00:00All right, time for Money Power Politics. Again, you're getting a double tonight. You know,
00:03we are always asking on this program, is the White House for sale? Well, let's take a look.
00:08It is Crypto Week on Capitol Hill. And even if you're not a crypto investor,
00:12this should matter to you. Because Donald Trump and the crypto industry might not actually get
00:17everything they want. Huge surprise given how much money he's made in the space.
00:22Well, Senate Democrats could actually help defeat some of the bills specifically because
00:26they're concerned about Trump's family crypto empire growing while he's in the White House.
00:31Well, today it was actually a group of House Republicans who joined with Democrats to stop
00:37any of the crypto legislation from making it to the floor. The president said he met with most of
00:42those Republicans this evening and got their support. Speaker Johnson is set to try the vote
00:47again tomorrow. Now we need to talk about Binance. That is the world's largest crypto exchange.
00:53Its founder and owner is a man who goes by the name CZ. He is now one of the richest people in the
00:59entire world. Well, this guy pleaded guilty to charges of enabling money laundering back in 2023.
01:06Well, in May, CZ announced that he had applied for a pardon from President Trump. But Bloomberg News
01:12has new reporting that shows CZ's company, Binance, helped the Trump family create its own crypto coin for
01:20the World Liberty Financial and took part in its largest transaction. All before CZ asked for that
01:26very pardon. Joining me now, one of the reporters on that very important story, Zeke Fox, investigative
01:31reporter for Bloomberg Businessweek and a crypto super expert. Walk us through this new reporting
01:37because it's pretty stunning, especially given that crypto could end up being how the Trump family
01:43has made the majority of their money over the history of their family's fortune.
01:47Yeah, it's pretty wild. During the campaign, Trump started this crypto side hustle, World Liberty
01:54Financial, and he raised $550 million for this company. The way that it was structured, that resulted
02:03in $400 million in fees, real money going to the Trump family. But they had this problem. In kind of
02:11typical Trump fashion, their business partners on this deal were these two kind of longtime internet
02:18hustlers, not well known in the industry. And their only experience in crypto was this kind of small
02:23venture that had gotten hacked. So now the Trumps were backing this new crypto venture, but they didn't
02:29really have a product or anybody who could make one. They needed a daddy. They needed a crypto daddy.
02:34So here comes CZ, the biggest guy in crypto, billionaire. He was released from a halfway
02:42house last year after pleading guilty to these money laundering charges, which were very serious.
02:49Binance paid a $4 billion fine. Let's back this up. The guy was released from a halfway house,
02:55paid a $4 billion fine. He still goes on to be the one of the richest men in the world and now
03:00essentially a business partner to the Trump family. Right. So none of this was disclosed,
03:05but behind the scenes, CZ and Binance provided engineering help that helped World Liberty create
03:12its first product, a stable coin called USD1. So that bill that Trump was pushing, that he's hoping is
03:21going to get through this week, that's going to help this product that World Liberty developed
03:26with help from Binance. Extraordinary. All right. Let's talk about the crypto bills on the Hill this
03:32week. What do you make of them and what's actually going to get passed? I mean, I definitely was not
03:37predicting the hardline Republicans would be the ones standing in the way. Yeah, it seems like
03:41this is kind of like a House-Senate squabble that they're going to get worked out. The odds are good
03:48that they'll pass this Genius Act, which would effectively legalize the way that stable coins are used now.
03:56These are cryptocurrencies that are backed one-to-one with U.S. dollars. There's a lot of concern that
04:05these are being used for money laundering. They're quite popular with criminals. You keep seeing them
04:12pop up in all kinds of cases with like Russians evading sanctions or drug traffickers. Because they
04:19can be moved quite easily around the world from one anonymous wallet to another, this bill would do
04:24nothing to change that. Okay. So this bill does nothing to address money laundering whatsoever.
04:29They're saying that some new requirements will be put into place. They haven't been specified. But
04:36at the core of crypto is that you can hold your crypto in an anonymous wallet. Uh-huh. This,
04:43anything that would change that is getting heading into the central bank digital currency category,
04:49which is what the hardline Republicans are really opposed to. Okay. This was stunning to me. I
04:54mentioned him earlier on the show, but listen, Jamie Dimon says that JP Morgan is now going to get
04:59involved in stable coins, even though he doesn't get the appeal. Okay. The fact that the CEO of the
05:06company is publicly saying, yep, we're going to get really involved in stable coins, but I don't get it.
05:11To me, that's Jamie Dimon saying, I don't know. This seems like a bunch of BS, could be criminal,
05:17not sure. But if you can't beat them, join them. If there's money to be made, we better have some
05:21chips on the table. Yeah. I mean, I can tell you what one appeal is for him. JP Morgan has something
05:27like 20,000 employees in compliance. Tether, the world's biggest stable coin. Howard Lutnik's favorite.
05:36Yes. The commerce secretary has a stake in it. They only employ 150 people total. So if stable coins
05:46are governed by these new rules that are much looser than what apply to banks, banks could get into the
05:53stable coin business and boost their profits, employ fewer people checking everything. So it could be
06:00good for diamond too. My goodness. Before we go, Politico is reporting that the crypto industry
06:07is building a war chest when it comes to next year's midterms. It already stands at more than
06:13$140 million. How influential is crypto becoming in politics? Last cycle, crypto was the number one
06:22spender of any industry, like more than oil and gas, which is nuts because it's still a pretty
06:27niche issue. But that makes it great for that actually sort of increases their power. Because
06:34if you're a Democrat, the choice is being made clear to you. And I love this, this political story
06:40because they made it clear it came from this lobbying group. It's like, if you forgot about us,
06:44just so you know, we still got $140 million. Last time around, they spent $40 million to defeat
06:52Sherrod Brown and get a more pro crypto senator in there. It worked. Yeah. I mean, they're saying,
06:59be afraid of us. We might support these bills or we might be, you know, supporting your opponent next
07:05time around. Sam Bankman Freed is sitting in a jail cell somewhere, just shaking his head,
07:10like timing, timing, timing.
07:22He's saying, I think it's a little bit complicated. Last time around, I'm not going to have to
07:28build up the money so she can't do it. That's not going to be a part of you. So we're
07:30waiting for you, you know.
07:31We're waiting for you to be the money here for your company. If you're waiting for you to
07:33monitor your company, that's not going to be the money. So we're waiting for you to
07:35take some time to adjust your money. So when I think that we're doing this is something
07:37that we're asked to do for you to take a little bit of money. So we can add the money.
07:40You want to buy it. We're waiting for you to do COVID-19 boom now. We're waiting for you,
07:42and we're waiting for you to do the money to get a deal of money. So we know it that we're not going to be
