00:00We know Trump's posts can move markets.
00:02Now his media company is offering Wall Street faster access to those posts through a new
00:07service called Truth API.
00:10Here's why it's raising some ethical concerns.
00:13The service reportedly charges up to $100,000 per month for ultra-fast access to posts from
00:19influential Truth Social accounts, including President Trump's.
00:23The customers?
00:24High-frequency trading firms, banks, hedge funds and other institutional investors.
00:30The advantage?
00:31Trump Media says subscribers can receive posts through the API within milliseconds, potentially
00:37before ordinary users see them or even receive notifications.
00:41The posts are still public.
00:43The difference is speed.
00:45That might not sound like much, but on Wall Street, milliseconds can be worth millions of
00:50dollars.
00:51Why?
00:51Because when a president comments on tariffs, trade or the economy, financial markets can
00:57react almost instantly.
00:58And that's where the controversy begins.
01:01Trump Media's stock has fallen about 75% since Trump took office.
01:05And the company has reported hundreds of millions of dollars in losses.
01:10This new service could bring in the kind of big-money customers the company needs.
01:14Critics argue that wealthy trading firms could gain an unfair advantage by getting market-moving
01:20information faster.
01:21They also point out that Trump, who owns a major stake in the company, could benefit financially
01:26if the business succeeds.
01:28Two Democratic senators, Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff, are calling for an investigation
01:34into whether the service may violate federal securities laws.
01:38Supporters say the posts are public and that this is simply a premium data feed, something
01:43already common in financial markets.
01:45But critics say the issue isn't whether the information is public, it's who gets it first.
01:51So let's get the interest for another of four.厢
01:52who isn't maintaining thisule number we have in Dieu. So
01:54let's talk about the facts. And
