Ripple RLUSD Surges | Trump Demands Crypto Clarity | EU Meltdown & Musk Retaliates

Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin is surging as Ripple pushes deeper into global finance — efficient, programmable, and built for 24/7 movement. Tonight we break down what RLUSD means for the future of money, DeFi, and crypto markets.

Meanwhile in Washington, President Trump demands real crypto clarity and calls out Congress as the CLARITY Act hangs in the balance. Cynthia Lummis fumbles the political moment, raising questions across the entire digital asset community.

In Europe, the situation gets wild:

EU President Ursula Von Der Leyen claims the EU “protects freedom of speech”… while a protester is arrested right in front of her. Elon Musk is personally fined under the Digital Services Act, X terminates the EU’s ad account, and Musk vows retaliation. The censorship spiral intensifies.

We also cover:

• JD Vance’s hilarious Oval Office story

• Tom Emmer unleashing on Tim Walz

• Dearborn controversy and national reaction

• Sadiq Khan’s Christmas Carol cringe moment

• Europe’s forced migration pact and the political fallout

• John Rich and others weigh in on Europe’s direction

• The Hamas founder’s son speaking in EU Parliament

• UK cultural tension rising

• EU meltdown across multiple fronts

This is one of the most explosive intersections of crypto, politics, censorship, and global geopolitics we’ve seen all year.
