JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon calls on US to stockpile bullets, rare earth instead of bitcoin
SIMI VALLEY, Calif. — The United States should stockpile guns, ammunition and drones instead of bitcoin, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Friday at the inaugural Reagan National Economic Forum in California. "We shouldn't be stockpiling bitcoins," Dimon said when asked about how industrial policy is entwined with national security policies during a panel. "We should stockpiling guns, bullets, tanks, planes, drones, you know, rare earths. We know we need to do it. It's not a mystery." Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that operates outside of banking or government authority. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March establishing a Bitcoin reserve, which he described as "a virtual Fort Knox for digital gold." "We should be stockpiling bullets," he continued. "Like, you know, the military guys tell you that, you know, if there's a war in the South China Sea, we have missiles for seven days. Okay, come on. I mean, we can't say that with a straight face and think that's okay. So we know what to do. We just got to now go about doing it. Get the people together, roll up our sleeves, you know, have the debates." Dimon joined a fireside chat during the Reagan National Economic Forum in Simi Valley, California, at the Reagan Presidential Library Friday for a sweeping discussion on the economy and how the world's "tectonic plates are shifting" in geopolitics in the form of wars, proxy terrorists and the potential proliferation of nuclear weapons. Dimon underscored during his address that he does not view China as America's top adversary, and instead pointed his attention to the "enemy within" that could lead to the U.S.' status as the world's leader crater. "I'm not as worried about China," Dimon said. "China is a potential adversary. They're doing a lot of things well, they have a lot of problems. But what I really worry about is us. Can we get our own act together, our own values, our own capability, our own management?" "I always get asked this question: Are we going to be the reserve currency?" he said. "No. You know, if we are not the preeminent military and the preeminent economy in 40 years, we will not be the reserve currency. That's a fact. Just read history." He referred to the U.S. government as a "Leviathan" that is too weak to carry out policies, while simultaneously imposing "things on the American public that they're getting sick of." Dimon argued that instead, the U.S. needs to celebrate its long-held values. "Celebrate our virtues: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of enterprise, equal opportunity, family, God, country," he said. "You know, and you can acknowledge the flaws that we have, which are extraordinary — what we did the Black population for years. Don't denigrate the great things of this country, because those are two different things." "We don't talk that much to each other — deal with our policies — this is the enemy within," he continued. "We've got to fix our permitting our regulations our immigration our taxation, which I, I think they're on their way. We have to fix our inner city schools, our health care system." The Reagan National Economic forum kicked off Friday, and includes panels featuring Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, lawmakers such as Sens. Mike Rounds and Bill Cassidy, and leaders from the private sector, such as the CEO of Booz Allen Hamilton, Horacio Rozanski. The bipartisan event works to promote "President Reagan's enduring belief in the power of the free market and individual opportunity to drive national prosperity," according to forum organizers.

Rupert Lowe: Police seized wheelbarrow full of guns from my home
Armed police seized a wheelbarrow-load of guns from former Reform MP Rupert Lowe. The MP for Great Yarmouth was reported to the police in March after Zia Yusuf accused him of making two threats of physical violence, which Lowe denied. The Metropolitan Police passed a file to the Crown Prosecution Service last week, but on Wednesday the CPS said no action would be brought. On Friday, Mr Lowe posted video and images of police arriving at his home and inspecting his guns a month earlier, during the investigation into alleged threats against the party chairman. He posted the videos and images on X, formerly known as Twitter, showing police arrive at night before inspecting guns in the kitchen before leaving at 11.38pm. He said: 'As a result of the false allegations that I made threats against the Reform chairman, on the 14th March at 21.30, armed police arrived at my home unannounced – three vehicles, with four armed officers.' He added: 'The previous day, I had arranged with the police to voluntarily give up my guns. So as you can imagine, to have armed police suddenly arrive on my doorstep late at night was a deeply stressful situation. 'I am a farmer. Farmers have guns, all entirely legally. There is nothing unusual about it.' Police 'confiscated' his guns, he claimed, filling a wheelbarrow. He added: 'I have a large collection, so it took some time - a wheelbarrow was required. 'I of course fully cooperated, and now that the investigation has been dropped I look forward to having my guns promptly returned.' He accused Nigel Farage's party of 'disgusting weaponisation of the criminal justice system', and added: 'The evil behaviour from the Reform leadership must be called out.' In a series of WhatsApp messages leaked to the BBC earlier this year, Mr Farage told an activist Mr Lowe was suspended because he had tried to 'damage' the party before the local elections. Days before details of the accusations emerged, Mr Lowe had given an interview in which he accused Mr Farage of acting like a messiah and said he was not sure he could continue to back him. Reform swept the board at the elections, winning control of a number of county councils. Mr Lowe is still facing a parliamentary investigation into allegations he and members of his team bullied two former members of his staff, claims that he has categorically denied. The MP said he did not blame the police for the way they had carried out their investigation. 'I blame Reform: their disgusting weaponisation of the criminal justice system had very real life consequences, for me and my family,' he said. 'So when people tell me to 'move on', the answer is no. Try having armed police arrive at your home unannounced late on a Friday evening. It is not a pleasant experience. 'The evil behaviour from the Reform leadership must be called out.' On Wednesday, head of the special crime division at the CPS, Malcolm McHaffie, said: 'Following a thorough and detailed review of the evidence in relation to an allegation of threats, we have decided that no criminal charges should be brought against a sitting MP. 'Having considered a number of witness statements, we have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction.' The police report came amid Mr Lowe's suspension from Reform and led to an extraordinary war of words between the MP and his now former party.
