Crypto Bribes & Classified Leaks: Exposing Trump’s Profit Machine (w/ Sen. Murphy)

Tristan sits down with Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) to talk about the administration’s brazen corruption. Murphy reveals how his “Meme Act” legislation targets Trump’s cryptocurrency schemes, with CEOs now openly admitting they’re buying Trump coins to secure favorable tariff treatment.The conversation tackles “Signalgate”-where classified information flows through commercial apps-and exposes how unqualified Trump appointees conduct rogue diplomacy, including Kremlin negotiations without staff or translators. Murphy details how foreign governments have created a corruption playbook: bypass traditional channels and “shove cash into Trump’s pockets” through his billionaire enablers.Most chilling is Murphy’s warning about democracy’s quiet erosion: no tanks in the streets, just the steady dismantling of accountability while institutions stand paralyzed.  Hosted on Acast.
