Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here with co host Chip. What is going on, Chip? What's going on? Everybody out there in the on the Chain community. On the Chain family bitcoin exploding past 81,000. What an impressive rally we've seen as it skyrockets, hitting all time highs. It's been, it's been really exciting. Tremendous. Thank you, President Trump. Now here's the big question. Is there an XRP rally coming next? I saw it almost touch 60 cents, then it came back to like 58 cents. So what is in store for the XRP? Trump's red wave is shocking the left. I think they're in complete meltdown because there was a complete red wave. The same red wave that should have been announced in 2020 happened right now 2024 and the media doesn't know what to do with it. Trump won all the swing states and beyond red all over the map. So, Chip, we got a lot of stuff to dig into. We're going to talk about the bitcoin ATH and some other lot of great things that we want to get into today. And stay tuned because we will be giving away some badass yetis.
Chip
Badass yeti, baby. Get your Z while it's ready.
Jeff
Get them ready. Blues and whites.
Chip
Let's go, baby. Let's go. Welcome to on the Chain, everybody.
Jeff
Whoo. Look at that Laurel. Man, I haven't seen Laurel logging in here in a while.
Chip
That's great.
Jeff
In London, Everyone give a shout out where you guys are tuning in from. It'll be really nice.
Chip
You have the right mic on there, Jeff.
Jeff
London, London, London. I'm saying, my, my.
Chip
It seems up. Seems a little hot. Hotter than normal crisp for some reason.
Jeff
Maybe I'm too close. My crisp isn't working.
Chip
Yeah, we're getting there.
Jeff
What else is that?
Chip
It should have been already claimed but they're playing dirty pool right there. Look at this is what I love. Look at this. Los Angeles. That's a blue city. But no, not for Karina Buckner. There you go. Bahamas.
Jeff
How's it right now? Do you. You're hearing it super, super loud.
Chip
Pop it in here as well. It just seems a little bit over modulated.
Jeff
How about now?
Chip
Seems all right.
Jeff
Yep. I don't know what stream yard has done. I can't turn on Chris. It won't let me turn on Chris.
Chip
I don't know.
Jeff
I wonder if I messed up my volume over here.
Chip
So were you affected by the. Did you get the hurricane? I mean, did you get effects from that? Jackie Here in western North Carolina, Wasn't that where it mostly devastated the area? If I'm not what's up north, Idaho is fantastic. It's just amazing. What I've been enjoying so much is I've been told not to gloat, but it's not really gloating when you've been. It's not. It's not really gloating when you're just. I mean, there was so much. Gosh, there was so. It was. It was so. I mean, just remember a week ago, it was a done deal. Harris was going to be the. It was Madam President. Right? That was it. It was done. And there's a great picture of Hillary sitting next to Kamala Harris with the sour puss looks on her face. And I'm like, look at that. Two losers both got defeated by Donald Trump. I mean, like, oh, my God. And then the Bahamas. Bahamas, yeah. It's just.
Jeff
It's not far.
Chip
I mean, it's amazing. I mean, because, like, what they said about Hillary is like, well, Hillary won the popular vote. We got to get rid of the, of the Electoral College. Right?
Jeff
That's what they want to do. If you get. They can get rid of the Electoral College and go. They think if they go strictly based on majority rule, but that shifts the whole principle of. Of our republic. So forget about it. It's not going to happen. They just want to do everything in their power to undo our way of government, to make sure they try to figure out how to get a supermajority. Even that. Come to find out, people aren't so happy with what they did either.
Chip
So Jackie saying she was 45 minutes in North, Northwest North Carolina, 45 minutes from devastation. The eye went right over us and we were spared. I grew up in central Florida. I've never seen anything like that. Yeah, I mean, living in Florida, you think, you see these hurricanes, but the destruction, the flooding, it was just incredible. It's just. And the fact that was so rural and mountainous and, and of course, you know, unfortunately, Trump wasn't president yet. FEMA didn't arrive. There was no help. People like Elon Musk even donated, like Starlinks, but still, you still needed power. You can't run them without power. You still need some kind of power source.
Jeff
Right?
Chip
So, I mean, that kind of devastation is sad. When we think about all the money we send to, like, Ukraine, we think about what happened when that train derailment happened up in, up in Ohio and those people just. Their town got devastated. Nothing. Not even a visit to Say, hey, we're going to fix this up. You have North Carolina, nothing. This is, and so that was also on the ballot. This is what people are tired of. People are tired of not being taken care of. Why? Mostly because what, because it's in a red area? Because Ohio is a red state. Because North Carolina is a red state. I mean, is this, why is it flyover country? Why would you, why would you not pay attention to your citizens? But this is how it's been. I mean, you know, but that's where we've been, Harp. Unfortunate.
Jeff
But we also saw that the fema, you know, comes out that they, at least one person whose guy who just got fired was telling the crew if there was a Trump sign, skip over that house. So there was that. Maybe that was in Florida, you know, in Florida. But there you go. FEMA supervisor instructed aid workers in Florida to skip any home with a Trump van sign. But I'm also convinced stuff like that was happening already. You know, and the fact they couldn't even get up to North Carolina, the fact that like you said, they were, they're sending billions over to Ukraine and then they told people there, we'll give you 900. And it was, it was such a slap in the face of people in North Carolina. They should have been, you know, there should have been semis on the, just packed with support and help immediately. There shouldn't have been a delay. But that's kind of, you know, part and parcel with the administration, which is why people finally, you know, decide, hey, you know what, you guys are done.
Chip
So this is atomizers asking, does Trump actually have the power to fire Gary? Jerome Powell is being grilled, said he can't legally be forced to resign, but that's regarded the Federal Reserve. Okay, so when it comes to the sec, there's no real, there's, there's no real legal statute where he can, he can request that he, that he gives his resignation. However, if you look at Tom Emmer and Warren Davidson's bill, which is the stabilized SEC act, which basically eliminates the position of the SEC chair and sort of stabilize it, takes away that sort of centralized figure of power and puts it into commissioners, which makes more sense, right? Why would you have one person basically dictating how it's going to go, especially when you get a nut job like Gary Gensler in there. But that's all they have to do is pass that. So if they have the House and the Senate, they pass the bill through, goes through the House, goes to the Senate. Trump signs It. Gensler's gone, but chances are it's going to be a rough climate for him anyway. So there's supposedly rumors that he'll give his resignation before the end of the year. I don't think a guy like that wants to stay around anyway. Nothing good's going to come out of it. And you either leave on your own accord or you get kicked out of there. Right. So you can, I guess you can decide how you want it to go. And the same with Jerome Powell. We got some more on that too. As far as the Federal Reserve, we'll get into that a little bit later. So we'll kind of answer your question there.
Jeff
We have, we have a great clip on that one that. Well, yeah, that will dig into. I think there were, you know, some really tremendous statements from Ron Paul that got this from. Are going to be awesome.
Chip
Let her put this, put this post up. And it said, who let the dogs out? Who, who, who, who, who? Available to men. These must be the F assets. Right? So you got the F test. That's xrp, F test BTC and F test Doge. So we're getting close, people. This is getting real exciting. Finally. You know, Doge Dogecoin will have some utility. I don't think it matters because if you, if you guys want to know something else, Doge officially flipped XRP in the top 10. So, so if I go to coin.
Jeff
Gecko here, Doge is number six.
Chip
It's number on. This is unbelievable. So let's, let's pull this out. Look at this.
Jeff
Doge is crushing it. Doge might surpass XRP in, in value.
Chip
Well, XRP is going to drop out. You're going to have Lido state eth, which is going to pass it. And Cardano's coming up. And also we got some stuff on Charles Hoskinson today too, which we'll talk about. And Charles is about to take a very important position which is really. Yeah, it's flipped USDC too. Look at that. That's new. And I looked at that earlier. But if. Let's look at the market cap. Let's back it off a little bit. Look at the market cap. So you got $33 billion. Million dollars. Billion. 33 billion for XRP. Look, Lido staked eth is just. Staked eth is $31 billion. And you got Cardano at 21. Right. So Cardano has a long way to go. But the thing about it is, is that we are into a bull market. You're seeing once you have Bitcoin hitting.
Jeff
You know, look at the exceeded 81, 000.
Chip
Look at the volume.
Jeff
I got 92 billion volume on Bitcoin is, is tremendous.
Chip
There you go. 80 mil. $80,000. That's gonna hit a hundred thousand soon. Someone predicted in 2025. And I said yeah, it could happen everyone. Like it could happen.
Jeff
It's on its way. Look at this shib. So XRP sitting at 8. The shib is at 11. I'm shocked that Tron is still there.
Chip
But, but look at, but if you look at Shiba, you know, it's like look at the zeros in that thing. And it's still got a pretty, it's still got a 15 billion dollar market cap. That's crazy. You imagine to have that.
Jeff
The burn rate's really high right now on the Shiba Inu.
Chip
Where is Tron coming from? That's 59. It's so funny that it flipped USDC. That's funny as hell. BNB's hanging in there at 6:35. Solana's at an all time, you know, running up there too. And then Suey Salana right. Now look at Sui, number 23. That was at 95 cents two weeks, three, two and a half weeks ago. Sorry Sue. So is it. And it was like 50 cents like maybe a month and a half ago. So there you go. That thing's probably gonna make a run to a hundred bucks. Sui's a phenomenal network. It's got everything, property, it's the hot blockchain. And I have a feeling that's going to run to 100. Yeah, about a year. So I'll run to 100. So there you go. I'm not financial advice. I'm just thinking what I think it might do, that's all I'm telling you. I don't know if it's going to go or not. It's pure speculation, pure spec.
Jeff
Like the DOGE is, is at 28 cents. It's half, half the value of XRP have. I mean it's, it's not unimaginable at this point that DOGE could equal xrp, which is a really scary thought, you know, all things considered. Sitting at 28 cents.
Chip
Yeah. And so let's look at this right here. I'm going to pull this up. Caitlin Long, who's been in a fight forever with her bank. I mean, my God, it's just been incredible that she can't get a license. Why? Because, well, you know, there you go over there.
Jeff
So she, it just flipped from 589 to 59.
Chip
There you go. So she was, she was, she was commenting on Ron Paul, this, and, and Elon Musk. So she says, Elon and Ron. The unconstitutionality of the Federal Reserve bank presidents doing official US Government business was argued in this brief by Paul Clement, the lawyer who got the Chevron deference overturned. Oral argument is January 21, the day after election and Inauguration Day. Remember we kept talking about the Fed's going away. Remember we kept saying the Fed's gone. And everyone laughed. It's a debt instrument. It's crushing. If what, what Trump's talking about, to have this, this amazing sort of renaissance that's going to happen, the only way you can do it is to get rid of the Federal Reserve. That's the end of the Fed. Gotta have a sovereign currency, right?
Jeff
And they have to shrink the irs.
Chip
They gotta get rid of the IRS altogether. And that's on the books, too. So John Deaton details why. He says, after I realized that bitcoin and crypto were transformative technologies, I founded Crypto Law US And I did it because I knew disruptive technologies, especially in the world of finance, would be attacked by the status quo. He was pretty much right about that. I never believed for one second that the SEC was going to stop after calling XRP a security. In fact, I sued the SEC only nine days after the Ripple case was filed and argued every token was in danger because of the language being utilized in the Ripple case, I. E. Digital asset security. And about less than a week later, we had him on the chain first podcast in the community he appeared on was right here and we had him because I was pestering the hell out of them, they agreed to do the show. So after over two years ago on crypto law, I said the battle being waged against Custodial bank, which is Caitlin Long's bank, and Caitlin Long could possibly be the most important battle in the war waged against crypto. And he's right about that. This is going to be another one they're going to lose their ass on. Thoughts about this, Jeff?
Jeff
Yeah, you know, I mean, it's, it's kind of crazy. You know, we look at the direction that we're moving in right now, obviously SEC made a lot of missteps with Trump. Trump is undoubtedly going to be the crypto president. He's already said that, wants it minted here in the US Meaning that he wants to see innovation sparked here in the United States. We don't want to push all these blockchain companies overseas, which is what's been happening now for the past three and a half years. But right now it's all about how do we build companies here in the United States, how do we expand the innovation in blockchain. And it's going to happen right now, have more crypto friendly representatives than ever before that have come in. So we're going to have a House that is very friendly to crypto. We have a president friendly to crypto. Because even, even imagine somehow, you know, the, the House and the Senate would have come together and they would have passed a crypto legislation, would have got to Biden's desk. He may have vetoed it, you know, or by the time it went through the Senate and by the time it actually moved on to, to any signature with Biden, the whole bill would have been corrupted. It would, you know, especially, you know, having like an Elizabeth Warren or some of these others that would have hijacked it. So now, and what she's referencing there, we're, we're moving in such a great direction, you know, building, developing, expanding on the technology and making sure that the US Is one of the leaders in the space. We were in a point that I thought, you know, crypto, you know, without the US Involvement, you know, was, you know, could have ended up being, you know, doa, you know, without US Involvement, even though it's expanding in other parts of the world. But if we would have passed some bad legislation here, who knows what would happen? But now things are, have finally shifted. That's what we've been talking about, you and I, for the past three and a half years. It's that swing of the pendulum. And the pendulum is finally moving back right of center, exactly where it needs to be.
Chip
Yeah. And so speaking of Ron Paul here, we're going to put this up here. This is his podcast he does with this other fellow.
Jeff
But we're going to look for litigation. There you go. 2025.
Chip
Yeah, it's going to be. I mean, there's so much winning going on this past week. It's incredible. It's incredible.
C
The IRA accounts that people can look at through working with Birch Gold is in adding.
D
That's right, Dr. Paul. Yeah. Just an addition that we'll be adding this month until black. I will not. The law says that the President.
Jeff
Right away.
D
My Mao was asked with free information. Today's topic, Dr. Paul and I noticed that Fed Chair Powell was asked, if President Trump asks you to resign, will you? And he flat out says, no, I will not. The law says that the President can't Fire me. And right away my mind says, law says, well, there's a higher law, the supreme law of the land that everybody raises their right hand, they swear an oath to. It's called the U.S. constitution. And that law never gave any authority to the federal government to create a monopoly central bank that can manipulate interest rates and counterfeit money. Counterfeiting is a crime. So the government created this bank that counterfeits. That's the law. The Fed should not exist according to the law. But Powell, you know, he didn't mention any of this. And of all monopolies to give, you know, this isn't a monopoly to create milkshakes for people. This is money. This is a part of every single transaction. And in our nation, that they gave them a monopoly, it's astounding. So he's saying, no, the President, because of the law, can't fire me. You know, that's not even the issue here. The issue is the existence of the Federal Reserve. And you know, while that may not be addressed today, it will be someday. And we say the sooner the better. Is that right, Dr. Paul?
C
Absolutely. They're going to continue to mess around with that. But your point is perfect, and that is where do they, how could they be so choosy? You know, it's, I can't do that under the law. So this. And your point is? Right, they're pointing out that the laws, the arbitrary laws that they write that do not follow the rules of the Constitution or natural law, it becomes the law because they've instituted. And you know, the worst part about this is that they cling to that like it's a biblical message. I mean, it is ingrained in them because they don't for a minute think, oh, we have a little trick here we're going to play on the people because they've talked themselves into believing that the Constitution is dangerous if it's overly rigid. So here's a perfect example of this where they arbitrarily pick what is legal and what is not. The constitutional restraint against, you know, a central bank, there's no authority for. That is one thing that they totally ignore. But if they think they can get some benefits from this, they do so.
Chip
Right. Spot on about that, man. You know, how old do you think Ron Paul is? Right? I mean, if you know, it's cool, but I mean, do you know how old he is without looking?
Jeff
Say he's about 80.
Chip
What do you guys think he is? Go put it in the chat right there. How old do you think he is without looking how much do you think talk your Dr. Paul. Yeah. If you guys don't know, he's a Rand Paul's father who's in.
Jeff
My God. No way. I'm shocked.
Chip
He's 89 years old.
Jeff
Eight. He was born in 1935.
Chip
Without looking. Jeff, you looked.
Jeff
I did Look. I said 80.
Chip
He's 89. He looks pretty damn good.
Jeff
89.
Chip
What's with it, man?
Jeff
For.
Chip
For sure. So, I mean, back in the nine, I remember Ron Paul, when he was talking, I mean, they called him crazy town. They called him everything. Well, that's a little bit hijacked. I was afraid to tell you. It's a little bit. It's not. That's wrong. No, but they call them crazy. Todd and I, I remember looking into it and reading him like, you know, he's right. There really is no provision. And the thing about it is, is like, you know, we've already had two central banks. They were both failures. One of them had the, you know, you know, the charter ran out for the 20, but the founders were against central banks. You, you turn over all of this is how it is. Yeah, sure, we'll have a third party. Will we ever audit them? No. Will we trust them? Trust me, bro. We're going to create the money, and then we're going to loan it to you, and then we're going to charge you interest on it. How that. That is a shakedown operation. And the thing is going to be brilliant about that. When it goes in the US it's going to. It's going to be like dominoes. It's going to go everywhere. It's just going to fall everywhere. And that's what they're really afraid of. You want to know what they're really afra. That's why they want to take Trump out, because he wants to get rid of. Anytime people have stepped up. You look at JFK with silver, you look at President Lincoln, right. Anytime they want to change the monetary system, the banking system, well, what happens? People step up and then their own cartels on their side sort of take them out. So it's an interesting sort of a perspective getting back to Kamala Harris and the whole election and stuff. This is something that came out. Jeff, I want to get your thoughts on this one. So he's talking about the campaign. He says, I wonder who's painting a better picture for America. Here's the campaign spending. So Trump raised $381 million. Trump spent 345 million, and he only spent $10 million on his staff now contrast that with Kamala raised $1 billion. Well, she also stole 0.37. She spent 1.37. Okay. Kamala spent $582 million. How is that possible, please.
Jeff
Plus, she, plus she gave Oprah a million. She was giving anywhere she went to speak or, you know, she would, she would pay them. Yeah, the, the whole thing was a, was a show to begin with. So it was pay to play versus anybody supporting Trump. They were there because they were there for the passion of it because they wanted him to win. You know, there was so much more to it.
Chip
You know, the other one parodying the whole thing about the Fed. He puts out amazing stuff about the Fed. Need to do a round table discussion on this, Rob. So thank you for joining, man. And if you guys been following Robert, subscribe to his YouTube channel, please go do that. He brings a lot, drops bombs all the time. And, and highly recommend that. By the way, are you going to the premiere next week of the XRP Unleashed? I wanted to go, but I just found out no tickets are available, so I won't be going. But I wouldn't mind going and hanging out with some people before. Where.
Jeff
Where is it going to be?
Chip
It's going to be up in Atlanta. So I'm up in Atlanta next week, so I'd love to. I'm going to be there. So nice to. Love to. So let me know about that. Rob. Yes, sir. Got an extra ticket, Rob? No, sir. Nobody. Because I reached out to the. I reached out to them because I was like, hey, I got a lot of friends going to be there. And they're like, sorry, if they don't have tickets, they're not going. I'm like, I said, they don't have tickets. I don't have a ticket. So I didn't realize. I lost track of time. I didn't know it was coming up. So, yeah, anyway. Yeah, Wednesday. I thought it was Thursday. Maybe it's Wednesday. Okay.
Jeff
On that point, you heard this speech, right? When he was talking.
Chip
Oh, yeah, this is. Yeah, this is. Yeah.
E
When was America great? At the turn of the century. Our economy was rocking. This is 1900, 125 years ago. We had no income tax, and all we had was tariffs. All we had was tariffs. And we had so much money that we had the greatest businessmen of America get together to try to figure out how to spend it. That's who we were then. Then we had World War I and we had World War II, and we felt we had a duty to rebuild the rest of the world. So here's what we did. We took down our protection, we took down our tariffs, and we turned instead and we taxed Americans so that we could export the power of our economy and save the rest of the world, which we did.
Jeff
We rebuilt Japan, rebuilt Europe, helped Germany. Yeah, but that was military over there. And this is post World One, World War II. We're collecting tax in order to do that.
Chip
Yeah, but after 1913, when the Fed came into existence is when right came in. But dude, if we're going to have over overboard for 3% tax and now it's just insanely crazy. You know, Trump was talking about moving the corporate tax from 20. What, what, 21, 20, 20% down to 15%. Everyone's having a heart attack. Like, get rid of it all, man. This is. You want, you want to have, you want to have somebody Republican in the White House for the next 20 years, 30 years, get rid of the tax. Watch how people's, what they work and what the wage they earn is, what they actually keep. That's going to change everything right there.
Jeff
So that's everything. If you, if you have dollar for dollar, put tariffs in, even if there's some sort of a flat tax consumption tax, you know, for local government to a point. But then you have to think about property tax. But if you have dollar for dollar, you get to decide, you know, what you spend your money on. And it changes, it changes everything within government also. So there obviously still has to be a government, still a way to fund it, but there has to be a cap on what they spend. So if they don't have a resource to just go out there, say we're just going to tax more, you know, going to take more money from the people. And that's how they're always scheming. And that's what, that's the only thing the Democrats talk about. They don't talk about recovery. They don't talk about how do you build. They. All they talk about is scheming how they're going to give money away and how they're going to tax you more. And that's all Kamala talked about when she was talking about taxing unrealized gains. I mean, even, even though, you know that wouldn't happen there, how would they pass it? But why would you put someone in office that even talks like that? Just putting the, the risk of that coming to into existence would be insane. So anybody in their right mind that voted for and supported her while she was talking about taxing unrealized gains, which would have destroyed our economy overnight. It would just devastated it. It would have killed anybody who has anything invested. You know, it would have been a disaster. And, and it's amazing to me the, the difference. Right, so here you have with Trump, we're talking right now, we're talking about the possibility of ending the Federal Reserve. We're talking about taking away federal income tax and then the other side was going to over tax and they were just the zealots of how they can take all that money away. And you know, to this point to Mark Smith said, yeah, they, they invested all that money to hire 8,788 IRS auditors. Of course they need to take that away. They need to slash government down to maybe 10%, 10, 15, maybe 20% of the total politic body over there and start moving some of the bureaucracy in other parts of the country so they can't wheel and deal like they have been in Washington and turning Washington in to the cesspool that it is. That's it. That's what it is, Chip.
Chip
That's what matters. All right, well going back, let's go back to this. So Bill Ackman weighed in on this. He said how's it possible that the Harris campaign spent 583 million, nearly $6 million a day under campaign staff and 103 day campaign while Trump's spending on the staff was $10 million or 100,000 per day, 1/60 as much assuming the same 103 day period, which should be highly conservative assumption as the Trump campaign began money months before the Harris campaign. The numbers don't compute. This smells like fraud or corruption. Before the Trump campaign bails out the 20 million of unfunded commitments of the Harris campaign, an audit should be done to see where the money went. In any case, I have to believe the donors would want to know where the money went. Yeah, don't you want to know? Because Trump was saying he's going to bail it out. We should do the right thing.
Jeff
We definitely want to know.
Chip
I don't know what he's doing there, but he could be master trolling like oh, before we bail him out, let's do a, let's do an audit.
Jeff
You know, he's not bailing them out.
Chip
I don't think he's bailing them out. I think he's doing some masterful trolling. But he did put out a post that, where he said that I, I don't 100 buy it but you know, there you go. And then if you want, and then this is the best. Patrick bet David brought the best commentary. I think he's like, this is very revealing. 10.4 million versus 582 million. That's the difference between how a startup runs versus a government agency. Right?
Jeff
That's right.
Chip
I mean, efficiency. That was the whole. That's the whole thing with the Trump campaign was run on. And here it is right here. And so positive, it's crazy. I want to get this next story. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson confirms crypto advisory role under Donald Trump. Now, he was very pro Trump. He came out and said it. He was also pro Deaton. Right. And you know, this is what happens when you're pro. When you bet on a winner, you get a seat at the table. When you're Chris Larson and you blow $5 million on a loser who had zero indicate. There was zero indication that said she was going to win other than your. Your twisted ideology. You had people leaving the Democrat Party in droves. You had every single minority group stepping up and doubling their vote from the last election cycle. And this was all being ignored. But don't worry, that's what happened. So Chris Larson's, you know, $5 million got shut right down. It was part of that $1 billion. Now they're in debt. And as soon as the election ended, the very next day, they said, help, send money. We need funding. Just, I mean, they went. They couldn't even control the budget. Hey, Apex. They couldn't even control the budget of their campaign. And you look at how pathetic this is. Look at that. 100,000 per day versus she was. She did it for 103 days. That's nine months, $6 million a day. But then we found out that Oprah Winfrey pocketed a million dollars. Now, if we're supposed to feel bad for Oprah, who's a multimillionaire billionaire maybe, and she hosted a one hour talk with Kamala Harris and she didn't even do it out of the goodness of her heart, out of support. She had to be paid a million dollars. This is crazy talk, Jeff. The whole thing's insane.
Jeff
It is insane.
Chip
We are. That's where we are today. So Hoskinson gets a seat at the table. I got a video of him talking about it, I think. Let me see if I can find that video. Video. Where are you? Maybe I don't. Here we go.
Jeff
Within each other again. But we're gonna have to earn that. And that's what 2025 is going to be about. Second, a large part of my time.
Chip
In 2025 will also be devoted to the political process.
Jeff
I'm going to be spending quite a bit of time working with lawmakers in.
Chip
Washington D.C. and quite a bit of.
Jeff
Time working with members of the administration to help foster and facilitate with other key leaders in industry, the crypto policy. We have to do this and we have.
Chip
Yeah, look at that. He got a seat at the table because he bet on a winner. Right. And how do you think Ripple get that ready, Jeff? They just basically lost. They're losing at all. And then what. When did we hear that they met Trump? After the election was over. Stu Alderad with him and in July, the summer, we had a conversation. Oh, but where was that conversation? Talk about how great that was that he sat down at the table with you versus Kamala. Right. Kind of missed that part. It's kind of like, oh, let's wave the flag after the party after we know who the winner is and that it's super easy.
Jeff
But cool is, you know, he's given a point here. Charles is as much a Trump trained guy as Kamala is a conservative. Charles Lubin, Budin and CCP will be exposed.
Chip
There you go. There you go, there you go. Rob Cunningham pulls all no punches right here. He'll always chime in with that. What's going on.
Jeff
This whole thing with Chris Larson and really playing that, you know, playing the fence because you have Brad Garlinghous obviously just from his previous lead up to and post seems like, you know, he voted for Trump. Just seemed like he was already in the Trump camp. But he just, but he's in San Francisco. Does. He's not like he's not willing to come all the way out and say it, you know, like others have, have just come out expected and finally just said. But Larsson had no issue whatsoever coming out and supporting the left, supporting Kamala. Why, why couldn't. If Brad Garlinghouse was on that side, why couldn't he just come out and say it? Just hold. I know he hinted around it. Just come out and just say it. You know, it would have been so much better. But the whole Larson thing, the amount of money he gave to Kamala, it just kind of wacky. Wacky.
Chip
Yeah. The whole thing is, it's, it's. Listen, I mean you don't, I mean that's the whole thing. Do you really have to tell who you, who you are voting for? I don't think it's, I don't think nobody needs to say it. But the problem is they didn't say that they met the ripple actually met with Trump's camp. Right. But they always to. Well, maybe we're hearing that she's doing a pivot. There's zero pivot.
Jeff
How do people no pivot, Jeff.
Chip
People who believe are, like, are doubling down on censorship and control are never going to embrace decentralization.
Jeff
Never.
Chip
It's going to destroy everything they believe in. There's no way you can actually be in that same camp. That's it.
Jeff
Right? That's what we said from day one. We were saying that the whole time.
Chip
We said it the whole time. And you know what? Everybody called us crazy Jeff. You guys are insane. What's wrong with you people? And I'm like, plenty. Where do you start? But that's beside the point. Let's go here. I've headfirst into the shallow end for this. This guy put up a really cool.
Jeff
Post, and he might be exposed, but.
Chip
We'Ll see what happens to be exposed in XRP Unleashed. I wouldn't know. I'm not going to see it. Apparently, it's sold out. It must be a very small theater. That's all I know. It must be a tiny theater. I was like, how? What do you mean it's sold out?
Jeff
We can hold probably a hundred people.
Chip
I was like, what do you. Yeah, I mean, how many people are going to this thing? I was like, I couldn't even get a ticket for it. I mean, come on, 100? Yeah, like 100 people. 75. It must be a small theater. I don't know. I don't know where it is. Rob, let me know. Look it up. Because I was like, if you're gonna have a big premiere, you don't have it, so 70 people can join it. I mean, it seems weird to me, but I don't know. I'm just. I'm. I'm still shocked because I know a lot of other people that wanted to go and can't go either, so I.
Jeff
Just didn't realize only get so many people in.
Chip
I'll offer you my guest. All right. Well, that's awesome. If you offer me a ticket, that'd be awesome. I would love that. Let me know. Hit me on the. Hit me on the idms.
Jeff
Because if that's the case, if you can get in.
Chip
Sweet case. We're in, man. That'd be great. I mean, I'd love to check it out. I mean. But I'm interested to see how this is going to go down. This whole. Because I have this feeling. I have this feeling when I think about, I mean I gotta say it was incredibly well shot. I mean I watch a lot of documentaries, a lot of film I come from that, that you know that's my first area of where I spent a lot of time in I gotta tell you it's beautifully and masterfully shot. Like the promo, the trailer, really well done, right. I mean the shots really well set up. I did probably put a lot of time, effort and energy into it and one and, and we're you know where Dean appears man, he looks just like, you know, amazing. So I, it'll be cool like what happens there but that'd be great. That would be great. Rob, if you can, if you can help me out there I'd love that because then I definitely be able to go but see on Wednesday meet up in person. I've been wanting rate and Rob forever in a day and then I know Mel's going to be there, Mel is going to be up there. I know some other folks are going to be there. So I'd love to meet some of these people in person. But look at this. He says look at this never cool thread he put together. He goes I keep calling this cpc. The so called smart people argument against Trump's tariff plan, but it's only because they're checkers, not chess. And then Trump's plan is the epitome of 5D chess. Here's why. Placing income taxes with tariffs is a seismic shift. And this idea isn't for the faint of heart or for those clinging to the current tax systems worn out model. Imagine no income taxes deducted from your paycheck. Just imagine that Jeff, you get to keep what you earn and that's right, no federal tax holding you back. And for many middle class and many lower income Americans, this could be a significant boost in take home pay. Instead of funding the IRS tax collection machine and hiring. What is it? How many IRS agents did they just hire, Jeff? 89,080.
Jeff
Ridiculous, right? 80 something,087. 88,000 89,000. Whatever the number was, it was just.
Chip
Way too many to hammer the little people and be entrapped by the bureaucratic income tax code designed to squeeze every last dollar out of you. Your tax contributions would be automatically folded into the cost of importing goods. Now let's look at the tariffs from a new tax framework. This plan means the US would replace income tax with taxes on imported goods. So let's break it down. Tariffs raise the price of imported items pushing Americans towards domestic alternatives. Ding ding ding ding ding. By making imported products More expensive American made goods would have a fighting chance to reclaim the market share that they've been losing for decades as they sent most of this to China. Yeah, this isn't a patriotic pitch. It's an economic boost to American industries that have been undercut by cheaper imports for years. Tariffs encourage consumers to buy goods and products made by work, US Workers and US Factories, which translates into stronger demand, more jobs, and even potentially higher wages in manufacturing and other critical sectors. The goal, to bring production home, to boost unemployment not only in manufacturing, but every industry linked to it from raw materials and logistics. Of course, tariffs on imports mean higher prices for some goods. Imported electronics, vehicles and other consumer goods might get pricier. No sugarcoating it. But let's think a little longer term. If terrible tariffs boost domestic production, American companies have the opportunity to finally compete with forwarded manufacturers. And more competition at home should, over time help prices down, improve the variety of products available domestically. Higher wages from increased, increased quality.
Jeff
Well, no, that to me is, that's the biggest part, right? Improve the quality and the variety. So you think right now, how furniture and flatware, dishware, whatever it is, anytime you go into a store, you go on Amazon, you go do a search on Amazon. The first products that come up on Amazon, all made in China, all Chinese product. Some of the electronics, if you're looking for, you know, a simple mouse, everything had been moved to China. All the manufacturing, the quality of everything has come down significantly in order to push prices down. But then what you see is that you have low quality and then the prices come back up. So now you're still paying similar pricing but lower quality. And you know, to me that that's the biggest thing. If you want good quality shoes, you used to be able to get nice Italian shoes for like 100 to 150. Now you can't even find Italian made shoes because they're all made in China. And even textile in Italy is pushed to China. So if you want Italian made shoes now, you're spending four or five hundred dollars on a pair of shoes as an example. That's where you get quality. Everything else is just part of the disposable economy, you know, so he's making some really, really significant solid points is the reasons why we want to bring it back to this country. Furniture for North Carolina, they used to be the epicenter for handmade furniture. Now because of China and Ikea and all the furniture stores, go into a furniture store and try to find something made in the U.S. try to find leather from the U.S. you know you can. It's going to be $20,000 for a sofa, everything else. Because you know, that's the difference, you know, and you need to bring it back here. And it needs to be competitive. And we want quality, we want good craftsmanship. Don't want mass produced stuff over in China. That's his point. You're muted mute.
Chip
I had a cough there, that's why I had a mute. Funny thing is, like he says, higher wages from increased job demand could offset the price hikes, leaving American families with more purchasing power. If you get rid of the Fed too, that's the other thing. Like the inflation when you start printing money. And I'm also wondering too, about the gold. You know what I'm talking about, right, Rob? You know what I'm talking about. The gold that they supposedly seized. There should be. And if you actually audit the Fed, would we find that all the dirty tricks, like we don't know what they're doing in the background. How do we know they don't print a billion dollars and go invest it in The Chinese company? 17 Chinese companies. How do we know they're not investing in all the sectors? How do we know we're not propping up another economy? How do we.
Jeff
Cuban. Do you think Mark Cuban makes all his products? Any of those companies on the Shark Tank? The first, the first thing they ask them on Shark Tank is what's the cost of production? Why can't you move it to China? And that's what they want to do. They push it all to China.
Chip
Yeah.
Jeff
The cost of production and sell a.
Chip
Cheap product, then they're making it. But I'm just. But what I'm saying is if we don't know anything the Fed does, how do we know when they, when they. If they're going to make print money for themselves and then. So if you actually did an audit, would we find there's enough to pay off the federal debt? I mean, it seems like it would be there. You probably collapse the world economy, but that's. I mean, you got to imagine how destructive. But before I do anything, I want to put that out. Done. Meet us at the call window, Virginia Highlands Theater, local available information websites. All right. Looking forward to meeting you, man.
Jeff
Then maybe Mark will show up. Mark wears platform shoes with stutter bell bottoms.
Chip
Where are those bell bottoms, man? You wear some gold studded.
Jeff
Oh, my God.
Chip
And man, we're talking about a shift to the US economy where fewer jobs are outsourced, potential benefits are tremendous. Imagine factories ramping up production, construction booths New facilities, new economy, local economies benefiting from new jobs, current systems built upon people spending more time and money every year, filing taxes, compiling endless codes, trying to keep up with the tax code, trying to basically prop up and keep the IRS afloat. So replacing the income tax with tariffs could simplify government revenue. And then I heard, wasn't it Elon Musk that was saying he's going to give him two years when they fire the government people, he's talking about giving.
Jeff
Them two years to make it easy.
Chip
On them getting to the irs. How many is that? Like, how many people work there? 400,000 people? A million? Who knows?
Jeff
But anyway, all I know is that you have salaries, then you have pensions thread.
Chip
It makes a hell of a lot of sense, I can say that.
Jeff
Let's take a quick break and let's do a quick badass YETI drawing because it's a run out of time. Now, in order for you guys to get this badass yeti nft, you're gonna have to send us as soon as you win. Make sure you're ready to do this. You're gonna DM us your Zaman address, wallet, address, Yeti.
Chip
Just like that. Y E T I type YETI into the chat, and as you type it, you'll notice the entries. You'll notice the entries. Oh, hang on a second. Type yeti in the chat. There you go. Nobody. So there are zero entries. So based on who actually puts that in, let's type yeti.
Jeff
Type.
Chip
And it only record it once. You can put it in 10 times. It only recognizes you once. So two people have done it. There you go. It's good.
Jeff
There we go.
Chip
Type in Yeti. Yeti. Yeti. YetI. We got a bunch of Yetis and they got five entries. And so we'll just. We'll take this off camera, but we'll start chatting and we'll come back to that.
Jeff
We'll come back to it here in a minute.
Chip
We keep typing yeti. We got 10 entries going on so.
Jeff
Far, but we're gonna let it run for a few minutes. So just keep typing in yeti. Anyone who's logged in, you got to be. You have to be logged in. Well, actually, if you're on x or on YouTube, you can actually type YETI. And I'll go into. As long as it goes into our chat.
Chip
Yeah, I keep typing yet it's 4, 8. We'd be giving one of those bad boys away tonight.
Jeff
And this is Badass Yeti away.
Chip
He'll be collaborating, and thank God you know, Trump assembled the dream team and he built. You want to talk about building bridges? Did you ever think in your wildest dreams that Bobby Kennedy Jr. A Kennedy would give, would leave the Democrat Party, become an independent, would have his own campaign and then join the Trump campaign? Right. And then he's gonna, he's, he's basically whatever he wants to do with, with regarding health, he's going to clean that pit of it up. You got Elon on the Doge Committee, which is the Department of Government Efficiency. Department of Government Efficiency. Right. You've got Tulsi Gabbard, who could end up snagging the Secretary of State job. I think she'd be perfect for Secretary of State. We'll see what's going to end up happening. But winners get a seat at the table and losers, they get 51%. 51cent. XRP is what they basically get right there. So who knows? I'm not saying it's not gonna, we're not gonna see something big happen, but it just seems kind of, kind of interesting. But I wanted to recross this right here because we'll come back to. I see. Okay, we got 13 entries, guys, we need more Yetis typed in there.
Jeff
Keep typing in Yeti.
Chip
Excellent chances.
Jeff
Everybody on type in Yeti. We got a nice blue, badass blue YETI that we're going to be giving away. Nft.
Chip
This, this isn't even current. There's like other things that have happened. Plus the Chief of Staff is the first woman in the history. In history. Can you imagine that in government history? And they always talk about Trump as misogynist, but he had just hired a woman to run his staff. Right? The Chief of Staff is a huge, huge position in the White House. It's kind of like, you know, Trump's right hand person right there. So it says. Let's recap what happened since Trump was elected. The EU shifted into buying oil from the US Moving away from Russian imports. Drill, baby, drill. They don't want to buy Russian oil anymore. Hamas called for immediate ceasefire. Putin calls end of the conflict in Ukraine. China expressed hopes for a peaceful coexistence. I hope we can peacefully coexist. Bitcoin reached an all time high and continues to do so. The stock market experience its best day in two years. Iran's currency dropped to a record low. Boo yay. New York City ended its migrant debit card program since their funds have just run out and they got to figure a way to get them out. The US declared a new initiative against cartels. Plans Were announced to withdraw American tubes from Syria. Russia stated it'll no longer ban the US dollar. Jeff, what do we say about bricks? What did we say about brics? It's arrival?
Jeff
We said that right from day one and it's unfolding, it's, it's the craziest thing, you know, there, there's so many scenarios of bricks. The Kamala's making a pivot, xrp, the whole, the low, the lawsuit settlement with the SEC and Ripple. No settlement, no pivot. And you know, and this, this whole thing with bricks going to be a failure and all these. It's crazy where you see all these fanboys out there in The X and YouTube communities that were the exact polar ops and there's so many of them and here we are every single time we're speaking out against it and then we'll see another video or another x + oh, bricks. BRICS is going to be the, you.
Chip
Know, meanwhile members being their own currency.
Jeff
That was going to be their own currency.
Chip
You know, maybe it'll be a basket of currencies. You said they can agree on it now. Trump is back, new sheriffs in town. Guess what put all that stuff on the back burner. Bond yield surge. The dollar saw its largest one day rise in 20 since 2020. Steve Madden is halting half of his manufacturing in China within a year. I ran back to Houthis, declared a ceasefire. A migrant at the US border was disbanded. And Trump hasn't even taken office yet.
Jeff
Right. That's right.
Chip
Winning. There you go. That's it. And that was in response to a guy that was trolling me from, from Wales who was telling me that it's gonna be the worst thing ever. It's horrible that Donald Trump is the president.
Jeff
Trump. Trump has said in the whole world. Putting it back on track.
Chip
Yeah, thank God, you know, he's back, we're back. America's back. The world is back. And the world was saying this. Everybody was rooting for Donald Trump. I mean everybody, it's, it's positive for everything. When the US does well, everybody's going to do well. That's the fun fantastic thing about it. We're all going to be fantastic.
Jeff
So go on. If you haven't typed in yeti, type in yeti and then in 30 seconds we're going to do it.
Chip
Yeah, 15 people. So I'm gonna go back and show.
Jeff
That'S drawing even with 15.
Chip
Get to a key, type it in because this is your last chance. We have 15 entries. You have a one in 15 chance of winning a yeti. That's pretty damn good. Jeff.
Jeff
Some more. We got a whole bunch of people logged in watching. Just type yeti. If you typed it in once, it's not gonna.
Chip
Yeah, it only records it once. So here we go.
Jeff
Recorded.
Chip
Here we go.
Jeff
Ready? Here we go. I'm gonna count down two and go.
Chip
Eight. Seven wheels are smaller than my bathroom. Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. And let's go.
Jeff
There we go, we go.
Chip
Where is it gonna stop? Nobody knows. Nobody knows where it's gonna stop. Boom, boom, boom. So flow. Flow. Digital wins, baby.
Jeff
So flow. There you go. Shoot us a DM over to on the Chain with your Zaman wallet address and we're going to send you a badass, badass yeti.
Chip
Drop the X in there so you can, you can get your wallet address, you to DM it there.
Jeff
Boom. Send that over there from your, from.
Chip
Your, your X account, your X account.
Jeff
Exit over to on the chain. DM it and we will get that over to you. Be sweet.
Chip
So flow.
Jeff
So flow. So slow for prayers.
Chip
Go, baby. It's only fitting.
Jeff
We're gonna keep doing this too, so we're gonna have others. You know, each day we're gonna give away some badass yetis. We got blue yetis, we got white Yetis, and it's exciting.
Chip
Yeah, we got something new coming out too, which is going to be fantastic. Fantastic. Fantastic. This is interesting. Jeff Carlson put this out. What the hell's going on with the US Senate? Hours after Donald Trump wins the most conclusive mandate in 40 years, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against agenda by calling early, early leadership elections in the Senate. Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Ch's. The election's Wednesday. It's a secret ballot and it will determine whether or not the new administration succeeds. Rick Scott of Florida is the only candidate who agrees with Trump. Call your senator, demand a public endorsement of Rick Scott. Don't let McConnell get away with it again. Yeah, and the funny thing about this too. This is, this is. I mean, they'll just basically run that, whoever that person is, out of there anyway. But yeah, John Cornyn is a complete ass hat.
Jeff
I don't that the whole idea that he's trying to step in, you know, Elon Musk. Elon Musk already endorsed Rick Scott and that's gaining some massive momentum. Oh, by the way, that is the badass YETI that so Flow just won. So that's it's like kick ass badass yeti.
Chip
There you go, baby.
Jeff
You know a little bit about that one. The name let me open up the description. I gotta minimize. If I can get the description detail the property. The name of this is. It's one of the shiverspine and his name is. Oh, here it is. It's the name of this yeti. See if I can. I don't know why it's minimized and I can't see it. There it is. They just need to expand it a Jordan. There you go. There you right there on the properties. 323 out of 467 it's its rarity score rare the rarity.
Chip
Go ahead and add it to your. Add it to. You want to see some of the.
Jeff
Other blue s yetis that are out there. If you guys haven't seen the. The blue. The badass yetis but here they are. This is the. The blue tribe.
Chip
NFTs by the way. NFT.
Jeff
These are all NFTs. So you got. And these guys are terrifying right here. The mentalists and then you got the shiver spine. Look at these little guys. You don't want to meet them on a.
Chip
Don't get too close, get too close damage man. They can do some serious damage.
Jeff
Yeah. So these are the. The blue badass yetis and so I'm gonna get those out there and then the white tribe as well. So we got the white tribe. So. Oh, so Flo won. Yes. Got distracted with this kid. Yes, you won a badass yeti. So go ahead and send your Zaman wallet address. DM it a second.
Chip
He didn't see the confetti or anything.
Jeff
He didn't see the confetti. Missed the whole victory. Missed the whole thing.
Chip
All right, there it is right there. Look at this.
Jeff
Yes, you won. Winner. Winner.
Chip
So flow one dude.
Jeff
You won. Look at that. Send it DM it over to. To X or on our X account to on the chain. You know where the on the chain and just DM us. We'll get that right over to you.
Chip
Dan Scavino posted to do another one next.
Jeff
Look at this for our next show.
Chip
Can you hear us now?
Jeff
Look at that. Look at that map. Look at California. California is getting ready to push that old blue. All those, you know, cities out into the ocean, man.
Chip
Look at San Diego, the one little county right there. San Diego's red. Look at that. It's so funny everywhere outside of the big cities where the people are just insanely nuts. See down in Florida here we got Lakelanders like you got Broward and Palm beach that went blue, but Miami's red, baby, red. What's your name win, Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz.
Jeff
Yeah, yeah, she did win. Yeah, Chris Eddie didn't pull it off. And then Joe Kaufman lost against what's his name.
Chip
So it's tough.
Jeff
They're, they're just entrenched in this area. Lois Frankel, Debbie Wasserman Schultz are just, they're, they're political legacies. Go. Are deep rooted that we're in a heavy Democrat area. The Democrats outnumber Republicans here by a big number. But we've been gaining.
Chip
I wanted to play this year. This is a video on, on the whole debt thing going on, if y'all heard.
F
But Kamala Harris is $20 million in debt. She raised $1 billion in her campaign, yet she still finds herself with $20 million in debt. Donald Trump is offering to help pay down that debt because his campaign had money left over. That's what he is intending to do. Now, I do have a few other options that might be helpful for Kamala during this difficult time. Option one, we can send her $750. Option two, we can collect all the money possible to help and then send it to Ukraine. And my last option would just be, you know, hear her out, see what she has to say about how this could have possibly happened, the mismanage of all this money, and then just tell her how we grew up in a middle class family and we really liked the lawns of all of our neighbors. That might be helpful. And an honorable mention could just possibly ask Oprah Winfrey or Taylor Swift to pay for it. What do you guys think she might prefer?
Chip
She's kind of killing her with her own, her own medicine, if that's what you, whatever you call it. But that's kind of what it is. And yeah, what else did I have here? I had some other good ones pulled up. Where are they? I can't find the. Oh, here it is. Rob Schneider sent a little love letter to Rob Schneider, the comedian who's definitely red pilled. My God, he's so red pilled, it's unbelievable. But he. Hey, Jimmy Kimmel, it's me, Wheezy. You know, the unvaccinated person who a few years ago you said you didn't want doctors to help if I was in the hospital, would rather have me die in the hospital corridor. That was hard to watch because we were censored and kicked off social media and we dared question the government's narrative. But you weren't censored. You were free to say whatever you wanted, including making those who disagree with you and get more attacked and feel more isolated. But the other night's emotional monologue of yours was not hard to watch. Please save your tears for the American mom and dad who over the last four years, because of Democrat policies, had to decide whether they should buy groceries or fill their gas tanks so they could either feed their family or drive their children to school and then drive to work because they couldn't afford both. You see, it's easy for you and the Oprah to lecture hardworking American parents who have to work to make ends meet and live paycheck to paycheck because you and the Oprah are rich. Fly private planes and drive and food prices go up 26%. Doesn't affect you and your family at all. Price of avocados went up to $5,000. You and the Oprah would just eat five grand of guacamole. Wealthy liberal elites who live in guard gated communities and immune from the destructive Democrat policies have so deteriorated our nation's cities that American, the average American family is not afforded that same luxury and safety. I. I'd say by a better focus of your emotions would be on repairing your Democrat party that moved so far to the left that they left people behind. And this is what he's talking about. This is Jimmy Kimmel on the left before Trump's election and then Jimmy Kimmel on the right after a little snowflake. What a blowhard.
E
He's a blowhard and a snowflake. He's a blowflake is what he is. He should changed the hats to say make America wine again.
Chip
More than half of this country voted for the criminal. Still trying to figure out what happened. Yeah, we're not trying to figure out Mr. Super Cool Overconfident should call it Make America wine again. More than half of this country voted for the criminal. Still trying to figure out what happened. Don't figure it out. We all figured it out for you, you losers. Rob. Rob Schneider just figured it out for you. Believe that, Jeff.
Jeff
They're so crazy over there on the left. They just. They just don't understand exactly why they lost.
Chip
Well, you know what?
Jeff
Insane. It's crazy. It's crazy. They don't get it.
Chip
Rapaport hated Trump. Called him pig Di something. Yep, right. He has an idea why they lost. Listen to this.
Jeff
The reason why Kamala lost. B Rock and Michelle Obama.
Chip
Barack and Michelle Obama. You're not who you think you are anymore. You're movie producers. You're almost billionaires.
Jeff
You can't show up every four years.
Chip

Chip
No, even. I used to love his rants. Even when he was ranting about Trump, they were so funny. I'd laugh. Like, it was just funny. He'd be walking across the street calling Trump all kinds of names. He would almost get like that. He would almost pop open on his head, like. And I love that he flipped. But I mean, a lot of it, you know? I mean, he saw. He saw a lot of what happened on October 7. He saw a lot of how the Democrats shifted to the left. And he said, like, dude, what's going on with all this stuff? Right? It got to the point of where it was just a little too much for him. He. I think he could take it anymore, you know?
Jeff
And he definitely flipped. He definitely.

Podcast Summary: "Bitcoin Explodes to $81K! XRP Rally Next? Trump’s Red Wave Shocks the Left!"
Podcast Information:
In this electrifying episode of On The Chain, hosts Jeff and Chip delve deep into the latest happenings in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space, with a particular emphasis on Bitcoin's recent surge, the potential rally for XRP, and the significant political shifts stemming from President Trump's influence. The conversation is rich with insights, opinions, and timely political commentary, all interspersed with community interactions and engaging segments like NFT giveaways.
At the outset, Jeff enthusiastically announces Bitcoin's astonishing rally:
Jeff [00:01]: "Bitcoin exploding past 81,000. What an impressive rally we've seen as it skyrockets, hitting all-time highs. It's been, it's been really exciting. Tremendous. Thank you, President Trump."
The hosts discuss the implications of Bitcoin reaching this milestone, emphasizing its impact on the broader cryptocurrency market and investor sentiment.
Following Bitcoin’s surge, the conversation shifts to XRP. Jeff raises questions about XRP’s recent performance and future prospects:
Jeff [00:01]: "Is there an XRP rally coming next? I saw it almost touch 60 cents, then it came back to like 58 cents. So what is in store for XRP?"
The discussion centers on the technical movements of XRP and the factors that might influence its next rally, including market sentiment and potential legal developments surrounding Ripple Labs.
A significant portion of the episode examines the unexpected political landscape shaped by Trump’s influence:
Jeff [00:01]: "Trump’s red wave is shocking the left. I think they're in complete meltdown because there was a complete red wave... Trump won all the swing states and beyond red all over the map."
Jeff and Chip analyze the ramifications of this political shift, highlighting how Trump's resurgence has unsettled the Democratic establishment and media narratives. They cite the surprising success in swing states and the broader implications for future elections.
The hosts transition to discussing the federal government's handling of recent hurricanes, critiquing the perceived lack of aid to red states:
Chip [04:08]: "So Jackie saying she was 45 minutes in North, Northwest North Carolina, 45 minutes from devastation. The eye went right over us and we were spared."
Jeff echoes these sentiments, pointing out inconsistencies in FEMA's response and alleged political biases in disaster relief efforts:
Jeff [05:24]: "If you get a Trump sign, skip over that house... They decided... People in North Carolina got a slap in the face."
This segment underscores the tension between state and federal responses during crises, with the hosts arguing that political affiliations influence the distribution of aid.
A critical discussion revolves around the influence of the President over federal institutions like the Federal Reserve and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC):
Chip [06:22]: "Does Trump actually have the power to fire Gary? Jerome Powell is being grilled, said he can't legally be forced to resign... If they pass the stabilized SEC act, Gary's gone."
Jeff and Chip debate the extent of presidential authority over these bodies, referencing legislative efforts to decentralize SEC power and the speculation surrounding Gary Gensler's potential departure from his SEC role.
Jeff [07:41]: "Nothing good's going to come out of it. And you either leave on your own accord or you get kicked out of there."
This segment highlights ongoing efforts to reshape regulatory frameworks impacting the cryptocurrency industry, emphasizing the potential for more crypto-friendly policies under Trump's administration.
A heated comparison of campaign spending between Trump and Kamala Harris sparks a critical analysis of financial transparency and efficiency:
Chip [28:36]: "Trump raised $381 million... Kamala raised $1 billion... This smells like fraud or corruption."
The hosts scrutinize the disproportionate spending, suggesting possible financial mismanagement within Harris's campaign and calling for audits to ensure accountability.
Jeff [29:28]: "We definitely want to know... Because Trump was saying he's going to bail it out. We should do the right thing."
This discussion underscores the broader theme of political corruption and the need for financial transparency in campaigns.
Jeff elaborates on the optimistic outlook for cryptocurrency under a Trump administration:
Jeff [13:48]: "Trump is undoubtedly going to be the crypto president. He's already said that he wants to see innovation sparked here in the United States... We have a House that is very friendly to crypto. We have a president friendly to crypto."
The hosts argue that Trump's policies will foster a more favorable environment for blockchain innovation, countering previous negative regulatory trends and encouraging domestic growth in the crypto sector.
The episode briefly touches upon BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and potential economic realignments:
Jeff [48:29]: "We said that right from day one and it's unfolding... BRICS is going to be the failure."
Jeff and Chip express skepticism about BRICS's ability to establish a reliable alternative to Western-dominated financial systems, reinforcing their confidence in the U.S. economic resurgence under Trump.
An engaging segment features an NFT giveaway, fostering community interaction:
Jeff [44:36]: "In order for you guys to get this badass yeti nft, you're gonna have to send us as soon as you win. Make sure you're ready to do this. You're gonna DM us your Zaman address, wallet, address, Yeti."
Jeff and Chip guide listeners through the process of participating in the giveaway, emphasizing engagement and rewarding the community with unique NFT collectibles.
Chip [51:17]: "Flow. Digital wins, baby."
This fun interlude not only strengthens listener engagement but also integrates blockchain technology into the show's interactive elements.
Towards the episode's conclusion, Jeff and Chip recap various global and economic events influenced by the current U.S. administration:
Chip [56:15]: "Look at San Diego, the one little county right there. San Diego's red... It's so funny everywhere outside of the big cities where the people are just insanely nuts."
These points encapsulate the interplay between U.S. political maneuvers and their global economic repercussions, reinforcing the podcast's focus on the intersection of politics and cryptocurrency.
In the closing segments, Jeff and Chip encourage continued community participation and tease future content:
Jeff [75:03]: "That's all we have, guys. See you on the next one."
The hosts emphasize the importance of community involvement in shaping the future of blockchain and cryptocurrency, urging listeners to stay engaged through various platforms and upcoming giveaways.
