Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

Who were you on the phone to this morning? A lot of people have been calling me. I actually can't even keep track of all the numbers. And so today I just got asked to go talk in front of Congress just a moment ago. So people are just calling me saying, hey, we want some information.

Can you tell us about this? We're just trying to gather information. And for instance, today someone just called me and said, hey, we have a a meeting we'd like you to testify in front of Congress January 21st. So I'll see if I'll do that. Right.

So it's starting to hit the bigger levels of sort of real law, real government now. Yeah, I mean, within just one day of me posting my video, well, it got over 100 million views in 72 hours, but within the first day alone, you had Elon Musk retweet it, you had JD Vance retweet it, you had quite literally every major politician retweet it. The next morning, Cash Patel puts out a post on X about it and then that same day Attorney General Pam Bondy also puts out a post uh mentioning my name in that video. Same day Mike Johnson as well.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
