Trump’s Nefarious Plan for Bitcoin, Humiliation Rituals in DC & the Clean Hands Caucus

In this episode, Alex starts by talking about why he is angry — certain Republicans are willing to call Donald Trump an existential threat to democracy, but at the same time, some powerful Republicans compare Joe Biden to Trump. He argues that this will make it so that some anti-Trump voters may see no point in voting. He talks a lot about a Tom Nichols piece around this issue. Later, Alex laughs and cries about Donald Trump finally returning to the captiol for his birthday,  three years after January 6th. (Republican) Congress welcomed him with open arms, while wanting to rename certain national waters in his name, and took part in the humilation ritual that the current party needs to participate in. Alex laments the attendance of people like Mitch McConnell. Finally, a recent headline made it sound like Donald Trump joked about making Bitcoin made in America. Alex looks into the real story — Bitcoin mining executives met with Trump in Florida, behind closed doors, to push him to embrace mining in America. These entities see Trump as a vessell to push their policies while undermining regulations, environmentalism, and current federal stances on AI. These same entities are working to help Trump get reelected to further their views on crypto supremacy.
