Throw a video over there. Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here with co host Chip. What is going on, Everybody out there in the on the Chain world. What's going on, Chip? It's been like 8 years since I've been here.
Chip
At least 8 shows. At least 8 shows.
Jeff
At Least 8 shows. I don't know about 8 years, but at least 8 shows. It's good to be back. We got a lot of stuff we want to dig into. We got to talk about Codius. Is it Ripple? Is Ripple the one bringing back Codius? Who invented Codius? Where did it even come from? Who invents all these amazing little ones and zero apps and programs and things like that that are appearing out there on the inner ledger? We're going to talk about that. It's really important. We got to distinguish. There's some really amazing times ahead. A lot of great things that are happening. And when you see projects like Codius, kind of all of a sudden, you know, the. The guy behind it, we're going to talk about him a little bit and we're going to share a little bit of default Stefan Thomas. There's some really interesting points, Chip, that we got to go over in relation to Codius, see if it actually is coming back. Maybe yes, maybe no. We'll talk about that soon. And is New York going to Trump? Trump 2024.
Chip
Let's go. Welcome to on the Chain. Welcome to on the Chain. I see people pop in here right now. Call our scholar. Evening, guys. B Max in the house. Welcome, Jeff. Greetings from celebration. Welcome back, Jeff.
Jeff
Welcome back.
Chip
Yeah, they have eight shows of me, man. Non stop. Non stop.
Jeff
Eight shows, man. The time zone just wasn't meshing up.
Chip
Yeah, well, I don't think it would. I don't think you would enjoy doing it two in the morning. Although we do have fans that are. Watch it. That late.
Jeff
I do watch it. It's amazing. Yeah, there's people tuning in right now. It would have been really late and then I was going to try to tune in yesterday but wasn't able to do that. Fortunately.
Chip
Midair Brisbane in the House. Michael.
Jeff
The weekend meetup Group Brisbane, Australia. Look at that.
Chip
That's right. Yes, that's right. Always worth the wheat. There you are. Yeah, it's been. Well, I mean, it was. What you missed was the two. We did two of the d. We did the live stream parties with Deaton. That was a lot of fun. Just destroyed. I mean, it's. It was. It was bad. I mean, he just destroyed her. And I Don't know what's going on with, with the voters in Massachusetts. I don't know if they're brain dead, but I don't know how you can't vote for Deaton after watching those two. Maybe, who knows who watched them, but she's just a poor performance. She thought she was just going to go in there. John Deaton brought receipts and totally destroyed her. I mean, it was just an incredible performance. I really, absolutely loved it. Hey. Hey, guys. Good to see slacker Jeff back in the saddle. Says Jim. Da. What are you? Slacker. Dropped off my ballot today for Trump and az. Oh yeah, I voted yesterday for Trump, so best voting experience of my life. In and out in 10 minutes. Zip in, zip out, wife and I and out. Done. It was great.
Jeff
Did our absentee ballot vote right before we left. This is good. We got that out. It was received, it was recorded.
Chip
Beautiful.
Jeff
Florida's going to Trump.
Chip
Yeah, I think a lot of states are going to Trump. I don't even know about New York, but they had 90. I was record attendance Madison Square Garden today. 94, 000 people in tow. And then they had another hundred thousand people outside. They couldn't get in. So this is amazing.
Jeff
Really, it's, it's really impressive. You know, things, things have changed drastically. The tide has definitely turned. The silent majority has finally woken up. So going early, going to get early voting tomorrow. There you go.
Chip
Yeah, I got to do it early.
Jeff
So do it early.
Chip
Do it often that I saw here. So there was a. Let's play this little clip right here first.
Jeff
Something's going on. And one.
Chip
So this was, this was the FM podcast and this is a little clip that someone had put out there. Sorry, I don't know your name because I grabbed the video, but the title was Reimagined Global Payments with the creators of Inner Ledger. And of course that's Stefan, Tomas and, and Evan Schwartz, the two guys who created the Interledger. And watch what he says here. This is interesting.
Jeff
Some, some things going on. And one of those things is new version of Codius.
Chip
So new version of Codius. I don't want to say too much.
Jeff
Yet because it obviously still very early days.
Stefan Thomas
Very awesome.
Chip
So early days. He let the cat out of the bag. He's working back at Codius. It was Ripple, rolled it out. And what year was that? 2014, Jeff.
Jeff
2014.
Chip
Yeah. Then they shelled it, but then it got shelved in 2018. And this was a smart contracts platform that honestly should never have been shelved. Should have threw A lot of money at it and got some smart people working on it. Unfortunately that's not what happened. There's been a bunch of misteps and miscues by, by Ripple & Co. But again I get you don't have it as a priority but you could throw some money at it and then have some people and at the time Stefan Tomas was working at Coil, Coil was just a little bit too far. It was before its time. It was a micro payments platform. The idea was that for five or ten dollar subscription a lot of publications which have paywalls, you could, you could eliminate that sort of paywall by doing those like it would stream if you watched it for five minutes. It would stream micropayments for five minutes if you were watching. And by the way, I mean we, we had the plug in, we had a lot of Coil, we had a lot of Coil subscribers that would come in here and watch this and at the end of the show we'd have two or three xrp. It's not a lot but the point is it demonstrated the fact that hey, it was a really nice way to. Somebody was supporting the ecosystem and it also supported the show. And over a period of a couple years, you know it, we, we ended up with a couple XRP which was, you know, kind of cool within itself. Was nice to see that sort of play out. Coil also rolled out some blogs by the way, I earned 5, 5000, 5500 I think it was XRP just writing blog posts and having people like it.
Jeff
Yeah, that was impressive. Really impressive how that worked out. And if you look here, this was, this was Codius. This is what they originally had conceived of. Right. Fast when I run make it secure, no code restrictions which was really important. Right. Use any programming language which was key at that time. Built in payments and look at that. Codius can talk to anything connected to the Internet. It was a really great, it was a really, really great idea. You know initially look at peer to peer hosting, decentralized apps, smart contracts. Then they shelved it and killed it. But at the time this wasn't their primary focus. And if you think about Ethereum hadn't really, you know, is just in its infancy, just getting out the door. And that's why Stefan Thomas was like this is something we got to look at, got to do the smart contract thing. Really, it's crazy. Yeah, it was a. I think this was probably one of the biggest missteps that they had made because regardless of how things rolled forward, if you look at, with Ripple even With their Ripplenet solution, smart contracts could have really become a major part of what they were doing, what they were working on. And so, but they were just so hyper focused on big institution and you know, rolling out, you know, banking software versus looking at the full picture. Whereas Vitalik, Ethereum, they fell into that, into that spot. First mover advantage. Smart contracts becomes a big thing. Using the Ethereum network to roll out and build other projects on it. And here we are, you know, all these years later, 10, 10 years later, and now they're talking about, you know, trying to figure it out, still trying.
Chip
To figure out 50 cents. There you go. That's, that's the culmination of a bunch of brain power. And before and Stefan Tomas was the, he was the former cto. That's when Schwartz, when he left to go do Coil, that's when Schwartz sort of stepped in. But this guy Max Avery put out some stuff, a nice little Twitter or a next thread here. He said he's announced he's working on a version of Codius. Huge for the XRP ledger and ecosystem. Here's why it's a big deal. Codius, an open source hosting platform for smart contracts, aims to revolutionize decentralized app development by providing a more flexible and scalable approach compared to traditional blockchain platforms. Decentralized hosting, run programs on multiple hosts, create a peer to peer network for services built in billing programs can pay for their own operation. Then language flexibility, which you talked a little bit about, which is writing contracts in popular languages like Java, C and there's some other ones, it's pretty like agnostic when it comes to that. And so why is it significant for the XRP ledger? Mostly because of off chain smart contracts execution. Codius can process contracts off ledger and it reduces the load on the XRP ledger and maintains a high transaction speed. And if you think about it, Jeff, this is like what we've been going through that, you know, David Schwartz didn't want to have it on the L1, didn't want to have it on the layer one. And then we went over to, you know, we had his, which is, you know, which is, you know, not on the layer one, I don't know what you call sidechain, whatever. And then now this was a revolutionary and it really would have been phenomenal had they been able to figure out and get it out there. Cross ledger capabilities interact with multiple blockchains simultaneously. Like where the mindset for this back in 2014 was so good 10 years ago. Yeah, they just missed it. They just blew it altogether. Now there's a chance it can come back and this is what's really great to see if it will Jeff but see the agnostic approach enhances versatility and enables complex decentralized apps and cross chain operations and history of code as announced in 2014 to create a platform for smart contract applications using hosting vendors instead of decentralized network. Fun fact. Vitalik Buterin, founder of Ethereum, was involved in early discussions with Stefan Thomas. He was actually, he was actually couch surfing he would, he was crashing at Stefan Thomas's place. He and it turned out what this was. The funny thing imagine if Vitalik Buterin did get a visa and came work for Ripple as a, as an intern. He doesn't get in. He ends up going to found Ethereum and the rest is history. Codius bridges the gap between decentralized benefits and practical hosting infrastructure while allowing developers to write contracts in various language, interact with the external data sources and it makes smart contracts more accessible. Really revolutionary stuff in 2014. By offloading the computation heavy tasks to Codius, the XRP ledger can handle the additional tasks without increasing its computational burden. This separation allows the XRP ledger to maintain and even improve its transaction. And this is really what Schwartz was getting at when he said yes, smart contracts are important, but we can't have them on the L1. He was really worried about performance and you know where that might end up which, which rightfully so. And it's probably great that he pushed back on that. Interoperability is key. It allowed its smart smart contracts to interact with other blockchains, other traditional payment networks. It helped to facilitate smoother connections with the Internet of Value vision that you know, hear Garlinghouse talk about a lot and also increase the flow on the XRP ledger. As a key intermediary, Codius would enable microtransaction use cases along industries like content monetization, which obviously that was what Coil was took that one little use case and basically attempted to start a whole new business out of it. And with smart contract logic handed off chain would drive more transactions through the XRP ledger and the idea was it would go ahead and boost its utility. And because it's language agnostic developers could use secure efficient programming languages for their contracts, leading to more innovative apps. It also attract more developers to the XRP ecosystem which would have been key. However, it's interesting to see if that'll happen now given all the choices out there. Codius enhances XRP ledger ecosystem by providing off chain smart contract execution and increasing the XRP's transaction per second, opening up new use cases through interoperability. Bottom line, Jeff, it was a fantastic opportunity.
Jeff
It was a great idea 10 years ago. If they roll it out, let's hope it's a massive, massive rollout with a huge amount of money behind it to attract a lot of users really, really fast. Because otherwise this is where they should be putting their focus and attention, that they should be looking at a project like Flare and say, hey, you guys are going to be using the xrpl. You guys are already cross chain. You guys are doing some amazing things. You guys already. There's already a way to build on Flare. You can use Flare. It has a mat, it's has a growing ecosystem. It's already been around for a while now. If you roll out Codius, think about how long it's taken Flare to get to where it is now, where it's starting to have some semblance of relevancy in the ecosystem and it's gaining momentum on a continuous basis. You know, there's, it just, it's amazing to see where Flare's at finally, at this point. But are they still, are they anywhere near competitive with Ethereum? Probably not yet, but then you have Stefan Thomas. Is he gonna take money from, is there ripple money available to him? Like, you know, if you thought, like you had mentioned Coil, how much money did they put behind Coil into a, into that failed project? Because it just disappeared into the, into the ecosystem, you know, and so here's another, here's another big one. There are all these projects that are out there, and we had talked about this before, not a lot of money available to these developers from within, within the networks. That's where the, the focus has to be. Let's hope Codius can get to where it has to be. That's kind of exciting. It's, it's, it's interesting. But Flare exists, right? Why, why not try to figure out a way to motivate and, and push Flare within the ecosystem? You know, that, that's it. I mean, you could, there's not nothing wrong with having competition, nothing wrong with building the, the ecosystem. But 10 years, I mean, it was a project from 10 years ago. You know, I get it. You know, it's exciting. That's why we're talking about it. Because you can stimulate. Ten years ago was exciting. Now I'm not so excited. I'm not as excited about it right now as I would have been 10 years ago. Because Flare exists, you know, and it's taken flair a number of years to get.
Chip
One thing you missed, right? Here's what you missed. We talked about this yesterday. Flare introduced a blockchain machine images. You could basically launch this on Google Cloud Marketplace. So you can get like a really quick full node up and running. And Instead of paying two grand, it's like runs about 300 bucks a month. So it's super easy for devs to run up, spin something like this up, spin up a node and start working. It's compatible with 20 plus networks, including the XRPL, Bitcoin, Ethereum. Right. So along those same principles. And then you even have Ripple X where it was promoting it. The quick node setup for XRPL is there now. They didn't create it, but Flare created it. Right. So there you have it right there. I thought that was pretty interesting. So something else that happened. This happened a couple days ago, but. And I posted about it and talk about, talk about ridiculous. But. So there's a brand new. So Fox Business has a new crypto show, right, Jeff? And of course you can count on Fox Business to put the least qualified person to host it. Now, I like Sean Duffy, former member of Congress. I remember watching Sean Duffy on Real World. He was on Real World, like the second or third season on there with somebody named Rachel. And he ended up. They ended up getting married and having like seven kids. Okay, six kids. I don't know. Rachel, she was, she was. She did a lot of Fox and Friends. I like Sean a lot. He's a good dude. He was, you know, he left. He's no longer in Congress. But, you know, I just don't think. When you think about the person that should have been doing this show should have been Ellie Tarrant, right? She's really proven herself. And then look, you know, it's like, it sounds like, you know, it's. This was like his first show check out tonight. I didn't watch the show, but. But John Deaton tweeted this out on. Posted this on actually goes. I hope that Ellie Tarra, it's part of this show. She's one of the few journalists reporting on issues involving not just big industry players, But Coinbase, Kraken, A16Z, Ripple, etc, but involving retail investors, users, token holders, hopefully the show adds that perspective. And I admit, and I had also said something along the lines of like. Yeah, like what? Like, and everybody, by the way, if you look in, if you look down here, you're gonna see everybody just going off about. There it is right there. La Tarrett should be the obvious choice. She's proven her skills repeatedly, you know. Glad to see more crypto coverage, everybody. Ellie Tarot needs to be on this show. Well, yeah, Ellie, who's is Ellie Territ hosting this? Somebody at Fox Business. These are mental faculties checked. Like you can just see everybody weighing in here is saying the show needs Ali Terrett. Come on.
Jeff
It's amazing what, you know, just bad decision making there is out there. But Patrick Hillman saying, love this Sean Duffy no back. I mean he might be good, but bring in Eleanor Terret. That I like Sean.
Chip
John Duffy's a good dude. I mean, I like what he did in Congress. I like the voice. He's not the right guy to host his show. Okay. He doesn't know much about crypto. The person knows a lot about crypto and proved herself. I mean, you know, you could argue that, that Gasparino would be a better choice. He's more steeped in the crypto side. There's a lot of people who'd be better hosts for this.
Jeff
Gensler. He would be perfect. Actually.
Chip
There was a security in the show's time.
Jeff
End of show. That's it.
Chip
Crypto security.
Jeff
How many seasons, how many seasons are the, is the show gonna last? I don't know, about five seconds.
Chip
Yeah. Then he closes the book and he goes, that's all we got for tonight.
Jeff
That's all we got, period.
Chip
See you later, suckers. No better person to host it. There is a better person to host it. There definitely is a better person to respect Ellie Terry. Right? So it's. Yeah. Where's Ellie Terror? Everybody in here like, can you imagine, like looking at this? Do you think they're like, they, they. And you know, I mean the funny thing was the first podcast that Ellie Terra did was ours. You know, she did our podcast was really gracious enough to come on here three years ago. She came out here right when she was starting her crypto journey. But she earned it. She wrote the hands down best article about the whole ripple saga. I mean she, she had the best reporting. She's got the best up to date reporting. What's going on. It's. She's a, it's a waste of talent. I understand that she's a producer, but she's also proven that she can go on camera and deliver as well. I just don't understand why she's not part of the show or have her as a correspondent or have her as really more.
Jeff
Maybe they will though. We don't, we don't know what they're going to do yet. Let's See, maybe they bring her in.
Chip
She'S not going to be part of it.
Jeff
See how it goes.
Chip
Yeah, there's a lot on here. It was like it was just non stop mainstream.
Jeff
Yeah, mainstream is just jumping in, trying to stay relevant with the, with the sign of the times, the topics, all that good stuff.
Chip
Jeff, with the upcoming election here. I saw this headline today and I was like, whoa. Democrats warn it may take at least four years to count the ballots first. That's a battle on B article.
Jeff
Unfortunately. Unfortunately there's a little bit of truth to it.
Chip
What you also missed was the Smith dinner with, with, with Trump cracking jokes. That was, that was awesome too.
Jeff
Oh, that was good. I saw it actually. That was good.
Chip
And then you had like somebody. Then you had Harris bring back a Saturday life character to just like, just make fun of Catholics. It was a bad look, man. It was like, it was a horrible like spit in your face moment. Sort of a crappy sort of a thing. I mean, what a, what a, what a rip that was. And so the newest thing that the left has, Jeff, is they have this thing where they're talking about Madison Square Garden event happening today. All day today. There was 94,000 people, record attendance, 100,000 people on the outside in New York City, the heart of New York City. And all the Democrats can tell you about is it's eerily symbol similar to the 1934 appearance of the Nazis at Madison Square Garden. Forget the fact that JFK spoke there. No, don't worry about that. And so the Hodge twins put this up. I thought this was good. Never seen a Nazi rally with Jews, blacks and Hindus as speakers. So what? This is quite the Nazi rally right here, isn't it? I mean, geez, what a great Nazi rally. This is, you know, I mean, amazing to me. It's unbelievable. Geez. I mean these Nazis, man, they're crazy. And that was when you know, that's all they got.
Jeff
That's all they have.
Chip
JV hosted, co hosted one time and he was telling me in the comments they're always calling him a white supremacist. I'm like, right. How are you calling. He's, he's like, they're calling me a white supremacist all the time. I'm like, what? He goes, yeah. I go, they know you're not white, right? He goes, doesn't matter. It just calls him that. Anyway, so then one time, Sean, Sean Thompson, he, he co hosted. He was great host. We had a lot of fun too. And man, I feel like you've been gone for, like, three months, dude. It's been. It's been a while.
Jeff
It's crazy. A lot's happened in the past.
Chip
Been some sort of a thing there, man. I mean, geez. Yeah, I put this up. I was like, you know, the left is basically pathetic. When you have a candidate who destroyed the economy, yelling Nazis. Really all you have left. And so you run it. If you run a campaign on We Hate the Other dude, that doesn't tell people a lot of what you're going to do. And when you have the chance to say it on the View and then Colbert and then, I don't know, she was somewhere else. Where you get asked, what would you do different? She goes, can't think of anything. Okay, so what do we. What are we going into a new frontier? And what's this new page we're turning to?
Jeff
Right, that was crazy. The. The questions. What would you do different?
Chip
Yeah, like, apparently.
Jeff
What was one. What was one mistake that they made? Oh, I've made lots of mistakes. Well, name one of them.
Chip
Well, she did the.
Jeff
She doesn't name any of them.
Chip
She did Michael from the office, where he said my. Something like, my. You know, my strengths are. My weaknesses are my strengths.
Jeff
Right? That's what it was much about people.
Chip
It's like. It was like, exactly right from the office. Mediocre and absolutely pathetic. It was. I mean, this. I mean, that's kind of. That's where we're at.
Jeff
Sad state of affairs.
Chip
A while ago, London was Trump for three.
Jeff
Three hours on Rogan.
Chip
Oh, that was phenomenal. I love that. You know what's cool about that, too? You know, what I really liked about that was the fact that. Because normally, if you think about all of the interview formats, they're all. They're all positioned for an outcome, right? So, like, J.D. vance was on one of the. One of the, you know, Meet the Press or one of the Meet the Depressed or whatever. It was one of those shows, right? And they tried it with the Gotcha questions. And what this was. Was you felt like there were just two dudes sitting at the bar having a conversation. And it was amazing to hear how much Trump is into Ms. You know, the Marshall. What is that with the mma? Like, he's really into it. They're talking about fighters, we're talking about things that happen. A slice of life, you know, in these formats. And Trump credits Baron because Baron is into a lot of these. A lot of these podcast formats. But all of the fact that you can listen to, like, and the best one was Andrew Schultz. Andrew Schultz. I think that.
Jeff
Oh, that was a great one.
Chip
I mean, you saw Trump laughing, having a good time. Yeah. This is what you want to see. He always had an answer. He could always go into specifics about policy. And this is how you get to know a person. Not, you know, not. Not by, you know, these scripted questions and trying to change the subject. Now, supposedly the rumor was that Harris was going to appear first, but she gave Rogan a list of things that she. He couldn't ask her or Trump's like, ask me anything, I don't care.
Jeff
Yeah, well, there, there was that and the fact that there's no way she could have lasted three hours. It'd be impossible.
Chip
She couldn't even last 30 minutes.
Jeff
Right. I think that's, that's really the point. That would have been a complete disaster, embarrassment.
Chip
I mean, it would have been three hours of being unburdened. I mean, basically, I mean, I've never just like, sit down and have a conversation with anybody. It's all this word salad all over again. It's nastiness.
Jeff
But it was funny. We're at a winery in Tuscany and, and the, the woman sitting next to my wife leaned over, she said, oh, we're from Australia. We hope Trump wins.
Chip
Very cool. Yeah.
Jeff
Yeah, it was, it was funny.
Chip
Yeah, that's awesome, man. It's good to see that, you know? Yeah. I was up in Montreal again and I did my poll and asking people and it's just, I'm just amazed and blown away by, like, every time I get into an Uber, it's like, I hear, you know, I mean, I just, like, fine. Well, I like to run into somebody who's voting for Harris. I mean, nobody. I mean, it's, it's amazing how many people have just like woken up. And the anger, man, the anger towards Obama, towards Pelosi, like, it's palpable. It's like they cannot stand. Like, to the point of where I played a greatest video yesterday. Jeff, I think we might have to put this video up again just because it was so good and because you got. You missed it. I have to, I might have to put it up again to see if, because it kind of like, it kind of, it kind of like brings it home right here. But listen to this.
RFK Jr.
At this damn point, this a full fledged comedy movie. Your vice president just got on live television yesterday and say even though she's been studying and debating all this time, and she's been in office all this time, she still gotta go Study the goddamn policies again before she give you a direct answer before she ever tell you anything. She gotta go study that again. Why she in office. You can't make this cartoon ass movie up. You can't make this up. This is she don't ask the questions. Every last one of y'all that's following this. Every target and they gonna keep on gas like you talk about the lesser of two evils while the lesser of two can complete a sentence, can answer one question.
Chip
1.
RFK Jr.
I'm asking for one answer to anything. This go all the way around. All we know about is she was a middle class child and. And we did it, Joe. That's all the we know about this.
Chip
That's my favorite video from last week. But he's. I mean, like, where's he wrong? I mean, quite honestly, like totally nailed it. You know what I mean? Link to the video. Yeah. Sign up for our. Listen, here's what you do. You go to our website. It's all on our website. What you should do is go to go on our website. Let me show you how to do this. Guys, let's do this together so we can workshop this a little bit here. Let's do it live. Let's do it live. Let's do it live. I will pull it up. So if you go to. On the chain IO which I will drop in there. I will drop it in there. Right there. So do it with me. You click on that. What you do is you come all the way down here to this joy the OTC family, put your email and your name and you will get the equivalent of. Let's see. So this is what it looks like. You'll get an email that looks like this with a link to the show that has every link of all the things we discuss and we talk about. You'll see it all, every single bit of it. There it is right there. That was. We talked about this on the show yesterday. And there it is. The language.
Jeff
So other things too.
Chip
It's all on the website too. I mean, you can always go after the show again, we post everything. You can go to the show. All the links are here too. But you can also get a nice communion email if you forget. If you miss a show. You can kind of see some of the stuff we talk about and there's some kind of things you might think were interesting and you might want to repost them on X yourself. That's most of the stuff we talk about. Same with this one here. Garling House, Debunk, blah, blah, blah. You can also listen to it. You can watch it again, and you can also listen to the audio version. Where. Where all different places. That's. You can get that.
Jeff
All the podcasts. Yeah, all of them. Every one of them.
Chip
They're all there, man. You know what I mean? That's what it is. See, there they are. Spotify. All these different locations, you can find us.
Jeff
And then I usually get notifications on Spotify now.
Chip
Yeah, that's right.
Jeff
And as soon as we get posted, boom, I get a notification.
Chip
Yeah, because you're subscribed to it. Yeah, you're subscribed to it. There you go. See all the stuff we talk about once in a while, there's some things on there we just never get to because, you know, well, usually we're talking.
Jeff
Too much, but yet it's still there.
Chip
Yet it's still there. We put. We put them up there. So there's how you do it. But what was the hilarious clip of the play where he showed that was top of a Tupac song? I don't know. Was that the song? I don't know. Was that the one? There's a bunch of clips I played. I played a lot of clips. Guys, super chat, yo.
Jeff
Guys. Getting kabashed. Not just that, our viewers. Look at this. We got YouTube right now on YouTube. 34 people on YouTube. That's it.
Chip
YouTube hates us. Yeah.
Jeff
Devastated on YouTube.
Chip
Like, we have 66 people watching total, which is a new low.
Jeff
And I. I had to mix it up. We can only with this new platform we got to look at. We already paid for the stream yard for the year. I wonder if they'll give us money back if we go to the next one. But now we can only put three things up. So I was mixing up today. I put in the Twitch because we haven't had Twitch for a little. There's only one person on Twitch that always tunes in. So for the. But I had to sacrifice some of our X. So we only got one X.
Chip
What are you saying, Norseman? You can't give a Super Chat or something like that? You can't add a Super Chat. That's really bizarro.
Jeff
Oh, you can't even add a Super.
Chip
Chat if you monetize this episode. Because that might be why.
Jeff
Yeah, no, it's monetized.
Chip
That's wild. Yeah, it is monetized. Weird.
Jeff
Open it up.
Chip
That is so damn weird. I don't know, man. You know what?
Jeff
Maybe something is happening. Oh, he sent it. He sent one and it didn't work.
Chip
That's Wild. Ah, man, that's what it is. That is so bizarro. You know what that to do is? We just have to put a little. Put a code up there. You can just send. You can just send, you know, crypto or something. I mean, not that we want to do that, but look, I mean, the problem is like they, they doubled the software and they took away our features. So we used to be able to stream to, you know, Twitch. We can't stream there anymore. Used to stream to multiple places on X, can't do that anymore. Used to stream to Facebook, can't do that anymore. So if you're going to raise it and then take away stuff. No, you should just. You should. If you're going to raise it, you should add features that we'd have to pay for to get, not remove features we already had. That's some serious. So you mentioned Trump. Sorry about that.
Jeff
That's why.
Chip
What happened?
Jeff
No, he mentioned Trump and his comment. YouTube chat, GPT. It's insane. We use check to mix things up. And you go in. I want to create a thumbnail out of this title. I want to see what it'll come up with. And if you have anything political in it, you have Trump's name on it. Doesn't work.
Chip
Best bmac that. We got that one. You know what it is, is. Yeah, that's exactly why Trump in there, you got up a tr. *, MP or something like that, because. Appreciate that BMAC. But I don't understand what. That's what it. No, it's not necessarily. It might not be throttled. I have a feeling it's more along the lines of. Well, I mean, look, we get Shadow banned, nobody gets the alerts.
Jeff
It's insane over here.
Chip
Everybody else is growing because they sit there and do hype videos about how you're going to be a billionaire, a trillionaire, maybe a gazillionaire, that's fine. But when you're doing straight spitting truth bombs and then. And it touches on, on along the lines of the not so friendly narrative, as you can imagine, then you get throttled, you get Shadow banned. I just looked. We lost 22 subscribers. I don't know from where, but we lost 22 subscribers yesterday. I'm like, great, how did that happen? And then they're not from the show yesterday, so who knows? I mean, it just pulls. It just removes them daily. It's pretty messed up. Yep. They hide them from me. Yeah, I can't find. Yeah, I keep doing what you're doing. It's Just, it's just. It just really sucks to have like our streaming platform. We've been loyal members with since the beginning. And then they. They doubled our streaming, the platform cost. We didn't renew at that cost and they took away our features. It's just, it's just. It's ridiculous. It's not a good business. So we may be pushing to something else. Unfortunately, it's just, man, no good. No bueno, Jeff. As they say, not a good thing. Well, got some other things from Must Def.
Jeff
He definitely has to roll out a YouTube please alternative.
Chip
I hope he does. I think he will roll something out that's very competitive, very similar type of thing. Because problem with X right now is like, yeah, you broadcast there, but there's no home. There's no page you can go to where it lives. The content that's, you know, that which stays there and there's different shows and stuff. That's what he has to build. I think that's gonna. Once he does that. So a lot of what we've been hearing is. We've been hearing the Harris, you know, campaign talk a lot about when Trump's in office, he's gonna. He's gonna politicize everything. He's gonna go after his political rivals, right? He's gonna. He's gonna arm, you know, the military, and he have the military go after it. Well, here's RFK Jr talking about something that happened that most people miss because, well, the mainstream media wasn't talking about it and who was paying attention. But this is atrocious. Hard to believe that this is even a po. This even happened. But let's listen in Another thing President.
Kamala Harris
Harris said today in her post, in her speech, she said that President Trump was going to turn the US Military against the American public and use the public to promote his agenda. How many of you think that is true? What's interesting to me is that the Biden Harris administration has done something two weeks ago that has never been done in American history, which is to send. Exactly lethal force. To send a directive to the Pentagon changing the law to make it legal for the US Military to be used to use lethal force against American citizens on American soil. Technically, now it's legal. The US Military, under this directive, it will become legal for the US Military to shoot and kill Americans who engage in political protests because they disagree with policies in the White House.
Chip
House.
Kamala Harris
I'm not making this up. Any of you can look it up. This is a Democratic initiative. This did not come during the Trump administration. This did not Come from Donald Trump. It came from the Democratic Party. And that's why I left the Democratic Party.
Chip
There you go. Boom. So crazy. Ben. Well, this one we got Norseman. Thank you very much. He says. Oh, okay. I won't be. I won't mention buying MAGA Trump coin. Much love those. Keep doing it. Yeah, thanks, man. Really appreciate that. Really appreciate that. I like how you did that, how you spaced it out. Maga. Maga. Make America great again. Make America healthy again. And I love what. What James woods was on Megan Kelly and he said, make America America again. Which I like to make America. Just make it America again. Appreciate that. Norseman, long time og, big time supporter. Thank you, man.
Jeff
What was the executive order, by the way? Do we know?
Chip
I just gotta look up military force. And what I don't understand is like, how can they give a directive? Like, how can they actively change the law without Congress? And how can they give a directive? It would have to be an executive order. But an executive order says the military can use lethal force against its own citizens. Look, man, this is Banana republic shit right here. I mean, this is insane that. That nobody's talking about this. I mean, if RFK hadn't talked about it, I might have missed it. I mean. Yeah, how does something like that float under the radar? How do they have the capability to change that?
Jeff
Jeff And I can't. I can't find the exact.
Chip
Okay, crypto whelp is in here, man. Appreciative, man.
Jeff
Maybe this is it.
Chip
Yeah, it's totally nuts. It's nuts. It's insane. Make America make stuff again. That too. There you go. Make cool again. I would say that. Make America. Make cool again. Yeah. Innovation, right? Let's have some cool stuff happening, man. Man, I know. It's almost 2:00am Dude, I thought you had your. I thought you had a new gig, that you had to change your hours and stuff, man. They're getting desperate. That's exactly right. They're getting very desperate. You know, the funny thing is, definitely desperate, you don't have a platform to run on when your platform is you destroyed the economy and you had 20 plus million illegals coming in here, a lot of which killed people. High profile cases. You start yelling Nazis. Start yelling fascist. I mean, this is the playbook from 2016. It's old. It's eight years old. They're still running stuff about Donald Trump had mein Kempf and his nightstand, right? Like, who believes that he was president for four years, right? I mean, it's insane. We had the. We had the Holocaust survivor whose whole family was killed in Auschwitz, you know, saying that he owes that. That, you know, they owe his whole family an apology. We had him on, by the way. He was in person at the. At Madison Square Garden. But it was such a. It was such a telling thing. Don't. Did you get to see that, Jeff?
Jeff
What's that?
Chip
The. The. I don't know if you saw that, but I'll pull it up again because I thought this was so incredible.
Jeff
Is this it?
Chip
DoD directive, intelligence related activities, defense component. I don't know. Maybe it was September 27th. I don't know. I don't know if it does. Implication, executive orders, who knows? But this is the guy right here, because I started calling Trump, you know, a Nazi, he's Hitler, all this stuff. But while you're looking through that, I'm going to put this up.
Byron Donald
I was 94 years old and survivor of Auschwitz. And the dead marchers, Adolf Hitler invaded Poland when I was nine years old. He murdered my parents and most of our family. I know more about Hitler than Kamala will ever know in a thousand lifetimes. For her to accuse President Trump of being like Hitler is the worst thing I've ever heard in my 75 years living in the United States. I know President Trump, and he would never say this. And Kamala Harris knows this. She owns my parents and everybody else who was murdered by Hitler. An apology for repeating this life.
Chip
Yeah, Amazing. I mean, so he was in attendance today, too. I don't think he spoke, but I know he was in attendance because I saw a screenshot of. But this is like this. I mean, you can't call everything you don't like Hitler anything in person. You don't like a fascist when, you know, 6 million Jews were killed. I mean, this is not the same thing. How many people. How many people died? J.D. vance had a brilliant. I'll play this little clip here from JD Vance today because, again, you have to constantly correct the media. And J.D. vance is clever. You're not gonna. You're not gonna screw him. Dude, this is.
Jeff
This is the war. It's the war of terminology. This is what the left continuously tries to do. They try to flip the whole narrative, and it's desperate and it's low and it's disgusting that they keep labeling Trump and. And anyone that supports maga. MAGA as some form, you know, aligning them with Hitler or Nazism. When the left is doing exactly that. What. What they did. Right. Right to. To the t. You know, they had. They had the. The violence in the streets. They have the propaganda machines they're using and flipping the. The narrative on its head. They're creating chaos. They're doing all these different things. They're taking their political opponents and, and, yeah, I know it's unbelievable, just every part of the narrative, but the fact they have to come out and be, you know, so callous and nonchalant with this whole terrorist thing and, Or. Or a Nazi thing, and they're ramping up the rhetoric, they're ramping up the violence in the streets. They want the violent and the attention in the streets. And you know what that Holocaust survivor said? It is the lowest point it. In. In history. You know, and if he looks back the 75 years that he's been in this country, you know, the fact that he had to suffer what he suffered through. My grandfather had a family before he married my grandmother, and when he was taken away by the Nazis, they had. He had a business at the time. They took him out, they took his wife and his little daughter and shot them both right in front of him, killed his wife and his daughter and then took him. And so, you know, the, the fact, you know, I listened to this guy's story, I know the stories through, you know, my family, you know, and everything that people had suffered through. And then to see, you know, the rampant anti. Semitism that is, you know, so, you know, easy for the left to embrace, and then you see the fact they want to throw around Nazism and they. It's just. It's so disgusting. It. They've reached such a low within this country that, you know, it's. It's a disruption. And this is why, you know, Trump is gonna. Is going to win.
Chip
Absolutely.
Jeff
This is why people are embracing truth. People want truth. You know, they don't want this fictitious narrative that's being, you know, thrown at them and just so callously disregarded. It's just, you know, truth is important. You know, the, the truth is really important.
Chip
Look at Norseman saying perfect. By calling him Hitler, they're trying to get him assassinated, start a civil war. There. There's. Again, they're citing all this incredible. That's. That's exactly how desperate they are. It's. It's incredible. It's incredibly ridiculous. But, you know, Oscar says people are seeing through it, all of it. Trump is going to win bigly. Absolutely. Listen, people choose freedom. People don't choose anger, negativity, all the stuff they've been saying. Look, that's a new day, man. This is not 2016 anymore. We have four years of Trump. We know. And it's incredible. Things have become even more and more radicalized. Elections were not like this 20 years ago. That's because the Democrat Party wasn't like this 20 years ago. There you go. I mean, it's, it's just, it's grown to the point of where it's insane. But I want to put this JD Vance clip up here because they try to. Again, these are, these are how, this is how legacy media works. You get the person there, you send them some gotcha questions, you try to hammer them with stuff instead of the podcast, which is a great format because it's a conversation. And then I saw Kamala was in a, in a barber shop. I'm like, Trump did that a couple weeks ago. Really? I mean, like, it's in her. And hers was just like he was having real conversations, goofing around, laughing, and she was just being herself, goofy and stupid.
JD Vance
Condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And I have, and of course the President has, but we also need to engage in some smart diplomacy if we're ever going to get out of the mess that Kamala Harris has left us in and get back to a posture of peace.
Jeff
And of course, Donald Trump was president.
Chip
For four years while Russia was essentially invading Crimea. Why didn't he kick him out when he had the chance? Wait, Russia was invading Crimea during Trump's presidency? Oh my God.
Jeff
Four years.
JD Vance
Oh, I think that that's a misunderstanding of the history, Chris. I look at that much differently.
Chip
First of all, fighting going on.
JD Vance
We had Russia invade another country, a sovereign nation during Obama. We had Russia invade a sovereign nation during Bush's term. We had Russia invade a sovereign nation during the leadership of, of Kamala Harris. The 14 year term where Russia did not launch a full scale invasion against the neighbor was under the leadership of Donald Trump. We also have to remember just, just on that point, if Donald Trump had not given Ukraine javelins, the country would not exist as an independent sovereign nation anymore. So the idea that Donald Trump wasn't sufficiently strong on Russia, I think is belied by the actual history of the period.
Chip
Just taking the task every time with their lies, their bs. They're just made up nonsensical stories. I mean, it's unbelievable. I think it's time to get into some of these clips that I have pulled here from. I just want to put Dr. Phil on here. It's a short clip, but Dr. Phil spoke today and you know, it's. I like what he said here.
Dr. Phil
As for you, the collective You, I don't want you to just listen and say, nice talk, Dr. Phil. I want you to march in your life. I want you to march, march with your beliefs. I want you to not be intimidated, don't be stopped, and don't just vote. Take five people with you. Like I said, the difference between winners and losers is winners do things losers don't want to do. And what they do is they take actions toward known outcomes. They deal with the truth, they set goals and they go after them with passion. And it's time for us to bring it home.
Chip
Bambus.
Dr. Phil
It's time for us to bring it home. It's time for us to be winners, winners, winners, winners. I started by telling you I love this country. I'll finish by telling you I love this country. And I love you for loving this country, country. God bless you and God bless the United states of America.
Chip
Dr. Phil was in rare form. Dr. Phil go off like that, man. What did you think about that? I was like, spot on. Just what you talked about, Jeff. The truth.
Jeff
Right, the truth. Truth is important.
Chip
You just talked about the truth. You just talked about, like, what that means. Right. Let's see what else we have. Here's another good.
Jeff
What was this in London, this clip that you were going to play a little while ago?
Chip
Oh, yeah, let me put that one up. This is. Well, this is what London said about Donald Trump here.
RFK Jr.
Our message, our message to Donald Trump of the United States and every American who's watching this. Your election in November is far bigger than your country.
Chip
Okay.
RFK Jr.
Donald Trump is needed in this world to bring back peace. Leadership is needed to save the rest. All our countries are being flooded and are destroying our cultures. They're bringing us down. It's an attack of the rest. There's only one person who's going to stop here. You have the opportunity in November with these legends.
Chip
Yep. Only one who can bring it back, that's Tommy Robinson, who's basically going to jail, by the way. They're putting him in jail for like three years because again, political opponent don't like what he says. Said some things, spoke some truth bombs. And it's amazing, man.
Jeff
Look at this comment. The more I want my crypto to grow, the more I realize that politics are important for that to happen.
Chip
Right? Amen, man. Spot on. Kamalama Ding Dong is a crack cocaine addict. The bag of cocaine found in the White House was hers. Not hunters. She routinely rubs under her nose and her mouth. Yeah, I remember speaking half stone. Typical coke. Yeah. There was the one clip that I play where she was hitting her nose the whole interview. Yeah, it was incredible. I mean, she's. It's so funny that everyone thought it was Hunters. Hunter's like, dude, the one time I didn't bring coke to the White House, I got blamed for it. It's like. And look at this. I want to show you this. This is Osaka, Japan. Check this out. Dude, this is insane. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America healthy with Bobby again.
Tommy Robinson
We will make America strong again.
Jeff
Look at that.
Chip
How do you like that? I got another angle of that. Same thing. Where is that?
Jeff
All over the world. Country to country to country, they realize how important it is. Everybody realizes.
RFK Jr.
We will make America safe again.
Chip
We will need. Yeah, that's insane.
Jeff
To make the world safe again.
Chip
Right? Make the world safe again. You saw when Trump was in Michigan, you had a Democrat mayor of a Muslim community endorse Trump because he said he's going to bring peace. He promised peace. Now, Jeff, you want to talk about some master level trolling? Vivek Ramaswamy, here we go.
Jeff
Yep.
Chip
Watch this face to face. Now I just gotta, like, practice a little bit. Vivek Ramaswamy is going to meet BuzzFeed CEO because he's now the second largest shareholder of BuzzFeed. So here's him talking about flying there to go meet. This is great. You guys don't know BuzzFeed. BuzzFeed is an ultra lefty, liberal rag lie machine. And Vivek now is the second largest shareholder and can pretty much carry some clout there, guys.
Jeff
And, you know, I'll hold, you know, reserve judgment and comment on that until I go check it out for myself, but I'm obviously the second largest outside shareholder now, so. Yeah, that means something, too. Look at that. Amazing. All right, guys, hot here. Got to la. We'll hang out at the restaurant for a little bit. Going to my business meeting maybe a couple minutes. A couple hours.
Chip
Gotta love that, man.
Jeff
I don't know about the articles on here, but.
Chip
Well, it'll all change. I mean, imagine buzzfeed becomes like a left Norseman again. Look at this, man. Bam. Crushing it today, man. Appreciate that, John Doe. Great stuff. Yeah, I mean, it's really great stuff. And I'll tell you what, there were so many good, good ones there. Let's see. I wanted to show this. Look at the crowd. This is just the crowd outside of Madison Square Garden who we gotta put.
RFK Jr.
In the White House. I can't hear you. That's right. 2020.
Chip
You heard it right here.
Jeff
Folks, 20, 24, folks.
Grant Cardone
Well, Chinese first generation, we love Trump from our bottom of the heart because we know Trump is the only one can save America. Kamala is so stupid. She is so low. IQ equal. No kill, no qualification to be the present. You shall stay away from that position. You already lost the possession. You lost our trust, you lost our vote. You just need to go home, to stay home. You cannot do anything to save America. You are so stupid. You don't know anything. You cannot even answer any question from the camera, from all the media, how you can be on the stage to fight home for America, to protect American people, to protect all the world. You are not qualified.
Jeff
You spirit, I love that.
Chip
You're not qualified. You are not qualified. Here's Grant Cardone.
Jeff
Brings me to Timmy. Timmy and Kamala. No, no, bigger than that.
Stefan Thomas
Come on, dude.
Chip
That's what I'm talking about. They're going to ruin this country.
Jeff
Folks, you guys need to get angry right now. The country's pissed and I'm not here to invalidate them. The whole world can see their incompetence.
Chip
They're complete tools of the elites. They're mere puppets.
Stefan Thomas
That's right, puppets.
Chip
Puppets, baby.
Jeff
Puppets.
Chip
Yeah. I mean, it's just. It's where we're at in this whole thing, man. It's just. It's incredible. I think I got another clip here. I can throw up here. This one was a little bit of a funny one. I thought. This one was actually. No, that's not a funny one. That's a really heartfelt one right there. But this goes to show you. Let's see.
Jeff
She was Chinese.
Chip
Here we go.
Jeff
I just want to play this generation.
Chip
Here's a fun one right here. This is.
Jeff
Have you seen this one? She was yelling at a five year old. I saw that pop up, but I couldn't see the video. Did they find her? Why was she yelling at her?
Chip
She was just screaming at her. She's a nut job.
Jeff
Well, why was she screaming at her?
Chip
She left us. They're. They're mentally ill. Look at this one. This is a short little bit right here. Watch this. My son in law got beat up for having a Harris Waltz 2024 sticker on the back of his truck. He's got one week to get it off there or I'm going to do it again. That's fantastic.
Jeff
Oh, my gosh.
Chip
One week to remove it or I'm gonna do it again. This one here was heartfelt. This, this one. I know this story. I've seen this guy before, but this was a heartfelt story. He gets very emotional on stage. Listen to this.
Tommy Robinson
November 20th, 20th, 1974. My father suffered a massive heart attack and died. I went to this Q Forest School, the same school as our President Trump attended. Three days after my father's burial, there was a knock on the door one school morning about 7am I answered the door. There was a very distinguished gentleman standing in front of me. And he said, when I opened the door, kid, call your mom down, please. I called upstairs to my mom, mom, there's some guy here. Please come down. And she came down and he said to her, I'm very sorry to hear about Joseph Rem's death. I'm Fred Trump, Donald's father. And my mom said, yes, I know Donald Trump went to Q Forest School. He said, yes, Mrs. Rem, but you probably. What you probably don't know is that I'm still on the board of trustees. And this morning I let Phillip Rogers, who's the headmaster at Q Forest School, know that from this day forward, I, Fred Trump, out of my own pocket, is going to be paying for your three children's tuition at Kew Forest because I don't want the kids to have to go back into the public school system. Now, who would do that except the President Trump's father? And the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.
Chip
Gotta love that, man.
Jeff
It's awesome.
Chip
What a great story, right? And there's a lot of great stories about Trump helping people out too. So Bmax says, hey, see if you can look. Can you look this up, Jeff? Look at the guy chopping down Harris signs in Phoenix with a hatchet. He was on the news. You've seen Hammertones meme coin? No, I've not. I can only summarize, you know, surmise what that might be. And I hate to do that, but, yeah, everyone's got a meme coin. There's like 5, 600 of them. I mean, good God almighty, 42 people here. Only 27 likes smashing. It is free. Did you find it? Did you find the news report of it?
Jeff
If this was on someone's private property, but they're in trees. I don't understand. Maybe this one's different. This one might be different.
Chip
Where?
Jeff
Where were they seen?
Chip
Was he chopping them down or what was he doing?
Jeff
I don't think this Amish man takes down Harris signs in North Carolina.
Chip
Is that it? BMAC hatchet was on the news. I don't know where it was, but maybe it was. I don't know.
Jeff
No, it's not.
Chip
It. The signs of the intersections. You gotta just drop the link in there, man, so we can see it. Don't know. Not sure which one it was, but yeah, Sean Thompson was on here the other night. We had a great time. It was awesome. It's fun. Touching story. Absolutely touching as hell. I mean, this guy got emotional about it. He's like, who does that? That's incredible, man. And then let's play this final one and get out of here, Jeff. But this one's Byron Allen. I thought his speech was awesome. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the.
Jeff
Stage Congressman Byron Donald.
Chip
Sorry I said that. Entrance. Man, I gotta turn that down, guys. Yeah, you know, that's gonna get. Yeah, we gotta. Yeah, we gotta. We gotta. Like, we don't want to get strikes on us. So when I just turn that down until he gets up to the stage, but you kind of get the gist of it as he's walking up. Big crowd, you know, in the background, so you can hear it. There they are. It's up there again. My pick for the VP would have been. But who knows? I think you make a great president, so it would have been great.
Jeff
Would have been great.
Stefan Thomas
Man, is it good to be home in New York City? You know, usually I got a lot to say, but this one's special to me. I was born in Brooklyn, New York. In New York, we refer to MSG as the Mecca. We refer to it as the center of entertainment. And in nine days, it's going to be the launch point for the center of making Donald Trump the 47th president of the United States.
Chip
Yeah.
Stefan Thomas
I don't even want to talk about Kamala.
Chip
Why?
Stefan Thomas
Why would we waste our time? She doesn't even want to talk about herself. She tells us she grew up in a middle class family. But I don't care, because it's families today in New York, in Chicago, in Philadelphia, in Milwaukee, in Phoenix, they are struggling because of Kamala Harris. And they are saying the same thing we're saying. We had enough. We need Donald Trump back. She broke the border. She broke the border and doesn't even, even have the guts to tell you the truth. But that's okay, because the next president of the United States, he's going to fix the border because he did it once and he's going to do it again. She unleashed the massive inflation that has made it harder for every working family in our country. If she was around when I was a kid, it would have devastated my mom, who still lives in Brooklyn. Hi, mom. How you doing?
Chip
He's the guy that grilled Guest. And you think he's the guy that called him out for being Hillary's bagman, that wrote the checks. Remember? He's like, right, sir, Sir. He's like, you're not. You're. You're under oath. He's like, sir, sir, you're under oath. Chair Gensler. Yeah, he's the guy.
Stefan Thomas
She has an answer for the people who are trying to find ways to get ahead. No, she doesn't. Nothing but word salad. I kind of like salad. Everybody should have some. It's healthy. It's good for you. But this word salad, a mess is demented. It is meant to make you. To make you think that she's smart and you're somehow dumb. The truth of the matter is the common sense of the American people is what is needed today. And that will be brought by Donald J. Trump. Then you look around the world. Look around the world. She says she was the last person in the room after that disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. You know, that withdrawal is seared into my mind. I remember watching Afghanis hold on to the sides of airplanes to escape the Taliban. And as I'm watching this, the one thing I know is that if Donald Trump was president, that never would have happened. Never would have happened, right?
Chip
Never.
Stefan Thomas
But I have a special message to everybody around the world, especially those who want to find themselves getting into the business of other people or messing with our greatest ally in Israel. Donald Trump is going to stand by Israel 100% of the way. 100% of the way. And Donald Trump is going to get us out of these wars because he did it once and he's going to do it again. But the last thing we're going to fix, and it's a big one, you see, I got three kids. They're all boys. And I'll be damned if you're going to have some school. Tell my boys that they can now be girls. Not on my watch. Not on the watch of Donald Trump. I could promise you that we're going to have common sense in America again under Donald Trump. We're going to get men out of women's sports. Under Donald Trump, America will take its place again as the shining city on the hill, as the leader of the world.
Chip
Remember who said the shining hill in the shining city on the hill. Remember who coined that phrase? Was it he's always talked about the shining city on the hill. I don't know if he coined it, but he was the one that always popularized it, for sure.
Stefan Thomas
As the number one nation as the great experiment because he's gonna fix it once again. And it's together, New York and around America. We are going to make America great again. God bless you, New York. God bless America. Let's go win. Let's go win.
Chip
Beautiful, man. Well, it's pretty awesome. It's almost all we have there. But it's good to have you back, Jeff. It's like there's a lot.
Jeff
Yeah, it's good to be back.

Chip

Jeff
Every single time. Every time she goes. It's a new accent.
Chip
The only one she hasn't done is the Indian accent, which is more appropriate, to be quite honest.
Jeff
Oh, my gosh.
Chip
Yeah. But who knows, man? Yeah. Huh? Yeah. What accent is she using? I don't know. She's. She's always. She sounds sinister. Yeah, the. Joy's left the building a long time ago for sure. Joy cometh in the morning. Joy cometh in the morning.

Podcast Summary: On The Chain - "Is Ripple Bringing Back Codius? New York Going to Trump?"
Release Date: October 28, 2024
In the latest episode of On The Chain - Blockchain and Cryptocurrency News + Opinion, host Jeff and co-host Chip delve into significant developments in the blockchain space, particularly focusing on Ripple's potential revival of Codius, and the political landscape surrounding the upcoming Trump 2024 campaign. The episode seamlessly blends technical insights with fervent political commentary, catering to both newcomers and veterans in the digital asset community.
Codius Revival: Jeff initiates the discussion by revisiting Codius—a smart contracts platform initially developed by Ripple in 2014. Codius was envisioned as a flexible, scalable solution for decentralized applications, enabling off-ledger smart contract execution to alleviate the computational burden on the XRP ledger.
Jeff [05:14]: "Codius can talk to anything connected to the Internet. It was a really great, really, really great idea."
Historical Context and Potential: Chip provides a comprehensive overview of Codius's history, highlighting its shelving in 2018 due to Ripple's strategic missteps and shifting priorities towards institutional banking solutions. He emphasizes that Stefan Thomas, a key figure behind Codius, believed in its potential for revolutionizing smart contracts platforms.
Chip [06:30]: "Codius, an open source hosting platform for smart contracts, aims to revolutionize decentralized app development by providing a more flexible and scalable approach compared to traditional blockchain platforms."
Community and Developer Impact: The hosts discuss the importance of Codius's language-agnostic approach, allowing developers to write contracts in popular programming languages like Java and C++. This flexibility was anticipated to attract a broader range of developers to the XRP ecosystem, enhancing its utility and transaction capacity.
Jeff [08:31]: "It was a fantastic opportunity. If they roll it out, let's hope it's a massive rollout with a huge amount of money behind it to attract a lot of users really fast."
Comparison with Competitors: Jeff contrasts Ripple’s approach with that of Ethereum, noting that while Ethereum capitalized on smart contracts early on, Ripple missed the window, potentially dampening its competitiveness. The discussion extends to Flare, another smart contract platform, suggesting that Ripple might benefit from pivoting focus or collaborating with existing platforms to regain lost ground.
Jeff [13:08]: "10 years ago was exciting. Now I'm not so excited about it right now as I would have been 10 years ago. Because Flare exists, you know, and it's taken Flare a number of years to get."
Support for Trump: The conversation shifts towards the political arena, with Chip and Jeff expressing strong support for Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 elections. They discuss various political events, rallies, and endorsements that signal a resurgence of Trump’s influence.
Chip [03:46]: "Florida's going to Trump. I think a lot of states are going to Trump."
Fox Business Crypto Show Controversy: A significant portion of the episode critiques Fox Business's new crypto show, expressing disappointment in the choice of host, Sean Duffy, over more qualified journalists like Ellie Tarrett. The hosts argue that the network missed an opportunity to provide insightful crypto analysis by selecting a host perceived as less knowledgeable.
Chip [17:15]: "Sean Duffy... I don't think the person knows a lot about crypto and proved herself."
RFK Jr. and Kamala Harris Critique: Chip shares clips and comments from RFK Jr. and Kamala Harris, criticizing their policies and positioning Trump as a savior against what they portray as Democratic overreach. The hosts express frustration with the Democratic Party's strategies, including allegations of militarizing law enforcement against American citizens.
Chip [37:35]: "Any of you can look it up. This is a Democratic initiative."
Holocaust Survivor's Accusations: A poignant moment includes a Holocaust survivor condemning Kamala Harris by equating her policies to atrocities, specifically accusing her of aligning with Hitler's ideologies.
Byron Donald [41:28]: "To accuse President Trump of being like Hitler is the worst thing I've ever heard in my 75 years living in the United States."
Campaign Strategies and Media Manipulation: Jeff and Chip discuss the perceived manipulative tactics of the Democratic Party in reshaping narratives and undermining Trump’s image by associating him with extreme negative connotations.
Jeff [44:18]: "The left continuously tries to flip the whole narrative... creating chaos."
Streaming Platform Issues: The hosts express frustration with their current streaming platform, indicating limitations imposed after a price hike, leading to reduced functionality such as diminished Super Chat features and restricted multi-platform streaming capabilities.
Chip [32:03]: "They doubled the software and took away our features."
Alternative Streaming Solutions: In response to these setbacks, Chip suggests integrating cryptocurrency as an alternative for donations and hints at the possibility of exploring new streaming platforms to regain lost features and audience engagement.
Chip [32:22]: "We just have to put a little code up there. You can just send crypto or something."
Election Countdown: As the countdown to the election nears, Jeff and Chip contemplate live-streaming the results, anticipating a significant shift towards Trump based on the current momentum and public sentiment.
Chip [71:02]: "We have nine days to go... Let's see who wins."
Hope for Codius and XRP Ecosystem: Returning to the technical discussions, the hosts remain hopeful about the potential revival of Codius, stressing its importance for the XRP ecosystem's growth and the broader blockchain community.
Chip [13:08]: "Codius enhances XRP ledger ecosystem by providing off chain smart contract execution and increasing the XRP's transaction per second."
Final Reflections: Jeff and Chip wrap up the episode by urging listeners to stay engaged, emphasizing the importance of truth and transparency in both the blockchain space and the political realm. They express determination to continue advocating for their beliefs and supporting the XRP ecosystem.
Jeff [74:00]: "Truth is important. The truth is really important."
Jeff [00:14]: "We got to talk about Codius. Is Ripple the one bringing back Codius?"
Chip [04:15]: "This was a new version of Codius. I don't want to say too much yet because it's obviously still very early days."
Stefan Thomas [63:15]: "In nine days, it's going to be the launch point for the center of making Donald Trump the 47th president of the United States."
Byron Donald [41:28]: "To accuse President Trump of being like Hitler is the worst thing I've ever heard in my 75 years living in the United States."
Dr. Phil [48:22]: "I want you to march with your beliefs... the difference between winners and losers is winners do things losers don't want to do."
This episode of On The Chain effectively bridges the gap between blockchain technology discussions and the fervent political climate, particularly around the Trump 2024 campaign. Jeff and Chip provide their perspectives with passion and conviction, making it a compelling listen for audiences interested in both cryptocurrency developments and the intersection of technology with current political dynamics.
