watch those videos, you guys will get
1:05
Speaker 1: a lot of really good clips of understanding a lot
1:08
Speaker 1: about what's happening today. We'll break into that. I want
1:11
Speaker 1: to start off the show today with a couple of clips,
1:14
Speaker 1: and this is of course Deaton talking about crypto overall.
1:17
Speaker 2: Take a look, every time I post something about you
1:21
Speaker 2: or retweet something about you, I get overwhelmed on my
1:24
Speaker 2: X account by crypto pitches. I've actually had to mute them, which,
1:28
Speaker 2: if you know me, I rarely ever do.
1:31
Speaker 3: So if you were to look at Sue's X feed,
1:33
Speaker 3: you'd forgive her for thinking that some of these folks
1:36
Speaker 3: are single issue voters and it's just the crypto issue.
1:39
Speaker 4: How do you translate your stance.
1:41
Speaker 1: On crypto and your role in this sort of emerging
1:44
Speaker 1: field to other issues.
1:46
Speaker 5: Well, you know that's been the challenge because unfortunately crypto
1:49
Speaker 5: has taken way too much of.
1:52
Speaker 4: Time and energy.
1:53
Speaker 5: If you were to ask everyday people here in the
1:56
Speaker 5: Commonwealth to name the top ten issues, are sure you
2:00
Speaker 5: crypto is not one of them.
2:03
Speaker 1: So of course we look at it maybe a little
2:05
Speaker 1: bit differently than what John's talking about. We're going to
2:07
Speaker 1: grill him on that one. This is Perry Ann. We've
2:10
Speaker 1: had her on This is coming from the block digital Chamber,
2:12
Speaker 1: I should say, and Perryon breaks it down a little
2:15
Speaker 1: bit further into maybe that crypto voters are being underestimated.
2:19
Speaker 3: To take a look, I would love to introduce America
2:22
Speaker 3: to the crypto voter block because I think most people
2:24
Speaker 3: have underestimated the power of crypto at the polls. We're
2:28
Speaker 3: releasing our national survey today and we found that one
2:31
Speaker 3: in seven active voters, not registered voters, these are the
2:35
Speaker 3: people most likely to show up to the polls, are
2:37
Speaker 3: saying that crypto will play a significant influence in who
2:41
Speaker 3: they are going to vote for at the polls, both
2:44
Speaker 3: for the president as well as for congressional seed.
2:47
Speaker 1: Somebody made a comment there are more people in the
2:49
Speaker 1: US that own crypto than dogs, and.
2:52
Speaker 6: If that is true, wow, that's a pretty remarkable amount.
2:56
Speaker 1: Having a high time believing that.
2:58
Speaker 3: The last comprehensive stuff he was done in January of
3:01
Speaker 3: this year by coinbase and they said fifty two million
3:03
Speaker 3: Americans own cryptocurrency today, and that was released in January,
3:08
Speaker 3: and of course the spot bitcoin ETFs launched a couple
3:11
Speaker 3: of weeks after that, and we've had record inflows billions
3:14
Speaker 3: of dollars of inflows into the ETF sent so I
3:16
Speaker 3: actually think that's a conservative measure.
3:17
Speaker 4: Wow.
3:18
Speaker 3: Interestingly, four out of ten Black Americans are very pro crypto,
3:25
Speaker 3: and crypto will be a determining factor at the polls
3:28
Speaker 3: for Black America.
3:29
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to have to say, I think with
3:32
Speaker 1: perry An's statement there. Of course, the research they've been
3:34
Speaker 1: doing also just what we see in terms of new
3:37
Speaker 1: people coming onto our own channel. As you guys know,
3:40
Speaker 1: when we first started our own journey, we were at
3:42
Speaker 1: about two hundred thousand subs. We've blasted past six hundred
3:45
Speaker 1: thousand subscribers, a lot of which have been new people
3:48
Speaker 1: looking for answers around what's going on with crypto. Joining
3:51
Speaker 1: me today, of course is one of the big leaders
3:54
Speaker 1: out there in that area, and that's mister John Deton,
3:56
Speaker 1: us Senate candidate right there. How are you I'm.
3:59
Speaker 4: Doing grade bought? How are you? Excellent? Excellent?
4:03
Speaker 1: So we had a chance to watch two fun filled
4:07
Speaker 1: and fact filled debates that I think a little bit
4:11
Speaker 1: the first one was a little bit different. Second one,
4:13
Speaker 1: I think you actually wiped the floor with Senator Warren
4:16
Speaker 1: without without a doubt. So I was kind of sad
4:19
Speaker 1: that we didn't see as many people watching that one,
4:22
Speaker 1: just because of I think the company that was or
4:24
Speaker 1: the news outlet that was broadcasting it. So I want
4:28
Speaker 1: to get into some of the details today. And first
4:31
Speaker 1: of all, when you get past that, in terms of
4:35
Speaker 1: the positions that Massachusetts voters are taking now, you stated
4:39
Speaker 1: Earl there in that first clip that you felt like,
4:41
Speaker 1: maybe it's not an issue right now with voters. Do
4:44
Speaker 1: you feel any different now? I don't know if that
4:47
Speaker 1: was a clip from a couple of weeks. No, No,
4:48
Speaker 1: maybe there's more people.
4:50
Speaker 4: No.
4:50
Speaker 5: Let me explain what Perry Ann said is very consistent
4:54
Speaker 5: with what I see.
4:56
Speaker 4: Right.
4:56
Speaker 5: So, for example, I believe Massachusetts has seven million people,
5:01
Speaker 5: so it's not the biggest date, right.
5:03
Speaker 4: Seven million.
5:04
Speaker 5: I believe coinbase has about eight hundred thousand customers, and
5:09
Speaker 5: we've estimated that at least two hundred thousand others are
5:13
Speaker 5: have exposure to cryptos, So that's one out of seven.
5:17
Speaker 5: Very consistent with what Perry Anne said. What I was doing,
5:20
Speaker 5: you got to understand also, was Senata Warren's trying to
5:24
Speaker 5: make me the one that the only thing I care
5:27
Speaker 5: about is crypto. And so what I was saying is
5:30
Speaker 5: that if you ask people in Massachusetts what bothers you?
5:34
Speaker 4: What are you concern with?
5:35
Speaker 5: They would bring out the fact that the migrant crisis
5:38
Speaker 5: is bankrupting us because we have a right to shelter
5:41
Speaker 5: law that doesn't require residency, so any migrant that shows up,
5:46
Speaker 5: it's on government dime, taxpayer money feeding housing, all of that.
5:50
Speaker 5: And so it would be that and the fact that
5:52
Speaker 5: Massachusetts the second most expensive state to live in now
5:55
Speaker 5: for working people. So what I was really trying to
5:58
Speaker 5: point out, it's very nuanced, is that why is she
6:01
Speaker 5: focusing her reelection on crypto right when people are worried
6:07
Speaker 5: about other things? Why are you banning trying to ban
6:10
Speaker 5: an industry when they can't pay their rent, the inflation
6:15
Speaker 5: is crushing them, and the migrant crisis is destroying our state.
6:19
Speaker 5: And so that's really was the main local argument that
6:23
Speaker 5: I was making. I do believe looking at what Crypto's doing,
6:28
Speaker 5: stand with crypto and whatnot.
6:30
Speaker 4: If Brian Armstrong is.
6:33
Speaker 5: Correct and that the battleground states that crypto voters, single
6:39
Speaker 5: issue voters on crypto could be between one and two percent,
6:45
Speaker 5: that's the election, Paul. If you understood what the local
6:48
Speaker 5: issues here in Massachusetts, it was me making a nuanced
6:52
Speaker 5: argument that look, listen, why is she so hyper focused
6:55
Speaker 5: on crypto?
6:55
Speaker 4: Because I'm not.
6:56
Speaker 1: This was the digital chamber right here, A pro crypto
6:59
Speaker 1: stance would likely have a net positive effect on voting,
7:03
Speaker 1: continuing to prove out that we're seeing a lot more
7:07
Speaker 1: black voters that are going to come in and say
7:09
Speaker 1: crypto is kind of one of the big factors right
7:11
Speaker 1: there that play.
7:13
Speaker 4: Can I interject? Can I interject why?
7:16
Speaker 5: I want people to understand you know when I say
7:19
Speaker 5: that I agree with you. Bitcoin and crypto to me,
7:22
Speaker 5: represents freedom. It also represents the American dream. Because you
7:27
Speaker 5: want to know, Paul, you and I I think are
7:30
Speaker 5: I don't want to insult you, but I think we're
7:31
Speaker 5: around the same age.
7:32
Speaker 4: I'm fifty seven years old, right, and so.
7:36
Speaker 5: In our generation, the American dream was you could buy
7:39
Speaker 5: a house and you would pay it off and you
7:41
Speaker 5: would have a savings account and you know a little
7:44
Speaker 5: nest Egg or whatever. Well, you can't afford a house
7:47
Speaker 5: it today. So to me, bitcoin in crypto is the
7:51
Speaker 5: new American dream. And so it doesn't surprise me that
7:54
Speaker 5: four out of ten black guys are like, hey, this
7:58
Speaker 5: is a big deal to me. Because it represents the
8:00
Speaker 5: American dream. And you know, Sanata Warren doesn't have a
8:03
Speaker 5: problem go into the hood. I was in a diner
8:05
Speaker 5: the other day in Roxbury and there was an ATM
8:08
Speaker 5: for scratch tickets. Right people going there, they put in
8:11
Speaker 5: twenty bucks, they get twenty dollars of scratch tickets.
8:15
Speaker 4: No problem with that, Senator Warren.
8:17
Speaker 5: But you don't want someone to self custody bitcoin while
8:19
Speaker 5: the banks are actually getting the custody bitcoin. Her policies
8:24
Speaker 5: actually don't help poor people or the middle class in
8:26
Speaker 5: any way.
8:28
Speaker 4: Yeah.
8:28
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's the position that many of the
8:31
Speaker 1: voters there in Massachusetts probably are starting to come to realize.
8:34
Speaker 1: And it's kind of the future potential here because even
8:37
Speaker 1: those who do not own crypto, you could probably simply say,
8:40
Speaker 1: do you want the freedom to do that? Should you choose,
8:43
Speaker 1: you know, to do it in the future. Trump and
8:45
Speaker 1: Harris voters tend to think on their own, which I
8:47
Speaker 1: think is the point I'm getting at. Their own candidate
8:50
Speaker 1: is more supportive obviously with crypto than the opposing candidate,
8:53
Speaker 1: that being Trump, and we're starting to see that spread
8:56
Speaker 1: out in the polls as well. If you look at
8:58
Speaker 1: polymarket and other things out there. I want to go
9:00
Speaker 1: to a tweet that I thought was pretty interesting right here. This,
9:03
Speaker 1: of course was Brian Armstrong agreeing that Massachusetts residents should
9:07
Speaker 1: vote for you and cryptoholders in mass should realize that
9:11
Speaker 1: Senator Warren is the only one who got against his job,
9:15
Speaker 1: and of course right behind that is Elon Musk saying yes,
9:19
Speaker 1: So looks like we have two pretty powerful individuals coming
9:23
Speaker 1: in and supporting you right now. How much of an
9:25
Speaker 1: impact do you think that might make? Because I think
9:27
Speaker 1: you could also look at Cuban, who's been very anti
9:31
Speaker 1: SEC that I assume would support you. That's very bipartisan.
9:36
Speaker 4: Yes, I agree.
9:38
Speaker 5: Listen, Mark Cuban and Elon Musk are going at it,
9:42
Speaker 5: but they agree that I'm better from the country in Massachusetts.
9:46
Speaker 5: And I think that says a big deal, right because
9:51
Speaker 5: when you just add common sense approach someone who supports
9:54
Speaker 5: freedom and pro innovation, I think I'm a uniter in
9:58
Speaker 5: that sense. You know how much of impact it would have, Listen,
10:01
Speaker 5: I appreciate it. We're talking greatest entrepreneur of my lifetime
10:06
Speaker 5: who is endorsing me.
10:08
Speaker 4: How welcome that?
10:10
Speaker 5: And Mark Cuman, you know he's trying to disrupt the
10:14
Speaker 5: pharmacy with his cost plus drug to really make a
10:17
Speaker 5: difference in people's lives. I'm a big proponent of that,
10:21
Speaker 5: and he has sort of educated me and helped me
10:23
Speaker 5: on understanding how the three PBMs you know, have a
10:27
Speaker 5: stranglehold on the market at eighty percent of all scripts
10:31
Speaker 5: in America. So I really I have diehard Trump voters
10:35
Speaker 5: voting for me, die hard Harris voters supporting me, and
10:41
Speaker 5: I think that says a lot how much of impact
10:44
Speaker 5: that we have. Listen, I certainly would welcome Elon to
10:47
Speaker 5: come to Massachusetts and let's do a town hall together
10:51
Speaker 5: right there.
10:52
Speaker 4: And I as well, yeah for sure. Well.
10:56
Speaker 1: One thing also that I think a lot of people
10:58
Speaker 1: kind of miss is Senator Warren's track record, and one
11:02
Speaker 1: of the things that she's been on record about is
11:04
Speaker 1: privacy and data going against that. There's a lot of
11:07
Speaker 1: people right now that are worried about the potential of
11:11
Speaker 1: a ban on TikTok. And now this gets into the
11:14
Speaker 1: younger crowd, including teens, but also a lot of people
11:17
Speaker 1: really probably within Massachusetts might say, Okay, well this is
11:20
Speaker 1: my own data. The potential of this could be in
11:24
Speaker 1: a scenario that could go against what Senator Warren is
11:26
Speaker 1: looking for. This is again freedom of information and protecting that.
11:31
Speaker 1: It's likely that TikTok will most likely be divested here
11:35
Speaker 1: in the US. If it is, it could possibly get
11:39
Speaker 1: into a blockchain platform which would decentralize the data and
11:43
Speaker 1: we could see one of our first decentralized social media networks.
11:46
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that. Do you feel that
11:48
Speaker 1: that's a good move right now or where do you say?
11:51
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think listen.
11:53
Speaker 5: One thing that surprised me is the Democratic Party used
11:56
Speaker 5: to be the party of no wars and staunch defender
12:00
Speaker 5: First Amendment, and now it seems like it's flip flopped,
12:03
Speaker 5: you know, is all in on funding foreign wars and
12:10
Speaker 5: will be much more restrictive of the First Amendment.
12:13
Speaker 4: So you definitely want to realize that there.
12:17
Speaker 5: Is any national security issue with our data with China
12:22
Speaker 5: or someone, so I would certainly well, but we don't
12:25
Speaker 5: ban it. We play safeguards in place the divation. What
12:28
Speaker 5: you're talking about as far as divesting and then going
12:33
Speaker 5: on the blockchain and becoming a decentralizing to me that
12:36
Speaker 5: that just is an amazing kind of thought that we
12:40
Speaker 5: could be headed that way. The bottom line is this
12:43
Speaker 5: America has got to be the leader when it comes
12:47
Speaker 5: to these technologies, artificial intelligence, automation, robotics, blockchain technology. We've
12:54
Speaker 5: got to decide. If we lose this race, especially when
12:58
Speaker 5: you're talking about artificial intelligence, we could literally really put
13:04
Speaker 5: ourselves and rob our generations of future prosperity.
13:07
Speaker 4: So we have to be the leader on this.
13:09
Speaker 5: And we've got to get these elected people out, these
13:13
Speaker 5: career politicians like Senator Warren. I mean, if I don't
13:17
Speaker 5: beat Senator Warren six years from now at eighty one
13:20
Speaker 5: years old, she'll probably run again, just like Bernie Sanders
13:23
Speaker 5: is running again at eighty two years old, just like
13:26
Speaker 5: Dianne Feinstein was ninety and in a wheelchair near death and.
13:30
Speaker 4: They're willing her in to vote.
13:31
Speaker 5: We've got to elect I think, new people with new ideas.
13:36
Speaker 1: I'm going to agree with you. I want to play
13:38
Speaker 1: a clip for you. This is Harris targeting sports, betting,
13:43
Speaker 1: and video games, and I'll kind of explain this. Take
13:45
Speaker 1: a look.
13:46
Speaker 7: The Harris campaign is making an aggressive last minute effort
13:49
Speaker 7: to win over younger male voters, investing in a series
13:53
Speaker 7: of ads on male dominated sports and video game sites
13:56
Speaker 7: like DraftKings and Yahoo's Sports.
13:58
Speaker 2: Lay it on a tab before it's okay, what the
14:00
Speaker 2: hell is going on here?
14:01
Speaker 3: Because everybody's talking about it?
14:03
Speaker 2: How real is it?
14:04
Speaker 6: Is? It?
14:04
Speaker 2: Bake?
14:05
Speaker 4: What?
14:05
Speaker 6: Just give me the tea. Clearly, Donald Trump is making
14:08
Speaker 6: a whole strategy around appealing to young men. He wants
14:11
Speaker 6: to flip them. We can't let that happen. Second, this
14:14
Speaker 6: is not just a US phenomenon. This is happening across
14:16
Speaker 6: the globe. Only thirty three percent of young men now
14:19
Speaker 6: identify as Democrats. It's down from over forty percent in
14:23
Speaker 6: twenty twenty. Republicans are outspending Democrats four to one when
14:27
Speaker 6: it comes to targeting young men with online ads, and
14:30
Speaker 6: that's ten to one in key swing states like Pennsylvania.
14:33
Speaker 6: And we need to turn them out. This is a
14:35
Speaker 6: persuadable group, but we can only persuade them if we
14:39
Speaker 6: get in front of them.
14:40
Speaker 7: I need you to just list the three states where
14:42
Speaker 7: these young men represent a large proportion of the electorate.
14:45
Speaker 6: Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin.
14:47
Speaker 7: I mean, that is why we're having this conversation.
14:50
Speaker 1: My hand hurt, all right, So you can kind of
14:53
Speaker 1: see there's two big factors there one, of course, young
14:56
Speaker 1: men drafting kings if you think about that, along with
14:59
Speaker 1: Polly Marke. But all these are betting all that's crypto related.
15:02
Speaker 1: Young men understand that. Then you get into the gaming sector,
15:06
Speaker 1: which we all know, big launch of Off the Grid,
15:09
Speaker 1: huge web three game now potentially going to be one
15:13
Speaker 1: of the top games this year on the Epic Game Store,
15:15
Speaker 1: meaning young gamers also interested in the future of crypto,
15:20
Speaker 1: which are also all potentially going into the Republican slant.
15:24
Speaker 1: This could be good for you, John, Younger men in
15:28
Speaker 1: Massachusetts going about those areas, what do you think?
15:31
Speaker 5: No, now it is you know, I'm doing real well polling.
15:36
Speaker 5: I'm doing less well than I had hoped with women,
15:40
Speaker 5: and it's only because they haven't found me enough, Like
15:43
Speaker 5: they don't know me yet right. For example, if all
15:46
Speaker 5: they see is I'm a Republican white male, they might
15:49
Speaker 5: assume that I'm not pro choice when I am pro choice.
15:53
Speaker 5: So once women get to know me, they do come,
15:56
Speaker 5: including Democrats, come to support me. But I agree that
16:02
Speaker 5: it's well, that it's good for me. But here is
16:05
Speaker 5: a generational thing. At the end of the day.
16:07
Speaker 4: If you look at Elizabeth Warren versus.
16:12
Speaker 5: Representative Richie Torres, right, Richie Torres pro crypto, knows that
16:18
Speaker 5: Gainstler's bad. Elizabeth Warren, they're both Democrats, wants to ban
16:23
Speaker 5: the technology, and so we really do have a generational
16:26
Speaker 5: divide here. But I think that there are a lot of
16:29
Speaker 5: young people are making a difference, and a lot's going
16:33
Speaker 5: to depend on the turnout and how big the turnout goes.
16:36
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.
16:37
Speaker 5: But I can tell you this when it comes to
16:39
Speaker 5: the polling, and I've never BS. You know me, Paul,
16:42
Speaker 5: your viewers know me. I don't get up here in
16:44
Speaker 5: ibs or anything like that. If all the voters know
16:47
Speaker 5: is John Deaton Republican Swansea Mass, Elizabeth Warren Democrat, Cambridge Mass,
16:53
Speaker 5: I'll lose by twenty points. Once they learn that I'm
16:56
Speaker 5: pro choice and I'm a veteran. Our polling show I'm
17:00
Speaker 5: down seven points, just those two points, just those two things.
17:04
Speaker 5: Once they get to know more about where I stand
17:06
Speaker 5: on policy and all those types of things that I'm
17:09
Speaker 5: in a common sense and the economy, then it becomes tight.
17:13
Speaker 5: And so it really is about whether or not I
17:15
Speaker 5: can reach enough voters in time to pull off a
17:19
Speaker 5: huge upset to say the least.
17:22
Speaker 1: Well, I think the key here is is that it's interesting.
17:25
Speaker 1: I even made this statement when I watched the two debates.
17:29
Speaker 1: Warren was really fighting in that debate, so it kind
17:33
Speaker 1: of showed me that obviously she took you as a
17:35
Speaker 1: serious contender and was worried about her current race. I
17:39
Speaker 1: haven't necessarily seen her in that kind of position before.
17:42
Speaker 4: So kudos.
17:43
Speaker 5: No, no, you're right, But you want to know something that
17:46
Speaker 5: I want everyone out there to know is that you can't.
17:50
Speaker 5: We've cryptos here to stay, Paul, You and I know,
17:54
Speaker 5: going back three four years ago, it didn't look so
17:56
Speaker 5: great right for the industry.
17:58
Speaker 4: It was doom and gloom.
17:59
Speaker 5: And now you have both presidents trying to see who's
18:03
Speaker 5: you know, Vice President Harris is doing a reset. Allegedly
18:07
Speaker 5: Donald Trump said he's gonna make America the crypto capital
18:10
Speaker 5: of the world.
18:11
Speaker 4: So those two things are big.
18:13
Speaker 5: But you notice when the moderator in the first debate
18:17
Speaker 5: himself said to Senator Warren, basically, you were building an
18:21
Speaker 5: anti crypto army, and you notice what she said.
18:24
Speaker 4: She backed off and.
18:25
Speaker 5: Goes, well, I don't care in mind if people lie,
18:28
Speaker 5: and so we're already damaging that narrative that she started with.
18:33
Speaker 5: And so you always have to strategically ask yourself, you know,
18:39
Speaker 5: are you winning the ultimate war even if you're losing
18:42
Speaker 5: some battles. And I think that we're winning the war,
18:45
Speaker 5: you know what I mean? Freedom is going to win
18:46
Speaker 5: out at the end of the day, no doubt.
18:49
Speaker 1: I'm on your side. This is a this is an
18:51
Speaker 1: interesting move, and I want to it has nothing to
18:53
Speaker 1: do with Massachusetts, and I wanted your opinion on this is
18:55
Speaker 1: talking about Chris Larson. He's one of the co founders
18:58
Speaker 1: over at Ripple and he has put together a ten
19:01
Speaker 1: million dollar Future Forward Fund super pac supporting Kamala Harris.
19:06
Speaker 1: Why do you think Larson XRP Ripple going in on
19:11
Speaker 1: supporting Harris?
19:12
Speaker 5: What are your thoughts there, Listen, I can't really speculate.
19:17
Speaker 5: I know this is what I want us to get
19:20
Speaker 5: back to. I want us to get back to a
19:23
Speaker 5: place where let's say that Paul Baron and John Deeton
19:27
Speaker 5: don't agree on the president.
19:29
Speaker 4: We may very well, but whatever say we don't. We
19:32
Speaker 4: got to get back to.
19:33
Speaker 5: Being able to say I disagree with who you're voting
19:35
Speaker 5: for president, but I don't disagree with you, you know, I mean,
19:38
Speaker 5: we've got to get back to that point. You know,
19:41
Speaker 5: I think it's ironic.
19:42
Speaker 4: I brought it up.
19:42
Speaker 5: I don't know if you recalled it in the debate
19:44
Speaker 5: where I said that, you know, if I don't sue
19:46
Speaker 5: the SEC and help get XRP deemed legal, that donation
19:50
Speaker 5: in XRP to your candidate or choice senator doesn't happen. So,
19:54
Speaker 5: Madame Vice President, you're welcome, right, And so I think
19:59
Speaker 5: it's come.
19:59
Speaker 4: Along way though.
20:00
Speaker 5: I would think just imagine we have both and I
20:05
Speaker 5: tweeted this out today, we have both presidential candidates accepting
20:09
Speaker 5: crypto donations through coin based commerce platform. Yet who has
20:15
Speaker 5: the SCC Yeah, the SEC suing Coinbase for illegal business,
20:22
Speaker 5: illegal business, when both presidents I also have coin based
20:26
Speaker 5: commerce and accept crypto donations. So if you don't mind
20:29
Speaker 5: me saying John datonfor Senate dot Com, please not at all,
20:33
Speaker 5: absolutely all right, but anyways, yeah, that that isn't that
20:36
Speaker 5: crazy though, If that doesn't show you how broken her
20:40
Speaker 5: anti crypto army is, uh and how insane Washington's become
20:46
Speaker 5: that both presidents accept crypto from Coinbase, yet Coinbase has
20:50
Speaker 5: an illegal operation.
20:51
Speaker 4: According to Gary Gensler. Yeah, exactly.
20:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, for you guys, want to check the website out,
20:56
Speaker 1: John just mentioned it, John Datonfsenate dot com right there.
20:59
Speaker 1: You guys can get in there and of course donate,
21:01
Speaker 1: including crypto so and it's a good video to watch too.
21:04
Speaker 1: I've watched this one. I think it's a good representation
21:07
Speaker 1: of what you're standing for there in the great state
21:10
Speaker 1: of Massachusetts, which are lucky to have you guys out
21:12
Speaker 1: there running like this, going head to head with Senator
21:15
Speaker 1: Warren So.
21:15
Speaker 4: I think it's great.
21:16
Speaker 1: I like that one. No fear and never give up.
21:18
Speaker 1: I want to talk about a couple of things, and
21:20
Speaker 1: that is polls, because I think there's a lot of
21:22
Speaker 1: people in Massachusetts who are not showing up in the polls.
21:26
Speaker 1: The polls actually you know, it's thirty four fifty six
21:29
Speaker 1: if you go to five thirty eight. This could be
21:32
Speaker 1: an easy miscarriage of a lot of votes that have
21:35
Speaker 1: not necessarily come together just yet. This is the most
21:37
Speaker 1: recent coming out of the WCVB poll and you can
21:41
Speaker 1: see that on the five thirty eight blog if you
21:43
Speaker 1: guys want to check it out. But if you look
21:44
Speaker 1: at polymarket, it's a little different. I think that's more
21:47
Speaker 1: of a situation of the size of the race. You know,
21:50
Speaker 1: it's not a massive race, but it is an important
21:53
Speaker 1: race in Senate, in the in the Senate race, especially
21:55
Speaker 1: against Elizabeth Warren. So I think that's the factor that
21:59
Speaker 1: you've got to overcome. Hopefully people are going to show
22:02
Speaker 1: up here. I've got some cool data at the end.
22:05
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're aware of it, but I don't think
22:07
Speaker 1: our audience is aware of especially those of you in Massachusetts.
22:10
Speaker 4: But I'll go to another.
22:11
Speaker 1: Tweet right here. This to me was a low blow,
22:14
Speaker 1: I thought, and that was coming in from Elizabeth Warren.
22:18
Speaker 1: She had this ad ready to go. Literally, it was
22:22
Speaker 1: cued up, ready to go.
22:23
Speaker 4: Right after your debate.
22:25
Speaker 1: So these are the kind of swamp creatures that we're
22:28
Speaker 1: dealing with here, John.
22:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, listen the bottom line. And I called her out.
22:35
Speaker 5: You know, she plays politics, but you know I'm pro choice,
22:38
Speaker 5: and she's still telling voters that she's literally misleading voters
22:43
Speaker 5: that somehow I will help a federal abortion band. It
22:47
Speaker 5: just goes to show you. You know, my daughters asked
22:49
Speaker 5: me Paul not to run because they were like, politics
22:52
Speaker 5: are nasty, Dad, and we don't want you know, you're
22:55
Speaker 5: just too honest and it's not the world that you
22:58
Speaker 5: should be a part of. They didn't want to see
23:00
Speaker 5: the stuff that she's doing, but it's kind of desperate.
23:04
Speaker 4: At the end of the day. Her fingerprint, her fingerprints
23:07
Speaker 4: are on it. You know.
23:07
Speaker 5: If she doesn't in two thousand and thirteen abolish the
23:12
Speaker 5: filibuster rule, the Supreme Court wouldn't have gotten the justices
23:16
Speaker 5: that they got and role would still be the law
23:19
Speaker 5: of the land. So it just goes to show you
23:21
Speaker 5: that truth never gets in Sara Warren's way.
23:24
Speaker 1: Ever, moving on to the topic of the sec one
23:28
Speaker 1: of your favorite topics and the potential of a Gary
23:32
Speaker 1: Ginsler replacement. You've got a couple of people out there
23:35
Speaker 1: that are playing into this, including what the scoop from
23:40
Speaker 1: Laura Schen This is basically maybe Kamala Harris positioning a
23:44
Speaker 1: couple of people. But one of course has been Chris Brummer.
23:47
Speaker 1: You guys might remember him. We've covered Blueprint before and
23:51
Speaker 1: this is one of the Web three So he's Web
23:53
Speaker 1: three native. He kind of understands what's out there. Cuban
23:55
Speaker 1: is connected with him. If you go further, you can
23:58
Speaker 1: kind of see the relationship right there. On the task
24:01
Speaker 1: force that was created already. Do you think Brummer would
24:05
Speaker 1: be a good selection for the SEC You know, I.
24:09
Speaker 4: Don't, I don't really, I really don't know Chris that well.
24:13
Speaker 4: I've never met him.
24:14
Speaker 5: I know that he's knowledgeable, but you know, we have
24:17
Speaker 5: to be careful when we say, well, the person's knowledgeable.
24:20
Speaker 5: Gary Ginsler was knowledgeable and he was a MIT and so,
24:25
Speaker 5: but it's hard to imagine anything.
24:28
Speaker 4: I would certainly go on record to say I believe
24:29
Speaker 4: Chris bro would be a lot better than Gary Ginsler.
24:33
Speaker 5: Now that's like someone saying John Deaton be a lot
24:35
Speaker 5: better than Elizabeth Warren.
24:37
Speaker 4: Right, it's so bad that anything is an improvement.
24:42
Speaker 5: And so, but I would I would imagine with Mark
24:46
Speaker 5: Cuban having a close relationship with him. You know, Mark
24:50
Speaker 5: seems to believe you could take it or leave it,
24:54
Speaker 5: that's your opinion and position. But he genuinely seems to
24:58
Speaker 5: believe that Harris wants to do a reset. And so
25:03
Speaker 5: the fact that they're leaking out potential replacements of Gensler,
25:07
Speaker 5: you know, is maybe indicative that she's going to do that.
25:12
Speaker 4: It's very difficult.
25:13
Speaker 5: Listen, you got Anthony Scaramucci helping Vice President Harris. You
25:17
Speaker 5: got Mark Cuban helping Vice President Harris. Both of them
25:20
Speaker 5: are certainly crypto friendly, and so you would imagine, you
25:23
Speaker 5: would imagine that they're in her ear, saying Gensler is
25:28
Speaker 5: a problem. He is a real problem, and the fact
25:32
Speaker 5: that she wants to do a crypto reset is a
25:36
Speaker 5: repudiation of Elizabeth Warren and her anti crypto army, with
25:40
Speaker 5: Elizabeth Warren now saying I don't mind if people own crypto.
25:44
Speaker 5: I think people should feel confident that we are winning
25:48
Speaker 5: the war.
25:49
Speaker 4: Yeah.
25:49
Speaker 1: Do you think that Harris would pull the trigger as
25:53
Speaker 1: a last resort before the election on Gensler? Maybe as
25:59
Speaker 1: a hail Mary?
26:01
Speaker 5: I mean, if I were advising her, I would certainly say, listen,
26:07
Speaker 5: if crypto could be a one percent difference in the
26:10
Speaker 5: swing States, then you should come out right now and
26:14
Speaker 5: say that, maybe even announce here are yeah, like I'm
26:21
Speaker 5: going to replace him with one of these people or not.
26:24
Speaker 5: Just come out and say that you're going to replace
26:27
Speaker 5: Gary Gensler as chairman on day one of your presidency,
26:32
Speaker 5: and that would send a message you have to show
26:35
Speaker 5: some kind of action instead of just talk. People are
26:38
Speaker 5: exhausted from the talk and so I think that that
26:41
Speaker 5: would be smarter her. I'd be surprised if Mark Cuban
26:44
Speaker 5: and Anthony Scaramucci don't say to her, Madam Vice President,
26:48
Speaker 5: you really need to do this if you want to
26:50
Speaker 5: send the message to voters, because I will tell you
26:54
Speaker 5: I have had lifelong Democrat voters ask me one question,
27:00
Speaker 5: like Johnna, you pro choice and I go yes. They're like, Okay,
27:03
Speaker 5: then I'm voting for you because because they're crypto, like
27:07
Speaker 5: it's a crypto person and they just want to make
27:11
Speaker 5: sure I'm moderate on social issues. And once they find
27:13
Speaker 5: out I'm moderate on social issues, then the crypto becomes.
27:17
Speaker 4: The issue for the factor, Yeah, for sure becomes I'm looking.
27:22
Speaker 4: I'm looking at the registered voters.
27:24
Speaker 1: This is the party enrollment as of August twenty fourth
27:28
Speaker 1: here in Massachusetts. I'll zoom in on this to show you.
27:31
Speaker 1: But if you look at the data, that's voters right
27:33
Speaker 1: there in the first column, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, and unenrolled.
27:36
Speaker 1: The unenrolled number surprised me. Three point two million, four
27:40
Speaker 1: to eighteen thousand Republicans. So the Democrats outweigh the Republicans,
27:45
Speaker 1: but three point two million unenrolled that's a wide open
27:50
Speaker 1: race if you can win any of that unenrolled.
27:53
Speaker 5: So just so your voters know, Number one, mass Chusetts,
27:56
Speaker 5: number one, sixty four percent are in dependent. They're called
28:01
Speaker 5: unenrolled here, but it's independent voters. Twenty six ish percent Democrat,
28:07
Speaker 5: only eight point something Republican. But yes, so I could
28:13
Speaker 5: get every Republican vote and I'd get eight percent, right,
28:17
Speaker 5: And so you have to appeal to that independent voter
28:22
Speaker 5: here in Massachusetts. And Elizabeth Warren, the good news was
28:27
Speaker 5: that in twenty eighteen she had fifty four percent of
28:32
Speaker 5: the independence inclined to vote for her. We did a
28:35
Speaker 5: poll that showed she was at thirty three percent, so
28:39
Speaker 5: that she lost twenty two points off independence. If I
28:42
Speaker 5: were to win the two other out of three independents,
28:46
Speaker 5: I win. You know.
28:47
Speaker 4: Now that's not to suggest.
28:48
Speaker 5: I'm going to win them all, but I'm just telling
28:50
Speaker 5: you that that shows you that it is achievable if
28:54
Speaker 5: you can reach them.
28:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a potential there. Well listen, John, We're pulling
28:58
Speaker 1: for you, and of course we are putting out the
29:00
