Bitcoin Legal Tender and Epstein Files: Crypto Hype Meets Broken Promises

Alex: 00:00:00

“Thirty-eight trillion in debt.

2

: 00:00:02

Bitcoin as legal tender.

3

: 00:00:03

Conspiracies about France’s first lady.

4

: 00:00:06

The wildest headlines hide the

deepest cracks—and today, Dave

5

: 00:00:09

and Jerremy dig into what they

reveal about America’s future.”

6

: 00:00:14

Dave Conley: All right, we're

gonna end this with a few quick

7

: 00:00:16

hot takes on some fun topics.

8

: 00:00:19

We've covered a lot of good

because we could I, you know, I

9

: 00:00:21

could talk an hour on Gaza too.

10

: 00:00:22

That is just, ugh, the worst.

11

: 00:00:25

Ted Cruz, he wants to make

Bitcoin in Texas legal tender.

12

: 00:00:30

What is this?

13

: 00:00:31

Have you heard this?

14

: 00:00:32

Jerremy Newsome: Of course it, I don't

15

: 00:00:33

Dave Conley: What?

16

: 00:00:34

Jerremy Newsome: not legal Tinder.

17

: 00:00:35

Makes no sense to me.

18

: 00:00:36

Dave Conley: can you just buy

stuff with Bitcoin now or not?

19

: 00:00:40

Jerremy Newsome: Absolutely.

20

: 00:00:40

Dave Conley: I don't know.

21

: 00:00:41

Jerremy Newsome: Florida.

22

: 00:00:42

Dave Conley: What's he's just saying,

roll up to seven 11 if you need, a

23

: 00:00:44

pack of smoke so you can, use one 1

trillion trillionth of a Bitcoin for it.

24

: 00:00:49

Jerremy Newsome: what he, exactly.

25

: 00:00:50

What he is really saying

is, Hey, everyone.

26

: 00:00:53

Start accepting Bitcoin in your

payout and in your checkouts.

27

: 00:00:57

Because it's like an Apple reader.

28

: 00:00:58

Like you could do Coinbase wallet.

29

: 00:01:00

There's 400,000 different point

of sale systems you can already

30

: 00:01:04

use that you pay in Bitcoin.

31

: 00:01:05

Dave Conley: Yeah, so do you keep it, if

I'm a retail, if like I, if I'm accepting

32

: 00:01:09

it, do I keep it in Bitcoin or is it

converted to, what do they call Fiat,

33

: 00:01:15

Jerremy Newsome: be converted.

34

: 00:01:15

You would, you'd get paid in Bitcoin, so

you'd receive the Bitcoin like dollars.

35

: 00:01:20

Dave Conley: Yeah,

36

: 00:01:20

Jerremy Newsome: receive dollars.

37

: 00:01:21

So if somebody wants rupees,

they gotta convert it

38

: 00:01:25

Dave Conley: right.

39

: 00:01:25

Jerremy Newsome: If you get Bitcoin

as a payment, you have to take

40

: 00:01:28

that Bitcoin and then convert it

into whatever currency you want.

41

: 00:01:32

Euros, dollars, yin,

42

: 00:01:34

Dave Conley: I see.

43

: 00:01:35

Jerremy Newsome: keep it as Bitcoin

44

: 00:01:36

Dave Conley: But Bitcoin is way

more volatile than like a US dollar.

45

: 00:01:40

So it's like

46

: 00:01:41

Jerremy Newsome: more.

47

: 00:01:42

Dave Conley: You,

48

: 00:01:42

Jerremy Newsome: what's ironic, Dave,

as much as a bitcoin maximalist as I am,

49

: 00:01:45

I don't think it should be a currency.

50

: 00:01:47

That's a dumb idea.

51

: 00:01:48

It moves on average 7% a week

52

: 00:01:52

Dave Conley: that's dumb.

53

: 00:01:54

That,

54

: 00:01:55

Jerremy Newsome: So

55

: 00:01:55

Dave Conley: dumb.

56

: 00:01:56

You know what I think of

digital currency like I am,

57

: 00:02:00

Jerremy Newsome: take.

58

: 00:02:00

I like your take.

59

: 00:02:01

You, you

60

: 00:02:02

Dave Conley: I,

61

: 00:02:02

Jerremy Newsome: down a couple

notches on my crypto world.

62

: 00:02:05

Dave Conley: you are gonna get a lot

of stuff from me, but you're gonna

63

: 00:02:08

get an article that is profound

and I want you to read on it.

64

: 00:02:12

This is the title.

65

: 00:02:13

Money by vile means,

66

: 00:02:16

but it is from a former crypto

Maximalist who has seen my ways.

67

: 00:02:25

So I'm gonna love your take on it.

68

: 00:02:28

So we will, I will link it

in the show notes for those

69

: 00:02:31

listening to our discussion.

70

: 00:02:33

But, okay, so something else.

71

: 00:02:36

Fun.

72

: 00:02:36

Let's, um, oh my goodness.

73

: 00:02:39

Candace owns and Jit

Macron, what do you have?

74

: 00:02:42

Do you know, did this, any

of this reach your radar?

75

: 00:02:45

Is this outta your wheelhouse?

76

: 00:02:47

Jerremy Newsome: That

one's outta my wheelhouse.

77

: 00:02:49

I know what you're talking about.

78

: 00:02:50

Dave Conley: Candace

Owen is because she's the

79

: 00:02:53

Jerremy Newsome: Yep.

80

: 00:02:53

Dave Conley: She's been on this

war path for months and months.

81

: 00:02:55

She put together this whole

series saying that the first lady

82

: 00:02:58

of France is actually a dude.

83

: 00:02:59

Right?

84

: 00:03:00

Jerremy Newsome: Oh boy.

85

: 00:03:01

The right cracked me up, dude.

86

: 00:03:03

Dave Conley: I just hilarious.

87

: 00:03:05

And so now the first lady of now je and

her, her husband, the, you know the, I

88

: 00:03:13

don't know Prime minister, is he Prime?

89

: 00:03:14

No, he's not Prime minister.

90

: 00:03:15

He president of France are

suing her in American courts.

91

: 00:03:20

200 page complaint lays out 22 counts over

becoming jits series and related claims.

92

: 00:03:27

And JIT is not or I'm sorry

Owens is doubling down.

93

: 00:03:31

She actually bet Pi Morgan $300,000

that she will prove her case.

94

: 00:03:37

She cannot wait for disclosure on it.

95

: 00:03:41

What is it?

96

: 00:03:41

Di discovery on this, right?

97

: 00:03:44

Jerremy Newsome: Wow.

98

: 00:03:45

Dave Conley: And get this, Owen says

president Trump asked her after Macron

99

: 00:03:50

actually visited the White House to stop

pushing the JE is trans theory, which she

100

: 00:03:57

briefly did, but now she's doubling down.

101

: 00:03:59

I actually, I listened to the, I can't,

like it is totally like housewives

102

: 00:04:05

of New j New Jersey kind of stuff.

103

: 00:04:08

I listened to it and damn, it's

not, it's compelling, right?

104

: 00:04:11

I think she's right.

105

: 00:04:12

I'm and it's totally different than

the right wingers thinking that,

106

: 00:04:17

Jerremy Newsome: michelle Obama's a man.

107

: 00:04:19

Dave Conley: Obama's a dude

that's, that I know is wrong.

108

: 00:04:21

This is like legit.

109

: 00:04:23

She has poured more energy

into this and she's traced it

110

: 00:04:27

out and has all this evidence.

111

: 00:04:28

I'm like, man, if Jit isn't a

dude, like it would be shocking.

112

: 00:04:33

So it's frigging fascinating how she's

got this she's just GNA down on it and

113

: 00:04:39

I'm like, I love, it's like Popcorn City.

114

: 00:04:42

Alright that's one.

115

: 00:04:44

And then, this is the perennial thing.

116

: 00:04:47

Epstein files, like we have

gone all over the map on this.

117

: 00:04:51

The administration is

saying nothing to see here.

118

: 00:04:55

Jerremy Newsome: Trump over

and over and over keep saying

119

: 00:04:58

it almost on a weekly basis.

120

: 00:04:59

Like, why do you guys even care?

121

: 00:05:01

Dave Conley: all the time.

122

: 00:05:01

Jerremy Newsome: and I'm over

here because you said to your

123

: 00:05:04

voter base that's why they care.

124

: 00:05:07

You literally said you and

125

: 00:05:09

Dave Conley: For years.

126

: 00:05:11

Jerremy Newsome: Over a decade.

127

: 00:05:13

And then now that they're coming

out, now that they're released

128

: 00:05:17

Dave Conley: yeah.

129

: 00:05:17

Just kidding.

130

: 00:05:19

Jerremy Newsome: Here's the thing.

131

: 00:05:20

I think every single person knows that

Trump's name's gonna be on the file.

132

: 00:05:23

The question is not necessarily,

is his name on there?

133

: 00:05:25

The question is okay what's actually here?

134

: 00:05:28

What are the Epstein files in totality?

135

: 00:05:32

Dave Conley: Yeah.

136

: 00:05:32

Jerremy Newsome: just flight logs.

137

: 00:05:34

Like we literally have photos

138

: 00:05:37

Dave Conley: Right.

139

: 00:05:37

Jerremy Newsome: Trump and S Epstein

sitting a plane together, who's playing?

140

: 00:05:41

I don't know.

141

: 00:05:42

But there's like dozens of them.

142

: 00:05:44

There's like dozens of photos.

143

: 00:05:46

So we know that they

were on a plane together.

144

: 00:05:47

That's an irrelevant topic.

145

: 00:05:48

And again, we have dozens of photos

of them hanging out together.

146

: 00:05:52

So it's were they buddy, buddy?

147

: 00:05:54

And to give Trump some obvious

credit, just because you're

148

: 00:05:58

friends with someone doesn't mean

that you condone what they do.

149

: 00:06:01

So just 'cause he's friends with Epstein

or knows Epstein or hangs out with him

150

: 00:06:05

or spent any amount of time, hours, or

minutes, also doesn't mean that he is

151

: 00:06:08

very familiar with his personal life.

152

: 00:06:10

So I would by no means say that Trump was

extremely aware of what was happening.

153

: 00:06:14

I would not personally go that

deep to say that presently.

154

: 00:06:16

'cause I have no information on that.

155

: 00:06:18

However, this, and even

our dog, Patrick bet, David

156

: 00:06:25

Was like, Trump, you gotta release

those files, dude, your voter

157

: 00:06:27

base is hating you right now.

158

: 00:06:29

Dave Conley: Yeah.

159

: 00:06:30

Yeah.

160

: 00:06:30

Jerremy Newsome: that was the reason the

MAGA tribe is take us, take the system

161

: 00:06:35

down, expose all the pedophiles, bring

162

: 00:06:38

Dave Conley: Yeah.

163

: 00:06:38

Jerremy Newsome: knees the swamp.

164

: 00:06:40

Dave Conley: Yeah.

165

: 00:06:40

Yeah.

166

: 00:06:41

Jerremy Newsome: Actually Epstein

and me were buddies for 27 years in

167

: 00:06:45

And so I don't know if I can do that.

168

: 00:06:46

Sorry.

169

: 00:06:47

'cause he read the files and he's

gonna sweep this under the rug and

170

: 00:06:51

it's gonna be the thing that puts

a huge stand on this presidency.

171

: 00:06:55

Dave Conley: I think it's like there's no

question that Epstein was a dark actor and

172

: 00:07:01

Jerremy Newsome: Zero.

173

: 00:07:01

He's a horrible human being.

174

: 00:07:02

Horrible.

175

: 00:07:03

Dave Conley: And we've had

these dark actors throughout

176

: 00:07:06

history because they are.

177

: 00:07:09

They are the linchpin for espionage.

178

: 00:07:12

They are the key people

to put leverage on people.

179

: 00:07:15

They are involved with getting

weapons and things to places where

180

: 00:07:19

governments, you know, have to act.

181

: 00:07:21

You know, governments deal with

bad people, and so they get bad

182

: 00:07:25

people to do bad things in order

to make, the, this is the, this

183

: 00:07:29

is the ugly side of real politic.

184

: 00:07:34

And he was one of these people and

he worked for a lot bad actors and he

185

: 00:07:43

worked for politicians and he had deep

interest in science and technology.

186

: 00:07:47

He had all of these scientists

and this was, just pure influence

187

: 00:07:51

listening to Eric Weinstein, who

actually met up with the dude.

188

: 00:07:55

And he was, at Harvard doing

mathematics and he ran into this guy.

189

: 00:08:02

Eric Weinstein is one of the

premier people on the planet for

190

: 00:08:06

understanding how hedge funds work.

191

: 00:08:08

He was a partner with Peter Thiel on this.

192

: 00:08:12

And he said, I spent 10 minutes with guy.

193

: 00:08:14

And he, the guy clearly knew nothing

about fx and he knew nothing about

194

: 00:08:18

finance, even though he was running

supposedly the largest, FX fund on

195

: 00:08:22

the planet, it was all shenanigans.

196

: 00:08:25

And the right has been primed for

this for a decade, just like you said.

197

: 00:08:32

And it is at the cornerstone of there

are these bad actors, and these bad

198

: 00:08:39

actors have all of the money, all

of the rights, all the privileges.

199

: 00:08:43

The rules don't apply to them.

200

: 00:08:46

The laws don't apply to them.

201

: 00:08:48

And they do terrible things.

202

: 00:08:51

And you know, like, certainly like

the pedophilia and all that stuff.

203

: 00:08:54

And like that was, you know, like,

just crime after crime, after

204

: 00:08:57

crime proven over and over again.

205

: 00:09:00

We need to hold people accountable.

206

: 00:09:02

This was at the core of the MAGA

base, and it's the core of most people

207

: 00:09:07

being like, look, you know, like they,

there really are political elites.

208

: 00:09:10

There really are oligarchs.

209

: 00:09:12

There really are like, like people

that the rules don't apply to.

210

: 00:09:17

And this has gotta stop.

211

: 00:09:19

Like we've got to, we've got to

frog march out some people, because

212

: 00:09:24

they never have been done this.

213

: 00:09:25

I mean, this was obvious in 2008

when, uh, the entire economy crashed

214

: 00:09:30

and nobody went to jail, right?

215

: 00:09:31

No one.

216

: 00:09:32

And in fact the bankers

got their fucking bonuses.

217

: 00:09:36

And I'm like, can you imagine?

218

: 00:09:37

You are like, uh, you know, nobody

in the entire war on terror.

219

: 00:09:43

Nobody in the Bush

administration went to jail.

220

: 00:09:46

It was absolute torture that we

sanctioned and nobody went to jail.

221

: 00:09:52

It's nobody went to jail

for crashing the economy.

222

: 00:09:54

No.

223

: 00:09:55

And so, like, over and over again, Epstein

is at the core of this, he is the poster

224

: 00:10:00

child of all of these people who've

never been held accountable for anything.

225

: 00:10:04

And you know, it's like, look, you cannot

do this to this crowd because this is

226

: 00:10:11

exactly what they've been screaming about.

227

: 00:10:13

This is what got Trump elected

was being like, drain the swamp.

228

: 00:10:18

Jerremy Newsome: Correct.

229

: 00:10:19

Dave Conley: Like you, you know

these people so you can go after 'em,

230

: 00:10:23

like you've taken all the slings and

the arrows, like there was a lot of

231

: 00:10:26

law fair going up to the election,

but I, was absolute shenanigans.

232

: 00:10:31

Take care of this.

233

: 00:10:32

And now they're being

like, ah, just kidding.

234

: 00:10:34

There's no files, there's no

list, there's no fraud marked.

235

: 00:10:38

Nobody's going to jail.

236

: 00:10:40

That is like the biggest slap in the face.

237

: 00:10:42

And I think that this will absolutely

crater anything with this administration.

238

: 00:10:47

You will take that 30% core of Naga

and keep them wrapped around the axle.

239

: 00:10:51

You will never be able

to get them off of this.

240

: 00:10:53

You have to give them something.

241

: 00:10:55

You cannot just let this go.

242

: 00:10:58

Jerremy Newsome: I'm with you, bro.

243

: 00:10:59

Yeah, that part I am really tuned into.

244

: 00:11:01

'cause it's all over Twitter.

245

: 00:11:02

Charlie, even dude, even Charlie,

Kirk, Patrick be David Grant Cardone

246

: 00:11:07

Dave Conley: Tim Dylan has

the greatest takes on this.

247

: 00:11:09

I listen to him every week.

248

: 00:11:10

He's one of the smartest

political funniest actors.

249

: 00:11:13

I couldn't recommend his podcast

more I want him on this podcast.

250

: 00:11:17

It's like he is so smart and is so

in tune with this, and he is look the

251

: 00:11:22

Gaza thing, this is absolute disaster.

252

: 00:11:24

You can't be starving kids and

bombing people outta the Bolivian

253

: 00:11:27

and these Epstein files will

actually greater this administration.

254

: 00:11:31

I think he's right.

255

: 00:11:32

Jerremy Newsome: Yeah, I agree.

256

: 00:11:33

'Cause that was the.

257

: 00:11:35

I was gonna say whatever

the, hang their hat on, I

258

: 00:11:37

Dave Conley: Yeah.

Jerremy Newsome: term, but that

was the one that they're like, oh

260

: 00:11:40

yeah, Trump's gonna deliver this.

261

: 00:11:42

Dave Conley: Right.

262

: 00:11:42

Jerremy Newsome: your point, probably

earlier as a good wrap up, d DC it was,

263

: 00:11:45

it's probably that would make America

like the majority of Americans happy,

264

: 00:11:51

He goes, here's the Epstein list family.

265

: 00:11:54

And not only that, have already researched

for the CIA and the FBI have already done.

266

: 00:12:00

And Candace Owens, apparently

she's great at research.

267

: 00:12:04

Like those three entities

have already began to, study

268

: 00:12:10

and investigate every person.

269

: 00:12:11

And here's what's going on, right?

270

: 00:12:13

Because it is a travesty like what

Epstein did, and I am 100% on board with

271

: 00:12:21

anyone that maliciously hurt any children

sexually on that island should absolutely

272

: 00:12:27

be thrown in jail regardless of.

273

: 00:12:29

Where they are in the government, if

they are in the government, or how

274

: 00:12:31

much money they have contributed to

the government, them in jail instantly.

275

: 00:12:38

So yeah, man.

276

: 00:12:40

I make very excited to see how

a few things this week shape up.

277

: 00:12:43

We already had the truth with

China is extended another 90

278

: 00:12:47

So that should cause some

there in some Chinese stocks.

279

: 00:12:51

But ultimately I believe from

here, my man, it's gonna be really

280

: 00:12:55

fun to see how everything just

kinda shapes out and plans out.

281

: 00:12:57

We are gonna continue with some more.

282

: 00:13:01

After we edit this, we're gonna do

some more discussions on immigration

283

: 00:13:04

and immigration policy and have

some more conversations there.

284

: 00:13:08

then we're gonna continue to

build out the future episodes,

285

: 00:13:12

myself and Dave, or be here.

286

: 00:13:13

We're gonna continue to

solve America's problems.

287

: 00:13:16

We're gonna continue having incredible,

lengthy, beautiful discussions with

288

: 00:13:20

each and every one of you, reading your

comments, sharing your thoughts bringing

289

: 00:13:24

you on the podcast, and really diving into

some of the most egregious problems so

290
