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 world? We got some music surprises for you tonight. And we're gonna dig in because flare fomo, huge breakthroughs. Trump targeting the Fed, the UK in turmoil. Who would have thought that? But flare network breaking barrier barriers. It's new F asset protocol. Unlock seamless cross chain payments and settlements. Man, these guys are just on fire from a geopolitical slant. President Trump taking aim at the Federal Reserve. Say it ain't so. Say it is so. And the UK in turmoil. Flags being banned as offensive. We're going to dig into that because I just don't get them anymore. I don't know. And Florida redrawing its congressional map. We got so much stuff to dig into that's critical, crucial, and you guys are going to want to hear it.
B
Going to want to do it, hear it big time.
A
Want to do it, Got to do it.
B
Let's do it. You guys ready to go? Let's go.
C
Welcome to on the Chain.
B
Well, first off, I want to do a big shout out to Beavers xrp. My friends call me gw. Hey, brother's watching from my hospital bed. Hospital bed in Miami. Oh, man. What's going on there, man? Tell us more, please. I hope you're. I think everything's all right. I hope everything's. It's good that you're up and watching, but let us know what's going on. Want to know what's happening there?
A
So Amy reposted.
B
Very good. Very good to hear that. What's going on, Kelly? I'm on time for once. Well, we're on time for once.
A
We're on time.
B
Probably always on time. We, we're always not never on time. We had our act together today, which is really good. So it's good. We're waiting for people to come in. They're like, they're not gonna be live till 8:20.
A
No Mr. Flowers coming to LA.
B
LA. Talented Mr. Flowers. Everyone knows the talented Mr. Flowers.
A
That's right.
B
The person that's probably closest to that talented Mr. Flowers. The talented Mr. Ripley.
A
That's right. There we go.
B
If you remember that movie, the Talented Mr. Ripley. Mr. Flowers. Live.
A
Mr. Flowers.
B
He says, Love from LA. That's good. I thought he said Live from LA, but there you go.
A
Live from LA with Talented Mr. Flowers.
B
Talented Mr. Flowers. One night. One night only. One headlighting. One night only. On Sunday.
A
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.
B
Sunday night live. The talented Mr. Flowers. I love it. Everybody else is probably pulling in here and like they'll be like, wait, it's live. What happened?
A
These guys talking about what's going on?
B
Where is everybody? They're like, well we weren't expecting like, yeah, I got time. It's only 10 after 8 after 10 after. Everybody's fine. Yeah.
A
And we do. We do have a lot to dig into today. But. And I had a pretty good day today. Started around 4am Whoa. Meditated, worked out eating eggs on the patio with coffee by six, washing the cars and then was at the gun range by 1030. A lot of stuff going on today.
B
Zep is in the house. Jim D's piling in. We got Matt Laroche coming from down under. We are live Yeti time. I wore my badass yeti T shirt the other day to the mall.
A
Gotta come look at that shirt man. We need to.
B
When we saw you in person you had that on. That was awesome.
A
That's kick ass.
B
Yetis can attract women. See that?
A
That's right.
B
It's not just a dog. You have a yeti shirt on. There you go. Yeti shirt.
A
Gotta believe it.
B
All you need to have is be you have the yeti shirt on while you're digging inside a fresh bag of freshly roasted coffee as you're crunching beans.
A
While you're walking around the mall.
B
While you're walking around the mall and you have coffee breath. That's great. I'm happy to see that Jim D's.
A
Hanging out in the house at his jazz club.
B
Always the jazz club man. Always the jazz club. Jazzy Jazz. Jazzy. Jazzy Jeff. Remember Jazzy Jeff wasn't Jazzy Jeff.
A
Jesse Jeff and the Fresh Prince. When I Willie said someone just sold 24000 bitcoin.
B
God. Man.
A
Huh? That wasn't me. Just want to let you know.
B
24 000, man. That's a lot of bitcoin. Yikes.
A
Shoulder surgery.
B
That's what's taking the price. Okay. So here we got some more news and update on Beaver's xrp. My friends call me gw. Failed shoulder injury four weeks now reopened. Found a bad infection. Infectious disease getting involved. Just an old marine too hard headed to let this take me down. All right man. Well you hang in there man. Old marines need, need, need help too. They don't want to be the last ones. So it's glad. Good thing you're getting that looked after.
A
That's right.
B
Just disease. Matt La Roche, if you haven't got your yetis in display. What the hell you doing? Buy them then so and then set them free, baby.
A
Set them free. I love the idea of the T shirt. That was kick ass. I would like the yetis on a T shirt.
B
Yeah. Howdy. Wise food.
A
Wise fool is here.
B
Beautiful. So, yeah, I mean there's a. Well, sometimes on the weekends. Jeff, slow news. It's not always going to be great stuff happening. Except moon chaser went to a flare event. So we got some video.
A
Sweet.
B
You won't see anywhere else.
A
Exclusive.
B
Exclusive. Well, only if we have it on it, but I don't know anybody else is going to be playing it. But Flair is an exciting project. We're going to try to get Hugo on here that's invisible and have a conversation. What you got there?
A
An invisible can.
B
Look at that. I see that. What kind of. What is it? What is this? What are you drinking?
A
Sparkling water, real squeezed fruit, a little bit of lime.
B
Athletic, if you want to know.
A
Athletic.
B
Athletic.
A
After the. After the gun range, we went to tap 42. Had some wings and calamari and a Stella. That was pretty good.
B
That sounds delish.
A
That's very good.
B
Still is great.
A
Stella.
B
Stella is one of my favorites, man. One of my favorites. I was going to share the yeti screen. What am I sharing the yeti screen for? We only have two yetis in there. Type in yeti if you want to win a badass yeti. By the way, we got a really solid tune for you guys tonight.
A
Tonight too.
B
Very good night. Jeff changed it up a bit. Coming in with something strong, man. You know, like this, like this one tonight. You're gonna love it. Yo, there we go.
A
Multi chain payments, dude. I'd love it. Love the idea of multi chain payments.
B
That's right. You can't win it won last week.
A
That's it.
B
You cannot win. All right, so here we go. Multi chain payments made simple. You're like, oh, how learn how f assets can you make it easy. The protocol unlocks the seamless cross chain payments and settlement. Remember, this trustless bridging system goes far beyond xrp.
A
That's right. Forget about xrp.
B
Mastered early. So there it is right there. Boom. You guys can sign up for this. This is August 27th. It's coming up, but it is. You can do it virtually too, which is kind of cool. It's mostly for developers. So a lot of it might be over your head. But the fact is that they're going to talk about, you know, building multi chain payment portals. So, I mean, you can always listen in if you want. But I thought it was pretty interesting. They had this, this is what it is right here. They do these builder workshops. This is session number 12, facets and action. So if you want you can just go register. I'll drop that in there if you guys want to pop over there. If there's any devs in here that want to check it out. But there you go.
A
Loving the flare here. Loving the Flare.
B
So this session is really designed for developers and builders looking to explore how Flares F asset system enables seamless payments through assets of non smart contract chains like Bitcoin, XRP and doge. We'll walk through design and architecture of a multi chain payment app. We'll show you how to leverage F assets, smart contracts and Flare's native cross chain capabilities. You're going to learn how to accept payments in F assets, interact with the F Asset and Oracle systems, integrate Redemptions into your UI UX flow and then also build protocols that operate. So it's cool, it's a fun thing. There'll be a demo, you can stick around live Q and A. But again, if you want to keep up what's going on, sometimes it's just fun to kind of sit in on these things. And there you have it. There you have it.
A
I love, I love to see, you know that they're moving forward, developing, you know, there's things going on with flair. Super passionate about cross chain development as are many here. I know you are as well as this Zep. Look at that cool picture of Zephyr was a badass yeti right there.
B
Zeppelin rocks. Zeprox. Get the Zep out. So what I was talking about a little bit. So Moonchaser happened to be over there in Tokyo and there was a, there was a flare meetup and then I've got a video to show too, but so I want to run through some of this. You did a great job of taking some notes here. So notes from today's second crypto event. You know the TLR tldr, which means too long, didn't read if you don't want to read all this. Basically the blockchain Nexus number one was presented by NTT Digital served as a local point for exploring the next era of Web3 in Japan and globally. The event featured a rich variety of panel discussions covering everything From DeFi and AI to privacy, tech and infrastructure. Privacy. First innovation was in the spotlight. The sessions included tokenizing real world assets which Jeff, we hear so much about that these days.
A
I love it.
B
Yep. Right. I mean everything's Everything's tokenized.
A
Funny because everything's, everything's getting tokenized.
B
It was the talk of it. Now it's actually happening. You've got the AI and Web3 infrastructure knowledge systems. Then you have the user experience and scalability with zero knowledge privacy. Decentralized computer. Look at that. Spelled decentralized wrong. The British version. British spelling. We use a Z. We don't use this.
A
I don't know how they spell things over there.
B
We, we, we changed it. We changed that to a Z.
A
Well the thing is they create, they created the language. We perfected the language.
B
That's, that's. Well that's kind of like what I think about Apple. Apple didn't invent a lot of stuff. They just perfected it. Jeff.
A
We just had to innovate the language. You didn't have to invent it, right?
B
Yeah. If you want to know Jeff, I'm gonna, I'm gonna fix it here.
A
See we could, if we could fix it that way we can read it properly. Otherwise. Otherwise I don't know if we can read it right. There we go. There we go. Decentralized. Otherwise it was like decentralist centralized. Decentralized.
B
Yeah. Now reads decentralized. Check.
A
Now it works.
B
So some of the key takeaways in brief where domain names have been reimagined as creative tokenizable financial instruments and platforms like DOMA operating within the bounds of ICANN registration. This is really cool. Injective emphasized blockchain's global reach and the seamless shift of Web2 assets into Web3. And then the notion of the transactions per second theater surfaced. Talking about the speed throughout the metrics are second to real world deliver value delivery which depends on both user engagement and developer activity documentation remains a challenge. Many blockchain projects still suffer from poor and outdated docs. Yeah, you know why Jeff? Because they're flying. They're building the airplane as they're flying it. So it's like you don't have time to rewrite exactly what it is on. You know?
A
That's right.
B
Thought provoking infrastructure concerns each ecosystem. Hardware limits storage bandwidth and compute. Overcoming these is crucial AI agents which you've also heard a crap ton about. We soon guide wallet interactions warning users before signing transactions.
A
That's interesting.
B
I like to get a bad AI agent. If you got like a.
A
Like if you have a bad one, that, that guy.
B
Yeah. Go ahead and set it. Oh, I'm. Oh geez. I'm sorry.
A
Yeah. Did I forget to warn you?
B
I wasn't paying attention. I'M sorry, I'm too human. Like we may have. Oops, sorry. Zero knowledge identity tools ZK to KYC Promise privacy preserving onboarding. But adoption remains complex. And this is the big barrier right here, the whole adoption. The more complex it is, less people. Especially if you're dealing with people's, you know, with, with value. Right. It's like, you know, $20, no big deal. $10. When you start to deal with hundreds, thousands, Tens of thousands. Yeah, it gets a little bit complicated.
A
People aren't as open. They're not, they're not the players. They're not the players there. If it's a, you know, a couple bucks. Yeah, you start talking about thousands people get.
B
It's different. If it's a lottery ticket versus.
A
Yeah, a little bit. Has it. Yeah. Because the, the question that you always hear from people, you know, kind of goes like risky.
B
Is it risky? Is it risking? Is it risky? Yeah, it's risky all right. It's very risky. Risky. It's like, it's risky. It's just like, like margaritas. Margaritas. That's your cue, Jeff. Margaritas, Margaritas. Yeah, exactly. Right. So NTT Digital for amazing events. So there you go right there. Evolution, practicality, real world assets and defy. And there you have some of the speakers up there too. So what a cool, what a cool little event.
A
It's really.
B
I did want to play some video from there because we do have the, the gentleman who's from Flair who's in charge of growth. So I wanted to put that up there. Let's listen to that. Great. I did boost the audio on this because it was though and I was like, oh, this isn't going to work. We won't be able to hear him. Where is the flare? There it is. Here is Max Luck. He's the chief growth officer at Flare. So here it is recorded by Moon Chaser. Here we go.
D
The local community. For me, you know, I'm head of growth at Flare. I go to a lot of the conferences and it's, it's really lovely to have such a lovely.
B
That's really blown out, man. Hang on.
A
Yeah, it's super distorted.
B
Hang on a second. Let me just remove that for loud and distorted. Let me move that, man.
A
That was crazy.
B
See if I can maybe.
A
Wow.
B
Do I have the original one? I don't know if I do.
A
But the whole point, you know, with getting to attend, you know, some of these meetups, you know, seeing devs getting together, seeing a passion and focus on building in the space and then See that the company, you know, getting behind it to really help support the devs in this space to continue to build on the platform. I mean, that's really what's needed. There are a few hiccups, you know, along the ways early on, you know, with flare, with dropping of the. The flare token, the airdrops, and the Songbird, and kind of a misunderstanding from people in the community that we're getting, you know, free airdrops and then the. Yeah, there's a bunch of animosity early on, and I'm so glad that that's way in the past that we've gone so far beyond that, you know, and it was hard to see and say, look what the. And we called it out today. Forget about, you know, the community here. These are investor communities. These aren't the devs, you know, but let Flair do what they got to do, and what they got to do is continue to build, you know, and so thank God, you know, it's really cool to see, you know, after. What has it been, you know, three years. Was it three years ago when they did the whole. Began the flare drop? Is that two years ago? Three years ago, dropping the flare and the. And all that good stuff in the Songbird.
B
It's coming. It's coming up. It's coming up. I think it's.
A
Is it more than that?
B
Maybe there's a few months left. I think there's only a few months left on that airdrop, too. But it was great.
A
Wow.
B
I mean, people got in it, but everybody was like. People were very worried. They were very. They were just very.
A
In February.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
Loving it. Loving it.
B
The flare drops, ends in February. There you go. Yeah, There you go.
A
Yep.
B
Wow. Three years already, Jeff. My God, that's crazy. So here it is.
A
I'm saying, like, I can remember we did a. We did one of the shows. I was in the airport. We're talking about Songbird.
B
Yeah.
A
That's how crazy that when I think.
B
About Songbird, I think about the Oasis song, Songbird. It just starts playing in my head. I can't. I can't stop it. It's just like. It's just too much. It's too much. It's too much. I cannot take it. Yeah. So here we go. So let's try this again.
A
All right, here we go.
B
Here we go. This should be better. Let's try this.
A
Roll it from the local community.
D
For me, I'm head of growth at Flare. I go to a lot of the conferences, and it's. It's really lovely to have such a lovely turnout of people here. So thanks for coming tonight. I hope that you found the presentation instructive about what Flair is doing, its positioning within the industry for, you know, providing. Providing XRP 5. Flare's main intention is to become the defi hub for non smart contract tokens, starting with xrp. And we'll be going from there into other other types of tokens as well, including bitcoin, dogecoin. And I know that there was mention of Stellar more recently. Exactly. So it's exciting. You're in the right place to learn. And I'm actually very proud of the guys today who've been. Who've been giving the presentation. They really are going to be understanding how to explain Flare to the broader community. And I think if we can help people understand Flare's positioning, then we can all make it a very good success. So thank you so much for all being here. I might pass it to Kai Kyle just to give a quick introduction. Kyle is our lead here in APAC in general with a big focus on being in Korea, in Seoul.
B
Thank you. Welcome everyone. Thank you for making our night special. I think the interest from the community.
D
Members like yourselves make will make Claire great.
B
But anyway, making Flair great again. Yeah, it almost felt like that's where he was going.
A
It's kind of where he's going.
B
He kind of said he was like making Flair great and he kind of like was like, all right. Did I just say.
A
I know. He kind of caught himself. That was great.
B
Let's listen. Let's listen to that again. That was good. Make will make there great again. But anyway. Yes. And also.
A
Also say something in Japanese.
D
I'm still trying to learn.
A
Impressive.
B
It was cool, man. It's great. What a nice, cool little insight to a really neat meetup in Tokyo. How cool is that?
A
That's very cool.
B
And Chaser recorded that and did that big breakdown there. So there's always these little things that are happening. Just the stuff we don't even hear about. If that hadn't been recorded, we probably wouldn't even know about it.
A
No, exactly.
B
You know, so it's kind of a cool thing that we actually did hear about it.
A
Make player great again. Just make player great.
B
Yeah, just make it great. Period. Yeah, no, it's. Listen, I like the fact that Hugo's don't put a lot of time and effort into especially testing the test net and everything else. It takes time, man. If it was, you know, some, some. There's been a lot of missteps. For certain projects. So I'm just confident that flare. I. I think there's going to come a time where you're going to look back and you're going to be like, what, two. I bought it at 2 cents. People will be like, what? Yep. Oh, my God. How. When did you get into it? And it might not be that long ago, quite honestly, but the fact that you can get into it sub 2 cents is pretty amazing. And a lot of people, you know, the drops were even under $0.01, but I mean, people are like, what's going to happen with flair? What's going to happen with flare? And meanwhile, there's a hundred for a dollar basically right around there. 80 to 100. I don't know what the price is right now, but that's incredible, you know. Interesting.
A
Let's see where we're at right now. Where would you want to buy it?
B
What do you got?
A
0.230023. So just over two cents. Not bad.
B
So, yeah, it's just like it was just hovering on $0.01. Like, what? So you've already doubled your money. If you got it $0.01, you're at $0.02. There you go. The fact that it won't. I mean, it is, to me, it's really undervalued. But again, once this, it'll start paying. Once the network's up and running, it'll start really get cranking up and going. So that'll be really great.
A
Yeah, look at that. Look at that right there.
B
Boom.
A
Layer updates.
B
Flare, baby, flare.
A
You gotta have some of your momentum right there. Look at that. Look at these shuffles down. Look at that volume. It's a big volume going on right now with flare. I like that. I like like 6 million. 6.6 million in volume. That's good. Let's see what's the. What this was over here. Seven. Look at that. 7.8 million. Almost 7.85 million. That crushed it. That was earlier today. Seven point, almost 8 million in volume.
B
That's insane.
A
Some big numbers. That's good.
B
That is good. Wow. Jeff, you remember, for some reason, when I think about flair, this is what comes to mind. I can't play the clip because of course copyright, but I can. I can show the still. So I will at least show the. Or at least the fact that it's stopped on this. On this one side. But tell me if you guys remember when somebody got in trouble for not wearing enough flare. That was from. Oh, was that the one where she didn't have enough flare? She was. She Wasn't wearing enough flare or is that a different.
A
Oh, yeah, you're right. That was Office Space. No, that might have been a different movie.
B
That was a different.
A
I think that movie took place in the restaurant, didn't it?
B
You're right. That was in the restaurant. So this was a different. This is something else then.
A
I think that's what it was.
B
But I remember it was like, had all the buttons and stuff, but they called it flare, I think. What movie was that?
A
Or was it in a grocery store?
B
No, it was in a restaurant. It was in a fries.
A
The restaurant one. Yeah.
B
It's like a Fridays, right?
A
Exactly.
B
Wearing enough flare. What movie was that? Let's see. Yeah, we're not wearing enough flare. That was. That was from. It was from Office Space.
A
It was Office Space.
B
That was the. That was the clip.
A
That was. That was the scene.
B
That was a scene. Yeah.
A
Okay.
B
She got in trouble. She wasn't wearing enough flare.
A
You know, she's in the restaurant there.
B
Yeah, yeah. So there it is. There you have it. There you have it. Flare. $10 to a hundred dollars mark. I like the sound of that. I like the sound of that. For sure. Man. She has a great head. Oh, okay. I see what you're saying. Office Space. That was Office Space. Not enough flair. You're not. Sorry. You're not wearing enough flair. She got mad, just basically told them off. That was great. So something I'm pretty excited about, Jeff. This is really something I didn't think would ever happen, but. And it's very obscure, I will give it that. It's super obscure.
A
Right.
B
Let's see here. We've got. Here. Where is it? Where is it, I tell you? Let me remove that. Trying to do.
A
What are we talking about?
B
Why do you have to click six buttons just to share a damn screen? It's just ridiculous. It's insane.
A
It's too many. It's a. It's an active utility tried to share things.
B
Joe Gibbia posted this. I'm honored to be appointed by President Trump as the first design officer of the United States of America. This has never happened before. Jeff.
A
Look at that.
B
Notice. The government is just. Everything's poorly designed. The software is bad, the user experience is bad from top to bottom, everything.
A
Yeah, it's.
B
They don't operate like a. Like a company in the private sector. They operate like. Because, you know, you're talking to government.
A
Like a company in government.
B
Like, I always complain about this, but when you go into the post office, your only job is delivering the mail, sending the mail and having stamps. That's it. And you go in like, oh, we're out of stamps. But you know, it was the role of stamps. You know, the roll of stamps, right. When you're doing a lot of mailings and stuff. I mean, obviously they have the little booklets, but like that's, that's your. That's like one of your only jobs is to have stamps. Well, we don't know when you're getting them next. We don't know. Maybe on Tuesday, maybe. Dude, you're a freaking post. How do you run out of stamps? I don't understand how you run out of stamps.
A
Your only product, your only most important product.
B
It's not like you have like, you know, 4,000 SKUs. You know, we have 4,000 SKUs. I'm sorry, we're out of 3,721. We have 22 in stock if you want it. But stamps, I mean, but this is what, this is one of the key reasons right here. He says, my directive is to update today's government services to be as satisfying to use as the Apple Store, which.
A
That's awesome.
B
Let's. That's a little bit of a tall tale. Let's just start. Let's just make it useful.
A
Let's make it as useful as Amazon.
B
We'll make it. You will get there. It's not going to be Apple story quality yet, but it'll get there. Beautifully designed.
A
One Amazon Store, great user experience, runs.
B
On modern software and experience that projects a level of excellence for our nation, makes life less complicated for everyday Americans. Now you're talking.
A
It should be simple, easy, nice. Make a nice app out of it, whatever you got to do. Yeah, it should be make people's lives easy.
B
He says. I want to thank Trump and his administration for creating the vision, supporting America by design. I will do my best to make this the US the most beautiful and usable country of in the digital world. If you're interested in joining me at the newly established national design studio reach our logos, please reach out with your link to your work. There you go.
A
Elon Musk responded. Look at that.
B
Congratulations, man.
A
Congratulations. That's awesome.
B
Thanks. E. Lucky to have you leading design the usa. I've seen your passion for design firsthand. Look forward to working with you in further.
A
Thanks.
B
Great.
A
Look at that.
B
Great. Considering Christian said great you're doing this here in the admin. So great to have you here. Likewise Serum. I. I mean look at all these great. Look at all these big people chiming in. Greg Abbott, man. Governor of Texas. Excellent. Congrats.
A
Great responses, man.
B
I mean, everybody here is like, everybody. Secretary Jim o'. Neal. I mean, it's like just a who's who. John Lonsdale, man. Raheem Kassam, man. Love Raheem Kassam.
A
Every. They all want to get their congratulations in early so that maybe he'll work, you know, do some design in their department first.
B
It's a big job, Jeff. This is a massive undertaking. Then you've got all the clubs under here a lot.
A
Yeah, but a lot of things.
B
They need to have a great thing. So the funny. Here's the executive order. This is it right here. Improving our nation through better design Purpose. America has long led the world in innovation, technological advancement, and design. But with a sprawling ecosystem of digital services offered to America, the government is lagged behind in usability and aesthetics. There's a high financial cost of maintaining legacy systems, to say nothing of the cost in time lost by the American public trying to navigate them. So it's time to fill the digital potholes across our nation with this order. I'm announcing America by Design, a national initiative to improve experiences for America Americans, starting with breathing new life in the design of sites where people interface with their government. It was funny because one of the. There was somebody. I remember who it was, but they commented on the court papers that were posted for the ripple, right. That it was agreed to it. It's finally done. It's over. And he commented. He said, like, why is it formatted like that? I'm like, well, this is the. Depending on the jurisdictional. Wherever you are in a jurisdiction, they all have their own rules, but for the most part, it's very similar. But there's certain. They, like, they need to update that policy because it looks like from the 70s, it just looks horrible. You know, you ever get an airline ticket? It's like, you know, it's all Virgin does a great job. Virgins are really highly designed and stuff. You get an airline.
A
Virgin is nice. Oh, yeah.
B
But I'm saying, like, you know, Jeff, like, when you. You know, it's always on the app. So the app's just like. The app is much better, but that stupid printout. Like, if you get upgraded, they give you the stupid. And you're. You're looking at. You're like, where the. Where the hell's my seed? Like, you can't find anything on there. You know, you can't read anything on there. It's easy in the app. You just go like, okay, the app is done well, but he goes on to. So that's interest. Well, hell yeah.
A
Dude, go get some drinks.
B
Yeah, get over that swim up bar. Dude, come on.
A
Something policy.
B
My administration delivered digital and physical experience that are both beautiful and efficient, proving the quality for our nation. Towards that end, the National Design Studio will advise agencies on how to reduce duplicative design costs. You standardized design to enhance the public's trust and high impact service providers and then dramatically improve the quality of experiences across the American public. There's established national initiative America by Design. So it's like it's a really good thing implementing America by Design. Heads of agencies will consult with the channel Chief Design Officer to implement the American by design initiative with the respective agencies. She'll produce initial results by July 4, 2026. Heads of agencies prioritize websites. Dude, this is such a massive one.
A
250 years. I mean, there's gonna be a lot going on.
B
Trump is thinking about this.
A
Oh, oh, yeah. And that's where BBRS said POTUS knows how to find talent. You know, his team is bringing back a republic.
B
Hell yeah, man.
A
One design at a time. Like Zober. Interoperability. Nice big word. It's a word that not everybody can pronounce.
B
It is a big word and I think the problem with it is it kind of throws people a little bit. It's a little bit complicated, you know, because you say like interoperability, decentralization, you know, it's I think for newbies too. Like everyone just assumes, oh, you don't know what interoperable means. Yeah, it works with multiple systems. Okay, what about decentralized? Yeah, you don't have a intermediary party. Right. That can screw stuff up. And I think that once we get past, once we get deep into that, I think it could be even crazier when we start thinking about what, you know, governments being decentralized. I mean, just imagine that.
A
Yes, we'll get there. Hey, it is the bottom of the hour, so get ready.
B
Okay, guys, wanted to change it up. This is a big change up here. This is more heavy metal, man. No more heavy metal.
A
We're done with a screeching, screaming heavy metal onto a whole new genre. So here we go. If you guys are ready, let's let this song roll. Get your typing skills ready. Got to type in the word of the day. And here we go.
E
We're live on the chain tonight to win a badass yeti straight straight from the Blue tribe. Heavy and steady word of the day Yeti.

Dude, there you go. That was beautiful.
A
I like that one. That was a good.
B
Beautiful.
A
I like that one.
B
King is here. Beautiful, beautiful. Man on the chain. Yeah, it was a good one. That was a banger, man. You get original songs here. We. We really ought to turn those into NFTs.
A
We have to figure out segue into this. Every song is going to be an nft. Nft.
B
If we only had the time and patience. This one here from Donald Trump. This happened a couple days ago. We meant to talk about it yesterday, but we got kind of carried away. It happens this right here. He said to my great honor to report, yes, the United States of America now fully owns and controls 10% of intel, the great American company. That's even more incredible future. I negotiated the deal with LE Boonton, the highly respected chief executive officer of the company. The United States paid nothing for these shares, and the shares are now valued at approximately $11 billion. This is a great deal for America and also great deal for intel, building leading edge semiconductors and chips, which is what intel does. It's fundamentally the future of our nation. Make America great again. Thank you for your attention. You know, she puts that on everything now. Thank you for the attention to this matter. So there it is. Jeff, what are your thoughts on this?
A
Well, before we comment on this, because it's going to be inevitable that we're going to go into a little bit of a rant.
B
We may.
A
So I might have to just play this just to get people prepared. Oh, for the rant.
B
Oh, no.
A
Even though we're kind of moving in this direction. But just you guys gotta. I gotta get everybody kind of in the. In the vibe spirit of the rant, even though we can just flow with the ramp. But this, I think will help People a little bit with the vibe of it.
B
Oh, boy, here we go.
A
Let me just roll this.
E
Oh, no. They gave Chip a mic again. And Jeff's right there, too.
A
No.
E
Chip rolls in, coffee in hand, dropping truth bombs all across the land Jeff's got stats, facts locked tight Every stream never dropping true serum all night, V was tuned in, listens worldwide Chat's on fire, can't stop the ride. Is it rigged? Crowd shouts back, Jeff, grin, fly, rumble, attack, Dark chipping Jeff, political rant saying all the things the others just can't Shout to the listeners, shout to the crew, the viewers bring the energy. Yeah, that's you jacked up strong on badass. Yet it's roast obsidian bull. Dark roast the fuel we love most. They roast with fire, they clown with wit. Mike still smoking. That's legit.
B
Wow, man, that was a lot of fun. Two bangers in a row.
A
Two in. In a row.
B
Give Chip Mike again. Holy cow.
A
Mike and hint.
B
Mike and hand, baby.
A
Here we go, man. So first, I didn't realize they were, you know, I'm gonna start making ships here, but how do you feel about that? They're gonna be other chips. It won't be the only chip.
B
Yeah, well, first of all, when I saw this, when I heard about, I thought, this is a really bad idea. This is a horrible idea. It's a really bad idea. I mean, it's never worked out well in the past. It's gone horribly wrong. But the government doesn't have any place to actually pick winners and losers. That's the whole point if the government's picking the winners and losers. Because the other thing, too, is this looks like a, Almost like a shakedown. Trump negotiated it, right? And now it's valued at approximately $11 billion, and the government paid nothing for it. It just feels very dirty to me. I don't know. I, I, I understand. Now, the whole thing is the national security issue. The other problem is, is Intel's had a very bad year there. If you look at their profits and stuff, it's gone way down. They've had a lot of fallouts. They're not doing well. But it really is the only chip made in the United States. Like, even Apple designs chips, but they're not, they're made in Singapore. A lot of the chip makers are in Singapore. So that creates a national sort of an issue that if you have chips that are on military vehicles and military devices that are made outside the United States. I get all that, but is it the government's role to be stepping in and purchasing, you know, in this case, gifted. But regardless, should there. Should the government own any stock or 10% of any company? I just don't think it makes any sense. You're starting to get into a really dangerous territory here, and I just don't. I really think that it was a bad misstep. I don't like it. I understand if you, if you. There's a company that is building ships and it's a national, you know, something to do with national security. Okay. But let's not conflate the issue. Let's not have people buying, you know, the United States involved with government. Jeff, why? I mean, I'm guessing you probably feel the same way. That's right. Like the government should not be getting involved in the private sector. That's not the government's role.
A
Yeah, you know, I think there's. There's other ways to determine, you know, protecting security assets, you know, like Intel. We need to have chip making here, give them additional incentive to. To build and open factories here in the US I think the most notable precedent would be General Motors when the government stepped in with a massive stake, you know, in, in the government or the government massive stake in General Motors. And, you know, even then it was, you know, kind of. We kind of look at it and, and say, was that the proper role? You know, should General Motors at that point in time been broken up? Were there other, you know, suitors out there that could have taken divisions of. Of General Motors at the time? Because that was a very hectic period when the government stepped in and they made decisions that, you know, kind of crushed certain product line as gm, you know, in a better position today than they were at that point in time. They are up. But who knows what would have happened if we would have let, you know, free market kind of dictate the direction this went? You know, maybe the Hummer. Oh, there's my image again. But maybe the Hummer brand would. Would still be around, you know, as a fully, you know, gas vehicle. Maybe they wouldn't have tried to, you know, spin it off like they did. You know, maybe, you know, Pontiac would still be around. You know, I mean, there's other internal struggles going on within, within General Motors that might have dictated all the different closures. But the point is that government stepped in, took, I think like 60% of General Motors at the time. And people got crushed, you know, because investors got screwed. Invest. Investors got devastated, you know, and so what ended up happening is they take it took. They basically ended the stock, government took A majority share. And then they. They roll out General Motors, you know, maybe like a year later, a newly restructured General Motor. And all of a sudden, you know, there's an IPO and they're. And they're back on the stock exchange. But yet shareholders got devastated. You know, there was a lot of, you know, people that, that were. That were hurt over that. Now, was that, you know, that was a decision. Insurance, mortgage, you know, there, the banks. There was a whole period of time where the government decided to pick winners from losers instead of letting the free market make a dead determination.
B
Yeah, and the shareholders were wiped out. In that 2009 deal, you had the existing shareholders of, you know, the old gm, they basically ended up with like this worthless stock. I mean, what they did was they converted it into shares of a separate entity, which is basically called the Motors Liquidation Company. And so what ended up happening was it's like you got worthless shares and a liquidation company. So pretty much anybody that had any kind of investment in the General Motors stock was completely wiped out. And then the bondholders, on top of that, they had like, maybe minimal recovery. You know, they were unsecured because, remember, it went through the bankruptcy. They invested billions into the General Motors debt, and they only saw like a fraction of what they were owed. It was something like, I don't know, it was a tiny little amount. What they ended up back and a fraction of the original investment. So again, Jeff, you're right on. When you say, like, the market should have worked it out and this whole idea, we're too big to fail. Enough of that. The private sector is set up in such a way. There you go, the balloons. It's set up in such a way that it's supposed to weed out things that don't work. That's just how it works. But the whole idea of people who put a lot of money into a stock market, investors getting wiped out because they were able to just flush that, Flush that down the toilet, it's just not a good thing. And again, I understand this is a smaller stock, it's a different scenario, but I just. It's not a good idea. And it's, you know, all around, I think, just a horrible sort of way to travel. Even Peter Schiff. So I find myself never really agreeing with Peter Schiff, the gold guy.
A
Never.
B
But look at this. He's making a great point. He says the US government taking a 10% stake in intel is not only unconstitutional, it's a bad idea. Trump wasn't hired to run a hedge fund. This is a very bad precedent to set. Well, unfortunately, he's not setting the precedent. It's bad been done multi multiple times.
A
Right?
B
No one, no one complained when Obama did it. Trump wasn't hired to, you know, he says, he says on top of it, it moves our nation further away from free market capitalism. And had Biden done this, Republicans would have been livid. 100 agree with that.
A
But to your point, Obama did do it and nobody said anything.
B
Nobody cares. Like, oh, nobody care gm, you know, then look at this. You got Lutnick over here. Big news. And this is surprising coming from Lutnick, knowing who he is. You know, he's big, private, you know, private, you know, big market dude. He's like, the United States of America is now owns 10% of intel, one of the great American technology companies. This historic agreement strengthens US Leadership and no, it doesn't. Don't do any of that. Thanks to Lip Bhutan, who's there. He is right there, the CEO for striking a deal that's fair to intel and to the American people. Starting to sound like a shakedown, dude. If you're like, well, you know, because you remember Trump criticized Intel just a couple weeks ago, talked about the CEO, he should step down, how bad they were doing. And now it's like, oh, we'll gift you 10% of the company. Oh, okay, everything's cool. We owe now. I'm sorry. Not the role of the government. I mean, it's really rare that something comes up. But I just think it's a, it's, it's a misstep here. And it goes against everything that the right believes in, the Republicans should believe in, which is, you know, the free market. Free markets, man. You know, it's like, you gotta let the market sort of work itself out here. So it's a, it's a very bad idea.
A
That's why Devon is saying if governments don't own anything, then the only way they can raise money is through taxation. If they own a bit of business, then they will at least have income to offset their debt.
B
Incorrect.
A
But as soon as you allow government to own a percentage of companies, then they have a seat at the table. Especially if they're only 10%. That could be, you know, considered one of the largest shareholders of Intel. You know, what other company has larger than 10 ownership in a publicly traded company? You know, so if you start looking at, they have a major seat at the table. And that can be dangerous. You know, where does it end? You know, at that point, where does it end?
B
Diane Right.
A
And we know in China, in China, when companies reach a certain level, the government gets a seat at the table. Not only a seat at the table, but they have ownership stake in, in the company. You know, that's China. So there's other ways to raise it. Doesn't have to be through taxation. Could be through, well, tariff, but I guess, you know, different form of taxation if you want to do, you know, like a fair tax or you know, something like that based on consumption tax.
B
Before the, before the big con of the irs. Internal Revenue Service, why Trump created the External Revenue Service is raising billions of dollars and his whole goal is to wipe out any taxes for anybody making $150,000 a year or less. That's the whole idea. You might get up to 200,000, but this is how the government was funded before they started, you know, because they, they created the Federal Reserve, not federal. And it's not a reserve. It's a third party secret company. Independent, secret, how do I say? Seeker. Because since 1913, there hasn't been an audit. They tell us what the P and L statement looks like, but who the hell knows? I mean, can you imagine, imagine the SEC saying, oh, we don't need to show you our books for over a hundred years. And this is what. Why are we borrowing money from a third party? We're borrowing money when we have the, when Congress, the House has the power to, to mint money, right? They have the creator. They basically gave it to some third party entity that nobody knows anything about. It's a visual vendetta. And then you know what it opens up to? Stuff like this. Where Governor Newsom's office says, all hail Chairman Trump. With his glorious 10% purchase of intel, the socialist Republic of America enters a bold new era of government run business. It opens up, of course, like this.
A
Exactly.
B
But they didn't have a problem with Obama.
A
No, they were no problems at all.
B
So. But it's just, it's like you're just opening yourself up to something for just to be. It's just ridiculous. But look at this. You know what's not ridiculous? Governor DeSantis of Florida just confirmed the red state of Florida will redraw their U. S. Congressional map. He may eliminate the racist VRA district. Republicans stand to gain seats. Gavin did not want to hear this news. And look, Jeff.
A
See, look at that there.
B
Look at that in the blue section.
A
That's. Everything else is freaking dark, dark blue.
B
Look at this.
A
Even Miami is red.
B
It'll happen in the spring and the legislature I fully anticipate we'll produce a revised congressional map, maybe with 29 seats, maybe with the current 28, maybe with the VRA district, maybe eliminating. That said DeSantis, this. It's good, good news, dude. That's good. Welcome news.
A
At any rate, keep moving forward, Any rate.
B
And so you saw that these, it's funny, everybody complained about the. There's no crime in D.C. well, if you don't report stats, there are no crime. If you don't ever have numbers, you fake the numbers, sure. But it's amazing hearing the D.C. residents saying that they would. They were afraid to stop at a red light for getting assaulted. You know, something hitting the windshield. They were going through neighborhoods they couldn't walk. They're scared to take their families. And it's the people who live there that I see everywhere, Jeff, in the, in my feed that they're blowing it up, saying how great it is. Well, guess what? Now he's going into Chicago. Brandon, Mayor Johnson there was on what, what show was he on? Msnbc. There's Ms. Soon to Be Ms. Now or whatever the hell the stupid name is. But listen, when he asked a question about Trump, watch how Mayor Brandon Johnson, look at how, look at how he just freezes up on this. Listen to this clip. Something else President Trump said on Friday with regard to your city. Chicago's a mess. You have an incompetent mayor, grossly incompetent. And we'll straighten that one out, probably. No, this is, this is what I love about Trump, okay?
A
Grossly incompetent.
B
He's grossly incompetent. But he's wearing a. Trump was right about everything. Yeah.
A
I love that hat. That's a great ad.
B
I mean, he's in the Oval Office. He's wearing a. Trump was right about everything. I mean, there's never going to be another Trump man. There's just really never going to be anyone like him.
A
No. Oh, it's the best.
B
He gives zero Fs about anything. He's an incompetent. He's grossly incompetent.
E
And we'll straighten that one out probably next.
B
That'll be our next one after this.
A
And it will, it won't even be tough. Mayor Johnson.
F
Yes.
B
Your reaction to what you just heard, Mayor Johnson?
A
Yes. Yes.
B
Your reaction. I mean, he's like, I don't think he knows what to say. I mean, he's like, just kind of stunned. Yeah.
F
Yeah. Well, listen, you know, the President of the United States of America has repeated this, you know, petulant presentation since he has assumed office. And, you know, if the reporting is actually true, what he is proposing at this point would be the most flagrant violation of our constitution in the 21st century.
B
The city of Jeff. Do you think that's the most flagrant?
A
It's actually not.
B
But not even close. Jeff. Cleaning up a city? Nationalizing. Come on.
F
Chicago does not need a military occupation. That's not what we need. In fact, we've been very clear about what we need. We need to invest in people to ensure that we can build safe and affordable communities. That's what I've done as mayor since assuming office. It's unfortunate that this president is working overtime to divide in his attempt to conquer.
B
Working, says Mr. Division himself. Right.
F
Families. And to conquer cities across America. But this is clearly a violation of the Constitution, and we're going to remain firm and vigilant in our commitment to ensure that our democracy is protected in our.
B
I was like, I can't get through any statement until they start talking about democracy.
A
That's right.
B
We don't live in democracies. Their son. The funny thing is, is, like, you know what happened? I've noticed. I noticed this. When you have guests on a show, you just talking long enough. Throw some buzzwords in there. We've invested heavily in people. It's what we do. It's what I've done as mayor. I've invested in people. What does that mean? What does that mean? I've invested in people. The people are scared to death. People are terrified in Chicago. I mean, the crime is out through the roof. We've invested in people. Okay.
A
At least he's better than Beetlejuice.
B
Well, I don't know if he's. I think he's. I think, in some ways worse than Beetlejuice. To be honest. I think he's actually, you know, in some ways worse. So I don't know. Never want to defend Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Jesus. What's her. What was her name?
A
I don't know. I can't remember.
B
Oh, come on, Jeff. What was her name? Gosh, it's really the tip of my tongue. What was it?
A
That's all I could think of. That's why.
B
Lori Lightfoot. That's what it was.
A
Lightfoot. That's right.
B
Beetlejuice. Scotch. You was so funny when it, like, it showed when she started when she was mayor, and then when she exited, it was like two different people, right? Who is that?
A
I know.
B
I mean, this is. This is insanity, man. The whole thing. I think we should Dive into. Well, you know, it's interesting. We start doing some geopolitics around the world and different things that are going on. If we go over to. We go over to England here.
A
This is funny.
B
Look at this.
A
England.
B
Imagine you're sitting in your, your house, you get a knock on the door by some dude. So the old dude answers the door. Some young kid steps up to the door with some nonsense. This guy's just laughing in his face. This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.
A
Be showing around to everyone.
B
Sorry, sorry. So this guy is a. He's. He knocks on the door and he's offended. He has a St George flag which is like don't tread on me flag here. Right? The England on it. Right. And he's upset that he's displaying it openly in his garden in front of his house. This guy just can't, can't believe it.
A
What we want to be showing around to everyone.
B
Sorry, sorry. I'm not, I'm not laughing at you. But you're worried about the English flag in the English country gardens.
A
Well, yeah, it's offensive.
B
Our flag can be offensive in England. Yeah.
A
There's plenty of people in this neighborhood who, who would take offense to that. Just being up right now.
B
Are you being. Having a laugh or something? Where do you live? Where do you live?
A
I'm from England, man. But there you go.
B
There's your flag.
A
No, seriously, it's not the 1950s anymore, mate.
E
We can't be having the England flag.
B
And I'm not Alf Garnet either. But that's my flag and this is my country and this is my garden. I'll put up what I like. That's my flag.
A
They're so friendly. Could you imagine if that was in the US.
B
Got three shots. The caps at his ass, man.
A
Exactly.
B
Right in his ass. I was like, dude, gee, you're right, Jeff. That's very. He's. He thinks it's offensive, right?
A
So this is my God.
B
He goes, it's my garden. It's my house.
A
Way too polite.
B
My country, my flag. What's the problem? I don't get it.
A
Exactly.
B
So listen what they're chanting. Look, there's going to be a revolution there. I'm pretty sure it might be revolution. If things keep escalating.
A
You gotta have not.
B
It's not going to end with protests. People are pissed. They're sick and tired of, you know, their, their, their, their, you know, pre teenage daughters getting raped. Nothing happened. No accountability. And because they want, people want to yell racism. How about you just like collapse in London and throw them into jail. How about you just do that? How about you not try to give somebody off because you're afraid you're gonna. Racism. Look, I mean, you break the lie. That's. It should be the same for.
A
How about taking back London?
B
Oh, yeah, look at this.
A
Why are there no go zones in London?
B
They're yelling.
A
I love it. I love how they start singing.
B
You.
A
You could be at a football match right there. They got this name too.
B
No, Jeff, I saw this.
A
And they can chant. They can chant better than anybody I know.
B
So Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, who Trump calls a very bad guy.
A
Still around. Can't believe that guy still.
B
He is so obviously this is a joke, but it's borderline because you're like, I don't know. It is a joke. It is. This is parody. But look at this. This is. You just watch this. He's. He wanted visibility. Officers wanted to be more visible to help people that are having problems getting knifed and, you know, in the, in the streets. So this is what. This is it.
A
Since being established last month, the mobile police station in Stratford has given the public direct face to face contact with officers and help police to bear down on robbery and thefts in this busy part of town.
B
So at the moment, we've got four in each part of London to be able to do three things. One is high visibility to try and reduce crime and disorder. Second thing is around crime prevention is extremely safe. One of the most safest cities in the world. No, dude, no. I mean, I saw that. Got the burkas on, dude. High visibility, bright yellow. Obviously they put that from somewhere. That's not it. But, you know, it's. Parody's hard to tell sometimes these days. It really is a fine line to know if it's real or if it's like just a joke, but obviously that was parody. But just to go show you now, if we jettison over to Australia, listen to this Aussie girl here give her rundown and an account of Trump and how she. What she thinks from an Australian perspective.
C
G', day, legends. I've just woken up from the nap and as you can see, I'm super happy and I'm very, very energized. I'm going to go mop the floors in a minute anyway. Trump haters.
B
She's so excited about the floors. I'm sorry. So excited. I'm gonna mop the floors in a minute. Look at how excited she is, man.
C
Let's, let's you know, have a chat. Okay, I have some questions. I have some questions. Why do you hate him so much? Still? I don't understand. Like us in Australia, we're seeing what's going on over there. And we're so jealous of you guys for having such a great president like that. We really are. We would do anything to have him come over here and clean up our government, make them honest, clean up our streets, okay? Get crime off the streets. And yet you left mob. It doesn't matter what good he does, you're still having tanties like your 2 year old sucking on your mama's tits. Like, seriously, I don't understand. I don't understand what's going on in the noggins. Like, I was just watching a TikTok video of, of this guy driving, cruising around in his neighborhood in the good old capital and he's like ecstatic because it's finally safe again. No criminals on the streets. There's no junk and trash left around on the floors anywhere. It's, you know, crystal clear. It's all pristine and beautiful again and safe. And yet you see people coming out when the police are coming to arrest people for the, you know, dealing drugs and shit like that. You know, things that police should be arresting people for. And you're still seeing left lefties come out on their megaphones shouting at the police, saying, go away.
B
All right?
C
Looking like a person who belongs in a mental institution.
B
That's it. Mental disorder.
C
And I'm having a go at police for doing their job. Like, what the is going on, mate? Like just, just what is it? What is it with you lot? You've always got something to complain about, okay? It's driving me bonkers, okay? We would do anything to have a president that is like, main goal is to clean up all the crap, to clean up crime, to clean up the government, make them honest, to clean up the streets, to send people who are fucking invading your country, who shouldn't be there back to where they came from. Do you know what's going on in Australia at the moment? It is. We're cooked. We would do anything to have your president. We really would. Like our country is getting okay. We have the shittest government in the world right now. And have you seen what's happening in the uk?
B
Yeah, they're getting taken over. We just played it. You should look beyond we did.
C
We just see what else is happening in, in other countries and you realize how lucky you are.
E
I know, right?
A
Can you believe this?
C
Hate me in the comments, improve my algorithms did you say hate me in the comments, but hated tissues in?
B
I'm surprised as they didn't break the door down or take her away for posting in my bio.
C
No, I really do. For all your salty tears and your hateful comments. Go check it out.
B
Please tell me who she is.
A
Oh, she'd be awesome to have on the show.
B
I don't know who she is because, you know, somebody posts a video times.
A
Oh, someone posted her video Original.
B
It wasn't her video. And this is the whole thing. Like, I never know who posted it.
A
How do you even track it down, the original, after it gets forwarded so many times?
B
I don't know. That's the whole thing. It's like if somebody knows who she is. Steve. Steve Willis lives there. He ought to know.
A
Steve would know.
B
Steve, you live in Australia, small country, of course, you know, not that big of a country. You live there, don't you? Come on, man. You should. Come on. Put. Put the word out, man. Report back. We need. We need. So we need to know. But she's fantastic, man.
A
Yeah.
C
Tell me why you hate him so much when he's doing so much good.
A
Oh, that's right. The King is over there. Between all the. Between all the Australians that we have that are. Are watching the show. Someone's got to be able to track her down to figure out who she is. Love her lingual artistry.
B
It's quite good, isn't it?
A
Yeah.
B
He's like, yeah, sure.
A
She's my store neighbor, 500 kilometers away.
B
That's what I love. It's like, you know people. I tell people I grew up in New York, and they go, oh, do you know so and so? I'm like, yeah, weird. I know them. You do? I'm like, come on, dude. No, I don't know. 22 million people live in freaking New York State. 22 million people live in New York State. Yeah, I know that person. Right? Sure.

Bob Moneybags disappears, and he comes back every once in a while. It's good. Jeff, I need. Listen, I'm gonna watch you watch this Clip. I want you. Feel free to take notes, but I want you to report back at the end of the clip.
A
Take my notes. Okay?
B
What she said. I want you to listen intently because I'm going to ask you at the end of the clip to in. To interpret what she said because I've watched this like three times and I don't have a clue.
A
All right, here we go.
B
Are you ready? Same for you. Same for everybody. Let's go. Ready? Let's go.
G
I'm scout. I use they, them, pronouns. And I'm an interdisciplinary major at ubc. I'm in my last semester. My primary thematic focus is decolonizing academia and public knowledge system systems. And my secondary thematic focus is biocultural and linguistic futurity for those.
B
I have no idea what she's talking about.
A
Please, you know what she's talking about?
B
No.
A
Her Future career at McDonald's.
B
Okay. All right. I was. I was really trying. Maybe, maybe, maybe. I don't know if she has the work ethics.
A
No, I don't think so.
B
She's sitting down. She doesn't seem to be moving around too much here.
A
No, no mobility there. It's not working at. Working at McDonald's requires stand up and work. She'll be in the looney.
B
She's a slug. She's saying she's crazy. One hashtag explains all this. You know what it is, Jeff?
A
Oh, God.
B
You know it. One, one. Just one hashtag. You know what it is?
A
What is it? Which one Hashtag is a mental disorder.
B
That's it. All right, let's listen to the rest of this. See if you can make out the rest of this. Those who don't know what that means. Can you give us a quick rundown? Yeah. This is what I thought. I go, great. Thank you for asking that, because I was having the same problem. I wasn't sure what she was saying either. But let's listen, then she can clarify this for us. Jeff.
G
Basically what I focus on is the promises that the institution has made and all. Also the emergence of indigenous ways of knowing and being across the disciplines. And I.
B
What she. Listen to this. This is the great she. I don't know what that means. This is craziest thing I've ever heard.
A
She looks like a professor.
B
Yeah, yeah. This is what she focuses on. Listen to this.
G
I focus on is the promises that the institution has made and also the emergence of a new indigenous ways of knowing.
A
Indigenous ways of ways across the disciplines and what disciplines.
G
I feature in a lot of language revitalization.
B
Language.
A
Language Revitalization.
B
You have no job with language. Revitalization.
G
Urgent vitality of languages, rather. And just kind of just try to use a bunch of stuff. I've taken courses in over 20 departments, so.
B
Okay, yeah, awesome. He says, awesome.
A
20 departments.
B
Do you want to know what I.
A
Taking courses in 20 departments when he says never graduating, you know what he's.
G
Thinking for 20 departments, so.
B
Okay, yeah, awesome. Let me translate. You're a nut job. I gotta go. I have no idea what you're talking about. The knowing and being. I don't know what this means. Can you give us a quick rundown? Yeah.
G
Basically what I focus on is the promises that the.
B
The institute, Jeff, if sometime next somebody asks you a question to say, what I focus on is a promotion has made.
G
And also the emergence of indigenous.
B
The emergence of indigenous ways of knowing and being. Of knowing and being. What the hell is she talking about? This is why this woke crowd is just not going to make it, dude. They're not going to make it. They can't enjoy painting back your student.
A
Loan because you are just putting a lot of work.
B
You are absolutely 100 screwed. I have no idea what she's going to do in life, Jeff.
A
Absolutely.
B
I don't think she knows what she's gonna do.
A
Absolutely.
B
But listen to this. We got more. Wait, but wait, there's more. Okay, so if you're walking down the.
A
Street, indigenous culture is undisciplined by traditional tribal values.
B
Listen to this. If you're walking down the streets of New York and you ask a question about. Between. About Mandami and you get. You run into a classic liberal. This is what you get, Jeff. This is just the kind of interview.
E
You get guys think is a bigger threat. Trump girl or mom Donnie?
G
Probably Trump girl.
E
Yeah. Why?
G
Because she stands for all that Trump stuff.
E
What's all that?
G
All that yucky, yucky, scary, yucky, racist Trump stuff.
E
And what do you like about this dude?
G
You know, he, he stands for the opposite.
E
Yeah, what do you like about.
B
Wait, this dude she's pointing to is Mandami. Okay. And then there's Trump girl with the Trump hat on. Right, right. Who's worse? You know, all that ugly Trump stuff. Racist stuff. You know, this dude, you know, he.
G
He stands for the opposite. At least based on what I've heard.
B
She's bit. This girl doesn't have a clue.
E
Definitely does. One stands for capitalism, free markets, less government, and the other one stands for socialism. More government down.
G
Yeah, for sure.
B
So you're.
E
You like socialism?
G
Yeah.
C
Yeah.
B
All Right.
E
Where has socialism worked?
B
You know?
A
You know.
G
I just put together what's going on.
E
What's going on?
B
She put together what's going on. Yeah, you look like a complete. Because you are a complete. You can't answer one question.
G
No, no, I got it, Got it, got it.
E
I was making a video. Where is socialism worked?
G
Well, honestly, I don't know enough to be able to answer that question, but I. Venezuela.
B
How are they doing?
C
I.
G
You know, I can't say that I've read much about Venezuela recently. Yeah.
A
That look. Look at the look, the crazy eyes look. He's giving her Cuba. She's like this.
B
She says Cuba, and then this girl jumps in. This is great, Jeff. This is fantastic.
G
Who do you think is more for gay people?
B
His.
G
His supporters are Trump supporters. Definitely the Mandani supporters.
B
He came out in support of LGBT.
G
People, but his supporters. His supporters tried to cancel him for that.
B
Did you know that?
G
Certainly not me. And I'm one of him.
B
I'm.
G
I'm all for mom D. What's your favorite?
B
Yeah, let me explain what Muslims do to the. The gay community. They throw them from a building and they survived and they stone them. So good luck with. With that.
A
Good luck with that Jesus policy of his.
G
You know, I don't know enough. You're a supporter and you don't know his poly supporter.
A
I always say I don't know enough. I never studied.
B
Why did you comment on. You knew. You knew in the beginning of the interview.
G
I'm like just a sort of a.
B
General, like, go getter, like, getting rid of all gay people.
E
And you didn't know that.
G
Well, that'd be crazy. But I would probably hear about that one. But I appreciate you guys.
E
Would you support him then? He is a Muslim. You guys just keep saying that.
B
This girl's great. She took her apart pretty well. Where is it worth, you know, I don't know enough about that. My God. Yeah.
A
Oh, my God.
B
I like her. These people are funny. It's just great. Where has it worked? I just want to, like, play all of her stuff. 50 shift was on, you know, pencil neck. You know how Trump calls him pencil neck? He was on a show the other.
A
Day, stands up to the President. Anyone who criticizes, anyone who says anything.
B
Adverse the president's interests gets the full weight of the federal government. Probably watching. Somebody took his neck and extended. If you're watching. If you're listening on the podcast, down on them.
A
It's a funny video.
B
They don't call him pencil neck for for no reason, Jeff. That's. There's a whole reason to the. The whole thing.
A
That's the real reason.
B
And this guy I like the best here. I'll play this guy before you do the drawing, but this guy talks about Gavin Newsome. This is, this.
A
I don't know if you watch Gavin Gruesome.
B
Yeah.
H
Understand the lack of self awareness that's required to be the governor of California and, and post this on X about how electricity prices have gone up 10% since January. Evan, you. You are the governor and have been the governor for the last six years of the state with the second highest utility cost in the nation. Bro, how do you have this little self awareness?
E
How the.
H
Do you try to talk shit to the president about something that you are the second worst at in the country? How the fuck does that happen, bro? The only place more expensive for power than your state is Hawaii, an island in the middle of the Pacific. Of all the states connected to the US power grid, you are by far the most expensive. Your utility rates are insane. And not only are your rates fucking nuts, but you also have time of day billing where you basically fixed it so when people are home after work, you get to charge them more for just running their air condition. You also have rolling blackouts. Like, bro, how the fuck do you post this? How do you post this and not go, ah, this might backfire, bro, look, I'm. I'm beginning to think that you shouldn't run for president not because you're a terrible governor, but because you might be too stupid to hold the office.
A
Oh my God, no.
B
Self awareness.
A
Oh my God.
B
I love blaming Trump that energy prices went up in his state. God almighty, Jeff. I don't know who's running that over there and why. Has always warned me.
A
Yeah, yeah, that's right. Why is another one sober?
B
Although my double standard tells me off when the hands of a thief. Thief. All right, there we go. The one thing comes off is.
A
And Cali still cheaper than the uk.
B
Yeah, that's the weird part, man.
A
Still net zero will destroy. Destroy the UK and everybody destroying Germany.
B
On top of it. Wish we had some more about Germany. I wish we had more to play about that.
A
So Enron. Yes, that's right.
B
Yeah. This guy bought a lot of Enron the day before it died right here I was hearing buzzing. I thought things are going where there's a lot of buzz around it. It wasn't good buzz.
A
It was going someplace.
B
Went down to pennies. I lost everything. Lost it all, Jeff. There's 13 people in here, guys, we need more people. We're gonna play the song and then we're gonna go.
A
We're gonna play the song and we're gonna get to 20, guys, type in at least 18. Here we go. Some people haven't heard the song.
B
Wait a minute before you play that.
A
All right.
B
Trump moving towards Venezuela. People in South America are happy. They are happy with that, but that's another slippery slope. Let's put it that way. That's a slippery slope.
A
But stuff has to happen in Venezuela. Gotta clean up.
B
Yeah, there is a lot of stuff that needs to get cleaned up there. Well, it's happening in Mexico. Where? The. One of the centers in Mexico. I'm really worried about her safety because she came out and said that it's a great thing that Trump's going to go and take down the, you know, the bad guys.
A
And.
B
And she shine bomb. The president there was pissed at her, saying she was a traitor and that, you know, the government can take care of it. She's like, I'm glad that, you know, at least President Trump's gonna, you know, clean it up. Everyone wants him to come and clean stuff up. That's nice.
A
All over the world. All over the world.
B
Go ahead and play it, Jeff. Let's.

Calvin Klein said being morbidly obese was cool. Then Nike used a man and leggings to sell women's clothes. They must think we're fools. Go, go broker. That's what they say. Try selling folks what they don't want, you'll find there's hell to pay. If you ask me, you should keep your politics to yourself and we'll both have a better day. Greedy banks lecturing me about di. Are they for real? And some whack jobs named Benny and Jerry want me to boycott Israel. It's enough to make you reach for beer, but bud's woke too. Next they'll call it the queen of beers. Guess this Bud ain't for you. Go, Woke, go, bro. Different company, different day. Sell liberal insanity and you'll see that business plan don't pay Best Foods don't want your opinions on Trump.

It's gone down and it's gone down. That blue light beer is worse than Ginsburg. It's horrible. That's what I always. I always called it. If someone ever offered me a bot, I'd be like, no, thank you. They're like, you don't drink beer. I'm like, I don't drink that beer. They go, why not? You don't like the flavor? Come on, suck it up. I'm like, I said, if I wanted a headache, I'd go out binge drinking for three nights in a row if I wanted to wake up that. But you have. You're not even halfway through it and your head's pounding like someone hit you over the head with a hammer. It's that bad. What's that song called? I don't know. It's called the woke song. I don't know. I found it on. I'll tell you what, Steve Davon, here's what you do. You subscribe, go to on the chain.com, i'm sorry, IO and you subscribe to the list and then you will get. We put all of the things we talk about, you get an email to it. But if you want to know what it's specifically called, you can go right here and you can see it all yourself. And I'll put that up there. But if you go to the website, you will see on the chain IO, which I will copy and paste into the comments right there. But if you come down here, you'll see the last show. And for example, if you click on that, you can. Where you listen to show, there's the video, there's the winner from the show, the one who won. And there you go. The articles we discuss, all the things we kind of run through.
A
And we see.
