Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to facebaub America. I'm bailable for Rockland. Donald Trump
says he has no idea who Binance co founder Chang
Peng Xiao is, despite pardoning the cryptocurrency tycoon last month,
and despite Choo's companies sharing business ties with ventures run
from Trump Tower. Asked on CBS's Sixty Minutes why he

(00:27):
pardoned Joao, who pleaded guilty in twenty twenty three to
enabling money laundering and served four months in prison, Trump
brushed off the connection. Okay, are you ready? I don't
know who he is, he told host Nora O'Donnell, adding
that he had simply heard Xiao with the victim of
a witch hunt under former President Joe Biden. The remark

(00:50):
came even as companies link to Jao partnered with firms
tied to Trump's family, including Dominari Holdings, a digital currency
venture where Trump's sons sit on the advisory board and
which operates out of Trump Tower. The pardon lifts restrictions
that had barred Jao from earning financial enterprises, although it's

(01:12):
unclear if the move affects his regulatory status or his
standing at Binance. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt defended
the pardon as a correction of Biden era overreach in
what she called a war on cryptocurrency. Critics meanwhile noted
that Trump has now extended clemency to several high profile

(01:33):
figures in crypto, including the founders of bitmax and Silk
Road creator Ross Ulbricht, a record that could make Donald
Trump our first crypto keeper president. Back in a moment
with more face, Palm America Representative Marjorie Taylor Green is

(01:54):
back in the headlines after suggesting that demons or perhaps
fallen angel could actually be alien's visiting Earth. Appearing on
HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, the Georgia Republican told
the host she was a Bible believing Christian and saw
no contradiction in linking extraterrestrials to theology. When Maher asked

(02:16):
whether she believed the devil and demons were real, Green
didn't hesitate absolutely, she said, adding that they might be
supernatural beings that fell from heaven. The exchange also revived
Green's earlier controversies, including her twenty eighteen social media post
about California wildfires supposedly sparked by a space laser tied

(02:42):
to the Rothschild banking family, a trope rooted in anti
Semitic conspiracy theories. Green told Maher she hadn't realized the
Rothschilds were Jewish, claiming she didn't know much of any
of this stuff before entering politics, or much of anything
after entering politics, or much of anything at all outside

(03:03):
of theology and UFOs. Green used the appearance to criticize
Obama and the Washington gridlock, she says allows lobbyists to
write the bills. The congresswoman later shared a clip from
the show on x highlighting her objections to taxpayer funded
insurance for illegal aliens, apparently a different kind of alien altogether.
