And you know, Chip, first it was xrp. Now it really feels like flare actually just crossed that exact same line. Like something shifted this week. I know it's been kind of percolating for a little bit. It's not price, it's not hype, not fomo, but the actual conversation is shifting, it's changing. You know what I'm talking about?
B
Yeah. And that's like the crazy part because most people still think flare, it's like some side little project, a little ecosystem sort of kind of hanging off of xrp. Like, oh, yeah, that's the thing with F assets. Meanwhile, these guys are over there quietly building programmable liquidity infrastructure, and it's massive. You know the funny part about that, Jeff, is everyone's gonna say, I wish somebody would have told me about it.
A
That's exactly how it goes. Because they're looking at the, the hype, the FOMO and the YouTube fanboys out there. People are actually looking at this thing like through the old crypto lens. You all you hear is when moon, what exchange, what partnership. Meanwhile the actual rails are being deployed underneath the financial system. It's exciting. Not fomo. This is real world development in real time.
B
Yeah, that's what I keep saying. Because the infrastructure guys don't care if retail understands it yet. They're building smart accounts, AI integrations, agentic agents, value routing, cross chain liquidity. People are still debating the candles on the four hour chart.
A
I'm not even sure how they're debating those candles on the four hour charts, but they are now. Please, CNBC and Jim Kramer and all those guys out there that like to hype things up, tell me, when am I allowed to start paying attention? That's what I want to know.
B
Right, exactly. And like, when does this get interesting? Because Fib16 isn't just some government's proposal. That's kind of the part people are missing. It's kind of changed the entire economic structure of the network, Jeff.
A
That's right. And that's actual key because when you we're actually looking at this thing now, you're moving from emissions inflation speculation, which there's a lot of that going on out there, into actual value capture mechanics. And I think we have to underscore that this is innovative, this is different. And flare right from the beginning. And they're building development, man, they're pushing the envelope at this point. They're saying, hey, how can we differentiate? How can we do things different? And that's it. Actual value capture mechanics. I mean, it's. This is A big move.
B
Yeah. Once you actually connect that back to xrp, which is why I think most people are paying attention. At least some of them are, this whole thing suddenly starts to look a lot bigger because now you're talking about, you know, xrp liquidity flare infrastructure, you know, backdoor AI agents. You have autonomous finance programmable settlement. And that's like when people start saying, like, huh? I'm getting that feeling. Wait a minute, did this thing already start? Hello? Anybody out there? McFly.
A
It's really amazing. I mean, you start as you're going through that narrative, I'm thinking, man, there's so much going on. It's such happening at such a rapid point of time. That's why I think a lot of people just look at the speculative. They took a step back for a second, they actually see all the things going on. Maybe they'll get overwhelmed. I'm not sure. But really, I think, you know, many out there are getting that feeling, like, is it too late?
B
Yeah, that's the question you always have to yourself. But I'll tell you what it's not too late for. Not too late to get started. Let's dive in.
A
Let's go.
B
Welcome to on the Chain. Hey.
A
Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here with co host Chip. What's going on, Chip?
B
Well, it's another Sunday night. What's going on, Jeff? It's, you know, what's going on? OTC fam man. Tonight's one of the those shows where the dots really start to connect and we've got a really great video. It's a couple of things to go, and then we're going to get into the geopolitical stuff.
A
Jeff, we love that. We like connecting all the dots. And this one's different because over the last few months, we've been talking about XRP crossing into institutional infrastructure. Last few months, man, Last few years, we've been. We've been talking about it, but now it feels like Blair has just stepped into a completely different category as well. This is. This is pretty big. I mean, this is not just hype, but it's big news for the crypto space.
B
No, exactly. And that's kind of like the important part, too. The other important part, too, is Hugo's coming on the show. He said he is. We're just trying to schedule it, so don't worry, we'll get Hugo in here. We're going to. We're gonna have him. We're gonna break it down, we're gonna workshop it. Only, like, we can and our interviews always, always hit a little bit differently because we get into a lot of things and questions most people, not technical questions, other questions people really want to know. You know, it's not, isn't like we have a meme rally. It's not like hey, some influencer said Moon, it's his infrastructure Mechanics.
A
Jeff When Moon589 and that's a phrase right there, it is all about infrastructure mechanics. Because once you really start looking at the FIP16 value capture, XRP5 smart accounts, autonomous finance, all these things that really can capture the imagination and beyond. I mean the scope is, who knows is. I don't know if it's infinite, but man, it is massive. Just to think, just think and you can get it done now. And it really changes our entire conversation and changes the whole narrative out there right now.
B
Yeah, especially gets really crazy when you start thinking about how this connects to AI. You have your AI agents, you know, they're not going to be sitting around waiting for bank hours like, huh, It's Friday at 5. I wonder if I should go to the bank. They're going to need instant settlement. They're going to need that programmable liquidity, interoperable systems, automated value routing. Suddenly networks like XRP and Flare start making way more sense than people actually realize. Because now you're not really talking about crypto, you're kind of talking about that financial infrastructure for the machine to machine economy. Right. Your agent talked to my agent. They'll do lunch at some point.
A
That's it's really, it is actually, you know, funny, you know, when we start diving into it and now we're talking about an entire new economy for AI agents. And the AI agents, are they becoming aware? Are they going to figure this out? Because a few episodes ago we talked about AI agent credit, that we can help them build their own credit. Which is kind of crazy. And really most people actually, they still don't understand this part. It's really amazing to me. But the infrastructure gets built before the masses will understand exactly what they're looking at. And that's okay. And it's not a coincidence. Tonight we are going to connect all these dots and we're going to make sure that everybody clearly understands at least part of it. And that's what this.
B
Yeah. And I think the first way to start this off was a banger. You know, I've seen a lot of stuff and consumed a lot of stuff on the Internet, but I saw this video from Mickey B. Fresh and I said this really breaks it down so succinctly. And I really loved it. Not only that, but it's really. It's a really well executed, phenomenal graphics too, because sometimes he has a really great opportunity to put it in, really kind of so you can understand what's happening. But I thought we'd listen. It's a little bit long. I think it's about five, six minutes long. But let's. Let's watch this. But I want to see this. I want to get everyone's thoughts. What's going on? John from Flair Community here. What's going on, John? We ought to get John on the show. Let's get John on the show. John, when are you coming on the show? I want to know right now. Like, when is it going to happen? Just go ahead and drop it in right there. But we got to get you on the show now. Now that you've doxed yourself just. Sean. So it's time for you to come on the chain and kind of fill us in what's going on. We'd love to have you on here as a guest. So let me know what. Let us know if you can do that, man. But let's watch this video. Let's break this down. Jeff, we want to go full screen with this.
A
We can. A lot of content in there. Let's hang out, hang out.
B
We'll hang out.
A
Let's just hang out. Because otherwise it gets crazy.
B
All these grapples, too.
C
Today we need to talk about FIP 16, because this proposal is not just another small tokenomics tweak. This is not some Borance maintenance update. This is not just, hey, guys, inflation goes down a little bit.
B
No.
C
FIP16 is Flair attempting to redesign the entire economic engine of the network. And if you really understand what's being proposed here, you start to see why this matters so much. Because the goal is not merely to just reduce inflation. The goal is to take real economic activity happening across the network and create a tighter transmission line back into the. Into the value of the FLR token. That is the real story. What Flair is saying with FIP 16 is this. We do not want FLR to just sit there as a passive governance token getting diluted forever while the ecosystem grows around it. We want FLR to be tied directly to the economic productivity of the network itself. And that is much bigger idea. So let's break this down the right way. First, the simple part. Inflation gets cut. Once FIP 16 passes, annual FLR inflation drops from 5% to 3%. That alone is already meaningful. But on top of that, the yearly hard cap for the newly issued FLR drops from 5 billion to 3 billion FLR. So right out the gate, the proposal is slowing down token issuance, but doesn't stop there. It also excludes certain pools from the inflation calculation entirely. That includes burned flr, temporary pools of unearned rewards, and the new fire pool. Why does that matter? Because if tokens already burned, locked away, or sitting in a reinvestment pool waiting to be used, the network is basically saying those tokens should not keep generating new inflation on top of themselves.
B
It's really. It's funny. Nobody's really kind of putting something like this forth, right, Jeff? Because it is revolutionary. Evolutionary as well. But you think about how long crypto's been around. This is a really solid idea. And this is why I like When Mickey Be Fresh helps break it down because it makes it really easy to understand.
C
That's a big shift. It's flair, trying to make the inflation math more honest and more efficient. But here's the part people need to understand the most. FIP 16 is not only about cutting inflation. That's the first move. The real move is replacing inflation over time with network earnings. That's where it gets interesting. This is where FIRE comes in. Flares Reinvestment engine, the centerpiece of FIP 16. It's called fire. And Fire is not just some side. Treasury is the heart of the whole thing. Think of FIRE as Flare's network revenue operating system is the mechanism that would collect revenue from multiple parts of the FLARE stack value back into the ecosystem. So what goes into fire? According to the proposal, Fire would accumulate revenue from the ftc, request protocol fees, F assets, smart account protocol fees, FCC fees, which the Flare confidential, compute, and eventually captured mev. And importantly, FIRE can hold mixed assets, not just flr. That means it accumulates value in flr, stablecoins F assets, and potentially others as well. That is huge because now you're no longer talking about a system that only survives by minting more FLR and handing it out. You're talking about a system that can take external economic value and then decide how to use that value in a way that strengthens the token and the network. That is why I keep saying this is not just a buyback. Proposal is a network revenue operating system. So what does FIRE actually do? This is where the proposal gets really serious. Its primary mandate is to reduce FLR supply as far as possible. That is strong language. But it also has a secondary mandate, and these matter just as much. FIRE can be used to reduce Inflationary dependence for validators and stakers. Buy FLR on the open market, burn flr, reallocate FLR strategically and reward asset issuers based on their activity and the MEV. Their assets help generate, deepen liquidity and yield on DApps and help fund long term ecosystem development and network support. So in plain English, FHIR is being designed as a kind of economic flywheel. Activity generates revenue, revenue goes into fhir. FHIR uses that revenue to strengthen the network support activity, reduce supply pressure and reinforce token value. That is a radically different model from just endlessly printing tokens to subsidize participation.
A
The FIRE system transforms network activity into sustainable value inputs like fees and compute power feed the central engine Crius routes abay at the Nevis Murgar. For this is fire, the network Revenue operating system. It takes activity and turns it into real sustainable revenue routing chip. I mean there's so much to consume. We got to workshop this a little bit.
B
It's a lot going on.
A
I'm going through so much and I'm, I'm sure people are, are like the hell's going on here?
B
Isolated over.
A
Exactly. Let's break this up a little bit. You know, this, this whole, the entire. And the internal Revenue, you know, he's calling it fire. They're, they're wanting to burn, they want to reduce asset availability. I mean there's, there's a lot going on here.
B
Well, yeah, I mean like, I mean when you think about reducing the emissions, you know, if you have like you're if. And he mentioned this, he said if your annual token inflation, if you cut that by 40%, you're basically dropping it right around from 5% to 3% and then you end up capping the issuance at 3 billion flare a year. I know he mentioned that too and I love this idea. I mean, it's funny, they call it FIRE because it's like a flywheel, you know, it introduces like this flare, you know, and it sort of. Well, what it stands for is FLARE Income Reinvestment Entity, which makes perfect sense because it's going ahead and extracting that value, the transaction fees and then it kind of rolls them directly into an open market sort of flare buybacks and burns. And it's really kind of radically different than anybody's really ever proposed. Right? You've had buybacks in the past, you've had transaction fees, but no one's ever said like, well hey, what if we create that because and sort of monitor that and that goes ahead and becomes like, sort of like its own little engine and, and all, all together. You know, even on the fee restructuring, you know, the base gas fees will, you know, go up a little bit. They go from like I think 6, 660 to like 1200 or something like that. And it, what it'll do in the end is kind of like, you know, increase that speed at which tokens are permanently removed from circulation. Because you know, what we've seen before, we've seen, well, let's just go ahead and let's just burn the tokens, right? We saw that happen with, with who just who burned half of their supply. We just burned half the supply. And it's like they didn't have anything innovative. I mean, obviously you're not going to reduce that many tokens over time. But again, something like this that has an actual functionality is pretty revolutionary. It's, it's really interesting.
A
It really is. And you know, as we start getting into, you know, these types of details and it takes us outside of the pure speculative nature and you really start thinking about the architecture, the infrastructure, you know, the all, all of the different elements that can lead and will potentially lead to value if you don't have the, the true basic functionality, the architecture and an adjustable architecture. And that's why, you know, throwing things out like that flare on its own, developing and building. You know, you think about like with the XRPL without the community involvement, if it was just Ripple, Ripple is going to keep developing and building in a direction that suits their purpose, not the community purpose. The XRPL community is going to help adjust and develop to suit the XRPL community. The others that are developing, figuring out other methodologies to build and develop. And that's what we're seeing now even you know, within Flare here, here's someone looking at the ecosystem and saying, hey, you know what, maybe we could adjust. Maybe there's this other path that can make it even more impactful and we need these types of brains. Imagine, you know, if you have one person thinking and workshopping and then you have a hundred people thinking and workshopping, all the sleuths, all the crypto sleuths, all the crypto developers out there analyzing and considering what could we actually do to further build out the technology and what kind of impact can it have on day to day projects or just our day to day life? Because that's really where it comes from, right? We identify a problem, there's a problem out there, we have to think of the solution and then we piece in, in the, then we connect all the dots and that's really what it's about. That's. I. I find this just kind of riveting to go through this and. But it's so. There's so much detail.
B
Well, I just want to know who came up with it because, again, like, nobody's usually thinking about deflation or like, you know, this whole idea, the reinvestment part of it. Right. In sort of rethinking that. So I want to know if it was, like, a group of people that came up with this. But it's a very. Usually these proposals are kind of. I want to say they're lame, but they usually accomplish something. But this one has a lot of thought behind it. So let's. Let's finish this up and then we'll come back.
A
Value directly to buybacks, rewards and ecosystem growth.
C
Ripple treasury is generating major momentum across the industry right now. The architecture on the screen shows the wide platform.
B
Yeah, that's pretty much it for that. But I just thought that was really fascinating. And again, I saw this because I've seen a bunch on it. I read a bunch on it, but I thought this video really did a good job of sort of, like, breaking it down. The graphics are great, man. You know, he does y. Does a great job with the graphics. I thought that was.
A
That was exciting.
B
Yeah, it was really well done. It was good stuff. I mean, I thought that he always does great videos of breaking stuff down, but this one I thought was particularly good. There's a lot of cool. There's so many cool things going on. I mean, funny thing is, you got to choose what you want to talk about, because we'd only have about 20 to 25 minutes. We get into this part, and then we'll jump into our geopolitical segment, which comes always after this. We'll get into. We'll talk a little bit about the rally that happened yesterday in the Kingdom. Save the Kingdom, which was Tommy Robinson's rally. We'll get into this. That as well, but here we go. I thought this was pretty cool. This whole thing drops NFT exchange for XRPL EVM, the sidechain. So you got the XRPL ledger, carried NFTs, you know, your XLS 20s for years. Clean, fast, intentionally simple. They sit in a wallet, they transfer, and that's kind of how it works, right? But NFTs in 2026 are doing more than sitting in wallets. They gate access, they distribute revenue, they carry on chain royalties, and they get traded by AI agents that never really touch ui. None of the that lives natively in the base of XRPL design because the base XRPL design was never really trying to do that. So XRPL EVM is and this is where the kind of drops come in. So why this matters now? XRP EVM is a fully Ethereum compatible, runs the same EVM that powers most of the smart contract world, but settles in XRP as gas. So that's a very big sort of a distinction. And every transaction transaction reinforces XRP utility. So the chain inherits XRP class speed and cost and Ethereum style programming arrives at the XRP ecosystem's doorstep without ever asking creators or collectors to leave the XRP world to use it. Another, you know, key distinction and what hasn't existed there until now is an NFT exchange built native for it. And we built drops to fill that space. So it's not a port, it's not a fork, it's designed from the contracts up for what XRPL EVM enables and for the kind of work creators in the eco XRP ecosystem but asking for long before the sidechain was live. So what Programmability unlocks. So this is the part most people skimpass don't. So the reason ERC721XRPL EVM matters is now there's an extra place to mint. That's an nft. An XRPL EVM is a program, it's not just a record. Concretely that means membership that actually gates. A holder's NFT can unlock access on chain say like it could be a discord, could be a token gated app to revenue distribution enforced by contract, not necessarily by trust. And royalties aren't optional. So EIP 2981 royalties live in the contract itself. They travel with the token wherever trades, no marketplaces terms of service to opt out of drops reinforces that or enforces them. And so every other EVM marketplace that follows the standard and composability with the rest of the EVM ecosystem. So your NFT now holds tokens, it can sign messages, it can vote in a dao, it can be wrapped, lent, fictionalized. Every Ethereum primitive that took a decade to build is already available the moment you deploy an XRPL evm. And then finally you get this agent tradable. So AI agents discover drops through standard discovery files and operate via a public CLI NPL installed drop. GG drops market, they list, they buy, they run auctions autonomously. The UI is for humans, the CLI is for everything else. So what we built different was a Marketplace wasn't enough. They they have permanent storage on our weave. A flat 10 XRP to launch a connect a collection. Which is pretty cheap Jeff. For a whole collection. We know because we looked at launching on Bitcoin. We looked at launching on Solana. So it's anti spam free. It's not a gatekeeper. Anybody wants a launch can launch your primary sales 2 1/2 percent, your secondary 1%. There's no hidden gas markup. Well you know how that works on Ethereum. If you buy there's a hell of a gas markup. So on chain royalties main debt from day one creator royalties are up to 10 contract enforced. And this is the difference too because they're. It's a real contract. EIP 2981 and there's no leaving the marketplace. So you sign with Google through Privy or you can connect through Metamask. I probably go through Privy. You bridge your XRP from the XRPL into the EVM right inside the app. There's no separate bridge tab. There's no detour the entire loop. I have XRP to own. I own an NFT stays in one window. And so what's live? What's next? So a few collections are minted on the mainnet. With more in the pipeline platforms open. Anybody can deploy a collection from creator Flow. Today the CLI is published. It's pretty cool. Get in if you're an artist, founder or builder. Jeff. Like we are. Here it is right there. Drops.
A
Check it out. Let's see what it looks like.
B
Drop Star market. Here we go. It looks like there's only two of them.
A
Drop it like it's hot.
B
Two collections. So you got this one. Nanokins. Let's see what this is. Let's look here. Looks like a big egg is what it looks like.
A
Okay.
B
Nanokins. Yeah. Stage egg. Do these things do something? It's on our weave. Where? That's where our originally ones were. And how do you. Let's see. Make an offer. You can do this. You can make an offer in xrp. There it is right there. And there's your contract. There's a contract attached to this. I don't know if this actually does anything. I'm not sure what it does. The nanokin dominant digital pet waiting to hatch. So there you go. I guess it does do something. I guess eventually it does change.
A
Wow.
B
And hatches. Maybe it hatches after you purchase it. Pretty cool.
A
Look at that. New home for the badass Yetis.
B
Maybe it could be man. Arcadia Genesis Lifetime access. That Arcadia Ecosystem exclusive NFT grants holders. Yeah, here's a token gate right here. So you got NFT drops. They have two of them up there. But I love the idea. I love the fact that the, the contract stays with it and the fact that gas fees are paid in XRP. Only 10.10XRP to launch a connection.
A
So, man, we might have to consider trying to launch one of the collections over there.
B
It'd be kind of fun if they
A
can get some activity. It'd be a lot of fun doing somewhere different. I was even thinking Flare because we had the one exchange Digital. I think it's Digital Dynamics. That is over on Flare.
B
Yeah, that's. That's Flare Community. That's John's project, I believe, Right?
A
Exactly. Yeah.
B
I don't know if he's here. I probably took off. It's late over there in the uk.
A
Pretty cool. We definitely need to consider launching over there. I want to see some activity. One of the, the biggest issues with the communities is lack of community involvement. Right. I think most, most XRP and layer holders at this point are there for the speculation and holding. Nobody wants to part with their. Their asset. That's the. Whereas with Ethereum, people are spending freely. Same thing with Bitcoin, people are spending freely. So we gotta see some momentum. Granted, people don't want to part with it, but you see a project you like to support, go take a hundred dollars and go convert into XRP and go buy some NFT assets and you don't have to dip into what you've invested in. Yeah, that's how you want to look at doing it. Just start supporting community growth. That'd be really.
B
How many people have joined Zao Dao here? How many people Raise your hand if you haven't joined Zyra. Why not? You gotta want to be involved in the community. You want to vote on what's going on.
A
Look at that. Sure. It's late.
B
I'm about to head out. Okay. Thanks for the mention. Great show. Okay, man, when you're coming on the show, we got to get you on the show, man. Since you already documented you on the show. When you. When can you do this? Can't leave yet, man. Not until you get back to us. Gotta come on. Gotta talk ecosystem
A
from Flare Community.
B
Yeah, we're just gonna. We're just gonna say nothing.
A
We're all gonna sit here in silence.
B
It's not 10 bucks, it's 10 XRP.
A
It's 10 XRP.
B
It's more than 10 bucks. Oh, you're talking about. Oh, $10. Oh, you're saying $10 is too much for. Too much for Zoudao? 10 bucks. Okay. Just kidding. He says, just kidding. Drop me a DM and make it happen soon. All right, that sounds good. There you go. All right, so why don't we talk a little bit about Zao Dao, who's. Who's a member of Zoda. Come on, yes or no. And it's okay if you're not, but then I'm going to ask you why not? So a lot of what we've seen is partners are coming, but nobody's voting on them because they go like, oh, I just wanted to join. Well, joining means participation. Participation means voting, so you can have a voice in the ecosystem, so you can see what passes. So that part's been a little bit. And I've had people flat out tell me. No, no, I just. Because I saw it on the chain, I thought you guys talking about. I just wanted to. I just wanted to lend my support. Well, that's not your support if you're not voting. If more than 50 of the people don't vote, you'll never have. You'll never have any sort of.
A
Nothing passes.
B
Yeah, nothing passes. Well, good. Craig holds flare. XRP and Z back. Good for you, man.
A
Well, that's the problem. Yes. You have to make quorum in order. How does it. How does it.
B
Yeah, you have to. You have to reach certain. Yeah. Quorum to a certain amount of people have to vote yes. And if you have people voting no. So you need more people voting. Right. So it has to be a threshold. You don't have people voting majority. 50 plus. So if you have people voting, know you need a bigger amount of people to vote. And there's something like 1300 members right now. So you can see you need participation. But what's going to happen is there's going to be delegated voting. Maybe you want to just join you what you're excited about. You want to just support and you don't want to delegate. Your vote is what's coming.
A
So just delegate to us. That was a proposal. Imagine you propose to delegate your vote.
B
Delegate your vote to me. To me. Let me make. I'm gonna make it happen on the chain.
A
Delegate.
B
The chain will vote for you. We. We'll all vote. We'll workshop it. The majority will all vote together. Great idea for big numbers. That's. We can do that. I don't see why we can't do that. This is interesting. This is interesting. This is. This is Tongvi Lei. She's the general counsel for Vita Labs and she explains about why this led upcoming legislation. It's interesting take because she's kind of. She's kind of got an interesting look at this.
D
Think of this as a crypto bill. I think of it as a market modernization bill. Like this is the legislation that is going to bring our financial markets into the 21st century. And to me, that's what makes it really exciting and historic and. And of course, you know, I'd be remiss not to mention vaults. We were very excited, our whole team was really excited to see the mention of, you know, not just vaults, but vault tokens and digital asset receipts and transparent systems and constrained programmatic infrastructure. Right. Like you see these terms in the bill and like I said, I think that is a really meaning conceptual shift. Like I think Congress really is beginning to understand, understand and think of crypto as infrastructure. So that was really exciting.
B
It is infrastructure, right too, because it is. More people keep calling a crypto bill, but it really is a modernization. I mean they Update language from 1934. You know, the Howie test was hanging around. They basically take something from almost 100 years ago and actually modernize it. So it is a good way to look at it. We call it a crypto bill, but it's really updating the financial infrastructure. Something we talk a lot about, Jeff.
A
That's right. You gotta love it. Gotta love the modernization aspect of it.
B
Modernization. Modernization. Well, there it is. That's it. 30 minutes. We hit 30 minute pass point. We're now gonna segue to.
A
Watch out geopolitics.
B
Geopolitics people. Geopolitics will flare
A
us in here. That's right. Got all flaring here.
B
Sup OTC Fam. Yeah, we're talking about flair. So we're gonna go into the political geopolitical thing and something amazing happened. Something just fabulously amazing. You guys know who Bill Cassidy is? Bill Cassidy. He is a Rhino. We'll get into some more stuff, but he's a Rhino. Republican in name only. He not a good guy at all. Complete an ass bag, if you will. He's just a blowhard. Anyway, this was glorious to watch this. It was NBC calling his latest primary. Look at this right here. Watch what place he comes in.
E
So NBC News has now declared that the second spot in the June 27 Republican Senate runoff in Louisiana will go to State Treasurer John Fleming. So the runoff now is set. Congresswoman Julia Letlow. State Treasurer John Fleming. And that means that Senator Bill Cassidy, two term Republican incumbent senator who voted to convict Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial in January of 2021 has been defeated. He will be denied renomination and he will become the first, first sitting Republican senator elected Republican senator since 2012 to lose a primary to be denied renomination by his party. Again, letlo clearly leading here tonight.
B
Fleming, though, yes, you want, let that be a warning to all you rhino nut jobs. Th. Your next. You're getting your ass routed too, because you are a feckless coward. You're a. I mean, where does it stop with this guy Thune. I can't stand that guy. It really needs to be punched in the face. Here is. Here we go, right here. Here we go. Here's Trump, Trump, Trump taking an awesome golf shot. Look at this. Beautiful.
F
I voted to convict President Trump because he is.
B
Oh my God,
A
I love those, those.
B
Isn't that great?
F
Because he, oh my God.
B
Gets smacked down with, with the golf ball. I love that. You gotta love that. And here's, look at this right, look at this one right here. So I'm actually going to segue over to the screen share here. Let's go to the screen share. Let's see the screen share, people.
A
Screen share.
B
Yeah, let's go, let's share my screen here. So Mitt Romney, one of the big, you know, every once in a while that guy pops his head out from hibernation and listen what Mitt Romney said. The Senate to now lose an exceptionally brilliant and creative mind, a doctor who chairs health care, a person of character. Bill Cassidy's departure is a loss for the country, dude. It's a loss for nobody. It's a loss for you because it's another rhino gone, another rhino removed from,
A
you know, it, it's, it's amazing to see how they hold on. You know, you take someone like Ait Romney, they hate everything that Trump is doing, mainly because Trump came in and is doing what he said he was going to do, right? Where all these others go in there to be there for long term and to do nothing, they keep kicking the can down the road. They have no intent of ever accomplishing anything. And at the end of the day, a majority of the senators and congressional representatives, you know, many of them, they all hang out in the same circle. So Democrat, Republican, they go to the same parties, they end up hanging out with each other. And that's how it's been now in different era. That was also how things got accomplished. Now we see such a departure from reality where you have the far left that's leading the, the Democrat Party and then the rhinos are kind of caught in the middle because they're also losing control to the MAGA conservative movement, which is we're going to take away your slush fund, we're going to take away all of your, your pet projects, all your leftist socialist pet projects and we're going to put the country back on the path that it was meant to be on. And this is, that's such a wake up call right now. And you think back, Chip, not too long ago there were so many calls even from the media that, that the Republicans were going to lose the House. This coming right? And here we go. We're seeing more and more momentum to show not only will Republicans win, but conservatives will win and they're going to win in big numbers.
B
Yeah, it's fantastic. Let's take a look at dumbo Mitt Romney. Here's Mitt Romney 2016 and 2022. Okay, just to show you who his caliber of thought here and why he's going to miss Bill Cassidy so much.
A
Mr. Hillary Clinton think about that. Trump nomination enables her victory. If President Trump continues in his campaign, if he became a nominee, I think he loses again.
B
And would you support him if he's the nominee?
A
Absolutely not. He's so.
B
And Mitt Romney's. Yeah, he's. He got bounced too. So does anybody care about Mitt Romney? No.
A
No.
B
Listen to Bill Cassidy here. Jeff, listen to this.
F
A trust. They want to trust their leaders. They want people to be held accountable. Now we are holding, I'm attempting to hold President Trump accountable and that is the trust I have from the people that elect.
B
Oh, really? What?
A
Holding him accountable for what?
B
Yeah, well, he was part. He was impeaching him right for one again. But he was the trust. Well, the trust. Nobody has any trust in you. He was telling people that his voters are like behind him.
F
And I am very confident that as time passes people will move to that position.
A
So you think you'll eventually represent a
B
majority of you in Louisiana?
G
You know,
F
number one, I think I may already represent a majority view. Do you think he can run a
A
credible campaign for president again?
B
Will he remain a force in the Republican Party?
A
What does that mean for the Republican Party?
F
I think his force Waynes the Republican Party is more than just one person.
B
Yeah, well, goodbye. No, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
A
No matter how many things wrong with.
B
He's wrong. Jason Chavitz who was in the House, remember him well, he's on a news program.
A
He Has a talk show now or something?
B
Yeah, he's on a talk show. So he had Bill Cassidy on the day of the election yesterday. Listen to this, Jeff. Like he can't even answer a simple question. But you know where he stands at the end of this interview.
H
Serve in the, in the Congress for a little while. But my question for you is still about Donald Trump. I mean, knowing what you know now about the farce that was put forward to the American people and the Congress, knowing what you know now, would you still vote to actually convict Donald Trump of, of the charges that he was put up for?
F
Reporters always love to ask that question.
B
I'm a doctor, of course they do
F
give me all the information I can. I make a decision, I move on. I don't keep on going back, oh, what happened five years ago? I'm thinking about what's going to happen five years from now. Hang on, Jason, let me finish.
A
He's going to fall back on that.
H
Everything you've done for the last years. Why can't you answer that question?
B
I like when he gets mad.
A
Yeah.
H
You just touted everything you've done for the last five years. Why can't you answer that question? Did you or did you not know, Jason, if I, I want you to answer that question. Would you or would you not actually vote to convict, knowing what you know now? It's a simple question.
B
Him.
F
Yeah. Jason, you may go back and flagellate yourself over decisions in the past. I do not. I move on. By the way, what I'm talking about is not.
B
He's talking about. He's not talking about. Then he's talking, what would you do now? You know better.
A
But that attitude, that mentality just proves why he had to be removed. The guy he's got, he's such a pompous, you know that, that he's saying you made a mistake. Go back and correct your mistake.
B
To say yes, knowing what I know now, I would not.
A
I would, I would have done it differently. Yeah. But now as a doctor, as a scientist, he's treating it like it's an exact, like science is always an exact, you know, outcome. Right. It change, there's changes. You learn new things, you adapt to the new things, then you have new, new methodologies, new pro, New protocols, new techniques. Would you want to go to a doctor like that? Hell no, I wouldn't go to a doctor like that. That's like, oh, no, I'm not going to look back at what I did, then forget that. I'm just going to keep going on, I forget about and I move on. Can you imagine what an attitude this is? The problem with the sick care insurance based model. You go to doctors like that, they could care less whether or not they're treating you. It's amazing. I've been having conversations with people. You go into the hospital system, you have an elderly person and they get a broken hip. The surgeon replaces the broken hip, the person dies. And what do they say? Oh well, their hip, I replaced the hip. The hip was perfect. Right. But they knew going into the surgery there was a high probability that person wasn't going to make it. But they didn't care. And that's the attitude. Now you take that to government and now they're imagine they're going in that direction. They're not representing your interest. There's no way. And think about how many people are like this out there. This is just, it's mind boggling to see it like firsthand unfolding the attitude and the arrogance that some of these people have.
B
Liz Cheney sat on the committee. She got bounced. She lost by 60 points. It was like a trouncing. Nobody Chad has it right. Tell me you're never Trumper without saying it. Yeah, tell me I haven't changed my, my, my opinion without telling us. You haven't changed your opinion but we know you changed your opinion. Look at this guy.
F
Not just the, is not just the present, it is the future by the way also includes that if somebody wants somebody working for the state of Louisiana for the future, not fixated on the past, then Polls close at 8 o' clock tonight. Get out there and vote. But by the way, I will continue to vote for the future of Louisiana working well with President Trump and anyone else. I'm about the future.
B
You're gone, you're not the future, son. You had a chance, you had a chance to redeem yourself if anything and go away gently. But no, now it's always great because John Kennedy's also from Louisiana. Right. The great John Kennedy. And John Kennedy's asked what his thoughts are on this.
A
What happened in Louisiana last night.
I
Well Peter, here's the way I see it. Unless you're, you're God's perfect idiot, the, the result was predictable. I mean ground control to Major Tom. The polls have shown for well over a year that Senator Cassidy was in trouble. I think President's endorsement of Congresswoman Let low was sort of the icing on the cake. Bill knew that.
B
Yeah.
I
But he decided to run anyway. I respect that. I thank him for his service. He was very Gracious in his concessions speech. We now got a runoff between two fine people. For what it's worth, I don't plan to get involved. A wise man once said nothing. Why? Because he's a wise man. But I don't plan on weighing in. And you know, if one of them starts talking about my mama, I might, but otherwise I'm just going to vote like everybody else.
B
You started talking about my mom. I might get involved. Yeah, I know.
F
Visual.
B
And that is so fantastic. He's just.
A
He's so hilarious. He did a stand up.
B
Great. Ground control to Major Tom. Ground control to Major Tom. Okay. Like, that's the greatest way to call him out. Like, he knew. Everyone knew for a year. Yeah, Visual vendetta. Actually, let me take that back. He's a good politician. We need him. But if you ever decide not to be a politician, he's definitely has a career as a comic. Yeah, no doubt. He's so freaking funny. Here's Bill Cassidy. Look at this here. Oh, Trump just slapped his ass. That's so great. Taking out the trash. Oh, that was great. See the rhinos, Jeff?
A
I see all the rhino. Oh, my God.
B
That's fantastic. In the face. He gets up and.
A
Us in a pack of dead rhinos.
B
You got a bunch. Yeah, get. Get rid of those rhinos, man. I'll tell you what, this guy.
A
What?
B
He is so. He's such an ass, man. He is such an ass.
A
Oh, my God, that's so funny.
B
Look at this. This is the. This is such. The sa. This is such a sad video. Like him thanking his. His three supporters. He actually made a video to. To thank the three people that supported him. Watch this. This is so sad. This is embarrassing.
F
This will be the last post from the political campaign for all those of you who worked on the campaign. On the campaign, voted for Bill Cassidy, voted for the future of our state. I thank you.
A
I'm indebted.
F
I pledge to continue to work with you for the betterment, for the fam of our state and for everyone that lives here.
B
Dude, that is so sad. I wish he just wouldn't have put that video out. I'd like to thank the three supporters that supported me.
A
Should not have done that.
B
Barbecue, man. I'm getting hungry. I need some barbecue. Justin, what's going on? I could use some barbecue, man. Damn, I could almost smell it in the. In the air.
A
Barbecue.
B
How funny is that, Jeff? What? What a complete clown. You know, Thomas Massey's all in. All kind. Thomas Massey's also in trouble. And Trump put Out a banger of a, of a, of a post today.
A
There's a whole bunch of them that are going down. Yeah, you look just across the board. So pathetic.
B
Yeah, so look at this one right here. Check. Take this one, Jeff. Read this one out here. But this is, this is. Trump put up a thing about Massey today. Here we go. Go ahead and take that. This is Trump's post today about Massey.
A
There we go. Third round, third rate. Congressman Thomas Massie, a weak and pathetic one. Third third rate. Not even, not even secondary third rate.
B
No.
A
Congressman Thomas Massey, a weak and pathetic rhino from the great Commonwealth of Kentucky, a place I love and won big six times, including all primaries. He must be thrown out of office asap. He's the worst Republican congressman in history. Voting against tax cuts, the wall, law enforcement, in favor of the transgender mutualization of our children, men playing in women's sports, and so many horrible, more horrible things. And just as a pause on this, this is. I don't even know how you have a Republican that supports all those things. You know, I just don't get it. So Trump's definitely calling him to the mat right here. He continues, the incredible people. Kentucky's 4th congressional district gave us a mandate to make America great again. And the person that will help us do that is Navy Seals, Navy Seal, Army Ranger, and fifth generation Kentucky farmer, Captain Ed Garain, a true America first patriot. There you go. Trump is putting his support behind those that are going to bring this country into the future.
B
Trump endorses. You win. I mean, they said MAGA was over. Well, here's Thomas Massie himself.
A
Jeff, is there a reason why you decided to let your beard grow, Congressman?
B
I mean, so just so you know, it says underneath there, Thomas Massie is still a retard. That was this week on abc.
A
So is there a reason why you decided to let your beard grow, Congressman? I mean, to be honest, you do look kind of weird.
B
Well, my mommy told me she kind of like my beard because it makes me look less of a retard. So I just, I just don't want to look like a retard no more. You still look like a retard, Congressman.
A
But let's ask this Indian retard what he thinks.
B
That is exactly what I told you, Baddy. Before you were just regular retard.
G
And now you're same retard, but with new beard baddie.
B
But you still the same retard. Thank you for inviting me to this interview. I don't, I don't. That's real, Jeff. That might be AI.
A
You don't think so? You think made that up? You don't think I was.
B
I'm not sure that's real. I thought might be AI. It's a good pot. It's a very good. There's a strong possibility it could be AI. I'm not 100 sure, but I think. I don't think it's real. We had two retards. Whoever makes these things, man, whoever has these damn things is just full out phenomenal.
A
Chad's saying that Thomas Massey is awesome. More MAGA than Trump. He's smeared for calling out.
B
No, Thomas Massey's a douchebag. A major douche. He's gone. Later, dude. We don't need to need you. And then he's got that. He's got that controversy. I didn't want to bring it up here, but. Yeah, it's looking pretty bad with this woman. Not looking good. Timing's everything, people. Here's another great banger of a Spencer Pratt ad.
J
All right, class, great job today. Hey, I have to tell you something. Promise you won't get mad? I'm voting for Spencer Pratt. Get mad. I'm voting for Spencer Pratt, too. Did someone mention Spencer Pratt? Um, no. No. Oh, because I'm actually voting for him. Oh, so are we. I just don't know if we can say that too loud over here. Say what? Spencer Pratt. Um, he's got my vote. Wait, is everyone here voting for Spencer Pratt?
B
You are not alone. It says on the screen, vote Spencer Pratt. That's so funny. Got liberal women, like, they're all whispering, like, I don't know if we can say that. I don't. Don't get mad at me. I mean, it's brilliant on its face just because of that. How it pulls in the real emotions of these. These. These women. Man, you gotta love that, Jeff. Really gotta love it. I have to say that the rally yesterday was massive. You know the Save the Kingdom rally that put on my Tommy Robinson? Just absolutely fantastic. I have to say what an amazing spectacle that was. And. And of course, Keira Starmer. He's gotta go. Even if he goes, they're gonna have 2.0 starmer. It's gonna be the same thing. But look at this. Check out this questions. Watch how he answers this question. Jeff, what happen if you become a prime minister tomorrow? What would you change?
I
I would stop Islam. I'd end foreign funding in this country. All the migrants be taken out of the hotels and sent back tomorrow by the military. I would reverse. I would have Re Migration. It's time for many Muslims to leave this country. If they're not going to pay or similar, it's time to go on. You've got your homes to go to. This is our home. We've got nowhere to go to. We're not allowing it to change any longer. You've seen, seen today. People are fed up, man. People are fed up.
J
Fed up.
B
National sovereignty, safety and security.
I
Yep.
B
And national identity. Yeah, man, I sound like a. I mean, sounds like a pretty good plan. I mean, it's not too different than Trump. And then. So, you know, Glenn Beck was there and I really like the speech a little bit long, but I really like. What's interesting about this, Jeff, is as you're watching this, listen to the reaction of the crowd. Glenn Beck talks a lot about the Constitution, founding. He goes back into history. And I really don't think that the English, the, the Brits are actually taught any of this. Like, I don't know how much they get into.
A
Not. They don't even teach it here.
B
Yeah, well, that's another, that's the other thing. But, but it seems to be a very foreign concept to them. And I don't, don't. I also don't know if they understand that the government doesn't give you your rights. Like, I, I can almost see people sitting there going, like, what is he talking about? Because it kind of feels like even though you hear some people cheer here and there, like there's a disconnect, like they're just not understanding what we, you know, how great our Constitution is and what we have in the United States. It's a little bit long, but I want to get your thoughts on this. When this, when we conclude. Tell me what you think.
A
Let's break it up a little bit while we go through it. So we don't.
B
Okay, we can do that. So you can stop it anytime you want, Jeff. You can.
A
Yeah.
G
Bring you greetings from the United States of America. It is such an honor to be with you today. It is really an amazing thing to see you all stand up. And I come here to stand with you shoulder to shoulder because of people like Tommy and people like you that have shown the courage to speak and stand when so few will. Thank you. You have truly paid a price for refusing to ignore what is obviously happening all around us. You refuse to not see what's happening to our streets and to our daughters and to our women in the streets. And it means something as an American to see you stand. And I just want you to Know there are millions of Americans all across the other side of the world that see you, hear you, and are praying for you and are still standing with you today.
A
Jeff, just to think about the power, the message that 250 years ago, right, things were a little bit different. We're getting ready to celebrate the 250th for. For the US and right.
B
We. Well, Jeff, we had our seven. They. We had our 1776. This is their 2026 moment. Will they blow it? 100. Will they stand up? No, they're gonna lay over. They're gonna bend the knee and. And go back to drinking in the pub and say, oh, we had a fun day. That was fun.
A
Right? So that. So that's the. That's the opportunity right here. 250 years later, an American is on the shores of. Of England telling them how they can save themselves and liberate themselves from their. Their intolerant government that's giving away their wealth and riches and their own women and children to a foreign invader. It's. It's insane to see what. What's happening in the. In the. In the UK and over in England. And so here's Glenn Beckett again, an American, explaining to them, this is how important this is. I mean, this is. And it's even more meaningful that it's our 250th.
B
Right.
A
Anniversary celebration. Anniversary from liberation from them. I mean, it's. It's. It's pretty unreal. You think about this, right?
B
Yeah, let's go. It's a little awkward. Okay.
F
Yeah.
A
Here we go.
G
I want to make it clear why I am.
A
Thank you for the chance.
G
I will tell you that I am here today, like you, not to stand against anything and hate, not to stand for hatred, but to stand for the most revolutionary idea in human history. That all men are created equal. And not because of a king or parliament says it, but because we are all endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights. Those rights cannot be taken from us by government or religion. No ideology can take them away. They are life and liberty. And the right to speak your mind and to speak truth. The right to worship or not worship according to your conscience. Equal justice under the law. These words come from our American Declaration of Independence. But they were born here on this soil. They were born here in England.
A
The meadows, they don't get a chip.
B
They look. They've got. They've. Honestly, this is the craziest part. When I watch this, they don't have the foggiest idea what he's saying, baby, if you think about it, these people are so pistol whipped, they're so hurting, they don't even understand, like you're the, you know, the whole idea. Like he's talking about stuff that's coming out of the Declaration of Independence. He's talking about endowed by your creator, you know, unalienable rights. Nobody can take these rights away from you. Nobody grants you the rights. And they're kind of like, they're like,
A
what does that mean? Right? Because they're not given those rights, right.
B
And this is such a foreign concept to them that they just are just. It's like there's just white face. They don't even. Are they listening? They're looking at him like, what is he saying? What words are coming out of his mouth? It's insane.
A
It is insane.
G
Here, let's go to your conscience. Equal justice under the law. These words come from our American Declaration of Independence. But they were born here on this soil. They were born here in England, the meadows of Runnymede with a Magna Carta. They were born in the English common law that said even the king is not above the law. In the covenant faith of the Scottish people, the stubborn independence of the freeborn Englishman who said they will never bow to a tyrant. These are the principles that built the freest, most prosperous civilization the world has ever known. And Sharif, Sharia law cannot abide by it.
B
They understood that, Jeff.
G
Sharia law cannot live side by side. It does not see all men that are created equal. It does not practice and protect the right to leave that faith or even criticize that faith. It does not grant equal dignity to every daughter and every son under the law. And where Sharia law advances as a parallel system, our hard fought rights retreat and history has shown it time and time again, our shared failure on both sides of the Atlantic is that we forgot where our rights come from. We have treated liberty as something automatic, something in the air that we breathe instead of the sacred inheritance that needs to be taught and defended and lived by each and every generation. But that forgetting has opened the door. But the good news is the uniting hope is that it's not too late to remember. We can, beginning now, teach our children again that those God given rights, those truths are what makes us free. We can demand that every person that comes to our shore or the shores of any country in western civilization, or those who are already here, that they must live under the same equal law that protects every citizen. One law, one standard of living. One standard for every man and every woman and if we can do that, then we'll restore what made the west worth restoring and defending Great Britain and the United States. We are not separate stories. We are branches of the same tree, the tree that is rooted. Inequality before God and the law. If we stand together on that foundation, not in anger, but in clarity and the courage that you are showing today, just for standing here, then our children will inherit, not decline, but they will again inherit a brighter future. A civilization where every person can come here and walk these streets, streets in safety, speak freely and pursue happiness without fear. That is our fight. That is our inheritance. That is what will unite all of us and renew the West. I am so happy to see all of your flags all in front. We have been told that we should be ashamed. We are not ashamed of our heritage. We have learned from our mistakes. We are proud that our shared heritage changed the world, healed the world and fed the world. And as our president, President Lincoln once said, with malice toward none and charity toward all, let us remember to truly who we are. Raise your flags and raise your voices. As our president George Washington said at the beginning of our nation, let us raise a standard that the wise and the honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God, as the scriptures tell us. As for me and my house, we know who we serve. And as our current president, Donald Trump might say, make England great again.
B
That's. How great is it?
G
May God bless you. May God help us save our shared republics and civilization. Thank you for standing.
B
It's not a republic. Thank you for. I like what he said. Thank you for standing. It's like, well, there's no sitting rooms here.
F
Right.
A
There's nowhere to. Nowhere to sit. Thank you for hanging out.
B
Visual vendetta says, I really like Glenn Beck. We need younger conservatives to speak out. How Glenn is right now. Well, we had somebody called Charlie Kirk, who was, what, 31 when he got taken out. The. The people who do speak out do get taken out, so. Also said the youth this country are the ones that will inherit it if they're not the speakers of their age. There are some great young conservatives, though. I see a lot of them. They might not have the profile, but they do have.
A
They need to have people to look up to.
B
Yeah. And people. And also if you know who these people are too, because, like, you know, Glenn Beck's well known, but I know a lot of people were. Didn't make it over there because Kira Starmer banned them. He canceled their visas. So.
A
Yeah, there you go. John Doyle, Aaron McIntyre and Chris Rufo.
B
So there are some really great.
A
Aaron or, or I don't know, I don't know.
B
But one more thing. We'll end this thing. But it's amazing how smug James Comey is. Like, listen to this, Jeff. This is crazy.
A
Another one.
B
What an ass. What an ass. He thinks he is so untouchable. Dude. This guy is going down that from the top level, the people running it. If you're bragging about forcing out career prosecutors and agents because the President doesn't like a lawful investigation they conduct, something is seriously broken at the top. But I have great confidence in the people down below who are just trying to hang on and I'm urging them, hang on two and a half years and then we can rebuild these institutions. But we need good people in those roles. America does. He's basically telling to defy the President to hang on and keep working against the President. I mean, what, what, What a complete ass. What a complete absolute ass.
A
It shows you the audacity of the insider movement of dc. So you think about the fact that how does DC operate and function? You have the elected officials, right? From President down to Senate, House of Representatives, and then you have all the appointed officials, you have all the unelected bureaucrats. And then you have the nine to fivers. The nine to fivers and the unelected bureaucrats that get appointed into position, they believe they're there many times for a long time, especially the 9 to 5. They're there for their entire career, right? They're getting their pensions from the government. So think about how pompous many of them are because they believe they're the lifeblood of the government and they're the ones making decisions, they're the ones doing things. And they're. And he's telling them to hold the line. Basically, you can survive another two and a half years. And when he's out, you'll just divide the next guy, the next president. Build the government the way you see it to be built. And this is the audacity of the employees that go to work there. That no, you're not there building something in your vision. You're there simply as a worker of the American people. You're there doing the administrative work to help the government keep moving forward based on the will of the American people. They've got it so ass backwards. But because of their career, they look at the elected officials as temporary. These guys are coming and going, but we're going to be the lifetimers. That's a real dangerous position to be in. When those people are making decisions and also dictating the potential move of the country. Because when you have, like, what he just said, you know, if you hold the line, then you're also holding to your own narrative, your own outcome. And we, we got to put an end to that. And, and a lot of that's going to come through leadership. It comes through the, the appointed bureaucrats, the unelected bureaucrats, and even those guys. Obviously, as we've seen, case in point, we just saw one, you know, that, you know, can cause, you know, major, major harm to this country. And, you know, he's got to be very cognizant of that.

The great James Wood. Love this guy so much. What a phenomenal. He's got, like a massively high iq. Tommy Robinson may just say the uk but it's impending death knell. Islam must be eradicated or our comrade nation is doomed. And President Trump is turning the tide here as well. 100, man. It's not. Kashria law is not compatible. You know, also, you got to really worry when you start getting, like, people that have 85 or 98 IQs below 70, like, talking about, we consider them, you know, disadvantaged, whatever, mentally ill. And, you know, I mean, in the uk, they were saying, well, maybe it's not a bad thing. The cousins married. Okay, keep bending the knee because you'll be crushed. You'll be put out the pasture, you'll be working in camps. I mean, this, it's so funny how they always just like the, just like in Iran. Remember how the left was in Iran? They were like, yeah, we can't wait for the ayatollah to come here. Meanwhile, they were killed, rounded up, killed. Some got out. They were lucky. And the left just got crushed because they were no longer useful. They used them for the revolution and guess what? Boom. Out. See you later. So that's all we. That's all the time we have, Jeff.

“The infrastructure guys don’t care if retail understands it yet. They’re building smart accounts, AI integrations, agentic agents, value routing, cross-chain liquidity. People are still debating the candles on the four-hour chart.” – Chip (01:15)
“We want FLR to be tied directly to the economic productivity of the network itself. And that is much bigger idea.” (08:50)
"NFTs in 2026 are doing more than sitting in wallets... they distribute revenue, they carry on-chain royalties, and they get traded by AI agents that never really touch UI." – Chip (19:00)
"I think of it as a market modernization bill... legislation that is going to bring our financial markets into the 21st century." (29:21)
