🚨WARNING: Crypto Clarity Act FINISHED (Fed Chaos INCOMING)

**Drew Widerd** (0:00)
And we are live. Welcome to the Blockchain Basement. It's been a while, folks. We are live here, covering the death of the Clarity Act and the death of one of America's most prominent warmongers. Today, the ceremony for Lindsey Graham is underway.
White House was just live covering this event, and it's been a busy day. I just got off the show with Mario Nafal, and I got my buddy, Mr. Matthew Malik. Mr. Malik. How are you doing, good man? I'm doing well, how are you? You know, just surviving and grinding. The altcoins didn't die, thankfully.
And yes, we are live. I just sent a bunch of tips to say hello to people in the arena. We are live on YouTubeX and the arena, and let's get after it here.

**Matthew Malik** (0:47)
Look at the price of the Blockchain Basement ticket. It's higher than DC's.

**Drew Widerd** (0:52)
No way. Really?

**Matthew Malik** (0:53)
Okay.

**Drew Widerd** (0:54)
We're on our glow up stage.
This is the glow up of a century, really. The Blockchain Basement on the arena. So shout out to all the people that have supported us over there. And yes, AG, we are live. Oh boy, it says Jelly. Good morning, everyone. This is where, it's afternoon, roughly, right? Where I'm at here. I work with a Matt Malik in Colorado. Probably not the same one.

**Matthew Malik** (1:17)
Probably not the same one. I haven't been in Colorado for many years.

**Drew Widerd** (1:20)
I'm interested in someone else with the exact same name. You know what, there's another Drew Widerd out there that...

**Matthew Malik** (1:25)
Does he spell it the exact same way as me, the other Malik?

**Drew Widerd** (1:29)
Oh, you gotta ask. I don't know. I don't know. But I know the other Drew Widerd, exact same spelling, lives in Kansas, part of Gold. What's up?
I think his name is Tony Bardzon. Well, I still need to have a call with Tony about the proof of work integration into the school community too, because that matters in a very, very big way. I think that does matter. I have to keep in mind that most proof of work systems get consolidated into Bitcoin. I do. But proof of work systems, man, they're where the real juice is at. Now, speaking of Jews, we have the-

**SPEAKER_3** (2:04)
You're a preacher.

**Drew Widerd** (2:06)
We have, yeah, exactly. So speaking of Lindsey Graham, his funeral procession has just taken place. This is new senator, Darlene Graham, his little sister, who's now all of a sudden a senator.
It's emotional as she honors her brother Lindsey by placing her hand on his casket at this funeral ceremony today. This just went live. And, you know, the entry to this funeral was a little bit sketchy. They were walking his body in and some things went wrong. I got to say some things went wrong. He fell out of the casket and all of a sudden, the outfit that the bombers put him in. Not a great look. Not a great look for Mr. Lindsey Graham.

**Matthew Malik** (2:51)
No, no. Not a great look. Yeah, so. Lindsey's so bloated, so bloated.

**Drew Widerd** (2:55)
Got out to the Warhawks, the last one, but I'm sure many, many will follow.

**Matthew Malik** (2:59)
I'm sure there's plenty ready to take his place.

**Drew Widerd** (3:02)
Yeah, well, it's apparently Lindsey's sister, right? We're now a monarchy that just puts into place his sister immediately.

**Matthew Malik** (3:11)
What would it be?
What's it called? Where like the dukes brother? Like it's a monarchy. Yeah. No. Okay. I guess so.

**Drew Widerd** (3:18)
Yeah.

**Matthew Malik** (3:18)
I mean, I guess it would only be a monarchy if Trump put one of his kids in though.

**Drew Widerd** (3:22)
Yeah. Yeah. So yes, DC, we're talking again. I had to let you know, and that was an uncomfortable prediction about that Dex that shall not be named, hurting my friends, but came to play.

**Matthew Malik** (3:35)
Oh, bit smart, bit shit.

**Drew Widerd** (3:39)
Uh, it's been a shit.

**Matthew Malik** (3:42)
Bow bit the mark.

**Drew Widerd** (3:43)
It's been a rough ride. It's been a rough ride for some decentralized exchanges. I'll just put it that way. Now it's also going to be a rough ride for the Senate in their ability to pass the Clarity Act. The Clarity Act has now been put on hold to prioritize Russian sanction bills.
Oh, great. Yeah, this is what we get when governments basically hijack the narrative of crypto. We get a bunch of people now hoping that the government is going to come save them from downward price action with some sort of Clarity Act coming through.
