BigXthaPlug’s 'I Hope You’re Happy' dropped Friday — but hours later, he was arrested in Dallas on drug and weapons charges. Continue reading…

Crypto absolutely exploded higher today, with Bitcoin launching from under $112,000 to over $117,000 in a couple hours… XRP shot up from under $2.80 to about $3.10 as I type this. And I think all of that is just the beginning. The timing couldn’t be more perfect because I did a big market breakdown with Jim Bazzani recently on my show and we talked about all of this and a lot more. I also revealed for the first time ever where I’m looking to sell my first batches of XRP. I don’t think I’ve ever posted that information before but I have a plan and I’m going to execute on that plan! I hope you really enjoy this one, this is totally loaded with value. Watch here: Or watch here on Rumble if you prefer: And if you’re not in crypto yet or want to get to a SAFE crypto broker with institutional-grade custody, insurance and your own personal broker you can call or email any time you want, read this: STOP! If You’ve Never Bought Crypto Ever Before, READ THIS Now! Noah here with a special announcement for anyone who has NEVER bought crypto before. I'm guessing there's a reason you haven't and I'm guessing I have the SOLUTION to that reason. Sound good? Let's see if I'm right. First let me set the stage... I've been buying crypto personally since 2017 and I really started talking about it a lot here in 2020 when I had Bo Polny as a guest on my show for the very first time. Hard to believe that was FIVE YEARS AGO now, but it was. Time flies. Anyway, in those five years, I know a lot of you have signed up for Bo's report and/or just started buying some crypto on your own.  And that's awesome! I went back and looked, and when Bo first came on my show back in 2020, Bitcoin was about $3,000 -- and now it's just under $100,000. So to anyone who watched those early shows and bought some, a huge congratulations to you!  And I know many of you did because you've told me your stories! Of course I can't ever give personalized financial advice, but what I can do is have on guests like Bo and bring awareness to things like this, so that's what I do. Why do I tell you all of this? Because while many of you jumped in and started buying crypto alongside me these past five years, an equal or greater number have told me different stories.... You'd told me you can see Bitcoin, XRP and crypto is the future, or at least some portion of the future.  You get it.  And you want to get on board, but it's just TOO CONFUSING! Too many risks. Too many chances of doing something wrong, sending your money to the wrong place, sending your crypto to the wrong place, or worse...getting scammed. You don't trust things like the Ledger Nano S, a device that looks like a keychain and you're just supposed to load all your crypto on there and stuff it away in a vault or safe somewhere and hope all your crypto is still there in 10 years...let alone hoping it will POWER ON in 10 years!  I never liked that either. Or trusting that the crypto exchange holding your assets is safe and won't go under like FTX, or Celsius or Mt. Gox or any number of other ones. Or getting your account hacked or having a problem, and there is NO ONE you can talk to.  Non-existence customer support.  No brokers you can talk to.  No support you can talk to.  You're just on your own. That's the story I've heard from so many of you and that's why I'm so excited to bring you this announcement. I now have the solution for you. Introducing Caleb & Brown, my new partners and I am so excited to tell you why I think this is going to solve ALL of the problems above. I've already heard from some of you after the livestream I just did saying "Thank you so much, this is what we've been waiting for!" I know it is, and that's why I'm so excited to tell you about it. Caleb & Brown have been around since 2016, which is a lifetime in crypto. There are not many companies that have been around that long in crypto, and definitely not many with as stellar of a reputation. I've known about them for years, but I've waited to tell you about them until they had proven the test of time, and trust me they have. They've got a perfect 5.0 rating on Google: And a near-perfect 4.9 rating on Trustpilot: But here's what I really love and I think what you will love too.... When you sign up with them, you get assigned a PERSONAL broker, that is your very own broker. A real person that you can call 24/7, 365 days a year. Of course, they have to sleep like all of us, so if they're not available when you call or email, there's always a backup on call to take the call. I don't know about you, but I grew up having a stockbroker I could call to buy or sell stocks. It was so nice! I was never any big swinger, but I bought and sold some stocks here and there, and I always knew I would be taken care of because my account was handled by my personal broker! I always had someone I could call or email, and if anything went wrong, they stood behind it 100%. We've never had this in crypto before, but we do now! That's huge to me, and I'm guessing based on everything you all have told me each time I have Bo on, this is the missing piece for many of you. Forget about trying to "learn crypto" and "do it yourself". You don't need to do any of that. Now you have a personal broker you can call or email anytime. Of course you can also log in and trade yourself live on their website, both options are available to you. So that's big thing #1, an absolute game-changer. But all of that doesn't mean anything if it's not 100% safe and secure, and that's big thing #2... Every account is backed 1-for-1, stored in cold storage with multiple layers of security, it's then secured by a company called Fireblocks and insurance sits on top of all of that. They've never been hacked. Never lost a dime of customer funds or crypto. Never had any issues. Almost NO ONE in the space can say that, but that's why I've been watching them closely of the past few years and watching to see if they pass the test of time, and they have passed with flying colors. Safety and security is so important to me, I created a custom link called SafeWithNoah.com which will take you directly to my custom page on Caleb & Brown so you know you're in the right spot. Link is here:  https://SafeWithNoah.com And when the page loads it will look like this and you'll see my name and logo at the top. That's how you know you're in the right spot. I'll be talking a lot more about this in the days and weeks to come, but for right now I wanted to give you first dibs to get over there and sign up. I know this is the lifeline many of you have been waiting for. Here's what I would encourage you to do... Go over to that page and create an account, it's 100% free to create an account. Two reasons why... First, it's free and it gets your foot in the door.   Caleb & Brown has over 35,000 customers in over 100 countries across the world, and they're growing very fast.  While I don't have any inside information to expect they might close or slow down registrations or put people on a wait list, I've seen that happen with fast-growing companies before, especially in crypto. Think about it, if everyone gets assigned a personal broker, there is eventually some limit where they need to slow down new accounts to make sure service levels remain high. So creating an account gets your foot in the door and it's free. You don't even have to fund the account right now, you can just create it. Second, that leads into the second big thing which is having your first call with your personal broker. Once you have an account, the broker that gets assigned to you is going to reach out and want to chat with you, get to know you. They'll want to learn how familiar you are with crypto and how they can help you in your journey. It's a long-term partnership and they want to kick it off on the right foot. They customize EVERYTHING to meet you where you are in your crypto journey. So create the account and have this first call. In fact, you can have as many calls and emails as you want with your broker as you go forward. They'll answer your questions, show you market research, tell you what they think and what they see, and help you get comfortable moving forward with crypto. I think you're really going to be impressed and blown away by the level of service they provide, even if they see you don't have a single dollar in your account, they don't care.  Service comes first. I am so confident in that that I'm asking everyone to create and account, have your first call or calls with your broker and then email me at noah (at) dailynoah (dot) com and tell me how it went! I think you're going to be very pleasantly surprised and I want to hear about it. So create the account, get your foot in the door, have your first call or calls, and then email me with the results! Sound good? My custom FREE signup link is here:  https://SafeWithNoah.com And now for people who prefer video, please enjoy this livestream I did from earlier today where we go into more detail. Here are two comments that just came in from people who already have an account and they say this about the service: Yes indeed, thank you both for sharing your experience! That has certainly been my experience as well. Want in? CREATE YOUR FREE ACCOUNT HERE (My Safe Signup Link) Now here's the video, please enjoy: Backup video here with captions added if you prefer. Here you go: pic.twitter.com/QngWzcUWH5 — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) May 2, 2025 And for those who prefer a FULL TRANSCRIPT, I've got you covered there too. Here you go: Noah Christopher: Live from America's heartland, this is the Daily Truth Report with your host, Noah Christopher. Hey, what's up everybody? Hey, this is Noah and this is pretty unique. I don't usually go live when it's just me. I usually have a fun guest with me that I get to chat with. But today, right now, it's just me because I have a special announcement for you, which I'm going to get into in just a minute. And I think you're really going to like this. But let me know. Since I don't have a guest here, it kind of feels like I'm talking to myself. So let me know if you can hear me okay, if I'm coming through. We are live on YouTube. We're live on Rumble. And we're live on Twitter/X. So I see a lot of people connected. But shoot me a comment wherever you're watching. Let me know if you can see this okay and hear this okay. And then we'll jump right in. And you know what? This is kind of fun. I'm usually so busy writing articles all day long that I'm just behind the keyboard and I don't get out here and interact with everybody. So who knows? Maybe we'll do this more often and we'll just kind of turn it into a livestream and maybe more of an open chat and ask-me-anything kind of a thing. And we can just tackle whatever’s on people’s minds. Yeah. All right, let me check the comments here. Oh, there we go. Okay. Hello from Elaine! Awesome. And M.A. says thumbs up. Okay, so it looks like we're connected on YouTube and Twitter. And Rumble comments are separate, so that one looks good too. Okay, well let me tell you what I've got for you today because I think you're really going to like this. I've got a brand new announcement that you're probably going to want to check out. It's something I've just switched over to, and I think you're going to love it. If you've been with me any period of time, you know I have Bo Polny on the show a lot and we talk a lot about gold, silver, crypto — you know, that's Bitcoin, XRP, Ethereum, stuff like that. And I always get a lot of comments. First of all, everybody loves Bo — and that's awesome. But I get a lot of people who are very familiar with crypto. Maybe they’re like me — they’ve been buying and selling it since... well, since I’ve been doing it. But it is really complicated and complex — and scary sometimes — trying to make sure you don’t do it wrong. Make sure you don’t fall for scams. Make sure you don’t send your money or send your crypto to the wrong place. So one of the most frequent comments I get from people is: “Hey, thanks for having Bo on. I know crypto is the future in some way...” And I can’t give anyone financial advice, but I just kind of tell you what I’m doing and what’s interesting to me. And I have people on like Bo that tell you what he sees. But I hear from so many people that say: “You know, I get it. I know I need to start buying some crypto. I need to diversify a little bit — you know, even 1% or 5%. I know that probably makes sense. I can clearly see it's the future. It's coming.” Part of that future is here now, and part of that future is still coming. It's starting to go into Wall Street and ETFs and stuff like that. But: “I've never bought a single anything in crypto. I've never bought any Bitcoin. I've never bought any XRP. I'd like to, but I just don't know where to start. And I'm too intimidated by it to do anything.” And for the longest time, I haven't had a real good solution for that. I can offer training and courses — and actually Bo has a great training course that I know a lot of you have gotten and really love it because I hear from you after that. But I know that even with that, I hear from people saying: “You know, I'm 50 years old or 60 years old and... I just... I don't have time to learn something new like this. And still, I don't want to screw it up. I don't want to get on there and all of a sudden everything I worked so hard for... I send it to the wrong person or wrong address.” Technology is confusing enough to me. I've got email and internet down and I read your newsletter every night, but that's about it. I don’t want to go learn how to do crypto. I don't want to have to buy a Ledger Nano S that looks like a key chain and somehow believe that all my crypto is on this thing. And then I take that and I throw it in some safe in my house or whatever or a safe deposit box at the bank and just hope that all of this crypto that I bought is somehow on this device. And there's no one to call if it goes wrong. There's no customer support department. I'm just hoping and trusting that everything is going to work. Or I’m hoping and trusting that I’m working with Coinbase or I’m working with Uphold. Those are two platforms that I use. And they’ve been pretty good. But you know — they go down when the market starts going up. Suddenly they go down and it says “Offline, check back later.” And then you’ve got the bad ones like FTX. I’m sure everyone heard of that — Sam Bankman-Fried. That was apparently just an outright fraud. And people that had their money on that just watched it go up in air. Or Mt. Gox before that. All of these horror stories of these exchanges. And then even — you know — even Coinbase, if someone hacks your account... You know, luckily that’s never happened to me, but I’ve heard horror stories of people that... You try and call their customer service department and there’s just no one to speak to. You just get put on hold or you get an email back that says, “We’ll get to you. We have your ticket. We’ll get to you in the future.” And then they just never respond. So all of that to say — I finally have a very exciting announcement. And I want to share my screen here because I’ll show you exactly what this is. You all are getting the first look at this right now. I’ll be talking about this a lot more on the website and in my newsletter and we’ll do a few other shows too. But this is absolute — if you’re on live with me right now — Friday afternoon, May second — this is absolute first look. And — oh, hello to Donna — awesome, thank you. Glad to have you with us. So you're absolutely first look on this. And so you get the first chance to take a look and get in. Let me share my screen and I’m going to tell you about this new company that I have partnered up with. They’re called Caleb and Brown. And if you’re not in the crypto world, you might not know about them. But let me tell you about them, because they’re pretty incredible. I’ve heard about them since probably 2018, but I’ve just been waiting and watching. I always liked what I heard about these guys. But you know — you want to make sure that people stand the test of time. And they don’t have an incident like FTX or Sam Bankman-Fried or Mt. Gox. And these guys have been rock solid. They were actually founded in 2016 and they’ve just never had a single incident. This is the homepage here — kind of a shared page between me and them. And if you want to get to this — actually, I made a custom... let me do this... I made a custom website so it’s easy to remember. Let’s go right here. There we go. It’s called SafeWithNoah.com. Safety is so important. So I just put that in the name — SafeWithNoah.com. And let me tell you all about these guys and why they’re different from anything else out in the market and why I’m switching over to them and trusting them with my crypto assets. Like I said, they’ve been around since 2016. Never had a single issue. Just rock solid team here. They’ve got a near-perfect 4.9 rating on Trustpilot. Hard to find anyone saying a bad thing about these guys. You can read review after review after review of people that have had a wonderful experience. But here’s what really stands out to me: Everything that you do — first of all — you get assigned a personal broker. And this is what really stood out to me. So you know, our whole lives — at least a lot of us, maybe even people that are older than me — we used to be able to call our stockbroker. We’d have a stockbroker. We could call them up. We could say, “Hey, I want you to buy 100 shares of GE for me,” or “Sell 50 shares of Apple,” or whatever it would be. Or you could call them up and talk to them and say, “What do you think about this? What do you think the market’s going to do? What do you think is a smart thing here?” That has not existed in crypto before now. And in fact, if you try to talk to your financial advisor — they’re going to tell you they can’t even talk to you about crypto. And the reason they can’t talk to you about it is because they can’t sell it to you right now. And I’ve been telling you about crypto for the last eight years — and your financial advisor hasn’t — because they haven’t been able to make a fee on it. But these guys — that’s what they do. If you want to just go online, you can do that too. They have a great website. So if you’re more hands-on, like I am — I just like to get in there and do my own stuff — you can do that. But for everybody else — and even I enjoy this — I had a chat with my broker last night. And it was just so nice. Since 2017 I’ve been buying crypto, but I’ve just been doing it on my own. I hope I’m doing the right thing. I think I’m buying the right ones. I’m buying the ones that make sense to me. I have people like Bo on the show and I can talk to Bo a little bit and I read his newsletters and that helps. But I really don’t have anybody else to talk about this stuff with. And so to get on the phone last night and talk with my personal broker — it was just super cool. And so the other thing that means is — you always have someone to call. You’re not going to get put into a “here’s the support desk, fill out an online ticket at Coinbase and we’ll get back to you… maybe… when we feel like it.” If you’ve got a problem, you call these guys and you have your own personal broker who you can talk to. And they are 24/7, 365 days a year. So — not that I recommend this — but even if it’s Christmas Eve and you’ve got to make a trade, you can call them and you’ll get to talk to someone. Even if your broker is asleep at the moment — because the world is 24/7 but humans aren’t yet — they have a backup always on hand to handle all calls. So usually you’ll get your own broker, but if it happens to be an off time or something, you’ll definitely get to talk to someone else as a backup. The other cool thing about these guys is everything is stored — I don’t want to get too technical for you — but everything is stored in what’s called cold storage. So all of your cryptocurrency is in safe vaults, basically, is the way to think about it. You can see on the website here — it’s secured by a company called Fireblocks. They’re very well known in the industry. They do what’s called institutional-grade custody. In fact, I made a banner here about that: Institutional-grade crypto custody. That is very important. I don’t want to get too technical, but let me tell you this: At Coinbase — if you have a Coinbase account — and I use them as an example because they’re probably the largest and most well-known — if something happened to Coinbase and they went out of business, went bankrupt like FTX... Your funds are not necessarily secure. You are what's known as an unsecured creditor of Coinbase. You will get paid last. They will pay everybody else that they have debts to, and then if there’s any money left over, they pay the unsecured creditors. And that would be you — the one holding your crypto there. That’s not what they do at Caleb and Brown. Every account is secured one-for-one. It’s not lent out again. It’s not rehypothecated — if you’ve heard those terms before. Everything is stored in your own personal vault. Safely. Securely. There are like ten different layers of security. I’ll be doing a lot more information on this — this is just kind of the high-level — but we’ll be digging in and showing you all the different layers of security they have. Biometrics. Multiple people have to approve things before anything is released. There’s no ability to get hacked or anything like that. Just institutional-grade custody from this company called Fireblocks. They’ve got insurance on top of that. And then the company Caleb and Brown — they were founded in Australia. And if you don’t know — Australia actually has some of the most strict and stringent financial regulations of any country. Very, very strong regulations. So they are regulated by them, and they’re also regulated in any country they do business in. I believe they are active in 100 different countries right now — which is incredible. So they have to be regulated in all of those countries as well. But first and foremost — they’re regulated in Australia. And so you’re getting very serious regulators watching them. And that’s why there hasn’t been an issue since 2016 — because everything is just done completely safe and secure and to the book. I’m really excited to tell you about this. Until now, every time I do a show with Bo and then people call me up and say, “How do I do this safely?” “Isn’t there someone that can kind of do it for me?” “I miss my stockbroker.” “I don’t like this new normal of this new world.” “I don’t want to do everything online.” “I don’t want to have to go learn how to do cryptocurrency. I just want to call somebody.” I finally have that for you. It’s Caleb and Brown. But you want to make sure you get to this page here where you see my name at the top — then you’ll know you’re on the right one. And I’m really proud to be partnered up with these guys. As I always say, there’s not a single product or service that I ever tell you about or partner up with that I don’t use personally. Or — if it’s something I can’t use personally, like it’s a women’s product or something — I’ve researched it and I’m convinced it will help a lot of people. Other than those two things — if it doesn’t meet that criteria, I don’t tell you about it. And so this is something that I’m really proud to stand behind. Institutional-grade custody. Security. Insurance. A broker that you can call any time of day. You can email the broker too. If you’re more of an email person, you can just send them your questions or send them an email and say, “Hey, buy $500 of XRP for me.” And they’ll go into your account and place the order for you. It’s just like the way it used to be — when you’d call your stockbroker. I don’t want to have to learn how to go into a website and figure out if I’m placing my order right. Am I going to accidentally buy $5,000 when I only wanted to buy $500? Am I going to make some sort of goof up? Am I going to buy the wrong stock or the wrong options or the wrong date or whatever? None of that. None of that to worry about. So much to tell you about this. I’m just kind of giving you the sneak peek here. We’ll do a lot more of this to come. I will say right now — there are no limitations at all. I think they have over 35,000 customers worldwide right now in 100 different countries. So as I said, they are very big. They’re proven. They’re established. And I don’t have any inside information on this — it’s not like they told me this — but I just know, using my common sense, that... If everybody gets assigned a personal broker — and that personal broker has to be online to take your calls and emails at all times of the day — At some point, I don’t know if they won’t shut down new accounts or put them on pause or put them on a waitlist. So that’s why I’m going live with this right now. You can’t buy cryptocurrency from your broker in the United States. Schwab, E-Trade — they won’t sell it to you. These guys — this is all they’ve been doing. They’re very good at it. So what I would encourage everybody to do, if you’re hearing my voice right now — It’s totally free to set up an account. You don’t have to fund the account right away. But I would get your foot in the door. I would get an account set up. It’s totally free. It took me about five minutes. It’s really pretty easy. Just get an account set up. The link is at the top of the screen — SafeWithNoah.com. I chose that name intentionally, because to me, there’s nothing more important than safety when you’re talking about crypto. I don’t want to buy something and have to worry that it’s going to go into bankruptcy — or it’s going to get hacked or lost or stolen — or Sam Bankman-Fried is going to end up being a total fraud and steal all my money. So SafeWithNoah is really the key to me. That’s what I would encourage you — There’s a button here — this big red button at the top — Sign up today. Or they’ve got another one down here — Sign up. I would encourage you — just sign up. It’s totally free. Get your account created. And then — and then you’re ready. It feels to me — I can’t give you financial advice — but man, it feels to me like this market’s about ready to blast off. We’re just sitting under $100,000 in Bitcoin. And boy, I think we’re going to hit $200,000 quicker than anybody realizes. So take the first step. Get an account set up. And then just dip your toe in. You know, what I’ve done since 2017 is — I set weekly purchases of the coins that I wanted to buy. Not big amounts — you know — $50 here, $75 there, $100 here. And I just set it on a weekly purchase or sometimes a monthly purchase. And I try to forget about it. Some of those accounts, I didn’t log into for a long time. I just thought, “I know the direction this is going. I’m just going to buy a little bit over time and I’m going to do it consistently.” So that’s what I would encourage you to do. I know I’m talking to a lot of people that fit into the category of — you’ve heard me talking to Bo for the last... You know, Bo and I figured out — we’ve been talking for five years now. He’s been coming on my show for five years. And — hello to Donna, hello to Ron — Bo’s been coming on my show for five years talking about crypto. We mapped it out. And I think when he first started coming on, Bitcoin was at $3,000. And he was telling everybody, “You might want to get some.” Now it’s almost at $100,000. But I think that same scenario... A lot of people think Bitcoin’s going to a million or more. I can’t tell you if it is or not, but I think it’s some very exciting times ahead. And there’s a lot that I like more than Bitcoin too. Anybody that knows me knows XRP is my favorite coin. And again — I’m just telling you my stuff — But I can’t tell you what to do other than I would encourage you — Just open an account. Get your account opened up. Then you’ve got your foot in the door. You’ve got a placeholder. When you get your account created, you will have — if you want it — your personalized broker will reach out to you. They’ll give you a call or an email and they’ll say, “Hey, let’s get on the phone and chat — for five minutes or 30 minutes — whatever works for you.” Just tell me about your situation. They want to understand where you’re coming from. Are you like me? You’ve been buying crypto since 2017 and you’re pretty much ready to go? Or are you totally new to this and you’d like some help? And not only help on the technical side, but just help on talking through it. “What is this stuff?” “How does it work?” “Why should I get it?” “Where do you think the market’s going?” They’ll share their market research with you. It’s almost like getting a market research firm for free along the way. And that’s even if you set up your account and don’t even fund it yet. I had my first call with my broker before I’d even transferred money in. He just wanted to get together and he said, “Let’s just get together and talk. Tell me about you. Tell me about your crypto story. Tell me what questions you have for me.” And we had an awesome 45-minute chat. So anyway, that’s what I would encourage you to do. The link — I will try to put it below this video — but it’s also up at the top of the screen: SafeWithNoah.com Because that is what’s most important to me. And I would not want to... that’s why I’ve waited so long. I’ve known about these guys since probably 2018, and I just wanted to make sure that everything was good. I wanted to have some time pass, make sure that they stood the test of time — proved the test of time. And boy, they really have. And now they have over 35,000 customers. Just hitting it out of the park. Active in 100 different countries. Another thing is — there’s no deposit or withdrawal limits. And you might think, “Well of course not.” But that’s actually not the way it is in a lot of companies. If you open up a Coinbase account, they’ll tell you that you have a certain limit. There’s only a limit that you can buy every day. There’s only a limit of money that you can put into your account every day. And those limits are, quite frankly, pretty small. So it’s called throttling. You will get throttled at a lot of these big companies. Even Uphold — which I love those guys too — they’ve been great over the years... But even they will tell you, “Oh, I’m sorry, you can only buy $500 worth of crypto today. Check back tomorrow.” And that’s on the buy side. Then on the sell side, or the withdrawal side, a lot of them will say, “Well, you can’t withdraw more than $1,000 a day or $5,000 a day.” And so, for the people that have been doing this — and you know, you were early to the game — or even right now, you’re still early, I believe... Let’s say you buy XRP, like I am, at $2 right now. And it ends up going to $10, like many people think it will. That’s life-changing. But if you do it on someplace like Coinbase, they might say, “Well, congratulations, you now have a lot of XRP, and it’s gone up in value. But if you want to get that back into your bank account, we’ll do $1,000 a day, and we’ll just hold on to it for you in the meantime.” That doesn’t really work for me. I don’t like that. So that’s another really big deal to me — no limits on incoming or withdrawals, deposits or withdrawals. You can add or subtract as much money or crypto as you want. And there are no fees when you do it. That’s another thing that I’ve learned over the years. And until now, there hasn’t really been a great alternative for me. I mean, until I switched over here to Caleb and Brown — If I wanted to sell crypto and then move it from Coinbase back into my bank account, number one — I had to be worried that Joe Biden would shut my bank account down, because they did that for a long time. But even if we got past that step, then I only had a limit. “Well, you can do $1,000 a day.” Congratulations! You were right! You made a great investment, it went up, you made 5x your money, 10x your money — good job on you! And now, we’re just going to hold this for the next seven months and you can withdraw $1,000 a day. Well, I don’t like that very much. So that’s — I mean, there’s so much to talk about here. I’m not going to make this too long. You’re getting the look here. So if you’re on with me — congratulations. What I would recommend is jot this down — even if you don’t have time to do it today — jot it down. Or one thing I love doing is I email things to myself. So like if I know I want to set up this account, but I just — you know — I’m driving right now or I’m busy or I’m listening to this while I’m working out or whatever, or I’m listening to this at work — maybe because you’re bored at work — just email yourself the link: SafeWithNoah.com And do it when you get home — later today or tomorrow or whenever. But I would definitely encourage you — just get the account set up and have that first call with your broker. I think you’re going to be very impressed with that. I know I was. Plus — a lot of these guys — not all of them, but a lot of them — live in Australia. So you get that cool Aussie accent. It was fun chatting with my guy last night. I mean, he could have been Crocodile Dundee’s son or something. Just that classic Aussie accent. But that is so much fun. These guys — they are the real deal. And that’s kind of my point. They’re the real deal. They’ve proven it for almost a decade now, which is a lifetime in crypto. There are not a lot of companies in crypto that have been around since 2016. There have been a lot that have gone bankrupt. Or there have been a lot that just didn’t start until 2022, 2023, 2024. To have been around since 2016 — and to not only have survived, but to absolutely be thriving — is pretty incredible. So this is what the website looks like. I’ll do a lot more stuff on this in the future. I’ll give you a lot more details. But I just — I had to get this out because I can’t reply one-on-one to all the people that have emailed me over the years saying, “Thanks for all the information with Bo. I love watching these shows. But they also make me kind of nervous because I know I need to be buying a little bit of crypto — at least. I want to be buying a lot of crypto...” “That’s what a lot of people have told me — but I’m sorry, I’m just not going to go figure it out myself. I’m too worried that I’m going to do it wrong. And then I’ll have nobody to call. And I’ll have no support whatsoever. And then whatever I did — my money’s lost, or scams or hacks or any of this stuff.” “It’s just too intimidating. And I’m not going to do it at my age — even though I want to.” So this is finally your solution. So I’m very happy to be partnered up with these guys. Super, super impressed with everything I’ve seen so far. It’s Caleb and Brown is the company — awesome people. But the website is going to look like this, and it is SafeWithNoah.com. Let me make sure that is up... Oh, Donna says “Thank you!” Thank you, Donna. Appreciate it. That’s always my goal around here — is just to make sure I bring you value. I’ve been doing that for a long time with the news — and that’ll never stop. But when I find stuff like this — especially when you’ve basically been telling me, “Hey Noah, can you find something like this?” — and then I got it, it’s really fun to pass it out to everybody. So that’s why I put this banner at the top of the screen: Institutional grade crypto custody. That’s so important. It’s not just you getting some weird keychain and putting your crypto on it and putting it in your basement and hoping it works in ten years. That’s not how I roll. I’m not going to do that. And I’m not excited about just leaving all my crypto on someplace like Coinbase or Uphold — where even though I do like Uphold a lot, I don’t like those limits. And you don’t get anyone you can talk to over there. I have a lot of good things to say about Uphold. They stood by XRP and Ripple during the lawsuit — that Ripple won, by the way — completely vindicated. And Uphold did not delist them. They stood by them. So a lot of great things to say about them. But you don’t get assigned a personal broker over there. And I don’t even know — if you have a problem — what the help desk situation is. I’ve never had to use it. But I don’t know how quickly you can get help. It’s just definitely not the level of service. You know, I think a lot of people are like me. I just — I want to have someone. And maybe I might not call for many months. Many months might go by, and I might not feel a need to talk to my broker. But I want to know — if there’s a problem, or if the market starts to just go crazy and heat up and I’m thinking, “Oh, is it time to sell? Is it not time to sell? What should I do?” Or if I need help selling, or if something goes wrong, “Hey, I think I made a mistake.” I want to be able to call somebody. And we finally have that opportunity. You get a personal crypto broker assigned to you. You’ll get to know them well. But if they’re not available for some reason — you know, you could call at 3:00 a.m. If you’re a night owl — or I don’t know if anyone’s like me — sometimes I roll over in bed at 3:00 a.m. and kind of squint through the eyes and just see what crypto is doing overnight. And maybe someday, you wake up and XRP is at $5 when you do that. If I want to call somebody at 3:00 a.m., I will get my broker on the phone at 3:00 a.m. Or I’ll get whoever is doing backup for him — because he’s sleeping. He or she — I mean, we’ve got probably both over there. My broker happens to be a guy with that awesome Aussie accent. But you’ll get one of the brokers out there, and you’ll get one of them. So anyway, let me check the comments. If anyone has any comments here... Oh, hello to Tam from Arkansas. Hello to Carrie from Missouri. Hello to Maggie — I think it says in South Carolina. Hello to Doria and Stokes. All right — we’ve got a lot of people over there. If anyone has any questions, you can drop them in the chat now. Like I said, we can kind of turn this into a fun little impromptu chat. Oh, Susan says, “Great.” Yep — thank you, Susan. I agree. I’ve been hoping to have something like this to share with you for a long time. And today is finally the day. So I’m pumped — and I’m glad to hear that you’re pumped too. I think this is going to help a lot of people. And that’s always my goal. So do me a favor too — when you do sign up (because it’s free — I really want to encourage you to do that), Get signed up. Get your foot in the door. Get an account created. It only takes five minutes. And then have that first phone call with your broker. And just see what you think. See if everything I’m telling you is correct. Prove it to yourself. Go ahead and have that first call. And then — when you do that — shoot me an email and just tell me what your experience was like. Let me put my — I think everybody knows it — but you can reach me at Noah. I’m going to put that on the screen. There we go. There we go — Noah@DailyNoah.com That goes right to me. I see all of those. I don’t always have time to respond — because I often get up to a thousand emails a day — but I do read every single email. And I’ll respond if I can. But shoot me a reply and let me know what you think. And yes — Donna says screenshot this. That’s a great idea. Take a screenshot of the screen right now. You’ll get my email right there at the bottom left — Noah@DailyNoah.com — and you’ll get the website here that I’ve created that’ll take you right to my personal page on Caleb and Brown, to make sure you’re in the right place. It’s called SafeWithNoah.com — S-A-F-E With Noah dot com. SafeWithNoah.com — that’s a great idea, Donna. Go ahead and just take a screenshot right now so you have it. Excuse me. But after you create your account and have your call with your personal broker, shoot me an email there and tell me how it went. Tell me what you thought. Tell me if you had a good experience — I think you will. Or if anything went wrong, you can let me know that too. But I think you’re going to have a great experience. And then let me know if it was pretty much exactly like I am telling you right now. Let’s see here... any other questions? If you have a question, drop it in the chat right now. I’ll try and answer as many as I can. Donna says, “No fees? How do they make money?” That’s a great question. There are no fees on deposits or withdrawals. And you might be surprised to learn that — I think almost every other place just puts a fee on everything. There’s a fee on your trade. There’s a fee on deposits. There’s a fee on withdrawals. There’s maybe a monthly fee. They don’t have any of those fees. Definitely not on deposits or withdrawals. If you end up doing really well — and let’s just say you held on to this for five years or whatever and XRP has gone from $5 to $20 or $2 to $20 — and you’re ready to pull out a million dollars... They will wire you that money, and there’s no fee on that at all. It’s a great point, Donna. They do have fees, obviously, because they are a business, and you have to pay to stay in business. So right here on the screen — they have one fee and that’s it. Nothing else. There are no hidden fees. No hidden... a lot of times what companies will do is make money on the spread. So for instance, if XRP right now is trading at $2.20 and let’s say you wanted to buy it, They might say, “Okay, you want to buy XRP? Well, we’ll sell it to you at $2.30.” And we’re just going to make money on that spread. We’ll get it at $2.20, we’ll sell it to you for $2.30, and we’ll make money on that. And we’ll charge you a fee to do that. That’s how almost all crypto brokerages work. Then if you sell it — let’s say it’s at $5 when you go to sell it — Well, that’s what the market says, but we’ll buy it back from you at $4.75. So we’ll make money on that spread there. We’ll charge you a fee to do it. Then when you want to take that cash back to your bank account, we’ll charge you a fee on the withdrawal too. That’s how it works at a lot of other companies. Only one fee here. It’s completely transparent. No other hidden fees or hidden costs in any part of the process — which is fantastic. I didn’t cover that very well, so thank you for the question there, Donna. Okay — well, hey, let me know if you’re with us. Just shoot me a comment. If you like this, say “Sounds awesome” or “I’ll go check it out” or whatever. Just shoot me a reply here. Let me know if you’re... I know I’m super excited to be here with you. I think I’m going to wrap it up here in just a minute, because I’ve given you what you need. But thank you for joining me. Like I said — stay tuned. Stay tuned to what we’re doing over at WLTReport.com, and then my nightly newsletter, and then here on the channel too. We’ll be talking a lot more about this. I’ll give you more details. I know you might have some more questions. That was a great question from Donna. But stay tuned and I will give you a lot more information in the days and weeks to come. I’m actually going to have someone from the company on with me. We’re going to do a special show next Tuesday. So prepare for that. We’ll have a special rep from their company come join me for a special show on Tuesday. And we’ll talk through a lot more details. You’ll get to hear it directly from them. You’ll get to hear that awesome Aussie accent. And that’ll be really fun. So we’ll do a lot more details as we go. But for right now — grab that link at the top. I’ll put my email one more time — so screenshot this. Here it is: Noah@DailyNoah.com Go to the link: SafeWithNoah.com Create your account. It’s totally free to create the account. There’s no charges or fees of any kind. You don’t even have to fund it right away. You don’t have to transfer money in. You don’t have to transfer crypto in. Just get it created — and then you know that you have one. Because like I said — I don’t know if at some point they might put this into a waitlist if it gets too popular. It’s starting to get really, really popular. You know how you kind of get that snowball in business where it’s a slow build, slow build — from 2016 to 2025 — and then the snowball gets big and starts going downhill and it really accelerates? That’s kind of where I think they are in the process. The snowball is now big and it’s teetering on the edge of that downhill slope. And so I don’t know — to maintain quality — if at some point they’ll put a waitlist on signups. But if it’s free — get signed up and get your foot in the door. Then that gets you not just one phone call, but at least an introductory phone call and email from your personal broker. You can talk with them — and then it’s not like you’re limited to one either. You can talk to them a couple times, two or three times, as you get ready to start making some plans and maybe start buying some stuff. So get your foot in there. Have those conversations. And then email me at Noah@DailyNoah.com — let me know how it went. I’m really excited to read those from you. Because I gotta tell you — Sitting behind the keyboard and putting the news out all day — I love it. But then what really gets me excited is when I get the feedback about people that love our news. “Thank you for putting this out here.” “I trust you guys — you’re my number one source for news.” “Thank you for doing this.” And everything we put out is free — it’s totally free service. It’s kind of my service to you. But what really encourages me and pumps me up is — at the end of the day, when I’m done putting out the news or telling you about something like this — When I get those emails that come in and say, “Noah, this was awesome.” “This was exactly like what you told us it was.” “It’s been tremendous.” That’s happened so many times with a lot of different stuff I’ve told you about over the years. And that’s what really pumps me up — is when I know that people are benefiting from it. They heard about it from me. And it was exactly like I said it was. And in some way, it’s making their life better. So I think this is going to be one of those things — for sure. No doubt about that. And I just hope that you take the ride with us — and take the journey with us. So I’m going to wrap this up. Thank you for being here. I think I’ve answered every single question that has come in. If I missed you — you can email me. And like I said, we’ll be doing another show on Tuesday. And I’ll see you all then. In the meantime — stay tuned over at the website. And there’ll be a lot more information coming out over there. All right, everybody. Thank you for being here. Have a great day. And bye-bye. Bye-bye.

President Trump isn’t playing any games with Fed Governor Lisa Cook. Cook, who has been under fire for the last two weeks for allegedly committing mortgage fraud, may find herself out of a job. While being interviewed at the People’s House Museum, Trump shared that he will be forced to fire Cook if she doesn’t resign soon. CNBC provided a further report on Trump’s comments: President Donald Trump said Friday he will fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook if she does not resign from her position. “What she did was bad,” the president told reporters who asked about Cook, an appointee of former President Joe Biden who has come under fire from the Trump administration over allegations about her mortgages. “So I’ll fire her if she doesn’t resign,” he said during a surprise visit to The People’s House, a museum of the White House. If Trump were to successfully remove Cook “for cause,” he would get the chance to reshape the central bank’s governing board, potentially for years to come. Two of the seven current governors, Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, are Trump appointees. Both dissented from the Fed’s most recent decision to hold interest rates steady. Another seat opened up earlier this summer, when Adriana Kugler announced she would step down. If Trump is able to remove Cook, he would appoint her replacement — effectively ensuring that a majority of the board shares his view of monetary policy. Board members serve 14-year terms. Watch Trump here: BREAKING: President Trump announces he will fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook if she doesn’t resign amid the mortgage fraud probe: “If she doesn’t resign, yes. I’ll fire her.” pic.twitter.com/Er43zEIeVG — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) August 22, 2025 In case you’re unfamiliar with what a Fed governor does, they sit on the board of the Federal Reserve and monitor regulations and monetary policies. The Hill reported more details on the fraud accusations against Cook: FHFA Director William Pulte wrote Wednesday morning on social platform X that Cook had designated two of her houses as her primary residences. “Lisa D. Cook, committed mortgage fraud by designating her out-of-state condo as her primary residence, just two weeks after taking a loan on her Michigan home where she also declared it as her primary residence,” he said. Trump called for Cook to step down shortly thereafter. “Cook must resign, now!!!” he wrote on his own social media website, Truth Social. Pulte said his agency sent a criminal referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding the allegations against Cook. In his series of posts, Pulte included photographs of document signatures apparently belonging to Cook that allegedly applied to two different residences, one in Michigan and another described as an “Atlanta condo.” “I believe the DOJ will open a criminal investigation into her alleged mortgage fraud,” he said. The Hill asked the Justice Department whether it will investigate the claims from Pulte. The Federal Reserve declined to immediately comment on the allegations. Government mortgage credit provider Fannie Mae describes on its website “the limits that apply to the number of financed properties a borrower may have.” In a table on that page for principal residences, the “maximum number of financed properties” is designated as having “no limit. The Trump administration has been engaging in a pressure campaign on the Fed for several months. Trump and Pulte have repeatedly called for the central bank to lower interest rates, which it has not done due to rising inflation. Lower interest rates would make borrowing cheaper and likely spur stock market gains. Trump accused Fed Chair Jerome Powell of fraud earlier this summer over an ongoing renovation project at Fed headquarters in Washington. Following a report in July that Trump had discussed attempting to fire Powell with congressional Republicans, he later said it was “highly unlikely” that he would do so after the stock market dipped on his initial comments, “unless he has to leave for fraud.”

An associate judge within the DC court district — appointed by Joe Biden, of course — has ordered the release of two suspects in the bloody attack against Edward Coristine. Coristine, AKA ‘Big Balls’, was one of the original DOGE team members at the heart of President Trump’s push to gut federal agencies of corruption and waste. The two suspects, both teenagers, were rounded up in the aftermath of that high-profile attack in DC and are facing serious charges in the assault and attempted car-jacking incident. They had both been held in a juvenile detention facility — the Youth Services Center — since their arrest. But the judge’s ruling has apparently been carried out with both suspects having been released sometime today, as is now being reported by the local NBC affiliate: Two teenagers charged in the carjacking in which a former DOGE staffer was assaulted have been released from juvenile custody. https://t.co/S1vCanu9zn — NBC4 Washington (@nbcwashington) August 21, 2025 While the two haven’t technically been set free, the jail-like environment of the youth detention facility is nothing like their new conditions. In fact, Judge Kendra Briggs is actually sending one of the two HOME — to be supervised by his mother. The other has been sent to a ‘youth shelter house’, according to the New York Post: The pair of teenagers charged in an attempted carjacking that left a former DOGE staffer bloodied were released from a youth holding facility and into the custody of their caretakers on a strict curfew. The 15-year-old boy and girl from Maryland were arrested by police after an attempted unarmed carjacking in Washington, DC, that DOGE whiz Edward Coristine, better known as “Big Balls,” tried to stop before he was beaten to a pulp on Aug. 3. The teens were both held at the Youth Services Center until their hearing Thursday, where Judge Kendra Briggs, appointed by President Joe Biden, decided to release them — for now. The girl will be sent to a youth shelter house and the boy will be released into his mother’s care on the caveat that they both adhere to a 24-hour curfew, electronic monitoring and refrain from contacting one another, among other restrictions. They should only be moving between “school and home, that’s it,” Briggs said. If they are involved in any violence after their release, Briggs promised to schedule an emergency hearing to reconsider her decision. The girl, Briggs noted, has “major truancy issues” and was even missing from home for a few months at one point. At the youth shelter, where electronics are banned, she will be drug-tested weekly. The boy will be sent to his home because the shelter house is unreasonably far away from his school, Briggs said, noting that she “didn’t want to put hardship” on his family. Adhering to longstanding tradition among Democrat-appointed judges, Briggs seems extremely concerned about the possible ‘hardship’ that might be endured by these suspects and their families. Correct me if I’m wrong — but isn’t ‘HARDSHIP’ the essence of correcting these sort of criminal tendencies once an individual reaches the point of VIOLENT CRIMES like assault and car-jacking? With the heightened pressure being put on district court judges as a result of President Trump’s aggressive anti-crime and immigration agenda… The question is begging to be asked: is this a politically motivated and/or racially motivated slap against President Trump? The answer to that question is up to interpretation. But for contrast against Judge Briggs’ handling of these violent crime suspects compared to President Trump’s take on how these things should be handled… Check out this clip from the Fox 5 News, the local Fox affiliate out of DC, highlighting President Trump’s earlier comments about what HE thinks should happen in the aftermath of the attack on ‘Big Balls’: The President’s statements also leave very little room to doubt that the attack on Edward Coristine was one of the pivotal events leading to President Trump taking drastic action in DC against crime. He soon after quickly federalized the DC police force, and activated the DC National Guard under his direct command, just as he promised to do if things didn’t change fast. Meanwhile, a Biden-era judge involved in the case is primarily focused on reducing the ‘hardship’ on the two suspects and their families. It’s almost unbelievable, except we’ve seen it happen time and time again. And the Metropolitan Police Department is still scrambling to hunt down the other 8 individuals estimated to have been involved in the attack, as reported by Newsweek: The Metropolitan Police Department said on August 7 that multiple suspects in the incident remained at large. Images released by police show a male looking at the camera with his arms crossed and a face mask covering his chin. The department said it was “seeking the community’s assistance in identifying a person of interest in an attempted unarmed carjacking that occurred in Northwest.” The department said the case is under investigation by MPD’s Carjacking Taskforce, which comprises MPD detectives and agents of the FBI Washington Field Office. Trump said Coristine—now employed by the Social Security Administration—was “beaten mercilessly” during the alleged carjacking attack. “Local ‘youths’ and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released. They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it’s going to happen now!” Trump said. “If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore. Perhaps it should have been done a long time ago,” the president added. (Emphasis added.) Here’s the image released by the Metropolitan PD of one of the key individuals they are still trying to track down as a “person of interest” in the attack: Isn’t it amazing how some suspects can be tracked with almost NO INFORMATION to start with… And some suspects — with multiple clear images of their face available to law enforcement — seem to disappear without a trace? While researching this story, I realized a bit of info about the attack that had never been highlighted before; at least not that I have seen. Check out this excerpt from the MPD’s press release about the suspect in the images above. Apparently, an MPD vehicle on patrol just happened to chance upon the attack as it was happening! Here’s that excerpt from the MPD website with a description of the events: The Metropolitan Police Department is seeking the community’s assistance in identifying a person of interest in an attempted unarmed carjacking that occurred in Northwest. On Sunday, August 3, 2025, at approximately 3:00 a.m., the suspects approached the victims, who were standing next to their vehicle, in the 1400 block of Swann Street, Northwest. The suspects demanded the victim’s vehicle and then assaulted one of the victims. During the assault, an MPD cruiser pulled into the block causing the suspects to flee. Two of the suspects were apprehended by the on-scene officers. One of the victims was treated on scene by DC Fire and EMS for injuries sustained in the assault. (Emphasis added.) If there was ever a case-in-point-argument that completely proves President Trump’s case that an INCREASE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE is needed in DC — that’s it! It is very possible if that police cruiser hadn’t just happened to roll down the road while the attack was ongoing… We might be talking about Edward ‘Big Balls’ Coristine in the past tense! Hopefully, as the current presidential term progresses, we’ll have the chance to report on the morally-compromised judges that keep trying to THWART any progress President Trump makes… IN THE PAST TENSE. Until then, you can expect district court judges to continue to be soft on crime, and soft on the criminals committing those crimes. And particularly those judges of the Democrat persuasion who have the likes of Joe Biden to thank for their position on the court bench.

Another leader at the Pentagon has been dismissed from their duties. A breaking report by the Washington Post has revealed that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. The reason behind Lt. Kruse’s firing has not been revealed, but it comes after he received backlash from the Trump administration over his assessment of the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. The Washington Post broke the story of the firing and provided more details: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has fired Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the latest senior military or intelligence officer to lose his position in a wider purge of national security agencies’ top ranks, according to two people familiar with the matter. The people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, didn’t immediately cite a reason for the dismissal other than “loss of confidence,” a catchall term Hegseth has used to justify the sacking of other senior military officers this year. The firing follows a preliminary assessment from the DIA — the Pentagon’s main intelligence wing — of the military strikes on Iran’s three main nuclear sites in June, which prompted vicious backlash from the Trump administration after it was first reported by CNN and the New York Times. That preliminary report assessed that Iran’s nuclear capabilities had been set back only a matter of months, in contrast to Hegseth’s and President Donald Trump’s statements that the capabilities had been “obliterated.” The Pentagon and the Defense Intelligence Agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Since entering office, Hegseth has fired a slate of America’s most senior military officers, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Charles “C.Q.” Brown, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti, Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan and Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James Slife. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin announced he would step down in November, after being asked to retire last week and forced out of his position. The Trump administration has simultaneously purged a number of spy agency heads, whose roles, like the military’s, are supposed to be apolitical.

If there’s one thing world leaders should avoid, it’s that they shouldn’t make Trump unhappy. President Trump addressed press members at the Oval Office on Friday afternoon. One of the reporters asked Trump what his thoughts were on Russia striking a U.S. electronic company in Ukraine. In response, Trump shared that he was “unhappy” about it.

Who I believe will be… pic.twitter.com/7UtBa4rPlk — CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) August 22, 2025 Barron’s broke down the context behind Trump’s remarks: US President Donald Trump said Friday he would make an “important” decision in two weeks on Ukraine peace efforts — specifying that Moscow could face massive sanctions or he might do nothing. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he was “not happy” about a Russian strike Thursday that hit a US-owned factory in Ukraine “and I’m not happy about anything having to do with that war.” But he said he wanted to see whether Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky would meet first. “I think I’ll know. I think I’ll know the attitude of Russia, and, frankly, of Ukraine. It takes two,” Trump said when asked what he would do at the end of a two-week timeframe he set for assessing the state of peace talks. “Then I’m going to make a decision as to what we do and it’s going to be a very important decision,” he said. “That’s whether or not it’s massive sanctions or massive tariffs or both. Or do we do nothing and say it’s your fight.” Trump — who showed off a picture of him and Putin at their recent Alaska summit, that he said had been sent by the Kremlin leader — has repeatedly announced timescales of around two weeks for decisions on Ukraine and other issues. Many of those deadlines have failed to materialize. russia is deliberately attacking American enterprises in Ukraine, including @Boeing, @CocaCola and @McDonaldsVideo evidence shows the burning Flex plant in Mukachevo.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksyy said the strike on the private U.S. company, which involved “several” cruise missiles, was “very telling” following President Donald Trump’s attempts to force Moscow to end its invasion. “Last night, the Russian army set one of its insane anti-records,” Zelenskyy said. “They targeted civilian infrastructure facilities, residential buildings, and our people. “Several cruise missiles were lobbed against an American-owned enterprise in Zakarpattia,” he continued, describing the company as “a regular civilian business, supported by American investment, producing everyday items like coffee machines.” “And yet, it was also a target for the Russians. This is very telling,” Zelenskyy added. The American business is known as Flex Ltd., whose corporate headquarters is in Austin, Texas, but which has business locations across the globe, confirmed to Fox News Digital that the facility only produces civilian consumer goods. “This facility does not produce, supply, or support any military equipment or defense-related components,” a spokesperson for the company said. Following the attack, the spokesperson said that “emergency protocols were executed” and the site was fully evacuated.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a.k.a. “Maryland Man,” has just been set free by a federal judge. As a reminder, Garcia is an illegal immigrant and suspected MS-13 gang member from El Salvador who has been accused of human trafficking and beating his wife. Despite all this, he was released from the Tennessee jail he was being held in today. Now, he is on his way back to his house in Maryland.

You’ve gotta be kidding me… The New York Post reported: Alleged MS-13 gangbanger and accused human smuggler Kilmar Abrego Garcia was released from a Tennessee jail Friday, with private security escorting him back to his family in Maryland. Abrego Garcia, 30, had been held at the Putnam County Jail since June, when the Trump administration facilitated his return from El Salvador for prosecution on human smuggling charges. “Today, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free. He is presently en route to his family in Maryland, after being unlawfully arrested and deported, and then imprisoned, all because of the government’s vindictive attack on a man who had the courage to fight back against the Administration’s continuing assault on the rule of law,” his attorney, Sean Hecker, told Fox17. “He is grateful that his access to American courts has provided meaningful due process,” he added. The illegal migrant’s attorneys wrote in court filings earlier this week that they had hired a private security company to accompany him from Tennessee to Maryland. US Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes granted his release on Friday while his federal human smuggling case continues. Despite being released, Garcia is not out of the woods yet. His human smuggling trial is still pending. ABC News has more on the conditions of Garcia’s release: U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes said Abrego Garcia shall travel directly to Maryland and must report by phone to Pretrial Services for the District of Maryland by no later than 10:00 a.m. Monday. Holmes said that Abrego Garcia is reminded that if “he is taken into ICE custody, he is required by the conditions of his release to consent to being transported back to this district for further proceedings in this case.” The conditions of release include that Abrego Garcia must submit to supervision by Pretrial Services as instructed, continue or actively seek employment, not obtain a passport or other international travel document and get anger management treatment. Other conditions require Abrego Garcia to not contact “directly or indirectly with any known MS-13 gang members.” Should Abrego be taken into immigration custody following his return to Maryland, Judge Holmes said, the U.S. government “shall ensure that, while Abrego remains in ICE custody, he has access to his attorneys, both physically and via telephone, to allow Abrego to prepare for trial in this case.” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem criticized the release of Abrego Garcia Friday, saying, “Activist liberal judges have attempted to obstruct our law enforcement every step of the way in removing the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from our country.” She added, “Today, we reached a new low with this publicity hungry Maryland judge mandating this illegal alien who is a MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, serial domestic abuser, and child predator be allowed free.” In her July order, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ruled that the U.S. government “shall restore Abrego Garcia to his ICE Order of Supervision out of the Baltimore Field Office.” Xinis said her order to have Abrego Garcia placed under ICE supervision in Maryland, where he was living with his wife and children before he was mistakenly deported in March, is necessary to “provide the kind of effective relief to which a wrongfully removed alien is entitled upon return.”
