usual from the MSM information sewer!

 

Number Two— It appears the Supreme Court is poised to give President Trump more power over who he can fire from so called independent agencies—and that is a good thing—let the man govern with his own team—

 

Number Three— The Democrats have no moral high ground to stand on – as they so often claim to have – for many reasons – but one of the biggest, based on recent revelations – is that there is an alarming pattern of fraud among Democrats—an entire party built on fraud—

Keonne Rodriguez | Samourai Wallet Case Explained: Privacy, Law & Innovation Threats

Keonne Rodriguez, co-developer of the Samourai Wallet, joins The Steve Gruber Show to discuss the controversial DOJ case that has rocked the cryptocurrency world. Arrested in April 2024 and forced to plead guilty under a contentious plea deal, Rodriguez argues that the prosecution represents unprecedented overreach, threatening financial privacy, innovation, free speech, and the future of U.S.-based crypto development. The Samourai Wallet was a non-custodial Bitcoin privacy tool, designed to protect users’ transactions without ever controlling their funds or private keys. Yet the DOJ labeled it a “money transmitting business,” despite FinCEN guidance stating otherwise. Critics, including Rodriguez, lawmakers, and industry experts, warn that this case criminalizes code as speech and sets a chilling precedent for all developers.

Rodriguez explains the legal flaws, selective persecution, and privacy implications of the case, highlighting the broader threat to Bitcoin self-custody and U.S. innovation. He also calls for presidential pardons, legislative protections, and stronger oversight to prevent similar government overreach in the future.

David Dodd, CEO of GeoVax, joins The Steve Gruber Show for a critical discussion about America’s resurging battle with measles, and why the country now stands on the verge of losing its decades-old “measles-free” status. Dodd explains how 2025’s outbreaks, especially those spreading through unvaccinated and undervaccinated communities, are undermining past decades of public-health progress. He argues that declining vaccination rates, vaccine hesitancy, and disrupted routine immunizations during the COVID-19 era have combined to let measles make a forceful comeback. Dodd calls for renewed attention to immunization, public-health infrastructure, and vaccine innovation, warning that without decisive action, we could see further outbreaks, rising hospitalizations, and a full rollback of the gains once thought secure.
